An investigating board spent the day checking TV tapes of the liftoff taken from different angles and NBC said the focus was on one of the solid rocket boosters. Reporter Jay Barbree said a I'tah study of the film seen by the public seemed to indicate that a splice between two of the booster's four segments sprung a leak and "served like a blowtorch and frame-by-fram- e graveyard of the world."

Inman United Press International CLEAR LAKE CITY, Texas -King Hussein of Jordan, who signed himself a fellow flyer, sent a wreath, thick with white orchids. I I ! i 1 ' ) !, il .1 f A Coco Beach, Fla., Brownie troop sent a basket of live plants, the payment proffered in nickels, dimes and quarters. Fortune 500 companies, including Rockwell and International Business Machines, sent gargantuan floral displays, and a lone NASA tracking station in the Atlantic sent a spray of red, white and blue carnations. The flowers, uncounted tens of thousands, arriving in van loads by the hour, will grace a memorial service the National Aeronautics and Space Administration is holding Friday for the seven astronauts who perished aboard the shuttle Challenger. Not since the death of Elvis Presley have so many Americans sent so many flowers to a single place, said Judy Yovanovich, spokeswoman for Florists Transworld Delivery, better known as FTD. The deaths struck a chord. Special orders have glutted retail establishments throughout the Houston area, stretching to the limit the ability of shops to fill them on time. Were going crazy here," puffed Janice Titloff, owner of Clear Lake Flowers, who said more than 100 or- - ders have poured in since the Tuesday tragedy. The death touched off such an outpouring of flowers that FTD dispatched a special project "liaison and trouble-shoote- r from his Michigan headquarters. These shops are not used to handling this crush of business, said Yois vanovich.

Where did the orders come from? A large number are being shipped from the Hawaiian Islands, florists say, in honor of Hawaiian-bor- n astronaut, Ellison Onizuka. Hussein and Queen Noor sent their gift on behalf of the royal family and the people of Jordan. Said Jordanian Counsel Sabir Amawi: The whole globe is mourning Americas heroes. We feel we are members of an international family. This is a token from our people to your people.

But the House opts to do away with Lincolns birthday while the Sen- would ate eradicate Co- i persona- l-preference lumbus Day and the Democrats charge .! i t political she- nanigans in the whole deal. 3 Following the Houses t That bill, HB186, would replace Lincoln's birthday with the King Day, so Utah would not add another holiday by honoring the slain civil rights leader. Sen. Williams, Lake, said he had no problem with that concept, even though it differed from his original proposal to replace the day now enjoyed by state employees with the King day. But after senators initially refused to consider Sen. Williams bill, they finally agreed to debate it, then changed it into a form that even the sponsor of the House bill said he could not support. After the initial rejection, Sen. Karl Swan, pleaded with the Senate to bring up Sen. Williams bill, SB17, and pass it on to the House so that bill could be law rather than the House bill sponsored by Rep. Robert Sykes, lead Wednesday in passing a bill to create a King holiday on the third Monday of January, the Senate passed its own version Thursday. The Senate's action, however, increases the doubt that the Utah Legislature will end its general session this year with a King holiday at all. The controvi rsv began when Sen. Terry Williams, the originl sponsor of the hll, p uested his measure be considered by the Senate so he could amend it to be consistent with the bill that passed the House on Wednesday. Lake. Out of respect to the only black citizen ever to be elected as a member of this body, it is only appropriate that Sen. Williams be the sponsor of the Martin Luther King bill that finally passes the Legislature, Sen. Swan said. He added that if senators held See Column 1 lt A-- sonal interest in the space program and his background as a pilot, said Amawi. Ann Yanme, owner of La Mariposa Gardens, was touched by the small anonymous gifts. Many people simply ordered a single red rose. Nothing else. They did not leave their names on a card The tiny city of Port LaVaca, Texas, sent an unadorned basket of spring flowers, as did the crew of a Bermuda tracking station which watched the Challenger disappear from radar screens moments after launch. Spring flowers seem very appropriate, said Yanme. They symbolize hope and rebirth, a new beginning." The arrangements span in price from $5 to many hundreds of dollars, the larger gifts coming from NASA subcontractors. After the service the flowers will go to nursing homes and hospitals and charitable organizations for the most part. Those so designated will be given to the relatives of the deceased. However, noted a spokesman for the Johnson Space Center, the last thing some of these families need are truck loads of plants unloaded on their doorstep. But I am sure they will be touched that so many people expressed themselves this way. It is truly a magnificent gesture by the people ot America.

But in resuming arguments initiated earlier this week, House Minority obLeader Mike Dmitrich, jected to HB154 prohibiting the distribution of free samples of smokeless products. If the intent was to protect minors, another statute forbids providing minors with all tobacco items, he said. However, Rep. Maxfield said the 49-1- state promotes education programs whose message is tobacco is harmful, regardless of age. If were going to spend money telling them how bad it is, then why let them give it away?" he countered. asMsono Rep. Dmitrich tried in vain to eliminate language in the bill that indicates the Utah Legislature formally accepts medical studies that suggest links to smokeless tobacco and cancer and other diseases.
