10A ST. LOUIS POST-DISPATCH Feb. 17, 1986 Towns From page one Seeking Merger 5- :1 I I 1 MISSOURI Pttaiw City SI l3B I Marble Hill jLutesville. CA Gtiafiea hyphenated name. The question would go on the ballot Aug.

5. "We're both in good shape and darned proud of it," said Mayor Adrian Shell of Lutesville. "I want to get these two towns together and look toward the future." The towns are about 30 miles west of Cape Girardeau. They are separated only by Crooked Creek, a stream known for its occasional bursts of flooding in heavy rain. Marble Hill is the county seat and the smaller of the two.

It has a population of 601; Lutesville's population is 865. Some residents worry that even if both names remain on the map, the smaller Marble Hill would suffer a loss of its identity. "I think most of the people feel that way," said Pauline Clubb of Marble Hill, a member of the commission. But Clubb believes that the merger is a good idea. "I wouldn't have worked twice on this committee if I didn't," she said.

Last fall, voters in Marble Hill voted 209-4 to consolidate the two towns under their name. But in Lutesville, the vote was 97-93 against. Both needed to produce majorities. Squabbles and divisions plagued the second consolidation commission until last Thursday's successful compromise. "We've come near to getting federal grants and industry.

This, really pleases me," said Georgia Sitzes of Lutesville, who has been on both commissions. Commission members have said a merger would make the area more attractive to industries. International Hat the area's largest employer, employs about 135 people in its plant in Lutesville. Both communities also benefit from an industrial park in Lutesville, an airstrip in Marble Hill and a regional park in Lutesville. AP on the right solid-fuel rocket booster.

They range in time from the first instant of solid rocket ignition through the explosion that destroyed the shuttle Jan. 28, 74 seconds after blastoff, killing the seven astronauts aboard. The first sign of what NASA calls a "well-defined intense plume" on the side of the booster can be seen just above the clamp ring that held the aft end of the booster to the external fuel tank. The joint connecting the lower two fuel segments also is just above that clamp. CAPE CANAVERAL, Fia.

(UPI) A series of 16 pictures released by NASA strongly indicates that the Challenger's right-hand booster rocket ruptured at a joint connecting the lower two fuel segments. The photographs add to the evidence suggesting that two rubber O-ring seals in the joint were unable to contain hot gas and flame from the burning propellant inside. The National Aeronautics and Space Administration released Notice of Parens Patriae and Class Action TO: agerial focal point within NASA." The general manager position was established by James Beggs, who went on unpaid leave in December to fight federal charges unrelated to the space agency. NASA sources said the position had been established because Graham had joined the agency only a month earlier and was not yet familiar with all the agency's operations. Graham said last week that he had become aware of problems with booster rocket's seals four days after the Challenger explosion.

The presidential commission's investigation has focused to a large extent on the booster's seals, and the fact that Challenger was launched in 38 degree weather when no previous shuttle had taken off in temperatures below 51 degrees.

PEPL has appealed the ruling denying its Motion to Dismiss to the Seventh Circuit Court of Appeals and that appeal From page one tive to remove key project officials from the agency's own inquiry. Former secretary of state William P. Rogers, chairman of the presidential commission investigating the accident, asked acting NASA administrator William Graham to bar from the agency's own inquiry any officials involved in the decision to launch Challenger on Jan. 28. This request was made Saturday, a commission spokesman said, because the commission's investigation has found that the decision-making process "may have been flawed." A source close to the commission said Rogers had made the request because the commissioners wanted NASA's investigators to avoid any conflict of interest or appearance of one.

NASA's internal investigation into the accident has been led by Jesse Moore, the associate administrator in charge of the shuttle program and the person with ultimate responsibility for the decision to launch Challenger. Other members of the NASA panel included managers involved in clearing the ship for flight. "It's very clear from the commissioners' viewpoint that they (NASA officials) ought to reconsider that initial setup," said the source, who asked not to be identified. "People shouldn't be put into the very difficult position of having to run an investigation which ultimately may challenge the decisions they made." NASA spokesman David Garrett said Sunday that Graham was reviewing the matter over the long holiday weekend, determining what actions NASA should take. "We will do whatever they want us to do," Garrett said.

"We just don't know exactly what it is they want us to do." Rogers, vice chairman Neil Armstrong and Moore are scheduled to testify at a Senate subcommittee hearing Tuesday afternoon that is expected to address some of the panel's concerns. Armstrong is a former astronaut and the first man to walk on the moon. Graham had already acted to "streamline" the agency's decisionmaking procedures when Rogers issued his request to change the makeup of the internal NASA panel. Graham removed general manager Philip Culbertson from his role as day-to-day overseer of agency business and directed that senior managers report directly to the acting administrator. "A two-tiered senior management structure was proving too cumbersome and slow in the new environment," NASA said in a statement.

The "new environment" referred to the aftermath of the explosion that destroyed Challenger. NASA said the management changes would provide "a clear man- 2 Children Found Dead; Sitter Jailed ELK CITY, Okla. (AP) A 16-year-old high school student has been jailed after two children for whom he was baby-sitting were found shot to death. Authorities refused to identify the youth because of his age. He was in the Beckham County Jail on Sunday facing two complaints of first-degree murder, sheriffs Lt.

Perry Owens said. The youth also faces three complaints of attempted murder but has yet to be formally charged. Killed were 4-year-old Ryan Hens-ley and his 2-year-old sister, Crysta. The suspect is alleged to have shot his own father, too, but he survived. The suspect lives down the street from the Hensley family and had baby-sat for them before.

The teen-ager's father was in satisfactory condition at an Elk City hospital after surgery Authorities say the teen-ager also pointed a gun at the children's parents, Monnie and Edwina Hensley, when the couple returned home early Saturday from a Valentine's Day dinner and a calf-roping event ill pending.
