Green Bay Press- Gazette From A-1 0 Putty serious violations and has been fined more than $6,000, according to OSHA area director Robert Hallock. Randolph said only a couple of violations remain and will be corrected by this fall. -The 12-foot-diameter rubber seals called O-rings encircle segments of the booster where they are joined. The primary O-rings, and similar backup seals, are supposed to prevent a booster's solid fuel from burning through the wall. Such a burnthrough is suspected in the Jan.
28 Challenger explosion, that killed its crew of seven. The putty, made with zinc chromate and an asbestos filler, is put in the gap between booster segments and is supposed to protect the rings from the burning fuel. Some of the primary rubber seals have failed at least a dozen times on shuttle missions, National Aeronautics and Space Administration officials have said. NASA engineer Irving Davids has said the O-rings probably burned because the putty failed. Richard Feynman, who is on the presidential commission investigating the Challenger tragedy, suggested Tuesday that sub-freezing temperatures the day of the launch could have affected the seals.
Feynman, a Nobel physicist, said he had placed some of the putty in a glass of ice water. "For a few seconds, there's no resilience in this particular material," he said. "I believe this has some significance for our problem." Richard Cook, a budgetary program analyst for NASA, told the commission that Morton Thiokol manufacturer of the solid booster rockets, also had mentioned problems with the putty. The Environmental Protection Agency has voiced concerns about Reagan Congress to get its own house in order. I do too.
San rest assured that any tax increase sent to me will be VOA veto on arrival." Reagan said in an opening statement. His budget has provoked criticism from both parties in Congress, largely because it seeks a 12 percent increase in defense spending authority at the same time it calls for sweeping cuts in domestic programs. Asked why his budget proposed increasing the amount that a veteran must pay for a Veterans Administration loan, Reagan responded: "I can't answer that question specifically. I know that we don't want to penalize our veterans, take away any of the benefits and so forth that they have. Aquino quorum.
Opposition party members walked eras protest what they said election by Marcos supporters, and many members of Marcos' New Society Movement left early or did not show up, leaving only 78 of 190 deputies present. Latest figures by the government Commission on Elections indicate Marcos was leading Aquino, 6,449,552 votes to 5,906,206, on the basis of 58.4 percent of the precincts. Aquino led in tabulations by the independent National Movement. for Free Elections. That count, based on 65.8 percent of the precincts, gave her 7,156,073 votes to Marcos' 6,487,554.
Aquino has claimed victory, while Marcos said he thinks be the winner. He said he would invite Aquino to join a new "council of state." In rejecting that proposal, Aquino said: "It would be a delusion of policy that an opposition whose leaders and followers have been and are being killed can suddenly settle the putty's danger to workers because it contains asbestos. Cook said NASA is considering research and development of an asbestosfree putty, a project estimated to cost $50 million. Randolph, saying he was trying to anticipate "complaints" about the putty, said, "That material is not a Randolph formula. It's a U.S.
government formula." He said that after the putty leaves his plant in one- gallon metal containers, it is tested at a laboratory before being shipped to the Morton Thiokol plant west of Brigham City, Utah, where the rocket boosters are made. The putty is layered on when the booster segments are assembled at dy Space Center in Florida. Randolph, whose plant has about 70 employees, successfully bid for NASA's putty contract and started providing it for the eighth shuttle mission in August 1983. The putty is not difficult to produce, said Randolph, 90, whose 50- year-old company produces a variety of lacquers, paints, aircraft finishes and cleaning solvents, including several for the military. OSHA said the serious violations against Randolph included inadequate fire protection, including problems with the automatic sprinkler system; failure to have gauges and alarms in a paint-spraying booth in case of ventilation problems; failure to have proper shields and shutoff switches on machines, including drums in which paint is mixed; and failure to properly ground electrical circuits.
Also, drainage was lacking to control the flow of leaking chemicals; some tanks lacked pressure relief valves and others did not have adequate guard rails; and flammable liquids were being moved containers that were not properly grounded, OSHA's said. The president's budget seeks to save $132 million in fiscal 1987 by raising from the current 1 percent to 2 percent the origination fee a veteran must pay for obtaining a VA guaranteed loan a rate that would rise to 3.8 percent by 1990. By the administration's own estimate, about 216,000 veterans are expected to use the VA program in obtaining home mortgates in 1987. Reagan also made specific reference to student loans and grants, which his budget would cut by $1.3 billion partly by charging student borrowers higher interest rates and requiring earlier payments. find students that are getting this aid and their families are in an income bracket that, really, there's no reason or excuse for them to be getting federal help," Reagan said.
down to a Western-style opposition role in a healthy two-party system. "Too many will be dead the moment the world's head is Meanwhile, about 400 Roman Catholic nuns, priests and lay workers deposited hundreds of tiny wooden crosses on barbed wire barricades near Marcos' palace today to protest the violence and alleged fraud in the election. In another development, a spokesman at military headquarters in Manila said Gen. Fidel Ramos, commander of the national police, had ordered the "technical arrest" of Capt. John Paloy in connection with the death of former Gov.
Evelio Javier, a prominent Aquino supporter. Technical arrest means a person is confined to barracks or otherwise restricted but not actually jailed or charged with a crime. Javier, chairman of Aquino's campaign in the central province of Antique, was shot dead Tuesday outside the provincial capital building. Witnesses said a group of six men chased Javier in an alley and fired at least 50 shots, hitting him more than 20 times. Midwest jet crash cause still unknown WASHINGTON (AP) A federal report on the September crash of a Midwest Express jet in Milwaukee leaves open a "range of possibilities" why the aircraft went down, killing all 31 people aboard, a spokesman said today.
The National Transportation Safety Board will consider the investigative team's lengthy report along with testimony from public hearings that begin Feb. 18 to determine the cause of the Sept. 6 crash of the DC-9. The report describes the failure of the aircraft's right engine, which aviation sources say should not in itself necessarily cause a crash, and subsequent stalling of the left engine. The report does not establish a direct cause and effect relationship between the engine failure and any other malfunction that might have led to the disaster.
"It's a puzzle being put together. We've assembled quite a number of pieces," said NTSB deputy director of information Ira Furman. But, he emphasized, the investigative team's report "would allow competing theories to remain viable. "There are no answers here. There is a range of possibilities."

The surgery was performed Tuesday "and everything apparently went well," said spokeswoman Harriet Sternberg.

Reagan: Gorbachev not ducking summit session WASHINGTON (AP) President Reagan says he doesn't think Soviet leader Mikhail Gorbachev is trying to back out of a summer summit, even though a date for the meeting has not been set yet. At the same time, however, Reagan dismissed the idea that the Soviets are trying to extract any kind of concessions on arms control issues in exchange for an agreement on a summit date. "That kind of linkage wouldn't work," Reagan told a news conference Tuesday night. Reagan said he would.
"like to have it pinned down," when he was asked whether he was growing impatient with the lack of an agreement on a summit date.

Lent, the period of 45 weekdays leading to Easter, is observed variously in Christian churches by fasting and penitence to commemorate Jesus' fasting in the wilderness. "Charity rids us of our selfishness, the pope said in the message. "It breaks down the walls of our isolation, it opens our eyes to our neighbor, to those more distant from us and to the whole of Noting daily media reports on "desperate appeals of millions of our less fortunate brethren," the pope said: "How can we remain indifferent before those children with their despairing faces.
