Public fear was at a minimum in Europe. But the Swiss were preparing nonetheless. For Skylab's final hours, the Swiss will keep civil protection services on alert and are asking radio stations to remain on the air with reports around the clock. If there is any indication in the final hours that Skylab might, indeed, crash in Switzerland, the nation's churches will be asked to alert the population by tolling all bells. In the Philippines, fear has been so bad that President Ferdinand Marcos went on national television and radio Saturday to allay it.

A Manila newspaper had quoted an amateur astronomer as giving Skylab one chance in 200 of hitting the Philippines. Marcos told his people there was no cause for alarm that American officials assured him if Skylab seemed about to descend over a populated area, they could control it long enough to move it. American officials have repeatedly offered assurances that the chances of disaster are slim. They say: The odds that Skylab debris will kill anyone are only one in 152. Most of Skylab's path will be over ocean, increasing the chances that debris will fall harmlessly in the sea.

If Skylab appears likely to fall on densely populated countries, its course might be manipulated a bit to aim it oyer less populated areas, even if that means toward the United States. By The Associated Press As the world waits for Skylab to fall, panic has struck India, the president of the Philippines has taken to nationwide television to urge calm and the Swiss are looking to their church bells as an Alpine early warning system. In the Indian state of Andhra Pradesh on Tuesday, officials issued a statement saying there was no cause for alarm. But the United News of India reported some families leaving home or sending children away for destinations believed safer from the space station's debris. How they calculated that was not explained.

In South Africa, the Rand Daily Mail took note in an editorial of the slim 'chance which American officials give Skylab of hitting anything important. But it also observed grimly that if anyone is killed, it will severely tarnish the American space program's good name. "Someone' should have foreseen this potential disaster before they sent the darned thing up," the newspaper The editorial was titled: "Look Before You Leap." In Buenos Aires, the newspaper La Opinion told readers which was the deepest subway "station, if they want to hide. 1 Australia was not immune from Skylab jitters either.
