the earth was one "never to be repeated." The Czechoslova-kian pilot was the star of the program transmitted to earth from the Soviet Union's orbiting Salyut 6 space station Sun-day. Remek and Soviet flight commander Alexei Gubarev were launched into space last week and linked up with the Salyut space station on Friday.

Luciano Pavarotti, the "Prince of Tenors," almost literally lifted the roof at the Fox Theatre Saturday night with a concert that stunned the 3,500 concert-goers. Bravos resounded through the almost-full auditorium, whistles reached to the star-studded ceiling and the thunderous applause kept Pavarotti prancing back on stage for over a dozen curtain calls. The Metroplitan Opera star generously responded with five encores, and when the audience wouldn't let him go, even after that, he jovially signaled the end had come by closing the lid on the piano. He was showered with flowers from women who ran up the aisles to deliver them. He kissed each gift.

"Of all the stuff I have booked, I have never seen an audience that went so crazy," said Ted Stevens, manager of the Fox and administrator for the Atlanta Music Club's All-Star series the Pavarotti concert was the last concert of the club's season.

And when it comes to prayer, having friends and doing detective work, they are most knowledgeable. Hope, prayer, having friends, doing detective work and a hundred other factors are most real when your only child walks oat of your life, as if stepping through the front door to another planet' Kyle Wade Clinkscales, 22, a junior in the school of business administration at Auburn University, was.

Some places have lowered the price of a six-pack from $2 to 99 cents. However, Fall City Brewing Co. of Louisville, said it has no intention of pulling Billy Beer out of the Indianapolis -market. No Affair Yet, Susan Says Former First Lady Betty Ford once said in a television interview she wouldn't be shocked if her daughter, Susan, had an affair. But Susan, in an interview with People magazine, says she hasn't had an affair yet.

She defines an affair as "fooling around with a married man." The magazine says the 20-year-old Miss Ford just broke up with a 36-year-old divorced Secret Service agent and that it was her second serious romance. About the men in her life, Susan said: "It's funny, because I've gone from ski patrolmen to stock brokers' to college kids. I date guys who are 5, 10, 15 years older than I am. Here in Palm Springs I think everyone I've dated in the last year has been divorced." Mom Takes Over The Show When a 400-pound Shrine Circus tiger ripped Ronald Kil-roy's leg open with one swipe of his paw, Kilroy's 63-year-old mother wanted to accompany her son to the hospital. But Kilroy said no, the show must go on, and bis mother, Ivy Kit-, roy, was as qualified as anyone to fill in as circus stage manager.

"He's tough and I'm tough," said Mrs. Kilroy, whose 55 years of circus work included stints as trapeze artist and bareback rider. Although her usual job is wardrobe mistress, Mrs. Kilroy said her half-century of experience in the circus allowed her to take over for her son with no difficulty. "I can do anything, from setting up the trapeze to training elephants," said the native Australian.

"In the circus under canvas you've got to be able to do1 everything." Kilroy, 40, of Trevor, was in stable condition at Northwestern Memorial Hospital British Envoy Urges Expansion British Ambassador Peter Jay says he hopes the United States -will avoid "catastrophe" by expanding its economy and imports. Commenting on the drop in the international value of the; dollar, Jay said Monday in Phoenix, "We have lived through a lot of these in the past. I hope the U.S. is not moVing towards some kind of catastrophe, which could occur if the U.S. cuts its economic expansion or limited imports." He told The Phoenix Gazette during a 10-day tour that the British pound is "tremendously strong." Stalin Anniversary Not Noted There was no mention of his name in newspapers or on television.

No public figures paid him tribute. And the hundreds of visitors to Lenin's tomb on Red Square in Moscow filed past his new grave hidden behind it with hardly a glance. The 25th anniversary of the death of dictator Josef Stalin passed Sunday in silence. Family members, including Stalin's grandson, Yevgeny Dzhugashvili, and two small great-grandsons, laid wreaths at the grave. After Stalin's death, his successor, Nikita S.

