In an interview Friday, Cooper' said a miniature transmitter will flash images of the inside of the spacecraft back to earth when it is within range of a receiving station. Alan B. Shepard the nation's first spaceman who is Cooper's backup man said the television picture of Cooper won't be on commercial networks at least immediately. "The transmitter will be operating on a different scan speed," Shepard said. "The pictures could be shown on commercial television later after the scan speed is converted." The Russians saw their cosmonauts via television on their last two space flights but this will be the first time the United States has used such in flight transmitters.

Cooper said his Mercury spacecraft also will carry for the first time a ball with strobe lights, which will be released to test man's vision in space at night. It also will have an experimental fuel expulsion cylinder which may improve the operation of the crucial attitude control Jets on future spacecraft. Cooper said the ball, bearing two strobe lights, will be put into free flight from the Mercury capsule during one of tjie orbits. Cooper will then find out how well he can see the blinking ball at varying distances ranging from a mile upward. He said the fuel expulsion test tank ill be along jusi for observation.

It will not be tied in to the attitude control jets of his spacecraft. Some of the astronauts have run disturbingly low on fuel for the attitude jets in past flights. The jets are used to position the spacecraft so that it can re-enter the earh's atmosphere without burning up. Cooper said he is scheduled to sleep about eight hours during the flight. He will be awakened by an alarm set off by radio impulse from the earth.

Cooper is the last of the original seven Mercury astronauts who Rome Firemen Call Oil Strike ROME Rome's firemen today called off a two-day strike set for this weekend.

The average age of the Mercury astronauts is 37 2-3, while the nation's nine newest astronauts average 32'i. Harvard Man JFK Returns To Big Game HYANNIS PORT.
