He was 83. I No cause of death was an nounced. Schwartz collaborated with Broadway’s finest lyricists, including Ira Gershwin, Oscar Hammerstein LI. Frank Loesser, Dorothy Sields and Leo Robin, but he was most fa mous for his longtime partnership with Howard Dietz, who died last year. | In addition to “Dancing in the Dark” and “That’s Entertainment,” Schwartz and Dietz wrote “By My self,” “I Guess I’ll Have to Cnange My Plan,” “You and the Night and the Music,” “Alone Together” and “Something to Remember You By.” I Schwartz’s career spanned six de cades and his work was marked by romantic, graceful melodies often compared to the music of Jerome Kern. i Schwartz, responsible for stage and screen smashes such as “The Band Wagon” and “A Tree Grows in Brooklyn,” began collaborating with Dietz in 1929”s “The Little Snow,” which featured the song “I guess I’ll Have to Change My Plan.” Other shows included “Three’s A Crowd,” “At Home Abroad,” “In side USA,” “By the Beautiful Sea” and “The Gay Life,” whose score w^s considered to be one of Schwartz’s masterpieces. In addition to his songwriting ca reer, Schwartz produced several Hollywood films including “Night and Day,” a biography of Cole Por ter, and “Cover Girl,” starring Rita Hayworth. Schwartz was born in Brooklyn on Nov. 25, 1900. He went on to obtain a master’s degree in literature from Columbia University and passed the bar in 1924. He wrote for the Grand Street Follies in 1926 and the following year penned half the score for “The New Yorkers.” His last show was “Jennie” in 1963, starring Mary Martin. “That’s Entertainment,” an anthology of Schwartz-Dietz songs, had a short run in 1972. Wednesday, September 5, 1984AThe Battalion/Page 9 Robot arm rids Discovery of ice United Press International CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. — Demonstrating the shuttle’s ability to deal with the unexpected, Discov ery’s “ice busters” used the ship’s ro bot arm Tuesday to whack off a 15- inch icicle that had threatened a safe return home Wednesday morning. Commander Henry Hartsfield drove the 50-foot, triple-jointed arm down over the left side of Discovery and sent the ice chunk flying away in orbit so it wouldn’t break off and hit the ship’s tail during the high-speed return to Earth. A 5-inch icicle was left sticking out from the waste water discharge nozzle, but six hours later the astro nauts took another look with a tele vision camera on the arm and all the ice was gone. “We nave got some good news for you,” Judy Resnik tola mission con trol. “We took another look at the nozzle. There’s no ice.” “The ground crew passes on spe cial thanks to the ice busters of 41- D,” said Dick Richards in mission control, referring to NASA’s desig nation for the maiden flight of the Discovery. Hartsfield, Resnik, Michael Coats, Richard Mullane, Steven Hawley and Charles Walker were scheduled to glide to a sunrise landing at Ed wards Air Force Base in the south ern California desert at 6:38 a.m. PDT. They will have covered 2.17 million miles since leaving Florida last Thursday. The icebreaking operations dis rupted the schedule for the final full day in orbit for the six-day shake- down cruise and Hartsfield at one point politely advised mission con trol the crew might not be able to do everything they wanted. “We’ve got to get going here,” he said. “We’ll do our best, but I think my priority here is to get the space craft cleaned up and get it ready to come home.” In addition to the 15-inch icicle, the astronauts were leaving in orbit three communications satellites launched Thursday, Friday and Sat urday for Satellite Business Systems, Hughes Aircraft Co. and AT&T. All three spacecraft were reported in their proper orbits and working well, restoring the shuttle’s reputa tion as a dependable way to trans port satellites to orbit: That reputa tion had become tarnished after two satellite rocket failures in February and June’s aborted shuttle launch at tempt. Coming back with the crew was a concentration of a mystery hormone produced by a commercial medicine making machine aboard Discovery. Walker, the industry engineer run ning the processor, said the product may help treat millions of people witn a variety of ailments. The astronauts also were bringing back, stowed in a box 7 inches high, the golden solar sail power genera tor that was hoisted 105 feet over Discovery Sunday. Because engineers did not know why the ice formed in the first place, no more water or liquid waste was discharged from Discovery. That metint toilet restrictions instituted Sunday were still in effect for every one but Resnik. The concern about the 15-inch ici cle, said flight director Randy Stone, was that it might have had enough energy if it broxe off during re-entry to puncture Discovery’s left maneu vering rocket pod. He said no one could predict what would happen. Continental pilots form new airline United Press International EL PASO — Former Continental Airlines employees are forming a new airline in Los Angeles that could offer service by the end of 1984, of ficials of the company said Tuesday.
