Gordon Cooper Jr., may yet win a stay. Tlio reason: Under the original scheme of things, the United States has suddenly found itself! facing an 18-month eclipse of manned space flights. That sort of lag could be diffi cult to explain, particularly ir light of Uiis nation's $20 billion pledge to put men on tho moon about five years from now. Eigh teen months is nearly one-third of that time a long stretch to do, without so much as one practice run in space. Project Mercury, the $500 mil lion effort that first put America In the man-in-space business, had been scheduled to end with a sue-! ccssful flight by Cooper.

But, as a poet once said, "the best-laid plans of mica and men' oft go astray. There has been some question as to whether the U.S. manned space flight plans have been the best, and they cer tainly have gone astray par ticularly in the realm of Project Gemini. D. Braincrd Holmes, director; of manned spaceflight for the Na tional Aeronautics and Space Ad ministration INASAI has just told Congress that the first manned flight in the Gemini pro gram nas slipped into the last quarter of l!Ki4 which means that project is further in the fu ture now than it was six months ago. Some sources have pinned the blamo on the refusal of lire Ken nedy administration to appropri ate supplemental funds for the program in the fiscal I'.Mi3 budget. Ileshulllc Likely Whatever tho reason, a full- scale reshuffling of America's mnn-ln-space effort Is shuping up along three fronts: There is a strengthening drive witnin NASA ranks for at least one more Mercury flight to help mi tno gap Delween now and Gemini. -Gemini itself is caught in a squeeze. With a strelched-out Mercury program and with the Apollo Project essentially on time, Gemini's role in NASA's grand scheme is rapidly eroding. There is a chance the whole works may be palmed off on the ir force beforo the first two-l man spaceship ever leaves the ground. Apollo is the kingpin. A push Is under way to channel still more money and manpower into this budding giant, even at the expense of Gemini, to get the first Saturn-boosted Apollo flights off the ground and into earth or-1 bits fur rehearsal flights by lwa. me Mercury program already Is gearing up fur Us part in such a situation. Two more Ml-shancd capsules of the type that Cooper will rule are being readied at Caiio Canaveral, and a pair oi Alius booster rockets arc stored in San Diego. Calif., just in ease SACRAMENTO, Calif. (UP1) Gov. Edmund G. Brown quoted six governors Saturday in an at tempt to drum up llth hour sup. port for his faltering death pen alty moratorium bill. Brown said he contacted the governors of all eight slates that had abolished capital punishment and received six replies. All "agreed overwhelmingly." he said, that absence of capital pun ishment posed no threat to citi zens, to peace officers or to the security of penal institutions. "The evidence from abolition states is overwhelming that the death penalty does not deter mur der and that it provides no spe cial protection for the peace offi cer or prison guard," Brown said. One of the governors was John W. Reynolds of Wisconsin, which had the nation's third lowest mur der rale in 10. "We in Wisconsin believe that the certainty of punishment is a greater deterrent than the use of harsh, punative measures." Reyn olds said. "We believe that cap! tal punishment has a brutalizing effect on society in that it lessens the value of human life. The other replying governors were William A. Lgan of Alaska, George Komncy of Michigan John II. Reed of Maine, John H. Chaffee of Rhode Island and John A. .Burns of Hawaii. Brown said he also expected to hear from Governors Karl F. Rol- vaag of Minnesota and William L. Guy of North Dakota. Four-Year Moratorium Brown's legislative proposal, carried by Assemblyman Lester A. McMillan, D-Los Angeles, would grant a four-year morator ium on the death penalty to all double murderers, kidnap kill ers, convicts who kill while in prison and persons who kill po lice officers. The measure narrowly passed the Assembly but was expected to die in a Senate committee. Brown did succeed last Wednes day, however, in persuading the Senate Government Efficiency Committee to conduct a full-scale hearing on the bill, expected next Wednesday. The measure had been shuffled off to a subcommit tee until Brown made a nearly Fabrics stay oft . . . water rolls right off garments fronted with our new. . .

Brown said he asked the gov- ernors these five questions about! absence of the death penalty: Has the homicide rate creased? Has danger to police and oth er police otucers increased? Is there a substantial move ment to restore capital punish menl? Is it now easier or more dif ficult to obtain jury convictions in murder cases? Are there prisoner security problems? Replies optimistic The governors replied in part Chaflce "We have no evidence that the absence of capital pun ishment increases the danger to police officers or creates a se curity problem in our prisons Burns It is my impression that absence of the death penalty probably makes it easier to ob tain jury convictions. Reed It has never been noted that capital crime is more preva lent as a result of the abolition of capital punishment. To my knowledge there has never been any move to restore the death penalty in Maine. Romney (answered by Albert A. Applegate, administrative as sistant) "In our entire state pen al system, we have had only two employes killed by inmates over 20 years. In both instances, the inmate involved was deranged and probably should have been committed originally to a mental institution. Egan "There is no evidencelway increases the danger to po- that the abolition of the death penalty has increased the homi cide rate in Alaska. There is also no evidence the absence. . .in any lice and other peace officers.' Brown said, "The replies toj these questions are conclusive, proof that the worst fears of the death penalty retentionists sim ply have no basis in fact. "The views of these governors are based on close personal ex perience with the death penalty issue. They should not be lightly dismissed. The governor urged "those who favor the death penalty to re examine their position in the light of the overwhelmingly consistent experience of other states." He asked legislators to "keep an open mind" and said "if other .states with the courage to abolish the death penalty find that their safety is in no way endangered. certainly California can adopt this limited moratorium proposal."
