Skylab Crew Selections Stir Scientists Over Backgrounds
Scientists complain Skylab crews favor pilots over scientists with only three of nine berths allocated to science specialists. The first three-man crew includes Commander Charles Conrad and Dr. Joseph Kerwin with Paul Weitz as pilot, while concerns rise about long term health monitoring aboard the orbital lab.

Canada imposes partial seal hunt ban off Labradors coast
The government, urged by an advisory panel, restricts the seal hunt by banning aircraft and ships in the gulf. Norway agrees to cap this year's catch at 150000 pelts, down from 245000 last year, allowing shore and small-boat hunting under ice conditions. Fisheries Minister Jack Devis says the measure lasts only for this year. The Fund for Animal Welfare backs the action, while Conservative MPs denounce it as yielding to pressure groups. Leader Jack Marshall warns the herd could rise to 12 million by 2000, impacting fish resources.
