In The-
Day's iVews
By FRANK JENKINS
Today's big news especially
for Astronaut Cooper:
The planned 22 - orbit flight
around the earth was "scrubbed"
I postponed I 12 minutes before it
was scheduled to blast off. As
this is written, it is expected that
another try will be made tomor
row morning.
When the postponement came.
Gordon Cooper had been in his
cramped little "cabin" for four
hours and 19 minutes. It must
have been a -frightful let-down.
but at least the opportunity for a
sireicn was welcome.
The reasons for postponement?
mere were two:
1. A faulty "tracking" radar at
Bermuda, which was to have
kept him spotted.
2. A balky diesel engine used to
move the 450-ton "service" tower
to and away from the huge
"booster" that was all ready to
loss his capsule out into Uie un
knowns of space.
The weather was perfect.

Question:
What about this word
SCRUBBED, used in the dis
patches this morning to indicate
postponement, or cancellation?
It's a part of the new world
in which we're living new man
ners, new mores, new WORDS.
In the world that is passing,
this word SCRUB had two mean
ings, according to Webster:
1. To rub hard, to clean a thing
by scrubbing, to cleanse of lm
purities.
2. To be diligent, or PENURI
OUS, as: "lo scrub hard for a
living."
Penurious!
Scrubbing hard for a living! ! !
Obviously, that meaning had to
be got rid of. In this older world
that we are leaving behind, ""pe
nurious" meant EXCESSIVELY
SPARING IN THE USE OF MON
EY. In the newer world that we
are entering, being sparing in
the use of money is the last tiling
that must be thought of. It just
mustn't be done any more.
It must be SCRUBBED.
New davs.
NEW WAYS'.
There was a time when just
making a living was the chief
concern of Americans. Now we
are spending twice as much to
get to Uie moon as it cost to run
our whole lederal government as
recently as 1940.
In 1940. the total cost of the
federal government was S9.0K2,
032.304. Now the interest on our
national debt is about ten billion
dollars and we're spending 20
billion dollars to put a man on
the moon.
tilers have thought of it all?
One hates to say.
It would sound profane.
But-
Lct's nol be cynical.
Let's look at the doughnut and
not at the hole.
It takes MEN to make worlds.
It took MEN to strike out across
the mysterious and terrifying
Western Sea lo find this new
world of ours. After it was found.
it took MEN to settle it and to
make of it the best world ever
jet known by man.
It takes MEN to strike olf into
outer spare. We still have that
kind of men. Nol only are they
WILLING. They are eager for
the chance and hold it to be a
HIGH HONOR to be chosen.
As long as we have that kind!

KLAMATH FALLS,
Faulty Radar
CAPE CANAVERAL, Kla
(UPD Gordon Cooper's attempt
to fly 22 times around the world
was postponed for 24 hours today
by o faulty tracking radar on
which his safety and the success
of his mission depended.
Walter C. Williams, operations
chief of the Mefcury space pro
gram, announced that a second
attempt would be made al 6 a.m.
PDT Wednesday.
Today's postponement was an
nounced at 7:57 a.m. PDT, 12 min
utes before the Air Force major
was to have vaulted into the sky
atop an Atlas rocket for a 34
hour trip through space.
Cooper, 36, whose mission is to
set a new space flight record for
Americans, had been in his
cramped Kaijh 7 cabin 4 hours
and 19 minutes when the reluctant
decision was made to scrub the
flight.
Radar Is Essential
The radar trouble developed at
the Bermuda tracking station on
which Mercury controllers depend
to determine whether a spacecraft
has gone successfully into orbit.
The radar will be given a final
check at 4 p.m. today.
The trouble with the radar coin
cided with failure of the diesel
engine which moves Uie 150-foot,!
450-ton service tower away from
the Atlas booster before blastoff.
The engine failure, first in the1
memory of cape veterans, forced
a delay of more than two hours
in Cooper's planned liftoff. Then
Ihe radar difficulties necessitated
a scrub for the day.
Williams said the radar defect
at first appeared to be minor
Then conditions "deteriorated as
the count progressed."
Uthcr than the diesel and radar
troublcs, the preflight check,
known as the countdown, had pro-
ceeder with unusual smoothness.
Cocr and the weatlnr, the
spacecraft and its booster were
ell right for Uie shot.
Returns to Hangar
After the postponement. Cooper
was eased out of his spacecraft
and returned to Hangar S. his
preflight home on the cape. He
had started the day at 12:50 a m
PDT.
Cooper had been reported "in
good spirits" as he awaited his
fate aboard the Faith 7. Williams
remarked at a news conference

naut's 4 hours and 19 minutes in
his cabin was "a very good simu
lation" of space flight.
Cooper's mission is to spend 34
hours in space to check the ef
fects of weightlessness on human
beings and to perform tests vital
to the forthcoming two-man Gem
ini Apollo moon flights.
President Kennedy was notified
of the scrub a minute before it
was announced publicly at the
cape, according to Press Secre
tary Pierre Salinger. Salinger said
Ihe president was notified in a
telephone call from the cape.
The faulty radar at Ber
muda is one of the key stations in
the worldwide Mercury tracking
network. This radar tracks a
spacecraft as it goes into orbit
at a point 100 miles in space and
500 miles from the cape.
