ERIDAY, MARCH X9> 1965 Spacemen Young, Grissom Set, For Flight U.S. Hopes to Save Face With Space Doubleheader CAPE ^NNEDY, (UPI) -Two U S. astronauts and a moon probe, badly upstaged by a Russian who does somersaults in< space, will try to save a little national face in a cosmic double-, header starting Sunday. The astronauts, John W. Young and Virgil I. Grissom, planned to take part today in a workout of the worldwide, 15-station network that will follow their three-orbit course through the sky Tuesday. The probe, a package pf cameras named Ranger 9, was dne today for a final “Bimnlated’* eoantdown la preparation for its scheduled 249,IN nhile pictnre^taking voyage to fke moon. Ranger 9 is expected to blast off aboard’a silvery Atlas-Agena rocket Sunday afternoon. If techpical, medical and weather experts give a go-ahead, Grissom and Young will depart aboard a Titan 2 rocket on a fivo;hour orbital flight at 9 a m. EST Tuesday. * ,a. ★ But the llm^ght belonged to Russian cosmonaut Alexie Leonov, who rode a 11,000-pound Voskhod 2 ship into orbit yesterday and proceeded to regale television viewers on the ground with a spectacular demonstration of floating and turning somersaults in space outside his capsule. NO FLOATING The United States plans opening of hatches, no fl( no somersaults and no television pictures for GrissOm and Young. The astronauts are to sit still, inanipulate some controls and get dpWn at the end of three orblto.' This is/&ie same distance U.S. spabe capsules were flying thi^ years ago. The record is orbits held by Russia. Grissom and Young were due up for more ground simulations that shaped up as about the same thing they have been doing for the past several months. Sunday, they are supposed to go get final medical examinations from space agency doctors. ★ ★ * • Weather, as always, remained a threat to the Cape Kennedy preparations. Early long-range forecasts called for a “less than desirable” outlook in the spaceport area for Tuesday. rk ' ' ■ -k ★ The forecast came from space agency weathermen, whose low batting average with predictions once persuaded the agency to try to make all official U.S. weather forecasts in Florida a matter of secrecy. Voters Veto Income Levy (Continued From Page One) fence straddlers and n o n c o m-mittal people and organizations that failed to take a stand or give support for fear of hurting someone’s feelings or themselves. REAL SOLUTIONS “Nor did they offer to come forward with any real solutions or attempt t6 find out the real problems,” continued Taylor. The mayor also hit at arguments that a committee be appointed to study the city’s financial woes. “It would appear that l»th those working for and against the tax gave both sides of the issue very clearly.” Charles Nasstrom, chairman of the Citizens Committee on Taxation, said that his group concentrated on those precincts that in the past have had a high voter turnout. HERRINGTON HILLS He cited the Herrington Hills area and Precincts 7 and 39 as examples, Precinct 7, located at Herrington School, turned back the income tax 282 to 74, a difference of 208. Precinct 39 at Washington Junior High Schoirt rejected the tax 179 to 89. Nasstrom’s committee, which petitioned for yesterday’s referendum, was the only organized opposition to the income levy.

It resulted from a 1962 school board ruling that anytime less than 50 per ..^cent of senior class members from either school registered for the trip, the entire program would end. Interest has been dwindling in recent years at Waterford Township High School, and this year only 47 per cent of the present senior class members made plans for the trip. This doomed the program. At Waterford Kettering High School, however, interest in the senior trip remained high with some 60 per cent of the class members scheduled for the trip. The board considered canceling this spring’s trips but decided,, to allow them when Roy J. Alexander, secondary school coordinator for the school system, |Said that deposits would 1^ lost if these trips were ruied out. Order Ruby Moved DALLAS (UPI) — Sheriff Bill Decker today ordered con demned slayer Jack Ruby taken out of the Dallas (bounty Jail and moved across town to the federal building for a defense attempt to put the question of his sanity before a federal court. The killer of presidential assassin Lee Harvey Oswald' has not been out of the Dallas County Criminal Courts Building, where the jail and county courtrooms are, since January 1964. He was taken twice to a psychiatric clinic for brain wave tests. Sam Houston Clinton, 41, lawyer for the Texas Civil Liberties Union, filed a petition in federal court yesterday, asking that a scheduled trial on Rubv’s sanity be taken out of the hands of State District Judge Joe B. Brown and turned over to U.S. District Judge T. Whitfield Davidson.

