George Romney, visited an agricultural school in southern Japan today under blue autumn skies. Gov. John H. Reed of Maine, leader of the group, said the governors were "tremendously impressed by the advanced state of efficiency" at the school in Miyazaki Province, on the island of Kyushu.

The day started with a film depicting activities and progress in the province. The governors are touring southern Japan after attending the annual U.S. Japan Governors' Conference in Tokyo. They were joined Monday by Gov. John Chafee of Rhode Island.

Their tour of Japan ends Nov. 2 at Osaka, Japan's second-largest city. The group will fly to Hong Kong for two days and go to South Viet Nam on Nov. 5. colonel, and Lovell, a Navy commander, had been scheduled for launching about Dec.

10, but sources indicated they lie game was virtually a title require five to 10 days of radio signal evaluation to pinpoint the cause of failure. There was speculation that another Atlas-Agena would have to be fired without a Gemini launching Involved to determine if corrections made are adequate. Without such a firing, Schirra, a Navy captain, and Stafford, an Air Force major, could make another Gemini 6 attempt in February. If an extra Atlas-Agena is ordered, they would have to wait until March or April. The space agency bad hoped to complete the 12-shot Gemini program by late next year to clear the decks for initial earth orbit flights with the three.man Apollo moon ship.

These are scheduled to start in early 1968. Unless one or more of the Gemini flights Is canceled, It now seems unlikely the Gemini program can be ended next year. When asked if Monday's fail-ure meant the Soviets might achieve the first man-in-space docking, Mueller replied: "They certainly have a better chance now than they did this Viet Nam Tour CAN THO, South Viet Nam (AP) Viet Cong snipers fired on Sen. Edward M. Kennedy and three other U.S.

lawmakers today as helicopters were preparing to land them at a special forces camp in the Mekong River delta. None of the helicopters was hit and no one was injured. The four visitors said they did not notice the sniper' fire although they heard and saw armed helicopters escorting them attack the snipers. The incident occurred less than two miles from the Cambodian border in Klen Phong Province, about 50 miles west of Can Tho. The other lawmakers were Sen.

Joseph D. Tydings, and Reps. John C. Culver, D-Iowa, and John V. Tunney, D-Calif.

The congressional party was approaching the special forces camp at Cai Cai with newsmen in four helicopters escorted by three armed helicopters. A pilot aboard one of the gunships estimated there were four or five rounds of sniper fire. When the firing began, the couia go as eariy as Dec. z. The earlier date would be possible because the Titan 2 already has been thoroughly checked for Gemini 6.

Plans for the six remaining Gemini shots are scrambled. PERFECTING METHOD All are to be Agena rendezvous and docking shots, emphasizing the importance. NASA places on perfecting this maneuver. All but Gemini 6 involve walks in space by one of the astronauts. A major question raised by the Agena failure was why this ORIENTAL HONOR: A symbolic shoulder load of wood is hoisted by Sen.

relatively new rocket had not undergone a more thorough test CAPE KENNEDY, (AP) The National Aeronautics and Space Administration pushed ahead with plans for the 14-day Gemini 7 flight today while engineering detectives sought the cause of the failure of the Agena rocket that wrecked the Gemini I mission. There also wai some second fuelling on whether the modified Agena should have been fired for the first time on a mis-lion as important as Gemini 6. The Agena failure wiped out an intended chase across the sky by astronauts Walter M. Schirra Jr. and Thomas P.

Stafford. They had planned to catch and book onto the Agena in a vital rehearsal for later man-to-the-moon flights. LAUNCHING CANCELLED Their launching was called off when the Agena apparently exploded or broke apart 6 minutes 10 seconds after launching. "It'a a sweet spacecraft, save It for me," commented a disappointed Schirra. "We'll have a better go at It next time," said Stafford.

"Next time" will be at least four months off, possibly six. Robert Seamans, associate director of the space agency, and Robert Gilruth, head of the Manned Spacecraft Center, said the failure would not delay the over-all goal of landing the first Americans on the moon in 1969. However, additional failures to rendezvous with an Agena in the Gemini program would be a serious setback. The Apollo manned lunar landing program is based on the ability of two astronauts to rendezvous with another vehicle for return to earth after they have explored the moon. NEXT SPACE FLIGHT With the Gemini-Agena flights sidelined temporarily, Dr.

George Mueller, NASA associate administrator for manned space flight, directed removal of the Gemini 6 spacecraft from its Titan 2 rocket. He said it would be replaced by the Gemini 7 capsule, now undergoing Talks Resume WYANDOTTE (AP) -Talks in the 172-day-old Wyandotte Chemicals Corp. strike were scheduled to resume this eight minutes. The first passenger helicopter to set down at the camp carried Culver and Tunney and the second Kennedy armed helicopters swooped down and made five passes firing rockets while the other helicopters hovered overhead.

Gen. Ben I. Funk, commander of the Air Force Space Systems Division which provided the Agena for the launching, said the rocket had not been test launched previously because both Air Force and NASA officials had confidence in the system. MODIFIED ROCKET However, he noted that It wag a "considerably different" rocket than the earlier Agenas. Among additions to Monday's Agena was a secondary propulsion system used to help stabilize the The first hint of trouble came after this system ignited and instruments on the ground recorded a rapid rise in pressure within the vehicle.

This pressure may have caused, the Agena to burst apart.
