The crew and Mission Control were working on the problem today, testing the motor and looking for any possible obstruction at the top of the tower. The snag forced NASA to put on hold a risky experiment in which the astronauts are supposed to generate electricity by dragging the full length of the slender cord through Earth's magnetic field at 17,500 mph. NASA added an eighth day to Atlantis' mission because of the problem and a delay in releasing another satellite over the weekend. The flight will end Saturday. The astronauts were supItalposed to unreel the half-to- n ian satellite Tuesday on 2h miles of the cord, which is as thick as a shoelace. By SUSAN HIGHTOWER 'SACRAMENTO, Calif. (AP) ' California's budget deadlock is showing signs of hardening as the state's major banks begin refusing to honor IOUs the State has been issuing during negotiations. The Republican governor and the Legislature's Democratic leaders have been unable to agree on how to erase $6 billion in red ink in the new state budget. The deficit would grow to $1 1 billion if spending continued at current levels. Gov. Pete Wilson said Tuesday the sides were stuck on a key rehow much money maining issue to provide to local governments and how much counties should be ordered to spend on local welfare programs. at- Associated Press Writer SPACE CENTER, Houston Atlantis' astronauts today reeled in some of the cord towsatellite above the ing a half-to- n shuttle to try to clear a jam in the 12 line, but failed on their fourth try to fully deploy the craft. Payload commander Jeffrey Hoffman this morning slowly spooled in nearly 90 feet of the 850 feet of tether connecting the Italian Space Agency's satellite to the shuttle. NASA managers hoped by backing up, then rolling out the tether faster than before, they could free the line from where they believed it was caught, as if on a balky fishing reel. But when the astronauts tried to further release the satellite, the motor that pulls the tether off the spool and keeps it taut did not engage. A problem with le House approves child support bill - ParWASHINGTON (AP) ents who flee to another state to avoid making child support payments would be subject to federal criminal penalties under legislation approved by the House. " The action, on a voice vote without dissent Tuesday evening, came just hours after a federal commission recommended federal criminal sanctions as part of a broader d reform of the nation's child support system. The bill, which was sent to the Senate, would establish a penalty of six months in prison and $5,000 fine for interstate flight to avoid child support obligations. For repeat violations, two years in prison and fines of up to $250,000 could be imposed. fiber-and-wi- 40-fo- Associated Press Writer WASHINGTON Congressional Democrats, who had hoped bill beto bring an abortion-right- s fore the House and Senate just before the Republican convention, are worried they do not have enough votes and may delay action.

With President Bush expected to veto the bill if passed, Democrats had hoped to use the bills to force the abortion issue fully into the presidential race. Their presumption is that Democratic nominee Bill Clinton, an advocate of legal abortions, would benefit because of polls showing general support for maintaining the right to an abortion. Supporters say they are confident they have the support of a Senate majority, but are concerned they are short of the 60 votes needed to cut off a filibuster and bring the issue to a vote. - President ' Bush says his Democratic rival is "a man I like," but quickly adds he can't wait to do battle against him.
