"This is a public relations effort," said an angry Gov. Steve Cowper at a news conference in Juneau, the state capital. "Exxon is trying to give the state a black eye.

I suppose P.R. firms are telling Exxon what to say, but we're hearing the same false statements time and time again." On Capitol Hill and in press briefings, top Exxon officials have insisted they were prevented from moving quickly with chemical dispersants to break up the 10.9 million gallon spill by the Coast Guard and the stale Department of Environmental Conservation. In a reply letter to Cowper released by Exxon in New York, company chairman Lawrence Rawl noted there have been disputes over the need for testing the dispersants, their potential toxic aftermath, the amount on hand and the amount needed to deal with the oil spill. "It's regrettable that you have chosen to go public on this matter without first discusssing these questions directy with us," Rawl said. DEC said Exxon had authority to spray chemical dispersants after the Exxon Valdez ran aground March 24 but indicated at the time that dispersants would be ineffective and, when Exxon finally did use them, they didn't work.

Cowper, in a 2-page letter Friday to Exxon Chairman Lawrence Rawl, accused Exxon of "demonstrably false" statements in "systematic effort to mislead the public." "It's worth noting that Exxon never had sufficient quantities of dispersant on hand to treat a spill of this size," Cowper said, noting that use of dispersants on the spill was pre-approved. "Only after Exxon had trouble hitting the target and instead sprayed the tanker and Coast Guard personnel did the state decline to approve the use of chemicals in the most sensitive areas," Cowper said. Cowper told Rawl, "I urge you to repudiate the inaccurate statements you and other Exxon officials have made," and told reporters he was challenging Exxon to back up its accusations. "If there's no evidence, I'm going to accept it as a false tale." "The state and Exxon and Coast Guard have to work together," he said. "Statements like this have the potential to break up the partnership." Late Thursday in the fishing port of Cordova, where the salmon season is threatened by the spill, DEC Commissioner Dennis Kelso charged Exxon with a whitewash.

"Exxon has shown a disregard for the truth," Kelso told 300 cheering fishermen. "It has shown a systematic attempt to mislead Alaska and America. We're seeing nothing less than a systematic coverup. It is reprehensible to the highest degree." Ulysses LeGrange, Exxon Finance vice president, said litigation will sort out the truth. "In the end the truth will out in court," LeGrange said, his remarks greeted with catcalls and hissing.

Cordova fishermen urged the removal of the Exxon Valdez, still leaking oil emulsion into the Sound. It is currently undergoing repairs 30 miles from the original spill site. "That's a tremendously productive area of the sound," said Jerry McCune, president of the Cordova District Fishermen United. "Why risk leaving it there?" Vice Adm. Clyde Robbins, federal on-scene coordinator, said the ship couldn't be moved.

"Let's face it," he said, "Nobody wants it anywhere." Skimmers reported collecting 752 barrels Thursday and shoreline cleanup crews reported scouring 300 feet of blackened Smith Island. The giant Soviet skimmer Vaydagh- ursky, costing Exxon $15,000 daily, scooped up only 23 barrels before its suction unit clogged. In Washington, Defense Secretary Dick Cheney ordered the Navy dock landing ship USS Fort McHcnry to leave its homeport of San Diego Friday to head to Valdez to serve as a second floating hotel for workers. The 609-foot Fort McHenry, scheduled to arrive in the Valdez area May 5, has a normal crew complement of 340 and has the capacity to embark 500 people. In addition to providing communications, medical, housing, dining and sleeping facilities, the ship will serve as a base for small craft and helicopter operations, the Pentagon said.