Khrushchev, led the period of "de-Stalinization" and the country's wartime leader now is rarely mentioned. When Stalin is occasionally mentioned now, it is in the role of a wise and tireless leader, not of the bungler depicted by Khrushchev. His role in forced collectiv- ization, the purges and the deaths of millions in labor camps is not publicly recalled. Heitn To Head Medicaid Richard Heim, former executive director of New Mexico's health and social services department will be named chief of the $20 billion a year Medicaid program, it was nounced Monday. The program is expected to provide health ore services for 21.3 million needy persons this year.

Sailor Heads For, Bed Sea Thor Heyerdahl, the Norwegian explorer and anthropolo gist, headed his reed-built vessel Tigris across the Arabian Sea Monday towards the Gulf of Aden and the Red Sea. After being becalmed for nearly a week with his 10-man crew on the raft, Heverdahl, in a radio message received at Bahrein revealed for the first time the ultimate destination of his Ti- gris Expedition to prove that the ancient Sumerians were capable of building vessels of reeds 5,000 years ago which could be navigated and sailed great distances in the oceans. The 18-meter-long Tigris, launched on the banks of the River Tigris last Nov. 11, has so far visited the island Emirate of Bahrein, the Arabian Sultanate of Oman and lastly Pakistan, the home of the ancient Indus Valley civilization. All these localities are thought by scientists to have had trade relations some 4,000 to 5,000 years ago with Mesopotamia.

hkm brown-haired, told his mother that he really didn't need the clean clothes, and he would pick them up Friday when he returned for the weekend. Kyle had a part-time job at the La-Grange Moose Club, and he returned to his hometown several times each week. So that Tuesday afternoon Kyle walked out the door of his home, started the engine of his 1974 white Pinto (Georgia tag CBF-717) and drove out of his parents' lives. He was seen that Tuesday evening at the Moose working. Kyle left the Moose Club wearing denim pants, a multi-colored blue shirt with a tie and either a denim or brown Kyle Clinkscales N-M Lenox Square open 10 to 9:30 Monday, Thursday, Friday; open to 6 Tuesday, Wednesday, Saturday.

1 suede coat. Supposedly, Kyle was driving to his apartments in Auburn. It's all supposition from here on and has been for over two years. I asked Mrs. Clinkscales, "How does a parent cope with such as this?" "Without our camping people, our church people and our strength in God, we couldn't do it." The Clinkscales are mem-bers of a local camping club as well as the state and national organizations.

The "Troup Travelers" have helped Mr. and Mrs. Clinkscales address hundreds of pieces of literature about Kyle and mail them. across the country. Mr.

Clinkscales added, "It is the not knowing about Kyle that eats away." He was silent and then continued. "Actually, I guess we have become professionals in missing persons work." There was a critical week before anybody considered Kyle missing. When he didn't return home that Friday, his parents called the Moose Club. He had asked for the night off. No problem, according to his father.

He probably was going to attend the Auburn-Florida basketball game in Gai 1 I mm C2 f-A it fn nesville. Also his grandmother was in the hospital, and his parents probably missed his phone call because they were at the hospital It was the next Tuesday, when Kyle did not show up in LaGrange, when the real fear began. And no matter what anybody has done, there have been no leads. Local police, the GBI, a private detective and even ads have not produced the usual crank responses. So Mr.

and Mrs. Clinkscales have done all that they could think of: mailing flyers on Kyle to every county sheriff's office in Texas, writing every state vehicle registration department, and now they have had printed about 45,000 bumper stickers which they hope to mail to every police department in towns of over 35,000 population in addition to sending the stickers to every field director of the National Campers and Hikers Association. The stickers ask: "What happened to Kyle Clinkscales driving a 1974 Pinto with Georgia tag CEF-717? Murdered? Amnesia? Missing? $2,000 for information. Call (404) 884-4611." No matter what Mr. and Mrs.

Clinkscales do, the activity becomes related in some way to Kyle and his disappearance. If Mr. Clinkscales reads the newspaper and sees a story about an unidentified body somewhere, he calls the LaGrange police. It is checked out. The couple goes camping.

In fact, they have camped in almost every state. And just as they began to forget, a white Pinto passes John Clinkscales said, "Yes, we can forget for about 10 minutes at a time."
