The astronauts completed the missions No. 1 objective nine and a half hours later when they sent a powerful television satellite spinning out of the ship's cargo bay, earning NASA $14 million in delivery fees. "Excellent work Columbia, said Jim Wetherbee in mission control. "Youve given us a lot of hard work over the past couple of months and we really appreciate it. Wetherbee said the satellite successfully fired its own rocket motor 45 minutes after it was launched and its on its way toward a stationary orbit 22,300 miles above the Earth.

The astronauts CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. (AP) aboard the space shuttle Columbia decided to give technology a helping hand Sunday: They carried good luck charms, and one wore a Groucho Marx mask. The charms may not have made the difference, but something did the trick as Columbia finally got off the ground after seven postponements. The orbiter, carrying a crew of seven, thundered away from Earth at 6:55 a.m. EST to kick off Americas busiest year in space with the first of 15 scheduled shuttle launches. The control center didnt elaborate on the crews good luck charms, but said astronaut Steve Hawley wore the mask to fool Columbia into thinking a different crew was boarding. The launch team also erected a large cardboard four-lea- f clover over the spacecraft entry hatch. It bore the words "Good luck! Commander Robert Gibson indicated he was confident when he radioed as he slipped into the cockpit and observed the clear sky, I think weve got a winner today. - NEW YORK (UPI) Secretary of State George Shultz Sunday opened a conference of international writers, punctuated by hissing and delegates who resented the appearance of a representative from adPresident Reagans ministration. The 48th PEN International Conference opened in the reading room of the New York Public Library with a defense of Shultz's appearance by PEN president Norman Mailer, who said he was delighted a represents tive of the Reagan administration was attending. It meant the government of the United States, no matter how far right, was willing to recognize authors, Mailer said. Some 65 writers including E.L. Doctorow, John Irving, Susan Sontag and Grace Paley brought a petition to the conference opposing Shultzs appearance because the Reagan administration "excluded many writers from the United States using the McCarran-Walte- r Act and because your administration supports governments that silence, imprison, even torture their citizens for their beliefs. But Shultz, in an impassioned speech, told the writers, poets, novelists and interpreters the United States is a staunch supporter of freedom of expression. far-rig- ht By Daniel Q. Haney AP Science Writer Treatment of SARASOTA, Fla. heart and circulatory disease, by far the countrys main cause of death, will cost an estimated $78.6 billion this year, the American Heart Association said Sunday. Thats a real figure, and its going up, said Dr. Thomas J. Ryan, president of the association. The estimate equals about $325 for every man, woman and child in the United States. The costs include $48.2 billion for" hospital and nursing home services, $13.6 billion for lost work time due to disability, $11.8 billion for doctor bills and $5 billion for medicines. Last year, the association estimated these diseases, which include heart attacks, high blood pressure and strokes, cost $72.1 billion. Ryan said some of the costs might be reduced if physicians would be more discriminating in the ways they use medical technology. For example, even though a patient technically may be a candidate for blood vessel surgery, he said, physicians should learn to ask whether its wise to put him through the procedure. Sometimes, the same results can be achieved through drug therapy, researchers have found. Im not sure that because we can, we should all the time, Ryan said. I Reason for Prison Uprising Sought a written statement, PENDLETON, (UPI) as the dead for Offi- cials searched weapons Sunday while State Police detectives questioned prisoners at the Indiana Reformatory to determine what triggered a short-live- d uprising that claimed the lif-- 1 of one inmate. At least 20 people, including five guards at the maximum security prison, were injured when the melee began about 8 30 p.m. Saturday in the gym where some 300 inmates were at the time, said prison spokesman Sgt. Jim Grindle. About 9 30 everything was pretty well under control, Grindle said. identiHanks, in fied Gary Swafprisoner ford, 30, who was killed about 9 p.m. He was serving a sentence for murder and died from multiple stab wounds in the head and back, officials said. Swafford apparently was not involved in the initial uprising, the statement said. The prison, about 20 miles north of Indianapolis, was under a lockdown Sunday while guards searched for weapons and other contraband, Hanks said. Detectives questioned inmates about the incident, but were not yet certain what sparked the Prison Superintendent Craig Monday, Jaaaary 13, J966 et caught the light like billowing streams of cotton candy.

A few tiles have come off on previous missions without any significant effects to the ship. z, ets Sunday, returning to space after its CLIP & SAVE f Telephone Numbers think weve got to pay attention to the disbursement of this care. The cost figures were in the annual brochure, Heart Facts, released at a science writers forum sponsored by the association. In 1983, the last year for which accurate figures are available, 989,400 Americans died from heart and circulatory diseases, compared with 440,620 who died from cancer and 91,290 from accidents. 55 percent The largest number died of heart attacks, followed by strokes, high blood pressure and rheumatic fever. But the outlook has improved. Deaths from all forms of cardiovascular disease declined 31 percent between 1972 and 1983. The decline has been attributed to such lifestyle changes as better diet and exercise, as well as to improved medical care. Still, more than 63 million Americans, or one in four people, suffers from some form of cardiovascular disease. The most common of these disorders is high blood pressure, which afflicts nearly 58 million people. This figure is nearly 20 million higher than the association estimate last year, because it has changed its definition of the disease to include people with less severely elevated blood pressures.