Nation's capital Ottawa is the capital of Canada. Tyrone American Legion April 29th 5:00 p.m.-? Kitchen will be open for sandwiches Dogs Fries Atlantis Launch Has Hopefully Been Scheduled For Monday CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. (UPI) With less than a minute to go, a combination of glitches Friday forced NASA to postpone the shuttle Atlantis' launch until Monday at the earliest, delaying the crew's plans to fire a science probe to Venus. "It just wasn't our day," said launch director Robert Sieck, who added that getting Atlantis ready in time for a second launch try Monday "would be optimistic." The countdown for the year's second shuttle launch, running five minutes late because of trouble with a ground computer, was ticking smoothly toward zero when a problem with main engine No. 1 triggered an interruption a scant 31 seconds before the planned 2:29 p.m.

EDT blastoff. With countdown clocks at the Kennedy Space Center frozen on a technician radioed launch director Robert Sieck: "We're out of 'engine A few minutes later, NASA spokesman Hugh Harris said launch was delayed for the day. It was a frustrating disappointment for Atlantis commander David Walker, 44, co-pilot Ronald Grabc, 43, Mary Cleave, 42, Mark Lee, 36, and Norman Thagard, 45, who climbed out of the shuttle about an hour after the launch scrub, smiling and chatting with technicians. If Atlantis is cleared for a Monday launch try, liftoff would be scheduled for 2:07 p.m. EDT.

The launch opportunity would end 43 minutes later at 2:50 p.m. The weather outlook for Monday calls for increasing cloudiness, 'but right now, it certainly wouldn't be any cause for concern," Sieck said. The goal of the flight is the launch of the Magellan Venus radar mapping probe, the centerpiece of a long-awaited $530 million mission to explore Earth's planetary neighbor and leam more about its origin and evolution. 1 'We have waited a number of years for this flight and a few extra days won't matter," said Lennard Fisk, NASA's chief of space science. The countdown was stopped when a recirculation pump used to keep frigid hydrogen rocket fuel flowing through main engine No.

1 suddenly shut down with less than a minute to go before blastoff. Fuel flow through the engine prior to launch is needed to "condition" the powcrplant to ultra-low temperatures. "The purpose of that pump is to maintain the proper hydrogen conditions at the engine inlet to insure a safe start of the engine," Sieck said. "And that pump failed either due to an internal problem or a circuit problem. We're not sure (which) yet." Engineers later noted a vapor cloud around a 4-inch fuel line used to keep the shuttle's external hydrogen tank pressurized, indicating the presence of a "pinhole" leak that ultimately caused a seal to harmlessly rupture.

But the problem will have to be fixed. Sieck said NASA's mission management team, responsible for clearing the shuttle for launch, planned to meet again Sunday morning after engineers get a better idea about what it will take to correct both problems. "If the fix is a simple thing for both of these, we could maintain an opportunity to go on Monday afternoon," he said. "But that should be couched as a 'no-earlier-than' date." In a worst-case scenario, launch could be delayed to the middle of next week and 'obviously, the team is disappointed," Sieck said, but "we're confident we're going to find them and get on with this very important mission." Whenever Atlantis gets off the ground, the flight plan calls for Lee, working at the rear of the ship's crew cabin, to issue commands releasing the probe from the shuttle's cargo bay six hours and 18 minutes after liftoff. An hour after that, the probe's $45 million solid-fuel booster is scheduled to begin the 15-monlh voyage to Venus.

The four-day, 56-minutc mission is scheduled to end with a touchdown at Edwards Air Force Base, Calif. Magellan, constructed with spare parts left over from other planetary programs, was built by Martin Marietta Astronautics Group of Denver. It is named after the 16th century Portuguese explorer and was designed to map at least 90 percent of the surface of cloud-shrouded Venus. Radar data beamed back to Earth via Magellan's 12-foot dish antenna will be processed by computers to create photo-like images of Venus's surface, showing features as small as 350 fcci across, 10 times better than any previous images. Magellan also will be used to learn more about the planet's interior by precisely monitoring how the spacecraft's orbit is affected by the planet's gravity, which provides an indication of interior mass distribution.

