Closing Out Mercury
Delays Flight Into May

An apparent desire to finish
off Project Mercury quickly
and cheaply has delayed the
next manned space flight at
least until mid-May.
Wiring trouble in an Atlas
rocket ticketed for Astronaut
l.. Gordon Cooper's Mao mis-
sion has turned out to be more
serious than it seemed when
first revealed last week. Delay
from a previously planned
April launching date" was an
nounced here late last night
following a day-long trouble
analysis meeting at Los Ange-
les.
Because there is no backup
rocket to Maj. Cooper's Atlas
No. 130-D either available or
on the production line, an
earlier launching date than
mid-May is now ruled out. The
Mercury program had three
more Aliases authorized, but a
decision apparently was made
late last year not to build any
after 130-D.
New Wiring Technique
After the meeting, NASA is
sued a statement which reads,
in part:
"The delay from a previously
planned launching date was at
tributed to a decision to re-
wire the Mercury-Atlas flight
control system. Results of a
continuing reliability study and
an analysis of a failure which
occurred during checkout of
the MA-9 booster identified the
flight control system wiring as
a possible source of trouble.
Consequently General Dy-
namics /Astronautics, which is
assembly and test contractor
for the Atlas launch vehicle,
proposed a new wiring techni-
que as a part of a constant ef-
fort to increase reliability and
safety"
Some persons familiar with
Atlas construction methods ex-
pressed doubt that the trouble
in the MAJ flight is con-
fined to the rocket alone. They
pointed out that substitute
wiring is available at the fac
tory and could be installed and
checked out with a delay of
Evening star., 1963-02-13

no more than a week or two,
instead of the six-Week mini
mum now predicted.
About the only other COM
ponentS that could cause a
delay of this length are the
astronaut and the space cap
sule. Maj. Cooper repeatedly
is in fine shape and ready for
the flight. AS far as the cap
sule is concerned, a NASA
spokesman categorically denied
today that any trouble had
been detected in it.
This spokesman said the
failure =. during checkout
of the NAB booster" mentioned
in the NASA statement actu-
ally involved the auto-pilot
system on which Maj. Cooper
would have relied to steer him
through a tiny "keyhole in the
sky" and safely into orbit.

No Backup Rocket
The auto-pilot device was
identical to those that operated
successfully in five earlier
Mercury-AtlaS flights, three OF
them manned. In his telephone
interview from Los Angeles, Mr.
Williams responded to an OBJ
servation that the auto-piilot
had seemed reliable enough LIP

Despite reports of a Com

this week, the consensus here
was that the country was firmly

ernment.
Rushing of Jail FOiled
Communists in the Shaft al
Arab river port, urged on by a
clandestine radio from abroad,
tried to rush the Jail there at
the outset of the revolt Friday,
but were fired on by police and
eight were reported killed.
Baghdad is calm. The streets
are crowded by civilian cars,
buses and trucks. This is in
contrast to heavy firing which
shook the city Monday night,
when National Guardsmen
were roofing out the Reds.
At the Defense Ministry
paSsersby looked curiously at
the scene of KasSem's last
stand. Soldiers at the spot said
the Iraqi strongman held out
despite an attack from 240
tanks and a brigade of mech
anized infantry until noon
Saturday. Then, as the re-
sistance of the last of his $500
military police there crumbled,
he was captured, tried by a
summary court and executed.
His body was shown on tele-
vision three times Saturday
night as proof to the nation
that he was dead.
Many of the political pris-
oners jailed by Kassem have
been released. and the jails are
being filled with Communists
arrested by the new regime.

Nominally, the revolutionary
regime which overthrew Kas-

President Abdel Salam Mo-
hammed Aref, a 42-year-old
ex-colonel who teamed with
Kassem to destroy the Iraqi
monarchy in 1858 and later
broke with him.

But the belief here is that
his powers may be largely cere-
monial. Behind him are
younger members of the Ba'ath

Arab Social Renaissance Party
which Kassem banned during
his dictatorship. They are not
clearly identified.
The new Premier, Brig
Ahmad al Bakr, Interior Min
lister Sayid Ali Alsaleh and
Foreign Minister Dalib Shabib
are all known as leading
Ba'athists.
The Ba'ath program is gen.
orally described as radical
socialist. Western sources in
Baghdad said, however, they do
not expect the new rulers to
decree any sweeping national

revolution was to respect all

AstrOVoice'
Aids Trackers

A tiny device that would
have saved a lot of anxiety
during John Glenn's narrowing
re-entry from space was
shown publicly for the first
time today.
Engineers of the Avco Corp.
said the gadget, weighing only
about eight ounces, would
have eliminated the 4h min
ute communications blackout
period at the end of Col.
Glenn's flight last February 20.
Indications of trouble with the
heat shield on the capsule left
ground controllers uncertain
whether Col. Glenn, the as
tronaut would survive the heat
of re-entry.
The new device, named "As-
trovoice," adds a voice channel
to the tracking radar on a
space capsule. Since radars
used on space capsules are not
BACKED out by re-entry, Avco
scientists say their gadget
would enable a returning as
tronaut to talk to the ground
throughout the return phase of
his flight.
Nothing but the hand-sized
attachment would have to be
carried in the spacecraft, ac-
cording to Avco. Notifications
Of ground-based radar re-
ceivers would take only "a few
hours" to effect.
An Avco spokesman said the
device has not been tested in
actual space flight but has
been checked out under care
fully simulated circumstances.
1t was flown in an aircraft and
beamed voice messages to a
station IL miles away. The
voice signal was attenuated to
simulate a range of 200-300

Protest Suit
Planned To Hit

JACKSON, Miss. (UPI)-Civil
rights leaders announced here
today they planned to challenge
the results of MisSissippi's gu
bernatorial election on grounds
Of alleged discrimination
against Negro voters.
Bob Moses, campaign manag-
err for Negro Aaron Henry, un-
official gubernatorial candidate
on the freedom vote" ticket,
said arrangements were being
made to file suit to Dust Cow
elect Paul B. Johnson.
He said the suit, to be filed
within the next two weeks,
would be based on a federal
statute passed during Recon-
struction. The law allows a
candidate defeated in a state or
federal election to challenge the
outcome of the vote on the basis
that persons supporting him
were unlawfully denied the right
TO vote because of race.
Moses announced that more
than $4,000 votes have been
counted in the mock election,
and that the total cast in stores,
churches and other sites in 200
communities was expected to
reach 10000.
