Hunger
Harvard task force to visit
B-CS area, 4 other counties
Associated Press
BRYAN — The Harvard task
force which listed Brazos County as
the hungriest county in Texas will
visit the Bryan-College Station area
and four other Texas “hunger”
counties next week.
Task force doctors plan to be in
Texas Feb. 5, 6 and 7, said April
Evans, who works on field investiga
tions for the Physician Task Force
on Hunger in America at the Har
vard University School of Public
Health.
A team of doctors will visit Brazos
County on Wednesday after a meet
ing with Gov. Mark White and a
briefing from state-level social serv
ice officials.
A recent inspection of census data
indicates that Brazos County’s pov
erty figures are skewed by the large,
non-working student population.
Evans has said that student pop
ulations were not factored into the
task force’s figures in establishing a
list of the 150 “hunger” counties —
so judged because of a low percent
age of food stamp recipients in rela
tion to the number of residents mak
ing less than the national poverty
standard.
There will be two teams of doc
tors. The doctors plan to visit
Walker, San Saba, Hays and Cald
well counties, in addition to Brazos,
the Bryan-College Station Eagle re
ported.
Dr. Larry Brown of Harvard, who
chairs the task force, is expected to
be among the group that visits Bra
zos County.
NASA impounds data
(continued from page 1)
Speculation focused on an omi
nous bright flash that was visible at
the base of the fuel tank before the
explosion, but shuttle director Jesse
Moore said he wanted to discourage
that.
“You are asking me to lay out
causes.” he said. “I’m not prepared
to do that.”
NA$A scheduled a memorial
service at the Johnson Space Center
in Houston to be held Friday and
said President and Mrs. Reagan will
attend.
In Palm Bay, a community south
of the space center, plans were made
to name a school after Christa
McAuliffe of Concord, N.H., who
was aboard the shuttle as the first
“common citizen” to fly in space. She
had planned to teach two lessons
from space to schoolchildren all
across the country.
Killed along with McAuliffe were
commander Francis R. Scobee, 46;
pilot Michael J. Smith, 40; Judith A.
Resnik, 36; Ronald E. McNair, 35;
Ellison S. Onizuka, 39, and Gregory
B. Jarvis, 41.
An investigation team held its first
meeting to start the long inquiry into
why the $1.2 billion shuttle, appear
ing to be orl a perfect course, sud
denly exploded 74 seconds after lift
off Tuesday, raining fiery debris
into the Atlantic Ocean.
Lt. John Philbin, commander of
the Coast Guard cutter Point Rob
erts, brought back the first load of
debris. He said there was 600
pounds of it, much of it in small
pieces.
“Most of what we found was bulk
head-type material, aluminum with
insulation attached to it,” he said.
“There were a couple of charred
pieces and we did bring in some
small cylinder-type tanks this morn
ing.”
The Point Roberts was the first
military ship on the scene. He said
his crew watched the debris coming
down and got the location from a
tug in the area.
The space agency impounded ev
ery scrap of paper, film and data
connected with the launch and
pleaded with souvenir hunters to
turn in anything they find on the
beaches in this central Florida area.
“We need every piece of that be
cause we don’t know where the clue
might be,” said Richard Smith, the
director of the Kennedy Space Cen
ter.
Recovery crews found some of the
ship’s heat-shielding external tiles,
and the largest remnant was a chunk
of metal 12 feet by 4 feet. Moore said
it was unlikely that bodies of the
crew members would be found.
“I would always like to hold out
hope,” he said. “However, we’ve
seen a lot of small debris.”
The crew apparendy had no
warning.
“We have no indication that the
commander had any sense of any
thing wrong,” William Graham, act
ing administrator of NASA, said.
“The spacecraft was traveling at
more than twice the speed of sound
at 47,000 feet, which is at the bound
ary of the stratosphere where there
are physical changes such as optical
and visual phenomena and shock
waves.”
Graham said the ship’s two solid-
rocket boosters, which could be seen
heading away from the fireball and
forming a huge Y-shaped trail in the
sky, were deliberately destroyed by
the range safety officer, who gave a
computer command that triggered
explosives stored aboard the rockets.
“There was an indication one of
the solids was heading for a pop
ulated area and he took the correct
action,” Graham said. After a nor
mal launch, the boosters drop off
the shuttle fuel tank, parachute into
the ocean, and are recovered by
waiting ships.
Their condition, had they been in
tact, might have helped solve the in
credible jigsaw puzzle confronting
the space agency.
The officials reiterated that there
will be no more shuttle flights until
investigating teams have made their
report and corrective actions are
taken.
“I want to assure you, as others
have, including the president of the
United States, that this loss will not
stop us as Americans from exploring
the frontiers of science and the fron-
_ tiers of space,” Graham said.

(continued from page 1)
As of midday, 19 nations and
NATO and the United Nations
had sent messages of condo
lences.
Soviet leader Mikhail Gorba
chev, whose country has lost four
astronauts on space missions,
said, “We share the feeling of sor
row in connection with the tragic
death of the crew of the space
shuttle Challenger. We express
our condolences to the people of
the United States and to the fami
lies.”
Speakes said a permanent re
view board will be named soon to
take over from the interim board
that already has started collecting
data for what he said would be a
very detailed and prolonged in
vestigation into the tragedy.
Speakes said it will take “a pe
riod of time” before a decision is
made on whether to allocate
money to replace the Challenger,
a $1.2 billion spaceship that was
one of five shuttles.
Sen. John Glenn, D-Ohio, who
went to Cape Canaveral
Bush and Sen. Jake Garni
Utah., said he favors buikfci
replacement for Challenger £
predicted there will be note*
thusiasrn among congress^
supporters of the space progej
because of the accident.
“I would say don’t lose 1
the program,” said Glenn]
