DiscoVerer XI
In0rbit, Planes
Await Capsule
Recovery Sought
AS First Step for
Man to Enter Space

VANDENBERG AIR FORCE
BASE, Calf. April 16 (AP)-
Giant Air Force Flying Box
cars circling near Hawaii play
a taut game of catch today
with the whizzing DiScoverer
XI satellite.
The game: To net a para
chuting 27-by-33 inch 300
pound capsule after it's elected
by the satellite blasted into
Polar orbit yesterday from this
seaside missile base.
If successful, the recovery
paves the way for sending
animals and then men irto
space and bringing them back.
The capsule is packed with in
Struments to sample the condi-
tions man will meet when he
IlrSC goes INTO space.
Air recovery of the capsule
would be a singular first in
mans exploration and con-
quest OF space. Nose cones and
capsules containing animals
have been rocketed into space
and recovered, but none has
been recovered from orbit.
Precise Moment Important
Six of the previous Discov-
erer series have achieved orbit.
Five carried capsules but none
was recovered.
It's a technically tricky ce-
lestial game Of pin the tail on
the donkey" but space experts
are confident it can be accom-
pllshed. Scientists at precisely
the right moment must trigger
the capsule loose from the 49,
foot-long satellite circling the
earth's poles every 80 minutes.
If the button is pushed at
exactly the right time, the cap
Sule will kick loose 200 miles
high near the North Pole and
fall into the 150-by-50 mile
recovery area southwest of
Hawaii.
Eight C-119 cargo planes
trailing huge nets wait for the
capsule. The trick, of course,
is to spot the capsule and its
parachute. At 10000 feet, each
plane is expected to have 10
chances to net the capsule like
a rare butterfly.
Radio Signal Is Guide
The capsule emits q radio
signal for the planes to home
in on. If they miss, surface
SHIPS Will attempt TO nSh the
capsule from the sea.
Meanwhile, the 1,700-pound
satellite, carrying important
data-emitting instruments, will
continue its polar orbit. The
satellite is expected to stay
aloft about 10 days. Farthest
point from the earth on the
satellites orbit is $50 miles, its
closest point 109 miles.
Discoverer XI also carried 10
pounds of equipment for a
tracking experiment, part of
the development program for
the Navy'S transit satellite nav
igation vehicle. This, scientists
said, should provide valuable
information for comparing
various space tracking methods.

2 TRANSMITTERS
MADE BY HOPKINS

The Applied Physics Labora-
tory of Johns Hopkins Univer-
sity in Silver Spring supplied
two transmitters in the Dis
coverer XI satellite. Transmit =
ting on 1852 and 216 megacycles,
they provide an additional step
in giving the Navy its planned
global navigation system.
DR.. Richard B. Kershner, who
heads the Transit program, said
the life of Discoverer XI would
not be long enough to count it
as another satellite in the
Transit family, but that it
would provide important data.

James r. Hoffa, president O
the Transfers Union, today de,
manded disqualification of Fed,
eral District Judge r. Dickinson
Let's from further participation
in the court battle between
TeamSter leaders and court
appointed monitors.
Mr.. Hoffa filed an affidavit il

he has a personal bias anc
prejudice against him (Mr
Hoffa) and a personal bias anc
prejudice in favor of" Martin F
ODonoghue, chairman of the
board of monitors, and Godfrey
P. Schmidt, lawyer for anti
Hoffa members of the union.
The affidavit and accompany.
ing legal memorandum calico
upon Judge Let's to step aside
Immediately and turn the moni.
torship case over to another
judge.
Remarks to Reporter Claimed
Today's action was the latest
in a series of moves by Mr.
Hoffa and his allies to block
his civil trial before Judge
Let's, scheduled for April 81
on charges by the monitors that
he misused $500,OOO of union
funds in a Florida real estate
project. The monitors seek Mr.
Hoffa's removal from Office and
expulsion from union member
ship.
Mr. Hoffa charged in his
affidavit that he has been in
formed and believes that Judge
Let's has told Hugh Sidey
Identified as a member of Time
Magazines Washington staff
that "he would remove affiant
(Mr. Hoffa). and he was going
to remove affiant."
When Mr.. Sidey asked Judge
Let's why he was so set on
ousting Mr.. Hoffa, the affidavit
continued, the Judge replied
that Mr.. Hoffa's nomination of
William Bufalino as a member
OF the board of monitors was
IAN insult to his court"
Judge Let's so far has re-
fused to act on Mr.. Bufalino's
nomination to represent the
union on the three-man board
OF monitors. He has refused to
accept the resignation of Dam
lei B. Maher, who has repre-
sented the union.

The warning was issued at
Cape Town after thousands OF

Many Already Sent Away
The outlawed African Ma

The government statement
reminded Africans that, as a
result of work boycottS in the

many Africans already have

burned their passbooks were
left iobless when the govern

NORFOLK. Va, April ls
(AP).-A small banese
freighter. loaded with scrap
iron, and its crew of % van
iShed in calm water early to-
day. The ship had radioed it
was sinking off the Virginia
coast.
At 1:12 am. (EST) the crew
of the 329-foot Ethel C. said
it was abandoning ship. Nine
hours later, with no trace of
ship or crew, the Coast Guard
extended its search to cover
5,544 square miles of the At
lantic Ocean.
The Coast Guard said the
search covered an area rang
ing from Cape Charles to Chin
coteague Island, and so miles
to sea from Chincoteague and
80 miles out from Cape Charles.
The first distress signals re-
ceived by the Coast Guard at
1858 am. indicated the ship,
bound for Newport News, was
taking water. The Coast Guard
said weather in the area was
clear and calm and there was
no indication of the cause of
the trouble. The word was that
the ships pumps couldn't cope
with water coming into the
holds.
No Trace is Found
The radio message from the
Ethel C. said the ship was sink

The American tanker ESQ
Lexington, first vessel to reach
the scene, found no trace of
the Ethel c or crew.
At least four Coast Guard
surface vessels sped to the
area from along the East Coast.
Four Coast Guard and Navy
planes took to the air.
The 2.847-ton vessel left New
York Thursday with a cargo
of 382 tons of scrap iron. After
Newport News, the next port
Of call was to be Rotterdam.
After the Coast Guard an
nouncement that the hunt
would be extended, two helicop-
ters were dispatched to search
the Shoreline on the possibility
the crew might have reached
some remote beach along Vir-
ginia'S Eastern Shore.
May Be Elsewhere
Lack of wreckage, the Coast
Guard added, indicated that
in the confusion the sinking
vessel might have given an in
CoTTeCC position ana De else
where in the area.
No passengers were reported
aboard the freighter.
New York agents for the
vessel - the Rohner, Gehrig

was made up largely of Greek
seamen.
The captain was listed as
Diomedes Caravias, 81. a
naturalized American citizen
of Greek origin. The radio
officer was identified as Thomas
Gibson, %, of Great Britain.
A spokesman for the agents
said the ship, built in Britain
in 1913, was valued at about
$150.000 and that the cargo
was worth about $4,000.
