Salvage Crews
Find Wreckage
Of Space Capsule
Cupc Canavoral-flJPD-Wrock-agc
of a project Mercury mun-into-space
capsule which
plunged Into the Atlantic
ocean off Cape Canaveral
Frldoy was recovered Satur
day night by salvage crews,
the Federal Space Agency
said.
The National Aeronautics
and Space Administration said
several large pieces of the
bell-shaped capsule were
found about five miles off
shore in approximately 50
feet of water.
The sections were returned
to Cape Canaveral for ex
amination and analysis.
Lot Better Shape .
"This leaves us in a helluva
lot better shape than we were
this time this morning," one
source close to the Mercury
program said.
The Mercury capsule, which
will carry an astronaut to the
edge of space early next year
and into orbit sometime in
late 1961, was launched
aboard an Atlas missile in a
driving rain Friday morning
in its most Important test to
date.
However, the experiment
failed when the Atlas booster
blew up about 65 seconds
after blast off. Officials said
it had not been determined
what caused the explosion.
An intensive search for the
wreckage was immediately
launched.
NASA said 3Vi minutes of
in-flight telemetry data and
preliminary examination ol
the wreckage indicated the
capsule probably hit the wa
ter intact, and then was torn
apart. The telemtry Included
the time from blast off
through the capsule's plunge
into the ocean.
It was reported the recov
ered wreckage included "sev
eral large pieces" such as the
heavy heat shield a the base
61 the capsule.-' -v "
"They were pretty good,
seated "chunks, and they give
us someuiing w gu uu uuw,
a source said.
Officials declined to say
when a repeat of the shot
might be - attempted. How
ever, there was speculation it
might come about September.
At least six shots with Mer
cury capsules-remain on the
mari-in-space program's sched
ule for the remainder of this
year-three aboard an Atlas
and three aboard the Army's
short range Redstone rocket.

By Belgian Move
Washington - (UPD -The
state department said Satur
day it was "satisfied" that the
Belgian government sent its
troops back into the strife
torn Congo only to protect
lives and "had no aggressive
intent. ;.
Official sources said this
statement was being issued to
make it clear that the United
States did not endorse charges
by Congo Premier Patrice
Lumumba who charged while
he was in Washington that
Belgium was risking a new
world war by "shady maneu
vers" in the Congo.
The statement was issued
upon special instructions from
acting Secretary of State
Douglas Dillon. It cited Bel
gium's announcement that it
was withdrawing 1,500- of .its
10,000-man force in the Congo
as evidence that the country's
intervention "to protect. '"'he
lives which were in dagger
had no ulterior purp056 "
The state department said
Belgium's actions in ' com
pliance with the U.W. Security
Council's resolution along
"with the evident jjucvess of
the U.N. operation," appeared
to be "stabilizing" 'the situ
ation in the Congo.
