THIS INVOLVES the prime crew and Schirra, Eisele and Cunningham will board their spacecraft about two and a half hours before the simulated liftoff set for 2 p.m. The Apollo 7 flight is an operational test designed to detect any bugs in the spacecraft which may carry three astronauts into orbit around the moon sometime in late December.

Speculation, from Houston's Manned Spacecraft Center points to a circum-lunar mission atop a Saturn if the October Apollo flight is a success. APOLLO 7 was originally scheduled to carry a number of scientific experiments but these were dropped one by one to permit the crew to spend virtually all their time i i ng spacecraft systems and putting the moonship through its paces. The flight plan now calls for eight burns of the spacecraft's powerful pound thrust engine to change orbits and conduct rendezvous tests using the expended second stage. Splashdown is to be in the Atlantic Ocean 10 days and 21 hours after liftoff from the Cape.

At Hollywood, Mrs. Cecil Kaufman told newsmen that Erler called her, threatening to take his own life because, "I couldn't be a parakeet in a cage I don't want people shaking their finger at me." i MRS. KAUFMAN, described as a friend of the fprmer Hollywood policeman, said she called Car! King, acting chief of police at Hollywood, to her home In case Erler called again. King said he asked Erler, on a later call, if he wanted to talk about the crime. "He said he did and I explained all his rights," King said.

"He was about to talk when he told me his mother had arrived and he I wanted to talk to her first." Erler called again, the police chief said, and told him, "I have a gun at my head and I'm going to kill myself," and hung up. King said he called Erl-er's brother, Danny, here and warned him to "get him back on the phone before he kills himself or shoots someone else." IT WAS about this time that Danny Erler called Deputy Dave Koelsch, who knew his brother, to the apartment. Koelsch and Danny talked to the ex-policeman 45 minutes before he finally handed the gun over to his brother. The mother and a sister also were in on part of the tense meeting. King said Danny then called him to say, "Butch gave me his gun and he's on the way downtown." Shortly after the Clark girl was killed and her mother, Mrs, Dorothy Clark, 42, Clarkston, found critically wounded, Hollywood police got a phone call.

A man told them, "I just killed three people I'm serious. Please catch me. Please." ERLER HAD reported discovering the body. He told his superiors he failed to get the name of the couple who told him about it. He took a leave to visit his family here, and later returned to Hollywood Sept.

5 to resign from the force. The charge was filed Saturday after Mrs. Clark recovered enough to give Hollywood police a clue to the slayer. Erler, back in Phoenix, received a telephone call at his mother's home Saturday and left, telling his family, according to Koelsch, that "I'm in trouble. I don't want you to be involved." Police spotted Danny Sunday near the apartment to which Erler moved, but held back until Koelsch could talk him into surrendering.

The job of acting director, and per haps the future full-time director, of the nation's space program. James E. Webb, who has been NASA's administrator for the eight years of the space agency's formal existence, announced Paine's selection as acting administrator Monday as he announced his own pending retirement. What Webb said, without words, was that Dr.

Paine, a newcomer of brief experience with NASA, had been jumped over a host of his seniors to run the space program at least temporarily after Webb's October 7 retirement and that he was "qualified" to do it. NASA'S prospective boss has an unusual scientific background. He has been a submarine officer, and a well-decorated one, in the Navy. He is a qualified Navy diver, a specialist in nuclear power plants using liquid metals, and a metallurgist. He also holds a number of basic patents in the field of magnetism.

Moreover, Dr. Paine who is a graduate of Brown University and the Naval Academy (with a bachelor's degree in engineering) and the holder of a orate from Stanford University Is a former head of General Electric's Instrument i i i in which he helped develop aviation and aeronautics guidance instruments and systems.

Then at 5 p.m., just 10 minutes and 30 seconds shy of the simulated liftoff, what appeared to be a computer problem developed to throw a further delay into the test. A GROUND computer and the flight computer in the instrument unit which will guide the giant Saturn into space discovered a "glitch," space jargon for what World War II aviators termed "gremlins." A NASA spokesman said troubleshooters were not immediately able to isolate the problem and the count was resumed at 6:04 a.m. leading to an' end to the test slightly more than 10 minutes later.
