162 LOCK HAVEN, FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 8, 1967 14 Pages Ten Cents 'Most Accurate' Moon Rocket Starts Journey Scheduled to Land for Lunar Tests Sunday CAPE KENNEDY, Fla. (AP) Riding into space on the most accurate moon rocket ever launched by the United States, Surveyor 5 raced today toward a lunar soft landing with a camera and a small chemistry lab to analyze the soil. The mooncraft launching before dawn today climaxed a spectacular space doubleheader that started Thursday night with the orbiting of millions of "as- trobugs" and plants in a biomedical laboratory named Bio- satellite 2. Spider-shaped Surveyor started its intended 65-hour, lunar journey aboard an Atlas-Centaur rocket that blazed away from Cape Kennedy at 3:57 a.m. EOT.

Several hours later, the flight control center at Jet Propulsion Laboratory, Pasadena, reported the craft was on a near-perfect course that was only 37 miles off its target poin in the Sea of Tranquility. That's the most accurat shooting yet in 27 America moon launchings. The moon vehicle is to settle gently onto the moon's surfac Sunday night to investigate potential astronaut landing site with a camera and a miniatun chemistry lab that may, for the first time, tell scientists wha elements are present in the lu nar soil. The planned touchdown are is in the Sea of Tranquility 24 miles from the Crater Moltke. The two-shot spectacular started at 6:04 p.m.

Thursday when Biosatellite 2 and its cargo of more than 10 million insects plants and bacteria rode a Delia rocket into an orbit about 200 miles above the earth. During three days in space the specimens are to grow, reproduce and eat to determine how biological processes are affected by space weightlessness and radiation. The strange passenger list in eluded parasitic wasps, vinegar gnats, flour beetles, pepper plants, wheat seedlings, frog eggs, amoebae and bacteria. The National Aeronautics and Space Administration reported some difficulty in sending radio commands to the Biosatellite. Officials said they were overcoming the problem by repeatedly transmitting each com' mand until it is accepted by the payload.

The Biosatellite launching was delayed more than three hours by technical difficulties, including the late discovery that a of the parachute deployment been installed backwards.

McNamara also announced: remaining two brigades of the 101st Airborne Division will be among the additional 45,000 men destined for the war zone by June 30. -A new Army division, the 6th Infantry, is being created in January to offset troop deployments from strategic forces based in the United States.

The federal government has never invoked the Taft-Hartley Act to halt an auto strike. Ford has only one major defense contract, a $91.4 million one for 42,000 Jeeps from firm's Highland Park, plant. A company spokesman said the two firms are working, reluctantly, without a contract. If and when a contract is reached at Ford, the union will use it as pattern for settlement at the other two companies.
