2The Daily Tar Heel Wednesday, September 7, 1988 World ae System p rob leoi traps meo i o space From Associated Press reports MOSCOW Two cosmonauts from the Soviet Union and Afghan istan aborted their return to Earth on Tuesday after a malfunctioning guidance system sent them toward a landing in China. They were reported low on food and oxygen. "Accident: The engine worked 60 seconds and shut off. A violation of the stabilization regime," Soviet cosmonaut Vladimir Lyakhov, 47, told mission control in an exchange reported by the government news paper Izvestia. Soviet news reports emphasized that 29-year-old Abdul Ahad Mph mand, the first Afghan in space, and Lyakhov were not in immediate danger but indicated the situation could become critical unless they descend soon. Lyakhov, a military pilot who has flown in space twice before, and Mohmand, an Afghan air force pilot, were to try again early Wednesday to bring the Soyuz TM-5 space capsule to a soft landing on the steppes of Uzbekistan in Soviet Central Asia, a Soviet space official told The Associated Press. James Oberg, a U.S. expert on the Soviet space program who is familiar with , the Soyuz TM-5 design, said time is running out. "If they cannot make the burn tonight to push them back into the atmosphere, they will probably only live another 24 to 48 hours before the carbon dioxide building in the capsule will kill them," Oberg said in an interview with AP in Houston. The Soyuz capsule is designed for trips to and from space, not for long flights. Izvestia and the official news agency Tass said life support systems on the globe-shaped capsule are designed to last two days, which could put the cosmonauts in jeopardy Thursday morning. According to the Soviet space official, however, the cosmonauts! could stretch supplies of oxygen, water and food for up to a week. After that the capsule would be like "a lone boat in the ocean, he said, speaking on condition of anonymity. He did not explain how the air supply could be extended. ' Dukakis criticizes. Bosh for comment From Associated Press reports Democrat Michael Dukakis and Republican George Bush, offering starkly different views of the nation's economy, headed today into the decisive two months of the 1988 presidential campaign, with Dukakis saying Republicans "love to blame American workers first." In a speech prepared for delivery to Polish-Americans in a Chicago suburb, the Massachusetts governor' saluted the Polish union Solidarity and went on to describe Bush as insensitive to American workers. Bush was campaigning oh the West Coast, and President Reagan was hitting the campaign trail on his vice president's behalf. Ending a vacation at his California ranch, Reagan was speaking in Nebraska and to the American Legion convention in -Kentucky before returning to the White .House. During Labor Day appearances and again today, Dukakis recalled Bush's praise of Soviet tank mechan ics during a European trip last fall. "Send them to Detroit, we could use that kind of ability," Bush said after being told of a trouble-free Soviet tank maneuver. Later, he apologized to U.S. autoworkers, adding, "Hey, give me a break; I didn't mean anything by it." Dukakis said Tuesday, "Do you really believe we in America have anything to learn from a society where workers have no rights, con sumers have no choices and even Mr. Gorbachev admits their economy is a shambles? Those Republicans in Washington love to blame American workers first." In an interview published Tuesday in the Washington Post, Republican vice presidential candidate Dan Quayle said he saw little difference between Soviet leader Mikhail Gor bachev and his predecessors. Quayle described Gorbachev's reforms as "nothing more than refined Stalinism." The Indiana senator said Gorba chev "has a different approach to things, and his mannerisms and style are unfortunately pleasing to the West ... unfortunately because I don't think from an ideological point of view he's any different from (Leonid) Brezhnev or anybody else."

Thirteen major fires have burned roughly 1 million acres in Yellow stone and the surrounding national forests in Wyoming, Montana and Idaho. Elsewhere, a fire in parched grass and pine in central Washington exploded overnight from just 160 acres Monday to more than 25,000 acres Tuesday. The fire sent firefightr ers fleeing and overtook at least one bulldozer that could not move fast enough, said Art Tasker of the state Department of Natural Resources. It burned toward some of the state's prime fruit orchards. CARLOS SOS A' X GRANT JONES SUSAN KRUSE HOLLY A. VAN DEURSEN 47 U v s '7 HfllX Structural Engineering.

Underground leaders, mean while, distributed a new leaflet in the occupied territories calling on Palestinians to attack Israeli targets with "more firebombs and more stones, everywhere and anywhere."

He told me he had information about drug trafficking in Robeson County and that it involved local officals . . . He was scared for his life."
