THURSDAY, JULY WW PAGE 8- THE INDIANAPOLIS STAR P.XMC SETS Whole World Aware Of Skylab, And That U.S. Is Responsible New Delhi accused the United States rC putting Skylab in an orbit that may provej rtaneerous to developing nations Most of the time Skylab's path will be over ocean, increasing the chances that debris will fall harmlessly into the sea. If Skylab appears likely to fall on densely populated countries, its course might be manipulated a bit to aim it over less populated areas, even if that means toward the United States. break up or just what parts of Earth will be under its shower of debris. ON TUESDAY, the latest estimate from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration was that Skylab will fall sometime between July 10 and July 14, with a 50 percent chance of re-entry by July 12.

Against that background of uncertainty, the Indian newspaper Express questioned Tuesday how readily the United Statps will nav for anv Skvlab damage. a charge flatly denied by Dr. Thoma. Vrebalovich, scientific affairs counsellor at the U.S. Embassy.

And Philippine columnist Jose N. fer--mill of the Courier, in Dagupan 4y north of Manila, was offering as sotej the thoughts that anyone killed by debris will become a space-age hero -and will rate "huge dollar indemnities" due to a glut of disaster movies and too much faith in modern technology and told readers which was the deepest subway station, if they want to hide. Australia was not immune from Skylab jitters either. Hundreds of people in Sydney grew anxious Tuesday when a bright object crossed the sky not Skylab. as it turned out.

Electronics millionaire Dick Smith said he had taken out insurance worth $2 9 million against Skylab debris hitting one of his ten stores Public fear was at a minimum in Europe for example, in France, in TMI ttSOCIT(0 P.flt As the world waits for Skylab to fall, panic has struck parts of India, the president of the Philippines has taken to nationwide television to urge calm and the Swiss are looking to their church bells as an alpine early warning system.

But the Swiss were preparing nonetheless. FOR SKYLABS final hours, the Swiss will keep civil protection services on alert and are asking radio stations to remain on the air with reports around the clock. If there is any indication in the final hours that Skylab might, indeed, crash in Switzerland, the nation's churches will be asked to alert the population by tolling all bells. In the Philippines, fear has been so bad that President Ferdinand Marcos went on national television and radio Saturday to allay it. A Manila newspaper had quoted an amateur astronomer as giving Skylab one chance in 200 of hitting the Philippines.

Some local soothsayers gave that possibility a better-than-even chance, compounding the anxiety. Marcos told his people there was no cause for alarm, that American officials assured him if Skylab seemed about to descend over a populated area, they could control it long enough to move it.

Keputed Terrorists Given 7-Vcar Terms Rome (AP) Two reputed members of the Red Brigades terrorist gang, a man and a woman, were sentenced to seven-year prison terms Wednesday for illegal possession of weapons.

They had been sought for more than a year, and police said they would continue their investigation of the two to see if they could be linked to acts of terrorism. cuiated that was not explained. In South Africa, the Rand Daily Mail took note in an editorial of the slim chance which American officials give Skylab of hitting anything important.

But it also observed grimly that if anyone is killed, it will severely tarnish the American space program's good name "SOMEONE SHOULD have foreseen this potential disaster before they sent the darned thing up," the newspaper said.
