Bush and his wife, Barbara, end ing a Five-day visit to their adopted home state, arrived at a precinct in west Houston shortly after the polls opened at 7 a.m. Bush’s voting eligibility came un der fire just before the 1984 general election when state Rep. Clint Hack ney, D-Houston, challenged the vice president’s right to vote in Texas. Hackney’s attorneys claimed Bush had violated Texas law because he sold his Houston home in 1981, then purchased one in Kennebunkport, Maine. Bush used his Maine address on his income tax return to gain roll over proceeds from the sale of his $792,000 Houston home, Hackney’s attorneys said. The Internal Revenue Service ruled that Bush’s principle residence was Washington, D.C., not Maine, and therefore he had to pay capital interest gains from the sale of his home. Carl Smith, Harris County asses sor and tax collector and the county official in charge of voter registra tion, allowed Bush to vote in the 1984 election, citing a state constitu tional provision that says a voter can continue to claim state residency if he is serving the federal government elsewhere. The vice president, who served as a congressman from Houston, voted in Houston in 1982 and 1984, listing a Houston hotel as his address. At a hearing in June, Bush’s attor neys presented documents proving Bush owned undeveloped land in Houston, had a Texas drivers’ li cense and belonged to a Houston church. County election officials ruled that Busn was a Texan and eligible to vote in the state.

Mission commander Henry Hartsfield and pilot Steven Nagel, assisted by astronaut James Bucnli, will guide the stubby-winged shuttle to a landing at 12:44 p.m. EST today on a dry lakebed runway at Edwards Air Force Base. Two West German scientists, Re- inhard Furrer and Ernst Messersch- mid, Dutch physicist Wubbo Ockels and American science astronauts Bonnie Dunbar and Guion Bluford worked rapidly Tuesday to complete the 76 experiments crammed inside the 23-foot-long Spacelab module in the shuttle’s cargo bay. Messerschmicl and Bluford, the “red team” in the two-shift, around- the-clock operation of Spacelab, will _i c~ . close out the final experiment just lair eighu hours before landing. John F. Kennedy Space Center for more elaborate tests. le “blue team” of Furrer, Dun bar and Ockels will awaken from their last sleep in spacejust in time to help complete the stowage. Officials in West Germany, which paid NASA $64 million to carry the experiments into orbit, called the mission “highly successful.” They predicted that 90 to 95 per cent of all of the science studies would be completed. ter will last for a week and the astro nauts will return twice more in the following two weeks for additional tests. During their week in space, the five tested themselves to measure how their bodies adapted to zero gravity. After today’s landing, Challeng er’s five science astronauts will be taken quickly to a medical lab at the Dryden Flight Research Center, a NASA facility at Edwards. The experiments included blood studies and a series of physical mea surements and body movements clo sely monitored by instruments. Researchers there will start a se ries of tests to monitor how well Mes- serschmid, Furrer, Ockels, Bluford and Dunbar re-adapt to gravity after a week in the weightlessness of orbit. Later the five will be flown to Four of the astronauts also rode a sled inside Spacelab that subjected them to acceleration forces equal to the tug of Earth’s gravity. They will undergo the same tests and measurements on the ground to determine how quickly their bodies fects or si shake off the effects of space travel.
