pointed out that the cost of tour

while the cost of practically

The reason is. in large part, the

the various ambitious concerns
within those two categories.
Many Buying Travel Bargains
Final figures for 1862 show that
Americans Shelled out close to
S2.9 billion for foreign travel dur

gain Of 10 per cent after the
temporary leveling off seen in
1861. Preliminary figures for the

HOSPITAL CARE FOR VETS IN 49TH AND 50TH STATES

WASHINGTON R - The Senate passed a bill Wednesday to per init the use of private contract hospitals in Alaska and Hawaii for the care of veterans with non-service-connected disabilities.
 The practical effect of the bill, which now goes to the House, would restore the situation exist ing prior to the time Alaska and Hawaii became states
 It is similar to a bill passed by the Senate in 1860.
 Although private contract fa- cilities are now used by the Vet erans' Administration for service connected disabilities, the bill is needed to permit their use for non- service-connected cases.

Three Contracts Let for Design of Space Plane

WASHINGTON R - The Air Force awarded today three con- tracts for design studies that may lead to piloted space plane which would take off from earth, fly into oribt and then land on earth again.
 It gave S5OO,OOO design study contracts to General Dynamics Corp, San Diego; North American Aviation Inc, Fl Segundo, Calif.; and Douglas Aircraft Go. Inc, San ta Monica, Calf.
 The hope is that research may lead to manned space plane by the late 1960's or early 1970's.
 The craft would take off from the kind of runway now used by B-52 jet bombers.
 Air Force officials have suggest ed a number of possible missions for such a craft, the most im- portant of which would be to in- tercept and inspect enemy space devices.

OAfE LANA V EMAIL, r Id. hJ - With Project Mercury officially concluded, the United States now shifts full attention to Gemini, the second phase of plan to land astronauts on the moon before 1970
 Fortified with a mountain of data collected from six Mercury manned space flights - climaxed by Air Force Maj. Leroy Gordon Cooper Jr.'s 22-orbit mission in May - Gemini officials are nov ing confidently ahead.
 Two-man Gemini teams will test many techniques essential for the Apollo lunar landing program. The astronauts will remain in orbit for periods up to two weeks; they will join their spacecraft with an- other orbiting satellite, and event ually one of the crew is to open the capsule hatch and step outside to see what it's like more than 100 miles above the earth.
 Gemini presently is nearly a year behind schedule. This was major reason space officials de- clared an end to Project Mercury.
 Main reasons for the lag in volve technical problems associated with developing a highly sophis ticated spacecraft and man-rating the powerful Titan booster rocket. Shortage of funds, which resulted in elimination of all but essential overtime work several months ago, also has contributed to the delay.
 The Gemini spacecraft retains the bell shape of the Mercury capsule but it will be larger and weigh about 5000 pounds, twice as much as the earlier vehicle. It will have 50 per cent greater cabin area to accommodate two pilots.
 As a result of Mercury experi- ences, new fuel and power systems have been devised for Genini and the emphasis will be on pilot con- trol rather than on automatic as in Mercury.
 The need for a tWo-man crew was explained by Gemini official
The Nome nugget., 1963-06-21
Andre Meyer Jr.:

Andre Meyer Jr.:
 "For really extended flight periods, it was considered most desirable to be able to alternate rest periods and generally to light en the load on one man."
 He said two men would simplify rendezvous maneuvers and the exit of one of the pilots into space
 Dr. Stanley White of the manned spacecraft center said the dual pilot arrangement will permit simultaneous medical monitoring of two men and enable the astro- nauts to use instruments to check one another's condition.
 Present schedule calls for an unnamed mockup Gemini cap- sule to be launched on brief sub orbital flight from Cape Canaveral next December. An unnamed orbital flight of a complete capsule is scheduled for June 1864.
 If all goes well, two astronauts selected from the original seven Mercury pilots and the nine pilots named last fall - will make the first manned Gemini trip in Octo- Der of 1864. The flight presently is programmed for three days to pro- vide basic data for long duration flights, but it could be extended.
 During 1864, the length of the flights will be increased to a week and then two weeks to gather ex tensive medical data on the pilots reaction to prolonged exposure to space weightlessness. The informa- tion is needed before man ventures forth to the moon and planets.
 During the long duration trips, Gemini teams will conduct early space rendezvous experiments with a small target satellite. The two objects will not be joined in space
 When confidence is gained in this maneuver, an Agena satellite will be shot into orbit from Cape Canaveral by an Atlas rocket and the tWo-man craft will be launch ed a day or two later to attempt g hookup, probably in late 1865.
 Once the two vehicles have docked, the Gemini astronauts will use the Agena fuel supply and engine to alter course, possibly scooting from their normal 18O- mile-high altitude to more than ] 600 miles into space.
 Then the Agena will be jettison- ed and Gemini will return to earth. Initial flights will use a Mercury type parachute system for a water landing. But a winglike paraglider device is being developed to en- able later Gemini craft to maneu- yer near earth and land like g 1 glider on solid ground.
 The National Aeronautics anC Space Administration has placed a $456.6-million order with the Mcdonnell Aircraft Co.,, St. Louis for 13 Gemini capsules. Under ar agreement reached with NASA earlier this year, the Air Force will use some of the capsules te test military applications of man. in-space - including rendezvous with and inspection of suspected hostile satellites, reconnaissance and observation of enemy missile launchings.
 By 1865, initial earth orbit flights of the Apollo spaceshir will begin to overlap Gemini ano by 1867 NASA's participation ir Gemini is expected to end.
 Then on to the moon, perhaps to manned landing by 1868.
