TEN THE NORTH ADAMS. MASSACHUSETTS. TRANSCRIPT WEDNESDAY AFTERNOON. MAY 18, 1966' Investigation Itogins Date for Another Gemini 9 Attempt Depends on What Caused Failure Ily A BENEDICT CAPE KENNEDY, Fla. (AP) While an investigation board probed the multimillion-dollar failure til Gemini 9's Atlas-Agena target rocket, launch crews pushed ahead today in hopes of launching astronauts Thomas P.

Stafford and Eugene A. Cernan in two or three weeks. NOTICE! FRANK BUSHIKA Sand and Gravel Co. Plant and Yard Will Be Closed All Day Saturday, May 21st. When Stafford and Cernan can make another slab at their rendezvous and space walk mission will depend on the precise cause of Tuesday's failure.

The results could affect not only the Gemini 9 date, but also several other Atlas-boosted space launchings scheduled here and Vandenberg Air Force Base in California in the next Iwo months. Fulure of Program 'Also at stake is the future of Ihe U.S. man in space program. But officials of Ihe National Aeronautics and Space Administration said they were confident that a quick rescheduling of Gemini 9 plus the launching of the three remaining Gemini flights at two-month intervals -would provide all the data necessary to proceed to the three- man Apollo moon project. The Air Force, which Is responsible for the Gemini launch vehicles, reported five hours after Tuesday's failure that one of the three engines in the Atlas booster had swiveled wildly to one side which missilemen term a hardover and sent Ihe Atlas-Agena combination tumbling out of control.

The other two Alias engines continued to burn, but Ihe vehicle was diving back toward earth instead of into space. It plunged into the Atlantic Ocean about 1BO miles southeast of Cape Kennedy, near Grand Bahama Island. PROM AND GRADUATION DRESSES FOR THAT VERY SPECIAL DAY! 30 EAGLE ST. FOR YOUR WEDDING!

Evening Appointments Arranged The failure was only Ihe third in the last 52 launchings in which the Atlas has served as a booster. Technical Kevlcw Air Force Maj.

Gen. Ben I. Funk, chairman of the Gemini Flight Safety Review Board, called for an immediate technical review of the failure. He said that when the exact cause is pinpointed all Atlases slated for flight will be examined to make certain the same problem would not occur. A crew began cleaning up the Allas-Agena launch pad today and NASA hoped to erect another Atlas within a few days.

But instead of an Agena, a less sophisticated target satellite will be used. It is called an Augmented Target Docking Adapter a device that was built quickly after an Agena failed to achieve orbit on the original Gemini 6 launching attempt last Oct. 25. Several weeta would be required to ready another Agena and it would have to be borrowed from Gemini 10, 11 or 12. The ATDA, which has been on standby in a Cape Kennedy hangar, could be ready to go in two weeks.

Not All Goals By using the ATDA as a docking target, Stafford and Cernan will not be able to accomplish all the goals of their aborted flight. For one thing, the. ATDA has no propulsion system and the astronauts wilt not be able to maneuver through Ihe skies with it. They also will have to restrict some of the complex rendezvous maneuvers planned. But Dr.

George E. Mueller, NASA associate 'administrator for manned space flight, said most of the Gemini 9 objectives could be met with the ATDA. The major goal is docking practice, an essential man-to- the-tnoon technique. D.F.Gordon Jr. Is Promoted In Texas by Army Donald F.

Seek New Vote on Merger BENNINGTON Petitions are being circulated which if signed by enough local voters will require town selectmen to call another vote on municipal consolidation. Circulation of the petitions has been initialed by the Bennington League of Women voters but according to a League spokesman, other local residents are involved in seeking the new vote. A League delegation Tuesday asked selectmen to call another unification vote "in the ncav future." But selectmen, while not taking a formal stand, appeared inclined to follow the recommendation of the Unification Study Committee which was that no new vote to be held at this time but that towards the end of the summer selectmen reconvene the committee and ask it to come up with a recommendation on a date for a new vote probably sometime during the fall. Adoption of a special town charter under which the town, its three villages and one fire district could unify into a single municipality, was.turned down by town voters April.

26 by a 935 to 038 count. The petition calls upon selectmen to hold a special town meeting for a new unification vote within 60 days from the date of the petition's presentation to the town governing board. The League spokesman noted a the 60 days would give selectmen some "leeway" in settling upon the date for the vote. To be valid the petitions must be signed by at least some 380 town voters. This represents 5 per cent of the town's eligible voters as specified by.

the adoption procedures listed in the special charier enabling act approved by Ihe stale legislature.
