It's Wednesday, August 29, 1984 9 Sections 68 Pages 25 Cents Computer fault grounds shuttle for third time CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. ( UPI) Launch- ev- e problems with the hard- luc- k space shuttle Discovery forced mission planners to postpone its maiden blastoff at least 24 hours until Thursday the third launch delay in two months. Discovery was scheduled to blast off at 8: 35 a. m. EDT Wednesday on a six- da- y mission to launch three com-munications satellites. But National Aeronautics and Space Administration spokesman Jim Ball said engineers decided to postpone the blastoff after problems were found with an onboard comput-er system that controls critical events during launch. No other de-tails were immediately available. " It's scrubbed 24 hours," Ball said. Discovery and its six- memb- er crew were scheduled to spend six days in orbit before gliding to a high-speed touchdown on a dry lakebed at Edwards Air Force Base, Calif., on Sept. 4. Commander Henry Hartsfield, co-pilot Michael Coats and crew mem-bers Judy Resnik, the second Ameri-can woman to get a shuttle ride, Ste-ven Hawley, Richard Mullane and Charles Walker were told late Tues-day they would not fly the next day. Walker, an engineer with McDonnell Douglas Astronautics Co. and the first commercial astronaut, will op-erate his company's continuous flow electrophoresis system, a biological processor that will utilize the weight-lessness of space to purify samples of a top- secr- et hormone Engineers on Tuesday, however, found evidence indicating a com-mand timing problem with Discov-ery's two master events controllers. The electronic units send timed signals that fire explosive bolts re-leasing the shuttle's solid rocket boosters from the launch pad for lift-off and other commands that blow the spent rockets away from the climbing spacecraft two minutes into launch. They also control the separation of the external fuel tank when it is Birthday nde... Page 20A empty. The astronauts' first order of busi-ness on the flight is the launch of SBS 4, a communications satellite owned by Satellite Business Sys-tems, that relies on a commercially developed solid rocket booster blamed for the loss of two satellites in February. Discovery's primary payload is made up of what was to have been flown on the shuttle's first two mis-sions But the second flight, also sched-uled for Aug 29, was canceled after the shuttle's aborted launch June 26 and the payloads of the first two mis-sions were combined to lessen the impact of the delay on NASA's pay-ing customers. Discovery's first launch try failed June 25 when a backup flight com-puter broke down. While the cause of the abort 24 hours later is not fully understood,, engineers suspect tiny particles in a main engine fuel- val- ve assembly in- terfer- red with the valve's operation, prompting engine shutdown four sec-onds from Iftoff. The revised cargo includes Ameri-can Telephone & Telegraph Co.' s Telstar 3, the identical SBS 4 and Syncom 4, a radio relay station leased by the Navy for $ 83.7 million over the next five years and an ex-perimental solar cell array. The mission is a milestone for the space agency not only because Dis-covery is an untried shuttle but also because Telstar and SBS rely on rocket motors called payload assist modules to get their boost to orbits 22,300 miles above the equator where objects appear stationary relative to Earth. Telstar and SBS cost about $ 35 million each and each company paid about $ 10 million for the shuttle launch They are both insured for about $ 100 million the amount that would be needed to replace and re-launch them at current prices. Record heat sizzles Tigers' scoreboard By Andrew Ezer and Chela Caughron Ml8SOurlan staff writers Columbia sweltered under record- breaki- ng heat Tuesday as tempera-tures soared to 106 degrees, appar-ently touching off a fire under the main scoreboard at Faurot Field and forcing the University to issue a peak energy alert. Weather forecasters predict no re- k- ef for at least a week from the heat, which broke 100 degrees for the first time this summer. That same heat has been tenta-tively listed as the culprit for an electrical fire Tuesday under the main scoreboard at Faurot Field, a University official said. The fire was detected at 4- 3- 0 p. m. and contained in a toll box directly below the scoreboard, according to Assistant Athletic Director Joe Cas- tiglio- ne The toll box contains elec-trical circuits that link a computer to the scoreboard. Casbglione didn't say when the scoreboard will be fixed, but he said he hopes it will be operational by the tune the Tiger football team plays its first homegame Sept. 15. The cost of damages were not known Tuesday, but Cashglione said it will cost the University a mini-mum of $ 10,000 to have the toll box See SCOREBOARD, Page 20A Michtli Cardon TrenI Bushner Shoppers browse through the old Gmelich and Schmidt Jewel ry Co. in Boonville Everything -- n the store, which closed in De cember, was auctioned off Tuesday At left, Tom Baird of Olathe, Kan , looks at the store's trademark, an old dummy watch and Tiffany- styl- e stained- glas- s dome crafted around the turn of the century On the auction Mock Boonville jewelry store puts a bit of history up for sale By Jol Morris Mlssourlan staff writer BOONVILLE In a town that takes pnde in its historic structures, a bit of history went to the auction block Tuesday. Gmelich and Schmidt Jewelry Co , established in 1860, closed its doors on Christmas Eve, 1983 On Tuesday, the owners sold everything remain-ing of the store. " I didn't realize how many things we had in here," said store owner George Lamm of the hundreds of items scattered throughout the store and the lot behind the building Gmelich and Schmidt Watchmak-ers and Jewelers was founded by Ja-cob Frederick Gmelich, a German immigrant, in Boonville. The busi-ness later moved to its current loca-tion, 309 Main St For the past nine months, Lamm has been trying to sell the business but found no buyer Finally, he was forced to liquidate More than 100 people came to the sale of hundreds of items ranging from gold watches crafted in 1875 to watch cases from the 1980s. One remaining bit of history was a sales ledger from 1862, along with artifacts from the 20th centurj , . such as an Oct 25, 1935, issue of the Boon-ville Advertiser Lamm decided to sell the property in December so he could retire to Nehi Lake Lamm said he wants to be able to get up in the morning and go fishing He also has a traiW and plans to do some traveling The Boonville native began work-ing in the jewelry store 37 years ago He purchased the business in 1961 The building, built in 1863, is a pre-cious piece of history many local residents do not want to see de-stroyed They are concerned about the fu-ture of the historical building, just south of the Missouri River bridge on the north end of Mam Street, Lamm said Above the storefront hangs a large dummy watch bearing the company name over a oneof- a- kin- d tiffany style stained glass dome and win-dow, installed around the turn of the century The green and gold, eight- fo- ot dome and art- dec- o stained glass win- - See WINDOWFRONT, Page 20A Battle lines drawn on farm bill By Evan Miller Mfssourlan staff writer The battle over the 1935 farm bill is being fought by Goliaths Davids need not apply for this job. Agribusiness giants such as Car- gil- l, Monsanto, J. R. Reynolds and John Deere are squaring off against lobbyists from groups representing the nations' wheat, soybean and corn producers, as well as the National Farmers' Union, the National Farm-ers Organization and the American Farm Bureau. The Farm Bureau is the nation's largest voluntary general farm orga-nization and the group is using all its influence to ensure that Farm Bu- - I oMniKnr. reau views on the farm bill are heard. " The 1985 farm bill is a priority is-sue for the Farm Bureau," Dean Kleckner, president of the Iowa Farm Bureau, told one of the first House hearings in February. " Work is already under way in the Farm Bureau to ensure a maximum amount of input to the legislative process in development of the 1985 farm bill." As the commodity and agribusi-ness interests grow larger in num-ber, farm groups are becoming in- - creasingly worried that their voices will not be heard. " The possibility exists that others will take over," says Bob Hipzhusen, director of national legislative pro-grams for the Missouri Farm Bu-reau. " People are coming out of the woodwork." The farmers' complaints do not re-ceive much sympathy from agribusi-ness. " We have a legitimate interest in the bill," says Don Slocum, public affairs director for the agricultural division of Monsanto. Farmer groups are at a disadvan-tage not only because they are few in Sec FARMERS, Page 20A L 1 Medical school to fill administrative gaps; search for fiscal officer ranks as priority By Tom Warhover Mlssourlan staff writer -- The University School of Medi-cine will begin filling three posi-tions for associate and assistant deans, and the search for candi-dates will be confined to Universi- S- r staff and local physicians, Wil- a- m Bradshaw, the school's new dean, said Tuesday. Bradshaw said he has begun searching for a fiscal officer who will hold the rank of assistant dean. Assistant deans for student affairs dean and academic affairs will also be sought The announcement came at an " unofficial meeting" of about 200 faculty, hospital staff and students who came to hear Bradshaw's first address as dean. Provost Ron Bunn announced two weeks ago that Bradshaw would serve a two- ye- ar term as dean. Bradshaw had served as interim dean during a 16- mo- nth search for the school's new dean Bradshaw had been associate professor of family and community medicine prior to his selection as interim dean, and he had been in charge of all continuing medical education. " I intended to close the chapter as interim dean and begin a new chapter as dean," Bradshaw said after the meeting. Bradshaw now has only two in-terim associate deans Douglas Griggs Jr. for research, and Wal-lace Rogers Jr. for student affairs.
