CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. (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.
Thursday’s crew-escape test will last,
three hours as the seven astronauts andd;
of fire and rescue workers run through evt
pet t of emergency pad operations.
During the exercise, a launch emergent
lie declared and some of the astronauts w|

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.

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.

PORT ELIZABETH, South Af
rica (AP) — Police used dogs and
rubber whips to disperse strikers
outside the General Motors plant
Monday, and the company said
those who stay off the job will be
fired.
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.

Bob White, the GM managing di
