Aeronautics Space Administration decided today that the booster stage of the Space Shuttle will be powered by solid-propellant rocket motors rather than by liquid propellants The agency announced also that the booster stage will lie recoverable and that the chosen design will have en gines of both the booster and the orbiter stage firing at launch rather than in sequence NASA said it will issue invitations to industry later this week to submit proposals for design and development of the space shuttle THE DECISION also probably means that the Cape Kennedy Ha launch complex will be chosen over other contenders for space shuttle launchings NASA previously had decided on the design for the upper stage of the Space Shuttle called the orbiter and had awarded a contract for the engines However a company passed over on the engine decision has challenged choice and the General Accounting Office is conducting an investigation THE SPACE Shuttle booster will launch the huge vehicle through the atmosphere after which the booster stage will separate and possibly be lowered to Earth by parachute for use again on other missions The orbiter stage fitted See SHUTTLE Page 8-A Chaos AMMAN Jordan (UPI)-King Hussein announced plans today to reorganize his Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan into a federal state known as the United Arab Kingdom Its most important point was establishing a semi-autonomous State of Palestine on the Israel-occupied West Bank Political sources in Beirut said his plan depended on the Israelis and could pave the way for a peace settlement with Israel Arab sources which gave the first word of the plan on Tuesday have expressed fears that Jordan would act separately on some peace agreement at expense of the Arab cause and the Palestinian guerrillas THE KING in an address to 500 leading citizens at the Basman Palace said legislation to carry out the first steps of the reorganization would be sent to parliament for immediate action But in the long run his plans will depend on Israeli approval One of the hitches to the Hussein plan was for establishment of Jerusalem as capital for the Palestinian region with Amman remaining the federal capital in which Hussein would rule as head of state aided by a central Council of Ministers and a National Assembly ISRAEL WHICH captured Arab Jerusalem in the 1967 War has said the city will remain the capital of Israel The official Israeli word on the proposal comes Thursday when Prime Minister Golda Meir addresses Parliament (A spokesman for the Israeli Foreign Ministry repeated its statement of Wednesday that there was no agreement any form be tween Israel and Jordan on the planned federation) Anwar Hatib who was the King Hussein Jordanian Governor of East Jerusalem until Israel captured it said the Hussein proposal on Jerasulen like a gathering of Indian chiefs in the United States arguing among themselves who is going to get back control over New Despite official Israeli and Jordanian denials of any deal the Israeli newspaper Yedioth Aharonoth said Israel was preparing further expansion of port facilities at Gaza main city in occupied Gaza Strip which could serve needs for an outlet into the Mediterranean It said Hussein in turn would be expected to give Israel major concessions on the West Bank Hussein in announcing plans for the semi autonomous region on the West bank said any other Palestinian territory Jordan eventually won from Israel would become part of the Palestinian Region A GOVERNMENT spokesman later elaborated on the speech saying "The Federation can include any part of Palestine we can Haifa for in- Src HUSSEIN Page 8-A answers legitimate questions and complaints We will not attempt to solve legal or medical problems or to locate missing persons Full name and

BURNING I live in southwest Shreveport and there is a plant nearby that burns trash in the open five to six days a week I want to know if this plant is in the city or not and if its location has anything to do with the fact that it is burning trash when we are not permitted to do TS Since air control regulations are administered by a state agency whether the plant is in the city or not is not in question but a spokesman for the Northwest Louisiana Air Quality Control Region reports the firm you named and the conditions you reported are being investigated We also had a similar question from concerning a plant in Bossier City and what plans there are if any to reduce burning at this location and have been informed that some improvement in conditions should by now be apparent and that further improvements are planned If you would like a more detailed report on what is being and will be done you may want to contact the Northwest Louisiana Air Quality Control Region direct telephone 422-6286 Action Reaction Correction: In answering a question from in Action Line March 9 we said no one under the age of 21 can legally purchase in a liquor store in Louisiana Our wording was intended to answer the specific question asked and is as we understand it correct with reference to the Louisiana Criminal Code (RS 14:91) which prohibits the sale of or spirituous liquors" to anyone under the age of 21 and the Shreveport City Code (Section 3-6) which states in part that: shall be unlawful for any person to sell give or dispense any beverage of low alcoholic content to any person under the age of eighteen (18) years or any beverage of high alcoholic content to any person under the age of twenty-one (21) years However we were incorrect in attributing this statement to a representative of the Louisiana Alcoholic Beverage Control Board and did misunderstand the age given by our board source with reference to acts prohibited on licensed premises (RS 26:88) which includes the provision that person holding a retail permit and no agent associate employee representative or servant of any such person shall sell or serve alcoholic beverages to any person under the' age of eighteen years Race Into MIAMI (UPI) Alabama Gov George surprising steamroller victory Tuesday in the Florida primary shattered Sen Edmund claim as front-runner and threw the already muddled race for the Democratic presidential nomination into chaos Coming off a disappointing showing last week in New Hampshire Muskie finished a badly beaten fourth Sen Hubert II Humphrey of Minnesota who wound up far behind Wallace in second place immediately claimed he was the leading candidate for 1 lie nomination Sen Henry Jackson of Washington ran a surprising third The results closely watched by politicians over the coun- Itclatrd Stories ll-B try even further confused the Democratic presidential sweepstakes and left the party still without a dominant candidate for the nomination SITUATION looks hearty encouraging and said Humphrey Wallace pledgol shall continue our campaign for God and and said that the other Democratic candidates want to get together with me now I think all of them have liecn badly Muskie said his own loss did not disturb him as much as the victory by Wallace whom he bitterly attacked as "a demagogue of the worst possible A grim Muskie conceded defeat and lashed out at Wallace as a man who the way to advance himself is to exploit NEVER MENTIONING the other candidates Muskie said pledge to you tonight that as long as his kind of politics his values threaten the nobility of this country I will fight him with everything In next Illinois primary only Muskie and for mer Sen Eugene McCarthy are entered in the presidential preference lest and Muskie and Sep George McGovern are the only ones seeking convention delegates The entire field however is entered in the April 4 Wisconsin primary Scorned by the other candidates as an outcast and a spoiler Wallace rode a
