2 Cosmonauts Return From Spacelab Visit MOSCOW (UPI) Smiling and excited after eight days in orbit a Russian-Hungarian team left two fellow cosmonauts behind in the Salyut 6 spacelab and came to Earth in a borrowed rocket Tuesday. The Tass news agency said Soviet cosmonaut Valery Kubasov and Barta-lan Farkas, Hungary's first spaceman, made a soft landing in the Soviet republic of Kazakhstan, 86 miles southeast of the city of Djezkazgan. Tass said they both feel fine. The two cosmonauts were launched into space May 26 aboard Soyuz 36, but came back aboard Soyuz 35, leaving the newer, fresher model for their space colleagues Valery Ryumin and Leonid Popov. The two still aboard the station have been in space for 54 days in what appears to be an attempt to set a space endurance record.

Interviewed on Soviet television shortly after landing, the two returned cosmonauts said Ryumin and Popov were in good condition, despite their two-month stay in space. Bartalan, the 30-year-old Hungarian -space rookie, beamed as he described his eight days aboard the space station. "I hated having to go to sleep because there were so many thrilling and exciting things to see and experience," he said. A major feature of the Salyut 6 endurance flights has been frequent visits by other cosmonaut teams bringing supplies, mail, food and companionship. Tass said last week the cosmonauts were studying the effect of weightlessness on the production by the human body of interferon, a protein that may have cancer-fighting properties.

Mrs. Showalter Fails In Unusual Legal Bid NEW LONDON Lucille Showalter has lost an unusual legal bid to obtain transcripts of a secret grand jury investigation that names a probable driver in her son's 1973 hit-and-run death.

Her lawyer, Averum J. Sprecher, said Tuesday his motion for the transcripts was denied by Superior Court Judge Daniel F. Spallone. Sprecher said a week ago that he believes Mrs. Showalter's request was the first in the state for secret transcripts by a person who has filed a related civil suit Spallone, who rejected the motion in a letter, gave no reason.

Mrs. Showalter has an anonymous $600,000 lawsuit filed against whoever struck and killed her son here on Christmas Eve 1973. Sprecher has said he hoped the transcripts could help him in preparing the suit Sprecher, however, has stopped short of saying he would name Harvey N. Mallove, a former mayor and a promi-. nent businessman here, in the suit Superior Court Judge Joseph F.

Dan-nehy, who was the one-man grand jury in the Showalter investigation, said in a public report released in February 1978 that it is more probable than not" that Mallove was at the wheel of the hit-and-run vehicle. Mallove, however, has emphatically denied involvement in the case and has never been charged in connection with the death. Jilted Boyfriend Charged in Assault EAST HADDAM A 69-year-old woman fell and received a serious head injury Monday as she tried to intervene in a struggle between her granddaughter and the granddaughter's ex-boyfriend, state police said. Timothy Schleidt 22, of Rock Landing Road, East Hampton, was struggling with his girlfriend, Debbra Mar-san, over her car key at her Great Hill Road Home when 69-year-old Kather-ine Ritchter and Ms. Marsan's mother, Marian Marsan, came to her aid, state police said.

Mrs. Ritchter, who shares the same address with her daughter and granddaughter, fell and hit her head, police said.

FDA Recalls 75,000 Cases Of Mushrooms The Food and Drug Administration Tuesday recalled at least 75,000 cases of institution-sized cans of mushrooms, including about 700 cases in Connecticut, which the federal agency said could cause deadly botulism.

The 4-pound-4-ounce cans of mushrooms were produced by Emil Lerch Hatfield, beginning in February 1977. They were sold under 12 different brand names, including Elizabeth Park, distributed by S. Vogel Sons of East Hartford, and Mijla Special, distributed by Aljim Wholesale Grocery Co. of Waterbury. The recall is an expansion of one originally announced Saturday, which involved only one day's production from Emil Lerch.

The FDA said Tuesday that lab tests found other production lots were contaminated with botulin, the toxin which can cause sometimes fatal food poisoning. No deaths or serious illness have been reported. Josephine Wallack, manager of S. Vogel Sons, said FDA inspectors Tuesday halted the sale of about 400 cases of the possibly contaminated mushrooms now in stock at the East Hartford company. Each case contains six cans.

Ms. Wallack said hundreds of cases, have been distributed during the last, two years to hospitals, insurance companies, schools and country clubs in the area. There have been no reports of food poisoning, she said. Marc Schaffer, president of Aljim Wholesale Grocery said he has about 274 cases of the affected product in bis warehouse. He said the Water-bury company is trying to recall six cases that recently were distributed to restaurants in his area.

The FDA said in Washington, D.C., that consumers and institutions should examine their stocks of No. 10 mushrooms and return any of the affected brands to the place of purchase. The mushrooms were distributed in Connecticut, Delaware, Florida, Georgia, Illinois, Kentucky, Maryland, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New York, North Carolina, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, Tennessee, Virginia, West Virginia and Wis-, consin. The agency said the letters "El" indicating the manufacturer appears as two of four digits on the top line of a two-line code stamped on the end of each can. The FDA said it is testing other sized cans of mushrooms produced by the firm and if the same poison is found it will discuss the need to further expand the recall.

"Other sized cans of mushrooms produced by the same company were processed differently from the No. 10 cans," the FDA said. The agency said it had no exact figure on total production since February 1977, but the recall covers at least 75,000 cases of six cans each, turned out since last October.
