Like thousands -of other young women, Mary Elizabeth Clarke joined the fledgW -ing Women's Army Corps because there was a war to be won, not to find a career.

But the young private found the longer she. served in the Army the more her respect for that organisation grew. And Friday, eight presidents and 38 years later, Mary Clarke found herself retiring as a major general the highest ranking woman with the longest term of duty ever to serve in the U.S.-Army. Thert were ceremonies at Fort Mc Clellan on Friday, marked by speeches, -tributes and the presentation to Clarke of the distinguished service medal, the highest decoration for peacetime service.

APr- Columbia, that magnificent flying machine of April, is poised for JaUnching second I time on a vital test of iwhat the space i shuttle is all about: Can jt fly again? Never has a spaceshipl made a return trip to orbit. If Columblia achieves that milestone, America will well on its way to a momentoui new era of making space, wort for The Journey, scheduled to last five days, is to start from launch pad 39A at 7:30 a.m. EST Wednesday. At the controls will be two astronauts who havewalted patiently through years of training and frustration to make their frst space THE COMMANDER, 4lr Force Col. Joe Engle, 49, has been an ustronaut for 15 for potential deep water fishing grounds.

The shuttle will fly upside down, relative to Earth, most' of the flight so the experiments will be directed toward the globe. TRULY SAID that while the mission is oriented toward the ship's capabilities, the primary goal remains the demonstration of a successful launch, reentry and landing. "We are still in the front end of a very complicated flight test program," he said. "Ourmission rules are very conservative. If we" have a failure and our rules tell us we have to come home early, we will do -that.

In that case I would call it a successful flight If we get the spacecraft (Please see Shuttle, Page 14A) geoiogisi i ww narnson scnmiu. The co-pilot, Navy Capt. Richard Truly, 43, has been Tn the, corps 16 years, and once had bis dream deferred when the Air Force canceled its man-in-space program in 1969. "It's been a long time coining," said Truly. "And what do we get a used spaceship," quipped Engle.

"But because it is used, that makes our Job much more important," the commander added. "The first flight proved that the shuttle can be flown back through the atmosphere to a controlled, aircraft-like landing pn a runway. We're going to establish that it is indeed a reusable vehicle." Columbia and its three successors, trips into Space. "WE'LL POINT Columbia In that direction," Engle aaid. The flight Is the second of four shakedown tests leading to the shuttle's first satellite-carrying -operational mission next September or October.

Engle and Truly plan to exercise the vehicle' many systems much more vigorously than John Young and Robert Crip-pen did in April And they'll devote several hours to the testing of a 50-foot median-. ical arm to be used in the future to deploy and retrieve satellites.
