When Discover XVII neared its 14th trip, the Air Force decided Sunday that it was behaving so well it could stay up a little longer. Scheduled ejection time was delayed to the 31st pass, about 5 p.m. EST today. Plans called for the capsule, to pop from the 25-foot-long Agena second-stage rocket as it streaked over the North Pole, headed South.

But then Ivan also was told that the election was a repudiation of the Republican party. For Ivan, there, was no explanation of how the American voters could repudiate a policy if there w-as no difference in policies.
