By United Press International
Thousands of visitors have been allowed inside the sprawling Florida spaceport to view past launches.
But Discovery's mission is the first fully classified American manned space flight, and the Air Force is going to great lengths to keep details of the mission under wraps.
If all goes well, the shuttle will take off next Wednesday sometime between 12:15 p.m. and 3:15 p.m. CST.
The exact launch time is secret to prevent Soviet tracking stations from locking onto the shell or its
classified payload, which defraces sources say is an Air Force "signals intelligence" spy satellite.
THE SHIP WILL be manned by Navy Capt. Thomas Mattingly, Air Force Lt. Col. Corps Shriver, Marine Corps Lt. Col. James Buchli, Air Force Maj. Ellison Onizuka and Air Force Mair. Gary Payton, the first of 25 Defense Department shuttle fliers.
Space 'agency spokesman Charles Redmond said only about 200 guests will be allowed on the base for Discovery's launch because "a goal of the Air Force is to minimize public."
The guest restrictions are in keeping with the unprecedented security measures for this first military shuttle mission.

6 helicopter crewmen die in crash into ship
By United Press International
HONLULU — An Air Force rescue helicopter crashed in flames on the deck of a merchant ship while trying to land for evacuation of a critical shipwreck, six of crewmen aboard were killed, officials said yesterday.
The bodies of six victims were recovered. The seventh crewman was missing and presumed dead.
The HH-53 helicopter, from Hickam Air Force Base, crashed Tuesday while landing to pick up a sailor from the 620-foot, Panama-registered freighter Asian Beauty 540 miles north of Honolulu.
The Air Force said three seamen suffered minor injuries putting out the fire.
Also along on the rescue mission were a companion HH-53 helicopter and two Air Force C-130 refueling planes. The rescue helicopter reportedly hit the deck during its first pass
over the ship, scattering wreckage over a wide area.
THE AIR FORCE said the relatives of all seven victims, from the 6594 Test Group at Hickam, had been notified.
The bodies of two victims were returned to Honolulu on Tuesday night. They were identified at the Army's Central Identification Laboratory as Staff Sgt. John Gilbert of Advance, N.C., a para-rescueman, and Staff Sgt. Kyle Marshall, a flight engineer from Waxahache, Texas.
Both vessels were expected to dock in Honolulu today.
The Coast Guard said plans were being made to transfer the bodies of the four other victims from the Asian Beauty to the Coast Guard cutter 340 miles north-northwest of Honolulu yesterday morning.
Coast Guard spokesman Bob Jones said a boarding party from the Munro determined that the condition of the uniformified British seaman had stabilized.

WASHINGTON — A consumer group urged the Federal Trade Commission yesterday to immediately require warnings in all aspirin advertisements that would say the product is "strongly linked" to otent-fat Reve's Syndrome in children treated for flu or chicken in food.

A spokesman for Miller, Susan Ticknor, said the commission had not yet received the request, but "we do have measures we can take to act quickly" if the situation is an emergency.
THE CONSUMER GROUP cited a new Centers for Disease Control pilot study, released last week, that said children given aspirin for chicken

Health and Human Services Secretary Margaret Heckler cited the study in asking aspirin makers to put warning labels on their products, pending a final study to be completed by the end of 1986.
ADAMS, WHO WAS a consultant on the program, had testified earlier that the alleged falsification of the U.S. military records in the history of the U.S. military.
Aspirin makers agreed to develop labels and are meeting with Food and Drug Administration officials to work out the wording.
