HOUSTON, May 15.--
Beautiful"
That was the way Mrs.
Gordon Cooper described the
launch Of her astronaut hus-
bands Mercury capsule at
Cape Canaveral, Fla.
Mrs. Cooper and her daugh-
ters--Camala, IA, and Janita,
13-watched the launch in
the privacy Of the master
bedroom at their home rs
miles east Of Houston.
One Word
It was more than an hour
later that Dave Schwartz, a
public affairs officer at the
manned spacecraft center,
left the ranch-style home and
gave newsmen Mrs. Cooper's
one-word reaction.
Schwartz said Mrs. Cooper
asked him to say nothing
more in behalf Of herself and
the daughters.
Left Smiling
He said the mother and
girls went into the master
bedroom Is minutes before
launch and were smiling
when they returned to the
den after it was certain the
blastoff had been successful.
Just 80 minutes before
launch they received a tele-
phone call from Cooper from
his capsule.
Schwartz would not give
details Of the telephone con-
versation but said the family
appeared more relaxed while
awaiting the start Of the
scheduled "a = hour space
flight that had been the case
yesterday when radar trouble
at Bermuda caused q post
ponement.
Schwartz said Mrs. Coop
er and the daughters will
remain in seclusion and will
make no appearances before

the flight and Cooper's sue
cessful recovery.

stay at home from school

turned In about 10 minutes.
She talked with newsmen
only long enough to say her
reaction to the postpone

She made no other COM
ment and Mr.. Schwartz de-
clined to elaborate.
Mr.. Schwartz, who had
been the only other visitor
to the ranch-style home Is
miles east Of here, also de-
clined to say what the family
reaction had been when 1t
was announced that the

that 28,OOO are close enough to

FARMn1GTON, N.M.--So you
thought coal had gone out of style7
Not quite.
One coal deposit. lying beneath
the surface of a mesa southwest of
Farmington, was virtually ignored
for decades.
An occasional ''wagon mine"
was dug into a hillside. and coal
was shoveled out for loo al con-
sumption. But experts didn't think
the deposit could be mined profit
ably. in the face of dwinding de-
mand for coal.
That same coal deposit will
soon produce these benefits:
Power for coolers, vacuum
cleaners and washers in the Salt
River Valley.

Tribe. plus a new payroll for
tribesmen.

So. S million. This rig. which dwarfs
a large power shovel, will soon be
stripping away the overburden 40
cubic yards at a bite.
When the coal seam is barred,
an 41-yard shovel moves in and
loads the fuel into rock trucks
which pack As tons at a time.
The coal is trucked about mile
and dumped into sump from which
a conveyor belt removes it as need
ed. Conveyors move the fuel
through crusher and into stacker
which travels set of rails, drop
ping the coal in neat piles on either
side.
Another machine, travelling the
same tracks, reclaims the coal
from the piles and delivers it by
conveyor to Arizona Public Ser
vice.
The utility takes delivery at a
point beside the power plant. where
yet another conveyor system can
feed the coal directly into the plant
or divert it to 6O-day stockpile.
: PS will use approximately
400 tons of coal day in the two
units now nearing completion,
which will generate $780, 900 hlo-
watts.
A new power line will carry the
electricity into Arizona south of
Smprock. over the Chuska Noun
tains and across the flatlands near
Ganado. At the Cholla plant at Jo-
seph City (also a coal-fed opera
tion) the line joins a southbound
