Shot At Exploring Venus Due For US Mariner-1 This Morning
CAPE CANAVERAL (UPI) -U
S scientists repaired a balky
space rocket Saturday and sched-
uled a new attempt to shoot a
446-pound probe toward the planet
Venus for Sunday morning
If the fantastically complex shot
is successful the Mariner-1 probe
and its six experiments will hurtle
more than 223 million miles across
space and pass within 10000 miles
vof the so-called "mystery planet
before the end of the year
The launching which may deter-
mine whether life could exist on
Venus is expected to go ahead re-
gardless of whether a threatened
strike in the U S missile and
space industry is called
Mariner-1 first of two U S
shots at Venus scheduled for the
current 50-day ‘‘ideal’’ firing peri-
od originally was set for early
Saturday But the attempt was
called off less than two hours be-
fore blast-off time when techni
cians discovered an unwanted
radio signal in the rocket
Booster Section
The trouble was centered in the
booster section of the 10-story
Atlas - Agena Informed sources
said it was a "very minor" tech-
nical problem that was "fixed
almost immediately”
But it took time to re-check the
repairs The delay w as just enough
to force the shot to miss its two-
h o u r pie-dawn launching
"w indow”— that period when the
earth is in the right position to
permit maximum use of the avail-
able rocket power
Officials pooh-poohed any sug-
gestions that there was additional
"rush" to get the idiot off either
because of the limited 50 - day
launching period or because of
the threatened strike
The International Association of
Machinists has acreed to postpone
its strike deadline in a dispute
with three major missile and air
craft companies Such a walkout
could hamper work at numerous
missile bases including Cape
Canaveral
Even as the countdown resumed
Saturday there remained the pos-
sibility that last-minute troubles
in either the rocket or its gold
and silverplated payload could
fbree another 24-hour delay and
throw- Marincr-1 squarely into the
strike picture
But rockets have been launched
here in the past despite similar
'strikes and indications were it
could and would be done again
l in the case of Mariner-1 if the
situation arose
The limiting effects of the 50-day
launching period when Venus
j passes close enough to permit
' such a shot was not expected to
be a threat unless unexpected
' major troubles cropped up in the
preparations of Mariner-1 or its
! duplicate and successor Mariner-
2
Exports said the launching pad
can be- refurbished and a second
Atlas-Agena rocket erected and
checked out within 24 days This
would give scientists another 26
days to "play around" with if
necessary
Mariner-1 was designed to make
tine long voyage in about 140 days
making its closest approach to
Venus on Dec 8
The dehca'e probe's instruments
were built as electronic "eyes" to
peer through the thick clouds that
perpetually hide the surface of
Venus and find out what is under
neath
Once they have learned enough
about Venus— particularly its sur-
face temperature physical make-
up and the amount of water vapor
and oxygen in its atmosphere-
scientists believe they can make
an “educated guess” as to wheth-
er life as- it is known on earth
could exist tbcie

De Gaulle Thinks
American Should
Command NATO
PARIS (UPI) — President
Charles de Gaulle said Saturday
that France feels retiring Gen
Lauris Norstad should be replaced
by another American as Allied
Supreme Commander in Europe
Observers here felt that Gen
Lyman Lcmnitzer newly -named
U S commander in Europe
would succeed Norstad The
NATO council scheduled to meet
here early next week would ap-
prove him as the new Allied commander
Grain Crisis
Said Troubling
Red Satellites
LONDON (UPI)— A grain crisis
in Russia's eastern European sa-
tellite countries is causing new
difficulties for their already hard
pressed economics according to
reports reaching here
Sources usually well - informed
on Iron Curtain affairs said that
poor harvests were general in
most of the satellite countries be-
cause of the long winter and dry
spring
Russia itself has reported rec-
ord crops but has had trouble
in harvesting it Izxcstia the or-
gan of the Russian government
has estimated Soviet crops at
about 150 million tons well above
the 1958 record of 141 million
tons but admitted some grain
might be lost because machinery
was lacking to brjg it in
The sources said that Russia
probably would be able to step
up its exports on grain to the
satellites to ease their crises but
that they would still need to buy
gram from the West
The trouble with the grain har-
vest follows earlier difficulties
with meat and butter which have
been in short supply in several
of the satellite countries for sev-
eral months
It was understood here that the
agricultural problems were an
important factor behind the re-
cent stepped up drive in live sa-
tellite countries against the Euro-
pean Common Market
Well informed sources said the
satellite countries badly need to
Increase trade with the West to
earn currency to pay for food im-
ports They said llie satellites
(car the high tariffs of the Com-
mon Mat Let might block their
chances of selling to them
French and other European
newspapers insisted Saturday that
Norstad resigned because of dif-
ferences with President Ken-
nedy over' nuclear policy for the
NATO alliance particularly over
Norstad's desire to arm NATO
w ith its own nuclear force
Paris Comment
"Kennedy wants to put at the
head of NATO forces a soldier
with views near to his own” the
Paris newspaper Combat said
The NATO Council meets Mon-
day and Tuesday to consider ap-
pointment of a successor NATO
spokesmen continued to claim that
no decision has been reached yet
and that the United States has
not even been asked to nominate
a successor
Kennedy’s speed in announcing
Friday night that Lemnitzer would
succeed Norstad as commander-in-chief
of U S forces in Europe
was regarded here as clinching
the choice of Lemnitzer as next
Allied Supreme Commander Nor- i
stad held both posts -1
An official announcement from I
DeGaulle's office said that "con-i
sidering the relative forces sup-
plied to NATO by the various
Atlantic states” France feels that
the supreme command should go
again to an American
Courtesy Call
Norstad paid a 10-minute cour-
tesy call on De Gaulle Saturday
morning He was given full mili-
tary honors by French Republican
guards in full dress uniform when
he arrived and left the Elysee
Palace Earlier a statement from
DeGaulle's office expressed the
President's "regret” at Norstad's
resignation
But French reaction to Lem-
nitzer was distinctly cool
The influential Paris afternoon
newspaper LcMonde which broke
tlie story of Norstad's resignation
Friday described Lemnitzer in a
front-page editorial as “a military
man of quality but without any
very pronounced personality”
"He is of retirement age and
belongs to an Army in which of-
ficers rarely are held on the ac-
tive list beyond this limit” Le
Monde said "His appointment
therefore would seem to be only
a temporary solution”

personal plea Saturday for a 60-
day delay in a threatened strike

three-man board to investigate
