2 INTELLIGENCER JOURNAL, Lancaster, Tuesday, November 16, 1982 $2 Million Space Suit Fails Its First Test SPACE CENTER, Houston (AP) For a new era in space, NASA wanted a suit that was sleek, flexible and relatively cheap replacement for the bulky, confining and expensive outfits that served 36 astronauts, without fail. The new model is sleek and flexible, but, after Monday's failure, still unproven. Costs tripled during the suit's troubled development. The shuttle suits were designed as work clothes for spaceborne construction workers. new suits are also designed to be fitted "off the shelf," instead of custom tailored as were past space walk outfits.

Monday's space walk by astronauts Joseph Allen and William Lenoir was to test the new suits for use in 1984 on the first shuttle repair mission. Apollo space suits were customed-designed for each astronaut and cost several million dollars each in 1960s dollars. Joints in those suits included cables and pulleys. Tubes and hoses had to be carefully connected and it was an -long struggle for an astronaut to dress himself. The new suits, at $2 million each, according to astronaut the same function that the earth's atNASA, can be donned within minutes.

Allen's suit, Reagan and Kohl Reject Suits Fail, Space Walk Concessions to Soviets Is Canceled WASHINGTON President Reagan and Chancellor Helmut Kohl said in a joint statement Monday that the United States and West Germany were ready to broaden cooperation with the new Soviet leadership but only "if Soviet conduct makes that possible." the conclusion of two hours of talks at the White House, the two lead-, ers agreed on a basically conservative approach to the Kremlin. Aides to both men said they rejected, in their conversation, any Western concessions to the Russians, in the absence of moves by the new Soviet leaders to ease tensions.

"It is especially important at present for the West to approach the Soviet Union with a clear, steadfast and coherent attitude which combines the defense of its own interests with the readiness to pursue constructive relations, dialogue and cooperation with the leadership of the Soviet Union," the joint statement said. Administration officials said this was essentially the message that Vice President George conveyed to Yuri V. Andropov, Soviet sushe Communist Party leader, after the funeral of I. Brezhnev in Moscow on Monday. Reagan, in welcoming Kohl to the Washington for the first time since his accession last month to the chancellorship in Bonn, did not deviate from his own publicly tough position toward the Russians.

"In these uncertain times when a power to the East has built a massive war machine far in excess of any legitimate defensive needs, the Western democracies must stand firmly together if our freedom and peace of the world are to be preserved," he said in his remarks on the White House lawn. "The German people are on the front lines of freedom." Kohl, the leader of the Christian Democrats who replaced the Social Democratic leader, Helmut Schmidt, as marks chancellor that the on Oct. West 1, said German in his public reremained solid in support of the Atlantic partnership. to all Americans, therefore, I say today, most emphatically, you can count on your German friends," he said, speaking in German through an interpreter. American and West German officials said that the two leaders, who had met when Kohl headed the West German opposition, got along very well.

A State Department official said to reporters that "I know of no issue over which the two gentlemen disagreed." On Saturday, Reagan lifted the sanctions on West German and other companies involved in building the Soviet natural gas pipeline to West Europe as the result, he said, of "sub-stantial agreement" by the allies on an overall approach on economic relations to the Soviet Union. France has insisted that Reagan's announcement was premature, and that it had not agreed to anything. Monday, President Francois Mitterrand said that Reagan's announcement on an agreement "did not correspond to reality, as far as France is "France is not party to what is perhaps not even an agreement," he said in Paris. He indicated that talks would continue, "but we do not want France's freedom of decision to be modified by talks which have not won the acceptance of the responsible authorities." But both White House and State Department officials insisted that the French had concurred in the substance of the agreement, setting forth a more restrictive policy toward trade with the Russians. They said France was taking the position that no agreement had been reached for its own political reasons.

Kohl seemed to lend support to the American contention that an agreement had been worked out. The joint statement said that he and Reagan "greeted with satisfaction the recent agreement on measures leading to a broader consensus on East-West economic relations." "They attached the greatest importance to a common approach to this issue," the statement said. "Close consultation and cooperation on EastWest economic issues is as vital to Western interests as is the traditional cooperation on political and security questions." Kohl, the statement said, told Reagan that he appreciated "the lift- First Test however, could not function safely without the fan. Development of the new suit has been troubled from the beginning. An oxygen fire in one test suit and failure of stitching in another caused delays and cost runups.

Hamilton Standard, a division of United Technologies developed the new suit for NASA. The work began under a $46.9 million contract, but because of overruns and problems during the five-year development program the final cost is expected to reach $150 million, a Hamilton Standard spokesman said. The contract calls for 43 suits and 13 life support systems. Hamilton Standard spokesman Mark Sullivan said engineers would have to evaluate the equipment after it is returned to earth to determine exactly what went wrong. NASA's previous space walk suits, worn by five Gemini, 16 Apollo and nine Skylab astronauts, worked without fail.

