In a reference to that, the Su preme Soviet statement said local elections scheduled for spring should he moved up to foster a “cleansing of the government ratus of unqualified and incapa ] workers.reduction of the bu reaucracy and “liquidation of unde served privileges." Cxirbachev nas said the (aimmu- nist Pany and government txxlies need reorganization to remove peo ple hlexking reform.

Space shuttle launch awaits valve check CAPE CANAVERAL. Fla (AP) — Engineers looked for the cause of a valve problem Tuesday on the space shuttle Columbia, while man agers met to select a date in August to launch the orbiter on a secret mili- mttston. date the managers finally choose Wednesday will depend on whether the valve has to be replaced, a procedure that could take two or three days. The space agency reported earlier that liftoff most likelv will occur the week of Aug. 7. Bill Lenoir. NASA's acting asso ciate administrator for space flight, headed the group assessing the readiness of Columbia, its booster rockets, the worldwide tracking net work and other elements needed to support a launch. The valve problem was detected early Monday following a brief test firing of C-olumbia's three auxiliary power units, which provide hy draulic power for moveable control surfaces such as wing flaps, rudder and speed brake. Radio data indicated one of two hydrazine fuel valves leading to one of the units was Muck open when it should have been closed But engineers said the trouble might be with a sensor giving a false reading, and they began a series of lengthv checks to determine exactlv what was wrong. The valve itself cannot he inspected unless some hardware is removed to gam access, something NASA doesn't want to do unless a replacement is necessary.

David Goerlitz. who poftraved a member of a search-and-rescue team in a long-running ad cam paign. said he considers himself “an accessory- to the systematic poisoning of our society.” “I have hajikchildren tell me that they smoked Winstons so that thes could be just like me." (ioerlitz told the House Energy and U-ommercr subcommittee on transportation and hazardous materials “For that I shall always feel guilty.” Cioeriitz desenoed himself as a 25- C ar, three-pack-a-dav smoker who rked the nabit in November and now speaks out against smoking for the American Cancer Society.

Charles Whitley, spokesman for egu tnj lation "rests on the false premise that cigarette advertising is responsible for smoking by young ueople and that young people woula not begin smoking if ngarettr advertising were banned " “We are convinced that the mea sure would do nothing to reduce smoking among voung people," Whitley testified Beijing students protest government actions BEIJING (AP) — Hundreds of students upset by the government crackdown gathered this week to hang pots and sing mocking songs, participants said, in what ap peared to he the first demonstration since the June 3-4 killings.
