IN BRIEF
From United Press International
Shuttle comes home
EDWARDS AIR FORCE BASE,
Calif. - The shuttle Challenger
landed safely yesterday from a
successful science mission that
almost ended eight days ago in
Spain, demonstrating NASA's
ability to bounce back from adver-
sity.
In contrast to its limp into orbit
with an engine out, the shuttle flew
an on-target re-entry into the at-
mosphere, swept across Southern
California beaches and glided to a
smooth, but dusty touchdown in the
Mojave Desert.
Commander Gordon Fullerton,
co-pilot Roy Bridges, flight
engineer Story Musgrave and
scientists Karl Henize, Anthony
England, Loren Acton and John-
David Bartoe had traveled 3.3
million miles around Earth in the
name of science.
Sexual harassment
case reopens
LANSING - The Michigan
Court of Appeals yesterday
revived a lawsuit charging a
waitress was subjected to sexual
harassment because of the scanty
uniform her employer required her
to wear.
Donna May Slayton's lawyer
said the decision may have far-
reaching effects, but the West
Bloomfield woman did not live to
see her vindication. She died of
cancer last year at age 49.
Slayton said she suffered sexual
discrimination and harassment
and claimed her employer
harassed her into quitting her job
in retaliation for her filing a com-
plaint with the Equal Employment
Opportunity Commission in
federal court.
A Wayne County jury found in
favor of Slayton's employer,
Michigan Host Inc., and one of her
supervisors. A judge ruled in favor
of another supervisor.
Slayton worked in a Detroit
Metropolitan Airport restaurant
operated by Host.
Cosmonauts repair
Soviet space station
MOSCOW - Two cosmonauts
repaired a critical fault in the
power supply of the orbiting
Salyut-7 space station that could
have left it a useless hunk of space
junk and forced the spacemen to
return to Earth, Tass said yester-
day.
In an unusually frank report, the
official Soviet news agency said
that because two solar batteries on
the outside of the station were not
aligned correctly, the supply
system failed and the instruments,
food and water inside the capsule
were frozen.
Crash sparks lawsuit
GRAPEVINE, Texas - In-
vestigators yesterday moved part
of the wreckage of Delta Flight 191
to a hanger used as a makeshift
morgue following the crash that
killed 133 people, and lawyers in
Miami filed the first lawsuits
stemming from the disaster.
"The tail section has been moved
over to the hanger,". Matt
Guilfoyle, a Delta spokesman, said
yesterday. "We got the authority
(from the National Transportation
Safety Board) to move that por-
tion."
'Boat ride for peace'
begins in Nicaragua
MANAGUA, Nicaragua -
Members of an American religious
group said they would begin
yesterday a "boat ride for peace"
through battle-torn territory and
would hold President Reagan
responsible if they are attacked by
anti-government rebels.
The trip by 31 Americans, 19 of
them from the New York area, is
sponsored by Witness for Peace -
an ecumenical Christian
organization founded two years
ago to protest Reagan ad-
ministration support for the Con-
tras. They planned to leave yester-
day for a two-day trip along the
San Juan River.
