Space shuttle
Discovery
gets it right
on fourth try
The Associated Press
CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. - On its
fourth try. Discovery roared away on a
satellite-delivery mission Sunday with five
astronauts jubilant to be in space at last.
''Hey Houston, I gotta tell ya, you've
never seen five happier guys up here,"
commander Frank Culbertson Jr. told
Mission Control. "It's been a long time
coming."
Culbertson and his crew quickly be
gan preparing for their first major job in
orbit — releasing an experimental com
munications satellite.
The Advanced Communications Tech
nology Satellite was to be ejected from
Discovery eight hours into the flight.
An attached rocket was to propel the
satellite from Discovery's 184-mile-high
orbit to an altitude of 22,300 miles.
Discovery's flight had been delayed
five times since mid-July for equipment
failures, payload concerns and even a
meteor shower.
Two of the three earlier countdowns
had been halted in the final 19 seconds.
This time — countdown No. 4 —
everything worked and Discovery rose
promptly at 7:45 a.m. from its seaside
launch pad.
Two engine pump sensors failed on
the way up, but that posed no problem
since Identical sensors worked fine, said
launch director Bob Sieck.
If one of those sensors had failed pri
or to launch, however, it would have
meant another aborted launch.
A broken fuel-flow sensor caused last
month's engine shutdown three seconds
before liftoff.
It is NASA's 57th shuttle mission and
the fifth this year.
Besides deploying the communica
tions satellite and an ultraviolet tele
scope, the crew is to conduct a space-
walk to test tools needed for the Hubble
Space Telescope repair mission in De
cember. Five and possibly seven space-
walks are planned for the telescope re
pair mission.

The Associated Press
MEMPHIS, Tenn. - It would
be hard to find another American
city where skin color plays a big
ger political role, or one where its
first elected black mayor is
putting voters' racial beliefs to a
bigger test.
Less than two years after
blacks first passed whites in voter
registrations in Memphis, Mayor
W.W. Herenton is on a course that
could shift the city back to majori
ty white.
Friend and foe alike are con
cerned.
Herenton wants to merge his
predominantly black city with
the well-to-do, mostly white sub
urbs that make up the rest of
Shelby County. Without such a
move, he says, the strains of a
limited tax base could one day
turn Memphis into a poor, black
enclave surrounded by rich,
white suburbs.
Herenton wants to consolidate
the city and county govern
ments, which now have separate
mayors, law-making boards, bu
reaucracies, schools and tax
structures.
Suburban residents have long
opposed consolidation. City voters
have supported it in the past. But
the shift in the city's racial makeup
has added a new wrinkle.
"I'm stunned," said John
Ford, a black state senator whose
family runs one of the city's most
active political organizations; his
brother is U.S. Rep. Harold Ford,
D-Tenn. "Who in the world is it
he's talked to that's told him to
think this way? ... You'd have to
be a plumb fool to think this up
on your own."
Herenton> 53, the city's first
black superintendent of schools
before becoming mayor, says
blacks gain little by controlling a
city that is broke.
Overall, Shelby County, which
includes Memphis, is 55 percent
white. The city, with 610,000 resi
dents, is 55 percent black. The
suburbs, with 216,000 residents,
are mostly white, but specific per
centages are not available.
Memphis schools are 80 per
cent black, the suburban schools
80 percent white.
Blacks outnumbered whites in
registered voters for the first time
in 1991, the year Herenton was
elected by a margin of 142 votes
out of the 247,973 cast.
He got 99 percent of the black
vote, while his white opponent,
former mayor Richard Hacked,
got 97 percent of the white vote.
The same election raised the
number of blacks on the 13-mem
ber City Council from three to six
and on the nine-member city
school board from three to five.
Police to patrol Corsicana school campuses
The Associated Press
CORSICANA — Corsicana
School District officials have de
cided to increase security at all
district campuses following a
brawl at an elementary school
that police say was racially moti
vated.
"I think the most important
thing to let people know is that

we are not going to put up with
any misbehavior on our campus
es," said Corsicana school super
intendent Jim Dickson.
In addition, school administra
tors at a meeting Saturday agreed
to take a "zero tolerance" position
toward violence such as that
which occurred last week.
Dickson said the action was tak
en to "ensure a safe environment
for the education of all our young
people on every district campus."
One teacher and four police of
ficers — including Corsicana Po
lice Chief G.M. Cox — were in
jured in Thursday's melee that in
terrupted an open house at Lin
coln Elementary School.
Witnesses said that 15 to 20
young black men had shouted,
"No peace, no justice" as they ran
through the elementary school's
halls, then fought with police who
tried to apprehend them.
Police say they believe the inci
dent was planned and racially
motivated.
The confrontation at Lincoln
was preceded Thursday by a
problem at Collins Middle School.
The principal, attempting to break
up a fight between a black student
and a white student, was struck
by a Student.
Officials said they did not
know whether there was a con
nection between the incidents.
Tension in the city about 60
miles southeast of Dallas has been
high since a black man died while
in white police officers' custody
on June 5. Two officers who had
been fired for their involvement
in the arrest of 29-year-old Craig
Thomas were reinstated and re
turned to work Tuesday.
Police-Fiffi'cers will begin pa
trolling school campuses Monday,
said Corsicana police Sgt. Ladena
Baggett. The Corsicana Police De
partment and the Navarro County
Sheriff's Department both have
agreed to provide law enforce
ment officers on every district
campus, Dickson said.
Dickson said he has encour
aged school personnel to "use
whatever force is reasonably nec
essary to protect themselves, the
students and school property"
should other incidents occur.
He also re-enforced the dis
trict's discipline policy, emphasiz
ing that any violations would re
sult in swift disciplinary action.
