Challenger:
Shuttle crew completes 2nd of two deliveries
By HARRY F. ROSENTHAL
Associated Press Writer
CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. -
Four alumni of the astronaut class
of '7B and one “steely-eyed
veteran” completed the second of
two satellite deliveries yesterday
and turned their attention to
scientific and medical experiments
aboard space shuttle Flight Seven.
In the technocratic jargon of
space, the chief flight director
boasted: “We have absolutely no
anomalies.” _ -
Sally Ride and her four male
companions were in a happy mood
after releasing a $37.5 million
satellite that will provide television
and telephone communication for
Indonesia and some of its 15,677
islands. NASA was paid $ll million
for the delivery. -
At the end of the day, the five
astronauts and Mission Control did
a comic routine straight out of the
old television series “The
Waltons,” passing out "good
nights” to one another, including
“Good night, John-Boy.” It wound
up with astronaut John Fabian
sending a good night wish, to his
wife, Donna; a disguised voice
using Jimmy Durante’s shtick of
"Good night, Mrs. Calabash,
wherever you are,” and Sally Ride
asking “Who was that masked
man?” straight out of the Lone
Ranger.
These exchanges were followed
by the recorded sound of crickets
chirping.
the
daily
“Everything was great today,”
said flight director Tommy
Holloway in Houston. “We’re just
perking along.”
.From their radio station 184
miles high, the astronauts beamed
down a popular Billy Joel tune
“She’s Always a Woman to Me”
perhaps to even things for Ride who
was the only one not to receive
Father’s Day greetings from the
ground for the “dads on board.”
The men on the flight have 10
children among them. Ride is
matried to astronaut Steven
Hawley, and has no children.
The shuttle crew did some
sightseeing as the ship passed over
central Mexico. “It sure is clear,”
said Ride, the first American
woman to enjoy such a perspective.
Mission control asked if
Challenger’s supply of film will last
until the ship returns to Cape
Canaveral Friday at 6:53 a.m.
EDT. “Not a chance,” said the 32-
year-old astrophysicist. “I think
we’ll use it up (today).”
The astronauts also modeled for
the television cameras. Ride, Rick
Hauck, Fabian and Dr. Norman
Thagard all were wearing blue T
shirts depicting the shuttle and the
letters TFNG, along with the slogan
"We Deliver.”
Mission Control explained the
initials stand for “thirty-five new
guys,” a reference to the astronaut
class formed in 1978. The 1978 group
.was the first astronauts chosen
specifically to fly the shuttle craft.

the threshold of discord.”
He said he spoke “to those who suffered and
cause suffering. My words are clumsy because I
can’t talk about them loudly. I am a son of this
nation. Therefore, I feel very deeply about its
aspirations of justice and social solidarity.”
It was his second call for calm since arriving in
this troubled land. Near the end of an open-air
Mass in Warsaw Friday, he took the microphone
to say he hoped Poles would behave “calmly
wherever the pilgrim pope goes.”
There was no text of yesterday evening’s
address, and officials said there would be none
until this morning indicating a substantial
alteration at the last minute.
It was the most religious day of the pontiff’s
Polish visit. But at the morning Mass he
continued the political tone of his first days’
remarks, which criticized the regime and called
for restoration of the independent labor
movement born in the heady summer of 1980 and
squelched under martial law.
Many feel the pope’s first return home in 1979
inspired the summer of discontent that swept
Poland the following year
In his homily honoring the shrine’s 600th year,
the pope said, “Freedom is given to man by God
as a measure of his dignity. At the same time,
however, it is given to him as a task. In fact,
people can use freedom well or badly. Through it
they can build or destroy.”
The pontiff traced Poland’s troubled past, in
which Roman Catholicism has been entwined
with opposition to political oppression, both
foreign and domestic.
“The painful experiences of history have
sharpened our sensitivity in the field of
fundamental rights of man and of the nation,
particularly the right to freedom, to be
sovereign, to have freedom of conscience and
religion and the right to human work respected,”
he said.
Today, John Paul will begin a potentially
difficult leg of his visit that will take him to three
strongholds of discontented workers.
Lock Haven residents get •>
reassurance from Corman
By S.A. MILLER
Collegian Staff Writer
All is not lost in Lock Haven.
Lock Haven citizens who may
have been affected by toxic
chemicals from the Drake
Chemical Co. didn’t get the
preliminary health screenings
they had hoped for. Instead, they
received reassurance from state
Sen. J. Doyle Corman that the
State Department of Health will
continue to study whether the need
for such screenings exists.
Several weeks ago, state Rep.
Russell Letterman, D-Centre
County, proposed a $120,000
amendment to an $B2 million
deficiency spending bill to begin
the preliminary health screening
of 2,000 former employees and
nearby residents of Drake.
The amendment passed the
state House and Senate easily, but
before Gov. Richard Thornburgh
approved the bill, he deleted the
amendment without consulting
either Letterman or Corman, R-
Centre County, who guided the
amendment through the Senate.
Thornburgh gave three reasons
for “blue-lining” the amendment:
the lack of evidence that dioxin
exists at Lock Haven; the
possiblity that the Centers for
Disease Control would perform
the screening; and the fact that
the money would have to be spent
by June 30, thd end of the fiscal
year.
Lock Haven citizens are asking
for the health screenings to
determine whether a myriad of
health problems are the result of
exposure to toxic chemicals

other than dioxin manufactured
at the now-closed Drake plant.
Citizens complain of skin rashes,
respiratory ailments, high rates of
bladder cancer and birth defects.
Bladder cancer is linked to
contact with the chemical Beta
naphthylamine (BNA), which was
manufactured at the Drake site
from 1947 to 1962. The effects of
BNA surfaced about 15 years after
exposure.
In a May 5 letter to Letterman,
officials of the Centers for Disease
Control have already said they
would not perform the screenings
They reaffirmed that position at
an Environmental Protection
Agency public meeting in Lock
Haven on May 24.
The CDC letter was in response
to Letterman’s request that they
do the screenings as part of their
work in conjunction with the EPA
on Superfund sites.
In response to Thornburgh’s
statement that the money would
have to be spent by June 30,
Letterman'said he had already
begun spending the funds “15 days
