(AP) — Astronauts will board a space shuttle today for the first time since the Challenger accident for a practice countdown that will help launch teams maintain proficiency during a long flightless period. Five veteran space travelers will settle into the cabin of Atlantis, perched on launch pad 39B, for the final, two hours of a rehearsal that will end with simulated ignition of the main engines. The countdown started on time at 7:40 p.m. On Thursday, a team of seven rookie astro nauts will board Atlantis to participate in an emergency crew escape exercise. The drills will conclude seven weeks of launch pad tests for Atlantis, which will be moved back to a hangar on Saturday. The exercises mark the last chance that astro nauts and launch teams will have to sharpen their skills with a shuttle on the pad until Discovery is rolled out of storage to be readied for the next shuttle launch, now set for Feb. 18, 1988. The three remaining shuttles have been grounded since Challenger exploded 73 seconds after liftoff last Jan. 28, killing the crew of seven. A faulty joint between segments of a solid f uel booster rocket that caused the accident is being redesigned. The tests provide “a chance for a morale boost right in the center of this letdown, and there has been a letdown,” said Conrad Nagel, NASA di rector of shuttle flow operations. T he five astronauts who board Atlantis today will be the same ones who flew tfie last successful shuttle mission, that of Columbia, which ended just 10 days before the Challenger tragedy. They are commander Charles Gibson, pilot Charles Bolden and mission specialists George Nelson, Steven Hawley and Franklin Chang- Diaz. Two non-astronauts who flew on that flight. Rep. Bill Nelson, D-Fla., and RCAenginm ert Cenker, will not take part. The countdown will involve teams a: launch control center here and at missiont at the Johnson Space Center in Houston.

Immigration law hasn’t produced firings feared by Hispanic groups WASHINGTON (AP) — His panic groups fear that the new im migration law could lead to wide spread firings of workers with Spanish accents, but a random sur vey finds little evidence that large numbers of Hispanics are losing their jobs. Amin David, president of a His panic rights group, Los Amigos of Orange County, Calif., said, “There are definitely rumblings in (His panic) neighborhoods” about job losses. vidual — regardless of the documents that person can provide. But while reports of firings haven’t gone beyond the rumor stage, David predicted employer sanctions will harm the Latino com munity “because skin color will de termine the employability of an indi- Even before President Reagan signed the bill to overhaul the immi gration laws — and make it a crime to hire an illegal alien — there were some indications in Houston and Dallas that employers might move to fire Latino workers who may fall into that category. Trying to access the extent of the problem, the Associated Press sur veyed selected cities. It found that while confusion reigns, job losses have been held in check as Hispanic organizations worked hard to ex plain the bill’s employer sanctions provisions. The immigration bill has two cor nerstones: amnesty for illegal aliens who arrived before 1982 and lived in this country continously since then and penalties against employers who knowingly hire illegal aliens. For the next six months, the Im migration and Naturalization Serv ice is to conduct a public information campaign on the sanctions program, during which no enforcement ac tions can be taken. After the six months, a one-year period would follow in which first offenders would only receive warn ings. But the full effect of the pro gram would allow civil fines ranging up to $10,()()() per illegal alien and a criminal penally of six years in prison. Most importantly, the law only ap plies to new hires, not those working before the bill became law.

The automaker gave strikers a deadline of 9 a.m. Tuesday to return to work. The walkout began Oct. 29 in this depressed industrial city on the Indian Ocean, where GM is the largest employer. Sixteen workers were arrested during the clash with police at the plant gate and released on bail of 100 rand ($45) each without formal charges, their union said. Police said about 300 strikers were intimidating workers who wanted to go to their jobs inside the plant. Employees struck over demands for compensation from the Ameri can parent company after General Motors announced plans to sell its South African operation to local management. nom Bob White, the GM managing di rector, said about one-third of the 2,000 strikers returned to work Monday and the company also would consider rehiring most of the 567 fired for holding a pfcfcci two weeks ago. t() lion.
