PHILADELFIltA Walter Mondale Tuesday
niht defeated Gary Hrjrt in the key Pennsyl
vania primary, sweeping fax out La front in the
Democratic presidential nomination race and
leaving Hart to grope for some way to recover.
The former vice president beat the Colorado
senator decisively enough li thli fau.rth-b!v2st
US. stats to erare any doubt sJb-out th e renewed
rlor of his candidacy znd to rci:e questions
about how hb your.j rival can nov fashion a
comeback of hh own.
Vlth 40 per cent of the vote counted, lion
dale had 45 percent, Hart 35 and black rights
leader Jesse Jackson 20.

on the basis of voter interviews that llondale
would hold his 10-point lead once all ballots
were counted as people across the state
expressed preference for his message of expe

in 1 1 states and lost only three to him in three
weeks, called Pennsylvania, "A major step "
Spokesman denies Soviet charge
WASHINGTON The State Department
Tuesday denied a Soviet charge it might deny
entry to the United States of athletes partici
pating in the summer Olympics in Los Angeles.
Spokesman John Hughes confirmed that the
department had asked for the names of all
athletes in advance but said this was "designed
simply to ensure the smooth and efficient
entry of such persons when they arrive." He
told reporters no athlete would be denied
entry if he or she had an Olympic Identity card,
validly issued by a national Olympic commit
tee. The Soviet National Olympic Committee
accused the United States Monday of several
Olympic charter violations, including a de
mand for lists of names of athletes so it could
decide whether to deny visas.

The astronauts, who originallywere to return
home Thursday, were given instructions for
landing here on Friday.
There w as no formal announcement of the
extension and the reasons for it were not
immediately known.
The crew, one of the least talkative of the 1 1
shuttle crews, did not comment on the exten
sion of their flight from six to seven days before
they went to sleep.
New birth control pill marketed
NEW YORK A subsidiary of the Johnson
and Johnson company said Tuesday it was
marketing a new form of birth-control pill
designed to substantially reduce the risk of
side effects.
The Ortho Pharmaceutical Corp. said the
pill, called a triphasic oral contraceptive, is
formulated to more closely match the monthly
female hormonal cycle than traditional com
pounds. The pill has been marketed in Europe and in
Canada for about a year, Ortho assistant
director of clinical research Freedolph Ander
son said.
The pilL called Ortho-Novura 7-7-7, has three
different ratios of the synthetic hormones
estrogen and progestogen, one for each of the
first three weeks of the monthly cycle.
