Dear Kimmy: I broke up with a boy last week and now I like him. Lover Girl Dear Lover Girl: What did you break up with him for then? by JOSEPH L. MYLER United Press International WASHINGTON (UPI) - Good housekeeping in space isn't good enough. It has to be well-nigh perfect. A droplet of spilled water, a crumb, a bit of dust conceivably could short - circuit a switch or clog a valve upon which the suc cess of the flight, and the lives of the astronauts depended. This is one of the lessons learned from the now concluded Mercury man-in-orbit program. It is a lesson engineers and technicians have taken in their preparations for Gemini ren dezvous and Ap o 1 1 o moon flights to come. In the words of Walter C. Wil liams, deputy director of the Na tional Aeronautics and Space administration's manned space craft center at Houston. 'Dirt, debris, and foreign ob jects within a spacecraft have have found that we cannot toler ate even the smallest amount of dirt inside the spacecraft while it is in the weightless state." Under weightlessness any thing that isn't tied down one way or another tends to eome out of whatever crevice or re cess it may have been hiding in, and to float around the cabin on mischief bent. Not even figuratively can you sweep anything under the rug in a spacecraft and expect it to stay there. And even a drop of the purest distilled drinking water becomes dirt when it gets out of bounds. So serious is the space hazard of dirt thet Mercury cabins, be fore being taken to the launch pad, were turned upside down in a meticulously cleaned "white room" and tumbled a bit to dislodge any loose debris or stray objects. Electromagnetic force fields around equipment and the metal skin of the spacecraft attract any free floating material. This has caused shortages in elec trical and stoppages in flow sys tems. An unscreened cabin fan was put out of commission on an early unmanned Mercury flight. Unwanted debris clogged chan nels of the small altitude con Glenn Jr.'s spacecraft. Astronaut Walter M. Schirra Jr. had trouble with the temper ature control of his spacesuit during his six - orbit flight of Oct. 3, 1962. A tiny bit of dirt had clogged the valve which regulated the flow of cooling water. Control System Fails L. Gordon Cooper's automatic control system aboard Faith 7 failed toward the end of his 22.9 - orbit flight last May, and he had to manipulate hand-operated devices to get safely down from orbit. In this case the villain wasn't dust or any loose metal or other scraps. It appears to have been water. Cooper was plagued by leaks in his spacesuit plumbine and in his drinking water tank. Experts believe misplac e d moisture corroded a couple of key electrical connections and threw the entire automatic con trol system out of kilter. Robert A. Nanz of the space craft center's crew systems di vision explains that "unrestrain ed liquids," floating around the cabin of a spacecraft in glo bules, "could coat every sur face they brushed against in the course of their wanderings." Crumbs Make Trouble Crumbs, too, could make trouble. On earth a crumb just falls on the tablecloth and lies there. In space it could be drawn into an astronaut's wind pipe, or it might get into a piece of equipment and jam it. Williams and others have found out what every housewife knows: "We can never reach the perfection of absolute clean liness." But the effort must be made. And "if we cannot eliminate the debris," Williams says, "we must eliminate the chances of it interfering with the working of spacecraft equipment." This, he concedes, "is going to take some very careful de sign work on the part of the engineer." Tear Gas Burns Portland Student PORTLAND (UPI) - A 14-year-old student at Fernwood Grade school here was burned on the hand Wednesday by a tear gas shell fired by another student. Hearings Continue In Seaside Rioting SEASIDE (UPI)-Court hear ings continued here Wednesday for those charged with various offenses in connection with the Labor Day week end rioting. Four persons entered pleas of innocent and trial will be sched uled for them. Eight others for feited bail ranging from $30 to $500. Principal Edwin E. Petersen said an 8th grade student was turned over to Juvenile authori ties after he fired the shell at Gary McGrew, who suffered slight burns. Petersen said the 300 students and teachers on the second floor of the school were kept in their rooms for more than an hour while the tear gas cleared. About a dozen students were close to the blast and required extensive eye washing, he said. Petersen said the boy ad mitted to police he took the fountain pen tear gas gun from an automobile. Dear Kimmy: Last summer I went with a girl. Now she is in France. No girls in this place interest me. Do you think that I miss her because she is away or because I just like her? Confused Dear Confused: For HER sake, it had better be BOTH. Dear Kimmy: I don't like my boy friend any more and ' 1 don't know how to gel rid nf him without hurting him. He is always calling me and asking me to go to the show. Tired Dear Tired: Go out with OTH ER boys. Dear Kimmy: 1 like a boy and so does my girl friend. He likes me more though. What should I do? I don't want to hurl my girl friend. Second Choice Dear Second Choice: Let HIM make; the first move. Dear Kimmy: If you like two boys and are going with one who doesn't like you hang ing around with any other hoys, but the oilier always goes horsrhack riding with you and is your next door neighbor, what should you do? Contused Dear Confused: Go with the one you feel is more fun and worth while. Choose while you can!! Dear Kimmy: If ynu met someone casually ONCE, and he promised to write and didn't what should vnu do? Waiting Dear Waiting: Meeting a per son just ONCE isn't too much to go on. Wait until you sec him again, and perhaps things will get off to a better start. South Viel Nam Bishop Denies Vatican Refusal NEW YORK (UPI) - Msgr. Ngo Dinh Thuc, archbishop of , Hue and a member ot boutn Viet Nam's ruling family Wednesday night denied publish ed reports that he had been i refused a Vatican audience with Pope Paul VI. The archbishop flew here here from Rome for a "one or two day visit" with friends such as Francis Cardinal Spell man and Bishop Fulton J. Sheen. Contrary to reports, Thuc said, he has an audience sched uled with the pontiff shortly after he returns to Rome from New York to attend the Sept. 23 opening of the Second Ecu menical Council. Asked about repressive meas ures against the Buddhist ma jority in South Viet Nam by the regime of his brother, Pres ident Ngo Dinh Diem, the arch bishop said he could not speak out about the political turmoil in the country "because of an order from the Vatican . . ." Not His Duty "They have said to me enough . . . that it is nol my duty to mention politics," Thuc said. On reports that the United States might curtail aid to South Viet Nam to force re forms there, Thuc said: "If American aid is with drawn, we will have to manage somehow. American aid to Viet Nam is well known by the peo ple. The United States is pour- ing millions of dollars and we are matching it (in the fight against the Communist Vict Cong) with our blood." According to Thuc, only a ! handful" of Buddhists in his country are actively opposed to the Diem regime. Court Records MKDFOItn Ml'MCII'Al.
