(AP) Astronaut Steven Hawley, who was aboard the maiden flight of the space shuttle Discovery, wants to orbit the Earth with his wife as the first husband-wife team in space. His wife astronaut Sally Ride -has already made the trip twice. "It would simplify the scheduling a lot," Hawley said Monday night as keynote speaker at the fifth annual Wright Brothers Celebration dinner held by the Wichita Aeronautical Historical Association. The dinner marked the 81st anniversary of the Wright brothers' historic airplane awley, 33, was a mission specialist on Discovery's inaugural six-day mission.

"I didn't do this job in order to become famous," Hawley said at a news conference. "I'm honored to be a part of it. I don't think I fooled myself into thinking that I'm the only one in the country that can do this. "In that light, you tend to be very humble about the whole thing." Miss Ride became America's first woman in space in June 1983 when she was a mission specialist on the shuttle Challenger. She also was aboard Challenger for a second flight two months ago.

Barbara Walters NEW YORK (AP) Barbara Walters, who signed a $1 million-a-year contract with ABC televison eight years ago, says any man she married would have to support her. She said in an interview in the current McCalFs magazine that she could not imagine leaving her work as a television interviewer unless she were married. She added: "I would not marry anybody who would not support me." A divorcee with a 16-year-old daughter, Miss Walters said she has never been attracted to actors or to the "very handsome and sure-of-himself ladies' man." An exception would be someone like Paul Newman, she added, who is sort of like businessmen," she said. "I like the waters to run still and "Men with 'wounded wings' don't appeal to me," she said. "Powerful and wounded, that would appeal to me.

But if he's just wounded, I'd say goodbye."

Caldicott SAN FRANCISCO (AP) Nuclear freeze activist Dr. Helen Caldicott has angered Mayor Dianne Feinstein by protest plans to bring a battleship with nuclear capability to San Francisco. "It's the first time the key has ever been used politically," said Ms. Feinstein, adding that she "could not recall a time in my IS years when anyone has given back a key."

This year, on its 10th anniversary, Congress attempted to modify the law with additional safeguards and requirements, but adjourned without taking final action. The legislation is designed to ensure that communities provide an adequate suppjy of pure drinking water to meet the nation's needs, now and into the 21st century.

AWWA calls it one of the most important means of protecting public health and the nation's water supplies. DOONESBURY MKUTiOUK. MM. KWSPAPERl.
