Young Brown Outlines Bid To Run For Governor Again WASHINGTON AP Governor Edmund Brown expects to seek a third term in office A source close to the California congressional delegation who asked not to be identified said Brown made his announcement at a closed meeting of the group yesterday The source said Brown declared he would be a candi-date for the Democratic gubernatorial nomination no ifs ands or buts A week ago Democratic State Controller Alan Cranston told newsmen in Sacramento the governor told him and1 he had to run for a third Brown refused then to comment one way or another on report Brown came to Washington to attend a White House dinner for governors last night and to discuss the farm labor question with Secretary of Labor Willard Wirtz Grissom Glenn Carpenter Nikolayev Popovich Schirra in termed the flight "truly and said it demonstrated the extraordinary maneuverability of the Gemini craft Grissom who became the first man to rocket twice into space and Young were in the air four hours 54 minutes in a flight that covered more than 81000 miles In what was described as a they experienced only a few minor technical difficulties Grissom reported the Molly Brown responded well to his control and he was able to steer over the sky with ease Flown By Hand From the moment of reaching orbit until landing the spacecraft was flown manually and did not rely on automatic equipment as did the one man Mercury capsules Young a fledgling spaceman took over the controls for the first time during the third orbit flying it for some 20 minutes Then the veteran Grissom in space for the second time resumed control and guided the Molly Brown to a parachute landing in the Atlantic Ocean about 2:20 PM near Grand Turk Island where recovery ships and planes were on the alert The mission control center at Cape Kennedy called to- Tereshkova Komarov Yegorov an: Foektistov Leonov and Grissom and an techniques developed Russians moon flight scheduled in June astronaut James McDivitt is scheduled to emerge partially at least from his spacecraft Twenty minutes after liftoff while Grissom and Young soared high over Africa they checks of their life support system Grissom reported to a tracking station in the Canary Islands that all systems were working well The 90 foot tall Titan sent thunder rolling across the cape as it blasted into the sky and as it penetrated the cold air of the upper atmosphere a wide vapor trail blossomed out behind it As the rocket sped above 35000 feet a pair of F4C Phantom II jet planes whipped in behind it adding their vapor trails to the ones already in the sky The planes carried cameras to record the rising flight as it passed through an area of aerodynamic thrust Sonic booms created by the fast moving planes resounded like exploding artillery shells over the cape As the spacecraft swooped over east Africa during the first orbit Grissom activated one of three scientific experiments planned on the flight He rotated the handle of a 25 ounce container mounted inside the spacecraft The container carried sea urchin eggs which Grissom' was to fertilize at various times Experts later will try to determine the effect of weightless flight on the growth of these eggs -About the same time Grissom exercised several methods of manually controlling his craft He manipulated the control sticks which are located in the center of the vehicle between him and Young He reported to the tracking station in Kano Nigeria that the controls functioned smoothly Although the flight scored a first in maneuverability the US is behind manned space program an expects to stay there unti1 development of the more powerful Saturn booster Some three hours before Grissom and Young vaultec into space Russian cosmonauts Alexei Leonov and Pavel Belyayev returned to Moscow to a welcome for their flight last week year old navy lieutenant commander had to remain in the capsule only 23 minutes longer than originally planned as the launch crew went through a near perfect countdown The launching was delayed 25 minutes because of a leak in a fuel oxidizer line The launching was delayed 23 minutes because of a leak in a fuel

floated outside the space ship Leonov and fellow cosmonaut Colonel Pavel Belyayev were hugged by Leonid I the Communist party chief and premier Alexei Kosygin Then they were presented with highest award the title of maneuvers The 38 year old Grissom an air force major and the first man to rocket twice into space operated the jets that thrust the capsule into nearly circular orbit ranging from 97 to 105 miles high A Titan rocket had origi- Turn Of Wrench Breaks Tension CAPE KENNEDY Fla AP Breaking all traditions of his trade a plumber showed up with the proper tools today and deftly corrected a bit of trouble in the Gemini space ship While the astronauts waited atop their rocket on the launch pad there came a moment of tension The control center announced suspect a leak in an oxidizer line" But then the space plumber arrived with the right wrench gave it one control center said hap- pily leak has been nally launched