One-party rule likely in Jamaica
Jamaica politics center on Prime Minister Edward Seaga as only a few opposition candidates registered for upcoming elections. With 52 of 60 districts reporting, opposition parties have fielded five candidates, ensuring Seaga and his Jamaican Labor Party a minimum of 47 seats and likely all contested seats. The main leftist party boycotted, while Governor General Sir Florizel Glasspole dissolved Parliament at Seaga's request.

Atmospheric emission camera to record faint atmospheric emissions
A US project will test a low light television camera capable of recording faint optical emissions produced by high speed winds and electric fields in Earths atmosphere. The device aims to capture atmospheric dynamics for scientific study and may help observe electrical activity and wind patterns in near space.
Romanians urged to limit television as power crisis deepens
The Romanian government, facing a 50 percent power-cut plan, asked citizens to limit TV viewing and may shutter schools in January to save heating. The move accompanies bans on refrigerators washing machines and vacuum cleaners while authorities claim rising coal output. Foreigners face strict controls and citizens must report conversations, echoing Orwellian surveillance.

West Germany eyes joint space station with US or Europe
German officials praise Spacelab as proof Europe can contribute to space research and seek a major role in a future U S space station or an independent European platform. They see Columbus Project as a long term option, with Europe reluctant to build alone if cooperation with the United States is possible. NASA plans a 200 million start in 1985, but costs and mission clarity remain debated.
