NASA delays
Delta launch
for 48 hours
CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. (AP)
— NASA on Thursday postponed
for 48 hours the first space launch
here since the Challenger disaster,
after a small fuel leak raised concern
that the Delta rocket carrying a
weather satellite would not reach or
bit.
The leak of about a quarter-cup
of kerosene-type fuel past a valve in
the main engine was found a little
more than three hours before the
rocket was to blast off. The launch
was rescheduled for 6:18 p.m. Satur
day.
NASA spokesman George Dillard
said, “There was no chance of an ex
plosion . . . There was concern that
the rocket could lose thrust and not
have a full-duration burn,” prevent
ing it from going into orbit.
It is not uncommon to have a
small amount of leakage in the en
gine system, which is at the bottom
stage of the three-stage rocket, offi
cials said.
The rocket’s payload this trip is
GOES-7, the seventh in a series of
geostationary operational environ
mental satellites. It cost $57.5 million
to build and the National Oceanic
and Atmospheric Administration is
paying NASA $42 million to launch
it.
McAuliffe’s
funeral service
held Thursday
CONGORD, N.H. (AP) —
Ghrista McAuliffe, who sacrificed
her life for the dream of becoming
the first ordinary citizen in space,
was laid to rest Thursday in a hill
side cemetery overlooking the city
where she taught school.
In a brief statement, the family
announced that the 37-year-old
Concord High School teacher had
become the first of the seven Chal
lenger astronauts to be buried.
Family spokesman Michael Calla
han said, “A private Roman Catho
lic interment service was held at 1 1
a.m. for S. Christa McAuliffe. The
service was conducted by McAu
liffe’s cousin, the Rev. James Leary.
“The family conveys its deep
gratitude to all who respected its
privacy in these moments,”
Immediately after the ceremony,
workers removed flowers from the
bare gravesite, presumably to direct
attention away from it.
Soviet nuclear accident
Soviet official defends accident reporting
A
WASH INGTON (AP) — A So
viet official, in an extraordinary
appearance before a House sub
committee, said Thursday his
country delayed telling the world
about the Chernobyl accident be
cause officials wanted to know
“what the consequences were be
fore making an announcement.”
And Vitaly Churkin, a second
secretary of the Soviet Embassy,
calmly responding to sometimes
testy questions of House mem
bers, insisted: “We have been
very forthcoming.”
“If they have any prob
lems, they will not have
medical bills to pay. ”
— Vitaly Churken, sec
ond secretary of the So
viet Embassy.
Churkin’s testimony did not
deviate from the official accounts
put out by the Soviet government
in the wake of the April 26 acci
dent at the Chernobyl nuclear
complex.
The embassy representative in
sisted that only two people were
killed in the April 26 accident and
197 injured, 18 of them seriously.
He also maintained the Soviet
Union had met its responsibilities
to notify other countries of the
accident.
“Definitely there has been an
accident which lias not been liqui
dated yet and theoretically poses
a threat to people outside the So
viet Union,” Churkin said. “We
are still trying to manage the situ
ation. We have not told other
countries yet that everything is
OK and that they can relax.”
Subcommittee chairman Ed
Markey, D-Mass., told Churkin
that instead of celebrating May
Day, the Soviets should have been
sending a “Mayday (warning)sig
nal" to the residents of the Sovia
Union who lived near the Cher
nobyl fallout.
“It would not be correct on m)
part to accept any advice from
you,” Churkin replied. He added,
“If they have any problems, they
will not have medical hills to pay."
At another point. Rep. Rot
Wyden, D-Ore., pressed the So-
viet official at one point tosayit
laymen's terms how the aaident
happened.
“Can you tell me in those same
laymen’s terms how the Chal
lenger accident happened,’’ re
plied Churkin, adding that, like
the shuttle explosion, the nuclear
accident was “something no one
thought could happen."
T.S. officials continued to of-
lei a more severe assessment of
the accident Thursday, citingthe
likelihood of numerous radiation
deaths, contaminated farmland
and continuing radiation releases
-cl
at the damaged plant.
