I KINTNERSVILLE, Pa. — Com
poser Arthur Schwartz, who wrote
the scores of Broadway’s most mem
orable melodies including “Dancing
in the Dark” and “That’s Entertain
ment,” died Tuesday at his home.
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.

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

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.
