Mansfield retirement sparks Democratic bid for Senate leadership
Washington reports that Mike Mansfield's decision to retire triggers a likely Democratic contest for the Senate majority leader post. Senator Muskie announces, challenging Robert Byrd for the job, while Republicans eye Hugh Scott's replacement and potential conservative challenges from John Tower. The moves threaten deep party divisions and could affect House leadership as Speaker Carl Albert weighs another term. Byrd's rise follows a hard work ethic and long loyalty, though observers note his past associations and the need to unify his party.

Viking lander to answer questions about ozone
Unmanned Viking Mars mission set to arrive July 4 to address life on Mars. RCA AE E satellite circling Earth provides data on ozone layer depletion and its impact on health and crops. NASA officials caution one mission won’t resolve the issue but expect clearer answers within a year. Industry moves toward non fluorocarbon aerosol propellants as demand rises. Also notes linguistic coincidence of Libreville and Freetown meanings.
