Astronauts Cleared for Space Walk on Skylab 2 Mission
Skylab 2 astronauts Garriott and Lousma received medical clearance for a thrice-delayed space walk on Saturday. Doctor Paul Buchanan said no physical reason prevents EVA, though earlier motion sickness and workshop repairs slowed progress. They aim to unfurl a sunshade and service solar telescopes while conducting medical tests to study adaptation to weightlessness.

Early End To Beef Freeze Unlikely Says Butz
Agriculture Secretary Earl L. Butz expressed sympathy for the meat industry while not pledging an early lift of the beef price freeze. He met with about 50 industry reps in Washington as reports of shutdowns grow. Officials say Sept. 12 remains the cutoff, with industry-wide layoffs and shortages already spreading to stores and hospitals. Several packers plan closures and several retailers warn of barren meat cases as inventories dwindle.