The end result will be enough data to fill some 500,000 library books and keep researchers busy for years to come. Six Claimants Have Filed For Share Of Record State Lottery HARRISBURG, Pa. (UPI) The holders of six Super 7 tickets filed claims Friday for slices of the slate's 115.6 million lottery prize, including a New Jersey man who said he finally found out whal it's like lo have money lo burn. "I lit a cigarette with a dollar bill this morning," said Arthur Rosen, 50, of East Windsor, N.J., who accompanied his wife and iwo sons and daughter lo Middlclown, to turn in a ticket ihey believe enlitles them lo a share of the largesi jackpol in North American hislory. The Rosens' luck, however, didn't slop there.

They also claimed a third- place win with a lickel bearing five of ihe 11 numbers drawn Wednesday. Lotlery officials said ihey would nol know ihe value of prizes for lickets with six-number and five-number malches before closing their offices Friday. Since Thursday, ihe holders of eighl tickets have slaked claims lo the prize. Loilery Execuiive Direclor James Scroggins said a total of 14 grand prize tickets, those bearing seven of the 11 numbers drawn, were among Ihe 87.3 million lickets sold. Scroggins noicd none of ihe claims is a win until lotiery officials have run ihe lickets ihrough several checking procedures.

Verificalion of any of the claims is not expected to be compleled unlil nexl week, he said. Sylvia Trapuzzano, 35, a saleswoman from Washington, and Mary Jane Hicks, 74, a widow from Lebanon, Prime rate The prime rale is the interesl rale banks charge on loans lo iheir best customers. also submiiled tickels Friday thai, if verified, would each be worth a one- fourteenlh share of the pot. "This looks good," is what Hicks remembered telling her dog Thursday when she checked the 15 tickels she boughi againsl ihe lisl of numbers drawn Wednesday. For Trapuzzano, the prospect of winning $8.3 million before taxes over ihe next 26 years required time for refleclion.

"I've taken a day lo think about all of this," said Trapuzzano, who Thursday called her boss al Superior Valves Co. lo say she would not be in lo work. Trapuzzano was given the lickel by her falher, Ben, 59, who purchased five of ihe $1 Super 7 tickels for each of his four children and himself. Three lickeis shared by iwo or more people were also brought to lottery headquarters Friday. Two workers al General Eleciric Erie plani John White, 42, and Chuck Davis, 34 were ihe firsl Friday lo file their claims.

That claim was quickly followed by one filed jointly by three janitors at Wesi Virginia University in Morgan- lown, W. Va. They are Lionel Herndon, 40, John Gardner, 38, and James Evans, 40. Hemdon said he and his wife firsl reacled wilh fear. "We were afraid somebody mighl try to do something to us and we gol ihe kids out of ihe house," Hemdon said.

A claim was also filed by James Whillle, 59, and his wife, Linda, 53, of New Brighion, Pa. Scroggins said Thursday an unofficial review of ihe week's sales, coupled with weekly Super 7 prize rollovers since ihe lasl win March 8, had pumped ihe jackpol up lo $115,578,980.14. Each of the 14 grand prize tickets is worth $8,255,641.40, which breaks down to $317,524.67 per lickel each year before laxes for the next 26 years. The first claim was filed Thursday by 14 workers at the Harbison-Walker Refractory Co. in Windham, Ohio.

If the win is verified, each of the brick factory workers would receive about $22,680 before taxes of at least 20 percent A mother-son-daughler irio also made a claim Thursday. Stricier rules for verifying winning lickeis were adopted after two men conspired a year ago to defraud the lottery of a $15.3 million jackpot. A New Jersey couple claimed ihe prize hours before il was lo expire July 15, 1988. The frenzied buying of some 87.3 million tickets, which began when no one claimed last week's $42 million prize, ended at 7:02 p.m. Wednesday when 11 numbered ping pong balls dropped from a revolving transparent globe: 06,16,24,34,35,37,40,41,45, 60, and 71.

Because the jackpot will be split al leasl 14 ways, Sheelah Ryan relains her title as the winner of North American's largest single prize. Ryan won a $55.1 million Florida lottery prize in September.
