CAPE CANAVERAL., Ha-The shuttle Columbia testing a fuel saving maneuver 186 miles above Earth, experienced "unexplained torque" yesterday that caused a series of harmless pitch and roll movements. The phenomenon went away as mysteriously as it began and officials were curious but not worried.

The crew's health is excellent the guys are really jubilant," said Flight Director Harold Draughon. "They are up and around with no problem at all and doing more than we ask of them."