No, space walk was ever scrubbed due to equipment trouble until Monday. NEWSMAKERS From Our Wire Services Order in the By Bernard Gwertzman New York Times News Service in an unmanned suit and a pressure leak because of failed stitching, contributed cost overruns that more than tripled the actual price to $150 million. Ironically, another UTC subsidiary built failed fuel cell which cut short the second shuttle mission. Company spokesman Mark Sullivan said the space suits would be evaluated to see what went wrong when they are returned to Earth. The space walk, to have been America's first since 1974, was scheduled for hours on Sunday, but Lenoir had motion sickness and it was put off one day.

The problems began with Allen's fan after he and Lenoir had entered Columbia's airlock the ship's doorstep to space to breathe pure oxygen and avoid getting the bends after their walk into the open-space cargo bay. Right away, Allen's fan went on the fritz. It made a "motorboating" sound that was clearly heard by Mission Control. The fan is located in a life support backpack attached to the suit; its function is to maintain a flow of oxygen through the suit. "It ran for about four to five minutes," Lenoir said.

"It gradually deteriorated and then flat quit and we turned it off and here we are." Lenoir wanted to take short solo" and Allen piped up: "He's well trained and ought to go do it." Mission Control told Lenoir to just "crack the hatch," to stand in the open cargo-bay door but not go outside. But Lenoir's suit was in trouble too and this exercise was also scratched. That problem was a reguheld the suit pressure too low. Without pressurization, the human body would explode in airlessness. The astronauts were never in danger, and even if the problems had occurred after the walk had begun, Lunney said there would have time for a safe return.

"I sure would have liked to have seen the space walk go well and we are obviously he said, "but we still good about this flight and we'll be right A repair-mission space walk would be absolutely essential if the shuttle's cargo doors failed to close before reenty. Officials were confident Lenoir could handle the task if the emergency cropped up this morning. Testing and emergencies aside, the space suits will be needed for flight 13, in 1984 when plans call for an astronaut to retrieve and repair a failed satellite. NASA also would like to have a space walk completed before committing an astronaut to maneuver away from the shuttle in a test of a new jet-powered back pack, is set for flight 11 in January 1984. A space excursion "is the kind of we can do on a number of flights," Lunney said.

Federal prosecutors say Wilson was motivated by greed and became an arms merchant to Libyan terrorist simply for profit. Wilson claims he desired only to collect intelligence for the United States. Author Pleads Guilty The author of the best-selling book "How to Make Love to a Woman" pleaded guilty Monday to punching his former girlfriend in the face. Manhattan Criminal Court Judge Stephen Crane sentenced Michael Morgenstern, a 30-year-old author and lawyer, to an unconditional discharge and a $40 "penalty assessment." "We got into a heated argument and for one second I lost control," Morgenstern said of the incident in which his former girlfriend, 22-year-old fashion model Ethel Marie Parks.

The guilty plea was entered after Morgenstern agreed to a $30,000 settlement of a civil lawsuit Miss Parks had filed against him, according to her lawyer in that case, Doreen Abraham.

In the joint statement, the two leaders seemed to go out of their way to present a firm stance to the Soviet Union. After calling on the Soviet Union to show more respect for human rights and to adopt a policy of "moderation and restraint," Reagan "underlined their desire to improve relations with the Soviet Union." "They are ready to conduct relations with the new leadership in Moscow with the aim of extending areas of cooperation to their mutual benefit if Soviet conduct makes that the statement said.

Officials said this meant that they were watching for signs of change in the situation in Afghanistan, Poland and Cambodia, as well as for an easing on the treatment of political dissidents within the Soviet and a more forthcoming approach by the Russians at the arms control negotiations. As to the release of Lech Walesa. the leader of the Solidarity union, after 11 months of confinement by Polish authorities, Reagan and Kohl said they hoped this would promote the attainment of the longstanding Western demands for an end to martial law in Poland, the release of all detainees, and the resumption of the between the authorities and the church and the workers.

The United States is supposed to begin deployment at the end of next year in West Germany and other countries of a new generation of Pershing and cruise missiles if no accord is reached with the Russians on banning those weapons in return for the dismantling of the Soviet Union's SS-20 missiles now targeted on Western Europe. Kohl has repeatedly said that despite political opposition in West Germany such deployment, he would go ahead if there was no agreement reached with the Russians at the Geneva talks. Man Convicted Under Gun Law Continued From Page One tempted robbery. His parole was revoked in August and he was committed to Lancaster County Prison for the unexpired balance of that sentence. After Cooke and Dixon were arrested, city police said they intended to vigorously prosecute the two.

Capt. Luther Henry said, "We plan to pursue the five-year penalty and the police are not going to enter into any deals or negotiated pleas for sentencing on these types of offenders." Gun-related crimes covered by the new law are third degree murder, voluntary manslaughter, rape, arson, robbery with threat to commit injury, aggravated assault and kidnapping.
