Madison 'Star Wars' mission NASA counts down CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. (AP) — NASA began another countdown for the space shuttle Discovery on Thursaay after re placing an engine sensor that railed during fueling for a launch attempt earlier this week. Tests on the new sensor indi cate it works well, NASA test di rector A1 Sofge said. "We're fairly certain it is the transducer (sensor) that was the problem," Sofge said. "We're very comfortable with that and looking forward to having no problem with that during the launch countdown." Discovery is scheduled to lift off on a military mission devoted to "Star Wars" research at 6:01 a.m. CDT Sunday. NASA was loading Discov ery's external fuel tank for a Tuesday liftoff when the sensor began showing impossibly li pressure readings for one of three main engines. Workers removed the sensoi and its attached electrical cables Wednesday. While inside the engine partment, workers also repaired minor helium leaks in a plate be tween the orbiter and external fuel tank. Unusually hi^li amounts of helium were tected in the compartment dur ing fueling late Monday and early Tuesday, Sofge said. He lium, an inert gas, is used purge the area. Sofge said the leaks all probably would not have laved liftoff. Pres. Salinas inaugurates subway system MONTERREY, Mexico (AP) — President Carlos Salinas de Gor- tari on Thursday inaugurated Monterrey's metropolitan rail system and an international business center touted as Latin America's largest.

"The government of Mexico will continue to support contin ued development in Nuevo Leon," Salinas told a gathering of about 900 businessmen. "You deserve it." Bush faces weak economy, tries to avoid world recession Labor Department reports surge in number of unemployment filings WASHINGTON (AP) — The Bush administration, confronted with further weakness in the U.S. economy, on Thursday pressed the case for reductions in American and foreign interest rates as a way of keeping the world out of a global recession. of 47,000 in the second week April. The sharp increase brought the number of first-time claim ants back to the half-million mark and was viewed as espe cially disappointing to econo mists who had hoped to see a The administration effort came as the Labor Department re ported a big surge in the number of Americans filing unemploy ment claims.
