Ting of Propaganda Probably the early manned shots in the $500 million Mer cury Project bore a tinge of propaganda, even until the three-orbit missions of John Glenn and Scott Carpenter. There simply wasn't enough time in flight for these men to find out much about their true capabilities in this strange new environment. Time is one thing that slender, serious Wally Schirra will have plenty of - more than nine hours, if all goes well, as he whirls through six 45-minute "days" and "nights" at a speed of better than 17, 000 miles per hour. In many ways, Wally Schir ra will be working in the kind of emotional atmosphere he likes. It will be one free of much of the publicity mad ness and propaganda pressure, because many of the spectacu lar "firsts" that generate al most unbearable tension al ready have gone before. Not First Spaceman Schirra, 39, certainly won't face the pressure of being first into orbit. Russian Cosmonaut Yuri Gagarin nabbed that hon or back in April 12, 1961, when he soared once around the globe aboard Vostok-1. Schirra's Mercury pal, John Glenn, did it for America last Feb. 20. Schirra won't stay up the longest. Soviet "space brot.lv ers" Andrian Nikolayev and Pavel Popovich last month set a space endurance record that the United States won't touch for another two years or more. What Schirra's flight will do, if things go according to plan, is to bridge the gap be tween the early "toe in space" flights of the Mercury Project and the day-long missions that ard the day-long missions that -4, ... -.t. . ...

IJBTI ill 8 Vim AWETTE VAD;M- hlUft SATURDAY ONLYI t V TfCHHIHiMr -.kv-i- ,.iw f s,m.- !., TICXMCftM' I U. S. scientists are planning starting early in 1963. Sitting in a hangar on Cape Canaveral today is a bell- j shaped Mercury capsule simi I lar in appearance to the one that Schirra will ride. There is a difference - this new spacecraft is designed to keep an astronaut alive and well for up to 24 hours or so in space. The one-day-in-orbit flight by one of the seven Mercury astronauts, to match the feat that Russia's Gherman Titov performed 13 months ago, will be next up on the schedule if Schirra's "MA-8" trip is fully successful. The "if" is a big one, de spite the relative abundance of Soviet manned flights, Rus sian iron curtain secrecy has kept a wealth of valuable knowledge from the U.S. sci entists knowledge about the problems of prolonged manned flight in space. And knowledge that this nation obviously will have to win the hard way. Myriad Unknowns I There are myriad un knowns. Can man's physical make-up, tied to earth for millenia, survive safely and sanely the weird feeling of : "no gravity?" An astronaut isn't going to be much good on a long trip through space if he spends the entire time with his gills a tainted green and his head in one or those "emergency" bags you find in airplanes. How quickly does an astro naut tire? Can be keep his mind fully on his work? How well does he take the stresses of re-entry through the atmos phere after a prolonged period of "zero-gravity!" These questions are ques tions the American shots to date haven't been able to an swer fully, and the Russians have been reluctant to help with. It will be up to Schirra to supply the answers. The easygoing spaceman-to-be, son of a former barn storming pilot, has had his share of tough moments. Many of them came in Korea, when he was flying 90 mis sions in F84E jets. He tangled I sule pointed in a certain di with Russian technology rection. The spacecraft will there, too MIG jets. He was credited with downing one MIG. with another as a "probable." And there was a time when Schirra wasn't the least in terested in climbing aboard a missile. He was too busy dodging one. A deadly little sidewinder missile, launched from his own jet airplane, doubled back on him. He calmly evaded it until the sidewinder ran out of fuel. On his orbital voyage, Schirra will have more time to spend on his scientific work than did either Glenn or Carpenter. For one thing, he won't have to be forever busy trying to keep his cap- "dnft about half the time. Not Enough Fuel It couldn't be otherwise. There won't be enough fuel on board to permit a constant "attitude" correction, because of weight restrictions. A lot of the astronaut's work will be involved with testing systems and tech niques rather than in trying out new items placed aboard the capsule. One of the most important will be a modifica tion of the spacecraft's radio communications system. On board will be a compact antenna, attached to the re trorocket package on the base of the capsule. In orbit, the antenna will be "telescoped" so it will reach a length of about 26 feet. This "telescop ing" works on the same prin ciple as the automobile an tenna. The purpose will be to try to improve radio communica tions between the astronaut and ground stations on com paratively low frequencies. A poor antenna system on pre vious shots prevented these communications from being very attractive. mi MM PHONE 772-6424 Coal Production Increase Expected Washington -WPD- A special fuels policy report Thursday forecast a 100 per cent in crease in coal production to about 800 million tons a year by 1980. The 10-month fuels study, set up by a Senate resolution and handled by special group which included government and private industry repre sentatives, said that genera tion of electricity was expect ed to multiply 3Vi times, and oil consumption increase about two-thirds during the next 18 years. It said gas con sumption probably would dou ble during that period. Cuddle Toys MR TONITE AND SATURDAY Amuse baby in playpen or crib with these lovable toys in gay prints and checks.
