inter/national news From Associated Press reports Soviet submarine remains grounded STOCKHOLM, Sweden Swedish authorities said Sunday ' there must be some other reason'1 than Soviet bu reacracy keeping a skipper aboard his grounded submarine but they dismissed the pos sibility ot using force to end the stalemate off the Baltic coast Lt Cmdr Pyotr Gushin, the 35-year-old skipper of the Soviet sub, was still refusing Sunday to come ashore for in terrogation despite instructions from the Soviet Embassy here to cooperate with Swedish of ficials The boat ran aground in a restricted area of the Baltic Sea on Tuesday night, about 9'/? miles from the Karlskrona naval base, a key defense installation Gushin has maintained all along that he is awaiting in structions from his naval home base at Kaliningrad. Swedish officials said One theory put forward by the Swedish press is that he is kept on board while being interrogated by Kalinin grad via radio, and that the Soviets want their investigation to take precedence over Sweden's 1980 voter turnout lowest since 1948 WASHINGTON The percentage of people voting in last year's presidential election dropped to its lowest level in three decades, but that's not the way Americans remember it According to a new, unpub lished Census Bureau survey, 59 2 percent of Americans aged 18 and over reported having voted in 1980 That would have topped the percentage turning out in both the 1972 and 1976 elections However, the Federal Elec tion Commission reports that 53 9 percent of those eligible actually voted, the smallest per centage since 1948 when Harry Truman upset a favored Thomas Dewey Prison standoff goes into fifth day GRATERFORD, Pa.

Countdown for Columbia CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. A $2 million, quick-fix water system — designed to keep space shuttle Columbia from being damaged by its own launch-pad shockwaves — was hooked up Sunday during a countdown notable mostly for its smoothness Space agency officials remained optimistic about a Wednesday liftoff, despite tem peramental weather conditions The mission — a rocketship’s first return to orbit — is scheduled to last 83 revolutions, or five days, four hours and 10 minutes The Columbia is making its second test trip into space and NASA engineers have worked for six months to apply lessons learned from Columbia's April 12-14 maiden mission The expensive shock ab sorber involves a flush of 400,000 gallons of water in 35 seconds into the shuttle's launch exhaust It was designed hastily over the past five months to correct the most significant problem during the April flight Though the inaugural launch looked flawless, inspections six weeks later revealed that five struts, supporting two fuel tanks, were bent. Engineers blamed shockwaves bouncing back from the launch pad when the shuttle's rocket boosters ignited at four times the expected pres sure — way beyond the design limits.