Photo is from Moscow television screen of picture transmitted from space craft, Soviet officials said. Cable was Leonov’s only tie to craft. Projection at right carries movie camera photographing his feat, Red Spaceship Lands (Continued From Page One) tains. Half the area is forested and unfit for a landing, but there is a plain. Whatever the success of the landing, Tass said Belyayev and Leonov hadhearried out their experiment successfully. The spaceship was steered down by manual controls by Belyayev, the announcement said. . „ *■ * ★ Belyayev and Leonov “feel well,” Tass added. “The scientific program has been fully accomplished.” NOT EXPLAINED The delay in announcing the landing was not Immediately explained. The ship came down SM miles northwest of the usual cosmonaut landing area of Soviet central Asia and southwest Siberia, north of the ^ launching center at Baikonur. The landing of the two cosmonauts inside their spaceship, fol- lowed the pattern of the Voskhod 1, the first muitimanned Soviet capsule named with the Russian word for sunrise. It spent 24 hours in orbit last Oct. 12-13. Voskhod 2 was up 26 hours. ★ , k k Earlier Soviet space flights in the Vostok series of capsules required the cosmonauts to parachute from the craft. But the Voskhod series is equipped for soft landings on retroactive jets, a report on Voskhod 1 said. PREVIOUS ANNOUNCEMENT Tile last previous official announcement by the Soviets was 5:30 a.m. — 9:30 p.m. Eastern Standard Time — which said the men had completed 13 orbits. Japanese government radio listening posts speculated that that the spacecraft had landed about 3:41 a.m. Eastern Standard Time after completing its 17th orbit. They reported that signals from the capsule which they were monitoring stopped at that time and were not heard again. ★. k''^'k The West German Space Observatory in Bochum said Soviet ground stations at 2:50 a.m. Eastern Standard Time instructed Voskhod’s crew to switch from automatic to hand piloting. IN ORBIT The spaceship then Had been in orbit nearly 25 hours and should have completed 16 orbits. Bochum said on Voskhod’s next orbit signals were received from the ship with over 10 minutes delay. “We deduce from that delay that the space ship was already reducing speed and had started braking for a possible landing operation,” the spokesman said. k k k The world’s space scientists acclaimed copilot Leonov’s sally outside the two-man capsule lliursday as a feat which put the Soviet Union even- more months ahead of the United States in the race for a manned moon landing. Cite Problem of Emergencies Overload at Hospital Forcing Cancellations Pontiac General Hospital trustees last night expressed concern over the hospital’s emergency room load and the resulting cancellation of scheduled admissions. Harold B. Euler, hospital administrator, touch^ off the discussion by reporting to the board of trustees that 29 admissions, 20 of them slated for surgery, had been canceled yesterday. * Although the hospital has only seven “holding” beds in the emergency ward, Euler said that emergency cases are averaging 50 per cent of the hospital’s weekly admissions. Euler said the trustees ivere concerned about the equitable distribution of emergency service throughout the community. k k k •'hie administrator added that 15-20 per cent of the 85-90 patients seen daily through the emergency ward are admitted to regular hospital beds. 5 WEEKS IN ADVANCE Cancellations have been necessary, he said, even though surgery is being scheduled five weeks in advance. Trustees urged a community approach to the emergency On a related topic, iSluIer was directed io come up with a program to control the number of vlsltorO per patient and the smoking of visilhrs in patient areas. ^ » In other business last nl_ the trustee board okayed the purchase of 47 electric beds and six adult beds for the hospital. COST SHARED Cost of the electric beds of $27,683 is to be divided evenly with the women’s auxiliary. The hospital’s share will come from depreciation funds. The $1,616 for the six adult beds will come from the same fund, Euler said the new beds ,wlll mean that all adult beds in the hospital have now been replaced since IMl.
