PORT ELIZABETH, South Af
rica (AP) — A three-week strike at
General Motors collapsed Tuesday
as workers streamed back after an
ultimatum to return or be fired.
The company said just 219 strik
ers failed to come back by the 9 a.m.
deadline announced Monday.
An additional 566 strikers were
fired early in the walkout for staging
a sit-in at the plant.
The 1,800 strikers made up most
of the main plant’s 2,200 hourly paid
workers. Production came to a vir
tual halt despite the efforts of GM’s
1,000 non-striking white-collar and
clerical workers.
GM said those dismissed for the
sit-in could reapply, except for strik
ers involved in violence. About 350
of the 566 already asked to return,
said Robert Mcllwaine, director of
industrial relations.
The GM strike began over worker
demands for money guarantees and
a say in the new local management
after the American parent company
decided to sell its South African op
eration. The sale resulted from de
pressed auto sales and pressure
from U.S. anti-apartheid groups to
pull out of South Africa.
On Monday, police used rubber
whips and dogs to break up a crowd
of about 350 strikers trying to block
others from going back to work. Six
teen strikers were arrested.
About one-third of the strikers
had drifted back to work by Mon
day. Facing the 9 a.m. ultimatum,
most workers streamed into the
plant Tuesday morning.
Freddie Sauls, general secretary
of the National Automobile and Al
lied Workers Union, said, “Defi
nitely, the strike has been effectively
broken.”
The union first said that it was a
wildcat strike, illegal and not sanc
tioned by the union, but Sauls later
said he endorsed worker demands.
GM said it would negotiate on de
mands only when the strike ended.
Port Elizabeth is the nation’s most
depressed city. It has been hard hit
by unrest in black townships and a
black consumer boycott of while
shops. Black unemployment is esti
mated at more than 50 percent.
Most of the skilled GM workers
are of mixed race and are plagued
by unemployment but are less orga
nized politically than the blacks.
Apartheid, by law and custom, es
tablishes a racially segregated society
in which the 24 million blacks have
no vote in national affairs. The 5
.million whites control the economy
and maintain separate districts,
schools and health services.

CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. (AP)
— Five astronauts boarded a space
shuttle Tuesday for the first time
since the Challenger disaster, but the
mock countdown aboard Atlantis
was halted 25 seconds short of the
simulated engine firing by problems
with computer software.
Several other troubles also
cropped up during the simulation
that might have halted a real launch.
But NASA spokesman Jim Ball
said officials considered the test suc
cessful because it accomplished its
main goal: maintaining launch team
sharpness during the long flightless
period following the Challenger ex
plosion.
The Atlantis simulation was pri
marily a test of the launch crews and
not of the shuttle, Ball said. The sim
ulation met all of its objectives, he
said.
Robert Gibson, who commanded
the astronaut crew aboard Atlantis,
said the simulation was a good test.
He said it was “a real morale
booster for the launch team. The
fact that we had problems made it
more realistic.”
Gibson said it was “difficult to
look at the launch pad and the or-
biter without flashbacks (to the Chal
lenger accident).”
“I don’t think we’ll ever get over
it,” he said. “But I decided a long
time ago I’m going to fly again.”
Gibson volunteered his crew to
take the first trip when shuttle
flights resume.
The crew that boarded Atlantis on
Tuesday is the same one that flew
the last successful shuttle flight, that
of Columbia, which ended just 10
days before Challenger exploded
Jan. 28, killing the seven crew mem
bers.
The three remaining shuttles
have been grounded, and will re
main grounded for at least an addi
tional 15 months while engineers
redesign the faulty booster rocket
joint that caused the accident.
Most of Tuesday’s problems were
associated with workaround proce
dures developed because of the con
dition Atlantis is in, minus many of
its components. The software that
halted the count, for example, was
written specifically because tne three
main engines are missing and it
would not have been used during an
actual countdown. Ball said.

Average kid’s allowance is $3.34 per week
tire.
md
:ive
is h
first
NEW YORK (AP) — The average American
child gets an allowance of $3.34 a week, with 5-
year-olds starting at $1.40 and 16-year-olds tak
ing in a sweet $8.13, according to a survey of
families with working mothers.
Nine out of 10 parents give their children al
lowances, and 70 percent of them expect some
thing like a clean room or a good report card in
return, Working Mother magazine reports in its
December issue.
But Blake Rosenthal, 10, of Fort Lee, N.J.,
groused, “I think I’m getting gypped.” She re
ceives $3 a week, 15 cents less than the national
average for those her age.
According to the survey, 65 percent of parents
who give allowances are happy with the way they
are spent; more than half impose no restrictions.
The survey also showed:
• Most kids started getting their allowance
when they were about 6'/2, and more than three-
quarters had one by age 8.
• Boys were asked to do more chores than
girls — and more often disappointed their par
ents with their performance. Boys got more than
girls to start, but at age 12 girls took the lead and
held it through the teen ages.
• Family income had relatively little bearing
on children’s allowances. “At each age level there
is rarely more than 50 cents to $1 difference be
tween what the poorest and richest households
allot,” the magazine reports.
But parents with lower incomes, the survey
found, expect more from their children.
Seventy-four percent of kids spent some or all
their money on toys. Other expenses forv /eai
allowances go include food (43 percents mb
times spend money for this), gifts (39 percc R
comics, magazines and books (3N percent) thin
ies, video games and records (34 percent),eke , \
and jewelry (3 1 percent), school suppliesfft,
cent) and savings (15 percent).
Only 4 percent bought candy, a substanc
which previous generations of children wert|
cused of squandering their allowances.
T he survey is based on 961 responses to(j:i
tionnaires placed in the July issue of Worl|
Mother. Seventy-three percent of thosewhej
sponded were married, 23 percent weresfj
rated or divorced, 3 percent never marriedattl
percent were widowed. Those surveyed!
