Moscow time, contacted the earth by radio and said he was feeling well and that everything was normal aboard the ship, Tass said. His spaceship went into orbit at 11:30 a.m., Saturday, Moscow time 4:30 p. m. EDT Saturday. Moscow radio said his three meals on the first day of his historic flight included one of natural food.

Previous spacemen, Soviet and American, had taken their food from tubes. fell -3 mm There was no official word on how long Nikolayev planned to stay in orbit, but there was a speculation of a record-shattering flight of a week. himself. But don't rush it. Extemporize.

No that's no good. Let's get it out. "What kind of trouble?" "It's something that in some people can be treated so that they can live for 20 years," he replied, "You don't have that long." "How long do I have?" "A year, perhaps two. "Can you put a name to it?" "Yes: Acute myelogenous leukemia." Afterwards the patient could not recall what he said. Something about how to go about telling his wife, his two daughters, his son.

To set up an interview between them and the doctor so that he might explain the situation in detail. And then to get time to think, to plan, to think some more. To come to the realization that the words "a year, perhaps two" were the optimistic forecast of a man of science. That, in fact, it could be less much less. Right now there was nothing more to be said.

He thanked the doctor and the intern and walked back to his hospital bed, seeing no one. His mind was like a television screen on which the picture has suddenly begun to spin out of vertical control, the picture whirling so rapidly that the eye could not focus on any detail. A Game of Chess Then habit asserted its control. A neighboring patient, a 14-year-old boy, who had tried to stop a chain saw with his shin and nearly lost a leg, wheeled into the room for his afternoon game of chess. The 54-year-old newspaperman and the schoolboy played five games.

The boy won two and exulted. Suddenly the man was weary. He broke off the contest and told the boy he wanted to rest. The resort operator and his wife were talking quietly. The newspaperman lay back and stared at the hospital wall.

2 sat up. The physician had come to see him, come as he had for the past 15 days, bringing the latest word on a series of tests and examinations. The doctor cast a quick glance around and then said: "Let's go out in the hall and talk." The hall was semi-dark as are most hospital corridors. And filled with hospital sounds. The slither of rubber-soled shoes on terrazo floors as nurses scurried about their duties, the whimper of small children in a nearby tonsillectomy ward, the clatter of bedpans.

The patient seated himself in a straight-backed chair, the doctor pulling up a small bench, the intern standing silently to one side. You're In Trouble' "We've got the report on the last bone marrow test," said the physician. "It's not complete but complete enough to know you're in trouble. Serious trouble." The patient did not move. But his mind Khrushchev mentioned in a message to the astronaut that he would have "quite a number of 1 to orbits." Takes Over Controls Nikolayev reported that his ap petite was good and that weight lessness caused him no qualms.

Soviet reports said he took the controls twice, enabling him to direct orientation of the ship. Tass said that when he resumed contact with the earth after his sleeping period the ship was under automatic control. At the same time, a check was being made of his health.
