 CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. R - When Malcolm Scott Carpenter was selected in 1859 as one of the seven Mercury astronauts, he was thankful to be rescued from what la<s ee:assiisd. cred rss cling assign ment a two-year tour of duty on an aircraft carrier.
 On the carrier, he would face long periods away from his family and the disappointing prospect of non-flying job. The Mercury orders arrived just two days be- fore the ship was to depart San Diego.
 When the carrier commander asked him what he was going to do, Carpenter replied: ssRide the nose cone of an Atlas three times around the earth.''
 T remember being a little amazed at my own words Car penter said recently. q knew little about the program then. By now, l know good deal more, but the whole idea fills me with ave-
 Carpenter, S7, a Navy lieutenant commander, was thrust suddenly into the pilot role for the second US. manned orbit flight last March 15 when it was disclosed that the chosen astronaut, Air Force Mai. Donald K SIayton, had minor heart trouble. Carpenter had been backup pilot for Marine It. Col. John H. Glenn Jr.'s orbital flight on Feb. 20.
 Vital Member of Team
 The handsome, crew-cut Car penter has been vital member of the astronaut team. His special ty is navigation and communities tions.
 Carpenter is an exemplary citi. zen now, but it took him little time to find himself. He said re gently that in his youth he was drifter and 'ssort of no-good'' il his home town of Boulder, Colo
 where he was born May 1, 1925. T didn't study hard and I hac to quit high school football because I couldn't devote myself to learn ing the plays" he said. T stole things from stores and was just drifting through, sort of a no-good.
 After high school graduation in 1S45, he enlisted in the Navy and got start on his flying career in the Navy V-5 flight training pro gram.
 After World War II, he entered the University of Colorado but had trouble adjusting and twice was Hunked out of school.
 He became laborer in Boulder. Long afterward he had an auto accident, which changed his whole life. He was unconscious for four days, and during a two-week con valescence in the hospital he de- cided to return to college.
 He came within three credit hours of earning a degree in aero nautical engineering from Colo rado in 1949 but encountered diff fiulty with 3 course in heat trans fer. Before he could pick up the credits he courted and married his wife, Rene, also d Colorado stu dent, and fejoined the Navy.
 After graduation from the Navy test pilot school in 1854, Carpen-

N<ALr F. 1k1IyfAV Iftk1L, Fla. RT--- Astronaut Malcolm Scott Carpenter reelected three times around the earth Thursday and was recovered safely from the Atlantic Ocean after frightening period of about B minutes when it was not known whether he was dead or alive.
 The pickup was made by a heli- copter from the aircraft carrier Intrepid 12ss 12ss miles northeast of Puerto Rico. It was one of nine air. craft sent to the scene in an emer- gency rescue operation made neces- sary when Carpenters Aurora T spacecraft overshot it's planned landing zone.
 An SA-16 seaplane arrived at the scene before the helicopter, but the pilot decided not to attempt a landing even though seas were described as calm.
 Carpenter was pIucked from the sea at the end of his exciting mission at about 3::3O pm. ESTo. This was 2 hours and 49 minutes after the 1z:41 pm. landing time, and ' hours 45 minutes after the astronaut blasted off from Cape Canaveral atop a mighty Atlas missile.
 The destroyer Pierce sped to the scene to pick up the space cap sule.
 Fear for Carpenters Life
 The fear for Carpenters life was precipitated when the spacecraft missed it's landing area several minutes after tracking stations lost radio contact with it.
 From 12:41 to HIS pm. there was no word from Carpenter.
 It wasn't known whether he and his capsule had survived the blaz- ing period of re entry when heat of about 5000 degrees Fahrenheit scared the neat sIlieid at tine bdsc of the vehicle.
 Rapid fuel consumption in his A1lrnra sranncraff caiised great concern during his second orbit But after careful consultation with the pilot, the Mercury control center reported
 .sWe see no reason why he shouldn't continue into the third orbit. But we emphasize that he limit his automatic fuel consump- tion." !"
 The latter was an order sent from the control center at Cape Canaveral to the tracking station 1t Point Arguello, Calf, for relay to Carpenter when he passed over head.
 Officials detected last conssunp- ton of the fuel shortly after the second orbit and told Carpenter to begin using his manual control system at that time to conserve the valuable hydrogen peroxide.
 This IS used to control the attic tude of the craft. Did Nof Hear Order

original order, which came from the Canary Island tracking station, and it had to be repeated by two posts in Australia, Muchea and Woomera. As he crossed the Pa clfic Ocean towards the West Coast of the United States, Mercury of- ficiais made close checks with Car penter on the status of his fuel.
 He reported there was enough to complete a three orbit mission and the order was given to pro- ceed. As he passed over Point Arguello, Carpenter toiisi astronaut Alan B. Shepard Jr., who is sta toned there, that he again noted
 ssnowflakes." He first reported seeing them in small numbers on the first orbit at about the same relative time eduring sunrise.
 There are more of those white particles" Carpenter told Shepard.
 They appear to be travelling exact ly my speed. There's one drifting off and it appears to be going even faster.
 They look exactly like snow flakes to me"
 He said he did not see them in the great numbers that John H. Glenn Jr., Americas first man in orbit, saw his famous fireflies. Carpenter said his snowflakes were in sort of rambling pattern
 Carpenter said he also had been getting a little warm and drank some water over Canton Island in the Pacific. He said it tasted 'svery good"
 Faulty Switch
 As he passed over Cape Cana veral just before entering the third orbit, he attempted to jettison a balloon which he had lowed behind the capsule for one whole orbit. flow c1 lie tsSa tic tic tstt;;ssiSs switch failed to operate and was unable to release the 30-inch sphere.
 Ground technicians assured him that the tension of the balloon would in no way affect the mission and that 1t would burn up on re- entry into the earth's atmosphere after the third orbit. So Carpenter took advantage of the extended balloon tow to take more pictures of it.
 The balloon surface was divided into five equal sections of different coIors. The idea was to enable Car- penter to determine which color man can best perceive in space. The experiment could help decided what color to paint future space vehicles.
 Performing as if he were right at home itl the strange world of weight | aSsaess, Carpenter told as- Virgil I. Griss0m on the ground at Cape Canaveral that everything was fine and he was in excellent condition as he sailed at the end Of two orbits.

Almost IL million people IS

social security benefits. Are
you one of them? II not. should
YOU be?
In years past, most people
over IS couldn't receive any
social security benefits if they
earned more than $1,000 in a
year. That's changed now.
Under the law as it now
stands, worker over IS can
have fairly substantial earn
ings and still receive some SOC
ial security BENEFITS for the
year.
How mitch can you earn and
st;ll receive benefits? Depends
On how much your benefit is
aiia whether any of your de-
pendents also qualify for bene-
fits.
Only one way to make sure
yoC are not losing some bcnc-
hts. If you are over 65. still
working, and have never ap-
piled for social security, do ii
now.
The folks in the social secur-
ity office at Wilmington will
be glad to help you. If you
find is difficult to get to the
office, give them a call. The
humber is 762-2625.
