Scientists check data in a controlled climate room at Shell Oil Co.'s research facility in Houston. Test temperatures range from 40 degrees below zero to 120 degrees at various levels of humidity. Temperature is a critical factor in such tests as driveability, starting, carburetor icing, vapor lock and fuel economy, officials said. (AP Wirephoto).

Hiroshima hostilityfading?

NEW YORK (AP) Forty years after the atom bomb fell on Hiroshima, the majority of Americans and Japanese regard relations between the countries as friendly, with old hostilities fading, according to a new poll published today. War memories still raise strong emotions on both sides, however, with 44 percent of Japanese respondents saying they held the atomic bombing of Hiroshima and Nagasaki against the United States, according to a poll conducted by The New York Times, CBS News and the Tokyo Broad-

casting System. Twenty-seven percent of American respondents said they still hold the attack on Pearl Harbor against Japan, the poll found. According to the poll, the friendly feelings are stronger in the United States; 23 percent of American respondents said relations between the two countries were “very friendly,” while only 5 percent of Japanese respondents rated the relationship in those terms. The number of those in both nations rating the relationship as “somewhat friendly” was more even, with 65 per-

Reagan mulling test ban

WASHINGTON (AP) - President Reagan says he is interested in a permanent ban on U.S.-Soviet nuclear weapons testing, but not until agreements are reached to ensure Soviet compliance and until the Pentagon completes work on a new generation of American weapons. And Reagan, despite a high-level swap of arms control proposals between the White House and the Kremlin last week, still believes that long-running talks between negotiators in Geneva are the pathways to meaningful disarmament. “Let’s get back down to real facts,” Reagan told a news conference on Monday. “In Geneva is where the decisions should be made and not with moratoriums of that kind. Let’s get down to the business once and for all of reducing the numbers of nuclear weapons, hopefully leading toward a total elimination of them. Then there wouldn’t be any need for testing.” It was Reagan’s first direct response to Soviet leader Mikhail Gorbachev’s July 29

cent of Americans and 68 percent of Japanese choosing that response. Currenttrade frictions between the two nations have not altered these basic attitudes, most people asked in both countries said. But those who reported that trade had changed their opinions were three times more likely to say they now felt less friendly about the other country than more friendly. The survey was based on telephone interviews of 1,569 Americans, conducted between July 16-21, and 1,428 Japanese interviewed in person between July 11-15. In both countries, the margin of error is plus or minus three percent.

'Crackling, grinding' Sound of jumbo jet disintegrating on Delta tape

GRAPEVINE, Texas (AP) The crew of Delta Air Lines Flight 191 gave no indication anything was wrong, and by the time a cockpit voice recorder picked up the tower’s order to go around, it also took in the “crackling, grinding” sound of a jumbo jet disintegrating, an investigator said. Patrick Bursley, a member of the National Transportation Safety Board, said the sounds of destruction followed the electronic voice of an automatic ground proximity warning device that told the pilot three times to “Pull up! ” But he said Monday that the sound of the L-1011 Tristar coming apart were on the voice recorder before a frantic radio signal “Delta, go around!” from an aircraft controller in the tower at Dallas-Fort Worth International Airport. The controller’s order was fruitless, Bursley said Monday, because the plane already had bounced twice, hitting a hillside and a highway. The plane crashed Friday, killing 132 people on board and a man on the ground. Until the crash, the cockpit voice recorder tape contained a routine conversation

Government renews detention orders

JOHANNESBURG, South Africa (AP) Despite threats of a black economic boycott, the government is pressing ahead with treason trials and renewing detention orders for hundreds of people rounded up under the 17-day state of emergency. The black National Union of Mineworkers said the boycott of white businesses could be averted if President P.W. Botha lifts the emergency declaration by Wednesday. But the government on Monday signed detention renewal orders for hundreds of people picked up early in the emergency. Under the regulations, a detainee must be freed after two weeks unless a new order is issued.

announcement that the Soviets would impose a five-month moratorium on nuclear weapons tests beginning today and would continue beyond Jan. 1 if the United States would impose a similar moratorium in the meantime. On other issues, Reagan: —Said that while he opposed economic sanctions, he found some “helpful” aspects in a congressional move to tighten U.S. pressure on South Africa to end its policy

Skin cancer for Reagan

WASHINGTON (AP) For the second time in three weeks, the nation has heard the jarring news that President Reagan has cancer this time a common and easily curable form of skin cancer that is far less worrisome than the colon cancer discovered earlier. Reagan himself disclosed Monday that a bump removed from his nose last week turned out to be a form of skin cancer, known as a basal cell carcinoma, and he quickly tried to reassure Americans about his health. “They come from exposure to the sun,” he told reporters. “Nancy had one removed from her upper lip sometime ago. They’ve very commonplace. They do not betoken in any way that you are cancerprone.” Indeed, medical experts said there was

