To add to their troubles, the drinking water tank in the command ship ran out of water, and they had to use plastic juice bags to take water from the lunar lander which still has supplies. In addition they charged batteries in the command ship with the electrical power from the moon lander which they will jettison Friday before re-entering the earth's atmosphere. At one point when Mission Control asked for another check of the batteries, Ijvell complained, "We've got to establish a work-rest cycle up here.

These figures, said the assistant Budget Bureau. director.i Maurice Mann, will reflect earlier problems much like the GNP, or will be indicators that lag behind other changes, such as consumer prices and unemployment. "We may still see some higher unemployment," he said. Mann's view was generally echoed by Asst.
