I MEDFORO MAIL TRIBUNE. MEDFORD. OREGON THURSDAY. JUNE . 1963 Man and Space Shepard Becoming Impatient at Wait For Space Flight I Br ALVIN B. WEBB JR. Cape Canaveral-ilTD- The garland o a space heros ame once hung around his Shoulders, but that was two vears ago. Today. Alan B. phepard Jr. is a dissatisfied Bian with burning ambition, f His hopes range into the future, to the day when the Vnited States launches its ext man into space on the trbital path that started with John Glenn and ran through $2.9 orbits with L. Gordon Qooper Jr. When the next rocket blasts from a firing pad at Cape Canaveral, it is a cinch that Al Shepard will be aboard. He already has been prom ised the role as America's next orbiting astronaut. But in the meantime, the slender Navy commander simply must wait. And wait ing has never been one of Al Shepard's strong points. Even now, those who know hirn realize he is mentally pacing the floor in almost grim, cer tainly impatient, expectation. Some say the wait already has been too long - so long, in fac'. that Snepard's case is something of a paradox: -He made his nation's first. and perhaps most dangerous because it was the first, space flight on May 5, 1961. when he soared more than 100 miles aboard a Redstone rocket on an "up-and-down" sub-orbital ride. But the name of Amer ica's first space hero has been overshadowed in the subse quent glamour of the orbital voyages. -Many within the ranks of the federal space agency it self rate Shepard "the best" of the original seven Mercury astronauts. And yet he had to stand on the sidelines four times while other astronauts made all the orbital trips for the United States. Now the Washington ad ministrative head of the Na tional Aeronautics and Space Administration is ready to bury Project Mercury - and no official yet has stepped foiward to explain why Shep ard, the man who made the first "textbook" flight, was never given a chance at the program's main goal, the launching of men on. orbital flights. There are a lot of things Shepard is not. He isn't the "All American boy" type of John Glenn, nor the warm and human breed personified by Walter M. Schirra Jr., nor the fun-loving kind such as Gordon Cooper. He is, however, coldly ef ficient and confident where there are grounds for con fidence ... a man who seems at times almost devoid of emo tions, who never seems to be come frightened or jittery. To some, this adds up to a description of Al Shepard as an "ice cube" or a "human computing machine." These also could be the qualities of what might be called the "perfect astronaut" -or, as one put it, the "super-astronaut." Defecting Device Developed For Dust Chicago -VF8- Scientists here have developed a de vice which helps them listen to dust.