Crash victim survivor once

MIAMI (AP) A man who died in the crash of Delta Air Lines Flight 191 was the only survivor of a private plane crash eight years ago that killed six members of his family. “We spent the first hour after hearing the news figuring what the odds of something like this could be,” said Bob Guterma, 33, brother of Marc Guterma, who was among 132 Delta passengers who died in Friday’s crash.. “We came to the conclusion that it was impossible,” he said.

between the pilot and copilot, Bursley said. “They were talking about the fact they were in rain and what they were having to do to deal with the flight but there is no indication of apprehension.” The tape then picked up the voice of the ground proximity warning, which Bursley likened to buzzers on cars that tell when a door is ajar.

The union also has called a gold mine strike to begin Aug. 25 aimed at crippling South Africa’s gold-dependent economy. The strike is over economic issues. As of Monday, 1,428 people had been detained and 109 released since a state of emergency was imposed July 21 in an effort to quell a year of racial violence that has claimed at least 500 black victims, according to police headquarters. Most of those detained are in the second and third ranks of the United Democratic Front, the main group fighting South Africa’s institutionalized race segregation called apartheid through which the country’s 5 million whites control the voteless black majority of 24 million.

Shuttle heading for home

CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. (AP) - Challenger’s astronauts headed home today from a space shuttle journey that scientists said was ending as a sensational success after a recovery from a launch abort, a lost engine and failed experiments. “Happy landings,” one Mission Control team radioed as it completed its last shift of the mission early today. Astronaut John David-Bartoe, an astrophysicist, replied that he was ready to stay up for another “two or three weeks of on-the-job training.” He was taking his final turn at the shuttle’s battery of sunwatching telescopes. Touchdown on a desert runway at Edwards Air Force Base, Calif., was set for 3:45 p.m. at the end of an eight-day, 3.3-million-mile journey hailed as the most ambitious space science effort ever. The re-entry path will bring Challenger in over the California coast south of Los Angeles between Seal Beach and Santa

of apartheid. —Praised Congress for repealing an amendment that prohibited U.S. aid to rebels fighting the Marxist government in Angola. —Said the $967.6 budget compromise approved by Congress last week “was not as much as we had hoped” for in the way of savings. He promised to examine future spending bills from Congress “with my veto pen hovering over every line.”

no relation between Reagan’s skin cancer and his colon cancer, the second most deadly form of the disease. “This is a little one compared to the other one,” said Dr. Thomas Nigra, chief of the Dermatology Department at Washington Hospital Center and a recognized expert in his field. While describing skin cancer as the most common and easily curable form of the disease, Nigra said its existence “puts you at risk” in the future. Statistically speaking, one in seven people who have had skin cancer will have another appearance of the disease within 18 months, Nigra said. “The president needs to be watched, probably on a semi-annual basis, for newly appearing lesions,” said Nigra, who is not involved in Reagan’s care.

Only Bob Guterma stayed behind when seven members of his family flew to New York City aboard a Mitsubishi turbo-prop in 1977 to see a circus. The plane crashed four miles from LaGuardia Airport in light rain and heavs fog. Marc Guterma was the sole survivor of the crash, which killed his father, mother, and four brothers and sisters. In both crashes, only the tail of the plane remained intact.

Investigators also confirmed that a substantial increase in power just before the crash was the result of crew initiative, rather than a response to the tower’s goaround order. “At that point, the controlability of the airplane was beyond recovery,” Bursley said.

The treason trial of 16 UDF leaders entered its second day today in Pietermaritzburg in the eastern Natal province. Defendants include two of UDF’s three copresidents. The trial is seen as the most significant treason trial in South Africa since 1960, when 156 activists were acquitted following a 4-year-old legal contest. In Washington, chief State Department spokesman Bernard Kalb said, “We regret the government’s decision to arrest and hold treason trials for a significant number of opposition leaders ... The government’s decision to seek these trials detracts from its stated commitment to seek a dialogue with black leaders.”

Ana. On May 6. when Challenger came down directly over Los Angeles, police were flooded with calls about burglar alarms set off when the shuttle’s sonic booms rattled windows. The seven-man crew was returning with miles of data tape, thousands of photographs and 45 hours of video tape that could give researchers a better understanding of the sun. stars, galaxies and the gases and particles that swirl in the Earth’s atmosphere Officials said that during the mission, ground controllers received 1.25 trillion bits of data. “All the experimenters are delighted with the sensational results of this mission, which has been 10 years in the planning,” mission scientist Eugene Urban told reporters at Mission Control. He said the flight achieved 80 percent to 85 percent of its science goals despite problems that included an early engine shutdown on liftoff that left the ship in an orbit 46 miles low.