Soviets ask marrow transplant group for aid
LOS ANGELES (AP) — The Soviet Union agreed
Thursday to accept help for victims of a nuclear acci
dent near Kiev from an international bone-marrow
transplant organization, the group’s chairman said.
Dr. Robert P. Gale of the the International Bone
Marrow Transplant Registry, which represents 128
centers that do bone marrow transplants, said he re
ceived a telephone call today from the Soviet Embassy
in Washington. Soviet officials told him they were
“anxious for me come, confer with my counterparts in
the Soviet Union and, if necessary, take whatever
steps are necessary,” he said.
Those steps would include determining the num
ber of people suf fering from radiation sickness, then
overseeing massive international efforts to locate suit
able hone marrow donors and perform transplants,
Gale said.
The registry has access to lists of 50,000 to 100,000
people who have offered to donate bone marrow.
Main >w transplants are the only way to treat other
wise fatal doses of radiation. Radiation destroys the
marrow, where vital components of the blood and the
immune system are produced.
Texas planf could be asked fo aid Soviets
AMARILLO (AP) — The Pan-
tex nuclear weapons plant here is
reportedly one of several facilities
the Department of Energy is
sounding out for help if the So
viet Union asks for aid in quelling
its nuclear power plant accident.
But the Amarillo Globe-News
reported in a copyright story
Thursday that officials at Pantex,
the final assembly point for all the
nation’s nuclear weapons, said
they couldn’t do much to help.
“All Department of Energy fa
cilities around the country that
have the capability of responding
to an accident or incident involv
ing radiation were pulsed to see
what was available in case we were
asked,” David Jackson, a spokes
man for the DOE in Albuquer
que, N.M., said Wednesday night.
“There are no plans at this par
ticular point to deploy any DOE
people. That could change, and if
it does, I’m sure there would be
some kind of announcement.”
Charles Poole, manager at the
Pantex plant, said DOE officials
have asked Pantex officials about
its equipment and personnel for
possible deployment to the Soviet
Union.
Poole said the plant has an 18-
member team trained to deal with
nuclear weapons accidents, but it
has no personnel with expertise
in nuclear power plant accidents.
Jackson said, “Pantex is just
one of our many, many facilities
that was asked the same kinds of
questions."
Sandia National Laboratories,
the Los Alamos National Labo
ratory in Albuquerque, Pantex
and 4 1 other places were queried
about their resources, Jackson
said.
He said Pantex is not beingsin-
gled out in any sjiecial way.
U.S intelligence reports main
tain that the nuclear disaster in
the Ukraine is still out of control.
The United States has offered
technical and humanitarian assis
tance, but the Soviets have notre-
plied.
Shultz says Marcos a free man
There is no marker and there
was no indication from Callahan as
to when one might be erected.
The grave is near the top of a
gentle slope, in front of a large ev
ergreen surrounded by other trees
just beginning to bud.
The spot overlooks the hills that
surround northern Concord.
It is about two miles from McAu
liffe’s house and the high school
where she taught how history af
fected everyday people.
BALI, Indonesia (AP) — Secre
tary of State George Shultz said
Thursday the Reagan administra
tion considers deposed Philippine
President Ferdinand Marcos a free
man entitled to call supporters in his
homeland and to move from the
United States if he wishes.
In blunt language exposing ten
sion between the administration and
the government of Marcos successor
Corazon Aquino, Shultz also said
“we don’t have infinite capacity to
provide money” to Manila.
He said that Philippine Vice Presi
dent Salvador Laurel, in a meeting
with President Reagan, was told the
administration believes the courts —
not the U.S. government’s executive
branch — must resolve claims by the
Aquino government that Marcos
stole billions in money and other
valuables belonging to the Filipinos.
Asked whether Reagan had pro
vided to Laurel sufficient assurances
of U.S. support for the Aquino gov
ernment, Shultz snapped to report
ers, “You will have to ask Mr. Laurel
if he is satisfied. Let me remind you
the president is not on trial here.”
In his last full day on this tropical
island before heading on to Tokyo
and the seven-nation international
economic summit, Reagan met with
Laurel, conferred separately will
