Tlio reason: Under the original

facing an 18-month eclipse of

That sort of lag could be diffi
cult to explain, particularly ir
light of Uiis nation's $20 billion

about five years from now. Eigh

that time a long stretch to do,
without so much as one practice

to two weeks, and a resultingly
stronger push for the man-to-thc-
moon Apollo Project.
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

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

unprecedented but unsuccessful
attempt to get liie Senate to
switch the bill to anotlier com
mittee altogether.
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."
