RAY HIRES NEW LAWYER; GETS DELAY (Continued From Page One) pearance since his arraignment in London following his arrest by Scotland Yard detectives last summer. Ray i is accused of killing King with a rifle shot when the civil rights leader was here to lead a garbage strike demonstration. In the current issue of Look magazine, published Monday, Ray is quoted as saying he unknowingly became involved in "some sort of plot to kill King" eight months before the slaying. Foreman, 66, was unusually reticent Monday night when he talked with newsmen, declining to say how long a period he would ask to familiarize himself with the case. Nor would Foreman discuss the circumstances under which he entered the case just 36 hours before the scheduled trial.

Hanes, 51, said he be in court but would not contest his sudden replacement as defense chief--a post he had held since last June when he flew to London following Ray's seizure there. Ray's capture June 8 climaxed a record FBI manhunt that began when King; Nobel Peace Prize winner and leading proponent of nonviolence in the civil rights struggle, was shot to death on the balcony of the Lorraine Motel in downtown Memphis. The FBI claimed the fatal bullet was fired by Ray from a cheap lodging house about 200 feet away. Ray denied the slaying. Took Package From Canada In the Look article, author William Bradford Huie says Ray wrote from his Memphis jail cell: "I suppose I became involved in some sort of plot to kill King when I first took those packages into the United States from Canada.

nobody told me anything about any planned murder of King or anyone else." The article quotes Ray as writing that he met a man named Raoul while a fugitive in Canada in August 1967. Ray, Huie' wrote, said Raoul offered him money, a car and "travel papers" if he would establish himself in Birmingham and make himself "available." Before leaving for Birmingham, Ray made two auto trips across the border at hade Detroit with "packages" Raoul concealed in his old car, Huie wrote. Ray then went to Birmingham and made other trips for Raoul, including the Mexican border, the article said. Ray wrote that Raoul told him, "We had one more job to do and we'll do it in about two or three months." Ray said he was promised "travel and $12,000. When he asked what the job was, Ray said he was told "not to worry about it and not to ask questions." Ray was in Los Angeles, Huie wrote, when he "received by mail on March 15 the directive he had been expecting.

He was wanted in Selma and Birming-'ings ham, where King was recruiting support for his Poor People's march on Washington." Huie said Ray registered in a motel in Selma on March 22 and went to Atlanta the next day. He quoted a news dispatch that said King had gone to Atlanta on March 21 after a swing through Alabama. King was slain in Memphis two weeks later. Train Hits, Wrecks Auto 3 Hurt In Weekend Auto Mishaps Here Report Theft Of Battery, Tools, Gas Onis Marlow, R. R.

MAY LAUNCH APOLLO 8 ON DECEMBER 21 (Continued From Page One) huge Saturn 5 moon rocket on a manned The Apollo 7 M. Schirra, Donn F.

Eisele and Walter Cunningham -were launched last Oct. 11 by a Saturn 1B rocket, in the first such use of the smaller version of the Saturn series. The Apollo 8 astronauts must fire braking rockets near the moon to reduce their velocity to lunar-orbit speed. Christmas morning the nauts will re-start their rocket engines to accelerate and break free of lunar gravity. A successful mission would demonstrate to a great degree the capability of Apollo spacecraft to land astronaut crews on the moon about a year alter.

However, the Apollo lunar module--the two-man compartment that is to detach from the spacecraft in moon orbit and deliver two crew members to the moon's surface, later return them to the Apollo craft--has not yet been flight tested. The first manned mission to include the lunar module will be Apollo 9, an earth-orbit planned for next March. As substitutes for the Apollo 8 lunar-orbit mission, should it prove impracticable, NASA also has drawn up specifications for a simple swing out around the moon and back without lunar orbit, or for a probe only out to about 4,000 miles from the earth -or, as a last resort, another two-week earth orbit test of spacecraft and crew capabilities. Borman and Lovell teamed on the Gemini 7 mission, launched Dec .4, 1965, in which they ended doubts that man could function under weightless conditions for two weeks without ill effects. They served as target for the Gemini 6 spacecraft in the first successful rendezvous in space.

They made 206 revolutions of the earth in 13 days 18 hours and 35 minutes, and landed 700 miles southwest of Bermuda, Dec. 18. Lovell soared into space again on Gemini 12, the last Gemini mission, with Edwin Aldrin Nov. 11, 1966. In 59 revolutions around the earth over a span of three days, 22 hours and 34 minutes, they completed a rendezvous with an Agena spacecraft, conducted a tethered stationkeeping exercise, retrieved a micrometeorite experiment package from the outside of their spacecraft, and made the first pictures from space of an eclipse of the sun.