the craft officially called Gemini 3 into an orbit with a high point of 140 miles and a low of 100 miles Ability to maneuver a spacecraft is essential before space rendezvous and flight onward to the mdon can be accomplished Like test pilots taking a high powered aircraft through a trial run Grissom and Young gave their craft a thorough shakedown in a rehearsal for longer flights and eventual rendezvous missions A series of 10 Gemini flights will be followed by the Apollo Moon program The Molly Brown was named by the astronauts after the musical The Unsinkable Molly Brown an allusion to first spaceship which sank in the Atlantic Ocean after return from a sub orbital flight While President Lyndon Johnson and millions more watched on television the Titan thundered into the skies at 9:24 AM eastern time Before the first orbit was completed the mission control center gave the green light for a second go round and the astronauts accepted the message with pleasure Midway through the second orbit they were given the okeh for a third The drop in orbital altitude was not a sudden tiling As the thruster jets fired for 77 seconds the spacecraft moved gradually into its new path as it sailed over Georgia at about 17400 miles an hour Midway through the second orbit Grissom conducted another space craft maneuver which will be important to future rendezvous flights He twisted the capsule around 90 degrees so it was flying sideways and pointing south Then he fired his forward jets for 15 seconds to shoot the craft-onto an orbital path about one and a half miles south of the original course Then he quickly turned the space craft around 180 degrees so it was pointing north and executed a number of rapid jet firings to simulate action which might have to be taken as a spacecraft approaches a target satellite on a rendezvous mission In another space first the United States Syncom com-' munications satellite was used to relay -information from the Molly Brown to the ground tracking network while the spacecraft flew above the Indian Ocean on orbit 2 Syncom 2 which had been used as a backup relay during the early portions of the flight became a main re-ay point when a tracking station in Australia was cut off briefly from communications During orbit No 3 Grissom ired the jets again to drop the low point of the orbit to 52 miles an altitude that allows the spacecraft to be automatically drawn back to earth by gravity and atmospheric friction Only three minor problems developed in this first flight yy a steerable spacecraft Two involved a secondary electronic system associated with a thruster jet and a slight pressure drop in a fuel system Both problems corrected themselves in a short time The other involved the blood pressure cuff on arm which he said was unable to operate Grissom and Young a 34 J'hen Leonov stepped out of is craft into space Americans do not plan to match this feat for several months Grissom straightened out one minor problem that developed over Africa and a short time later the mission control center at Cape Kennedy gave him the green light for a second orbit He replied that the crew was in Some difficulty had developed in a secondary electronic system associated with a jet thruster that helps ma neuver the craft but Grissom reported over Australia that the problem had been solved It was astronaut Pete Conrad who is to make a seven day Gemini flight later this year

occurred during the political which won him foe vice presidential berth alongside President Victor Paz Estenssoro of the Nationalist Revolutionary Movement Alice Blue Gown Composer Dies NEW Harry Tierney 74 composer for Broadway musicals of foe 1920s died yesterday of a heart attack Tierney wrote the score for three Ziegfeld Follies Best known of his individual compositions was Alice Blue Gown from foe musical Irene A native of Perth Amboy NJ Tierney was a concert pianist and wrote a number of compositions for foe London stage and for Hollywood firms He was a founder of the American Society of Composers Authors and Hero of the Soviet Union Cheered by thousands en route from the airport to Red Square the cosmonauts stood atop Lenin's tomb and took foe salute of foe crowds below in foe square Belyayav spoke first His 12 minute speech recited foe scientific advances of the Voskhod 17 orbit 26 hour trip through space Thursday and Friday These included proving that a man can operate freely in space and testing the space-suit plus testing a manual control system of bringing down the spaceship Belyayev did not disclose what happened during foe unexplained two days between his landing in a dense snow covered forest and his first public appearance There have been indications the cosmonauts were lost for some time But he said he was greatly impressed by foe Perm region where he landed Brezhnev Near Tears As Leonov spoke Brezhnev appeared to be moved to tears Brezhnev backed out of the line of top Communists turned his back to the crowd and appeared to be blowing his nose He was standing on left deep darkness of foe sky and the brightness of foe stars