Aerial help sought as California forest fire grows
The U S Forest Service hoped for favorable conditions to deploy air tankers and helicopters over a 4.5 by 2.5 mile area near Somes Bar California where smoke delayed aircraft for two days. The 4800 acre blaze destroyed 69 million board feet of timber valued at 10.3 million. About 1500 firefighters fought to a standstill with a two mile front near Merrill Mountain still out of control. Sprinkler lines tapped creek water at the advancing edge and investigators labeled the fire man caused. A second brush fire near Reno burned over 50000 acres, prompting 1000 firefighters to form a 75 mile containment circle and halt the blaze near Hallelujah Junction. Aircraft dropped retardant to protect the desert landscape.

Skylab 2 Crew Delays Spacewalk After Air Leak
Skylab 2 astronauts fixed a leaking airlock on the space station and reported ongoing motion sickness. Mission commander Alan Bean, Owen Garriott, and Jack Lousma all felt unwell, delaying the first of three planned spacewalks by at least a day. Flight director Donald Puddy warned the delay could trim experiment time but hoped to resume normal flight by Sunday. The leak, in a 14 inch airlock leading to a vacuum trash container, was fixable and not linked to a meteoroid impact.