charmed Leonov said Caucasus mounts with white flowers of snow atop them the sunshine on Sochi (a Soviet resort on the Black Sea) the blue Volga and foe gray line of foe Urals was looking at all this beauty and thinking how good it would be to have a real artist here (in Leonov said that the time not far off before there will be cosmic as platforms for travel to the moon and planets When Leonov finished his seven minute speech Brezhnev was back in line and joining in the applause and appeared to have regained his composure there is no doubt that eventually these steps will lead to the moon and other celestial bodies" Brezhnev said He said foe scientific feat will down in foe history of technology for all times1" Denounce America The bulk of the 30 minute speech was devoted however to a harsh denunciation of United States military activities in Viet Nam Brezhnev said foe Soviet Union is taking the necessary measures of assistance to strengthen the defense of North Viet Nam and added: You may rest assured comrades that we will discharge our international duty vis a vis the fraternal Socialist Brezhnev was foe first to hug the pair who orbited the earth last week Then Belyayev and Leonov were hugged by other top Soviet leaders including Kosygin President Anastas Mikoyan and party leaders

California Medical Association has failed to stop a bill requiring every newborn infant be tested for PKU an affliction that causes an apparently normal baby to become mentally retarded The assembly public health committee yesterday approved the measure setting up a mandatory testing program for the condition phenylketonuria after hearing CMA spokesman Dr Dan Kilroy of Sacramento say: may be that I am old fashioned It may be that doc tors are old fashioned But rather do things under free enterprise rather than' mandate" Warns Of Retardation Lawmakers also heard this -from Assemblyman Clair Buigener (R) of San Diego County father of a retarded child: tests are not made mandatory there will be born in California children who are mentally retarded and I certainly want that on my The tests on the urine or the blood are now given 1 a day or two after birth at' the discretion They determine if foe child has' PKU which occurs when the iver lacks a certain enzyme Without foe enzyme foe iver can not break down a rotein substance which ac-' cumulates as the child drinks milk and takes other protein rich food Within a short time foe accumulation damages fog brain If foe test turns up the condition the baby is given a special diet and re-tardation is prevented The author Assemblyman Leroy Greene (D) of Sacra- mento County said 40 of foe 400000 children bom in Cali- bmia next year will be af? flicted with PKU Many Cases Undetected And because tests now are optional he said only six eight of the cases will be found soon enough to change the diet and prevent brain damage Dr Kilroy agreed the medical of testing has not been under the present voluntary4 program But he said it would improve under a new public! health department program bill originally? called for a flat mandatory: testing program But when 1 opposition developed he( countered with an that would still set up a mandatory plan but only after the public health ment set up governing the tests The bill now goes to the ways and means committee-: for study of its cost Woman Arrested Hazel Williams 26 was ar- rested early today by the' police who reported she solicited an investigator in 1300 block of Tulare Street ported Molly Brown was in a successful orbit Thousands watched the aunch from the beaches around this spaceport Millions more watched on tele-vision Among these were Barbara Young and Betty Grissom

them to on their As the Gemini spacecraft hurtled into its first orbit the camera carrying Ranger 9 launched from here Sunday completed a mid course maneuver intended to send it crashing into the crater Al-phonsus on the moon at 4:08 AM Pacific time tomorrow Grissom the command pilot fired small jets to provide the final maneuver that steered the Molly Brown into orbit He thus helped himself to the distinction of becoming the first man to rocket twice into space On July 21 1961 he sailed briefly across the threshold of space on a 16 minute project Mercury sub orbital flight and in a hair raising finish swam for his life when his Liberty Bell 7 filled with water and sank Grissom and Young are the 18th and 19th persons and the seventh and eighth Americans to fly into space Russia has orbited 10 men and one woman Three Russian cosmonauts went aloft in the Voskhod I last October 16th in the first multi manned flight Just five days ago two more Russians shot into ofoit and one of them stepped outside the capsule in an historic space feat Although the Gemini spacecraft is about 4000 pounds lighter than the Voskhod it has a key capability which the Soviet vehicle did not It can be maneuvered so that astronaut teams can practice techniques that must be perfected for Project Apollo manned lunar landings planned late in this decade Both the ability to maneu- Copter Crashes In
