from the moon by two astronauts who might have to make a hasty rendezvous with an Apollo ship in lunar orbit Second it demonstrated the ability of the astronauts to use their computer inertial guidance system and radar to calculate all their maneuvers on board instead of receiving help from ground stations as earlier Gemini hunters did The astronauts reported only one minor problem in the rendezvous and docking exercise had some sort of a funny during Conrad said couldn't switch anten-naes and on our third correction we had no A backup system was used to do the job and after completing the docking the pilots reported the antenna switching system used in calculating elevation was working Short lv after docking Conrad fired (he Gemini thruster rockets to push the Agena forward Purpose of this experiment is to test the technique and accuracy of a direct contact method of determining the weight of an orbiting objoct in this case the Agena The ground knows the precise Agena weight and officials want to see if instruments aboard Gemini 11 can come up with the Same figure during the test Before the ambitious space flight got off the ground there were two scrubs and a last-minute quarter-hour delay Once in the air however everything clicked with split-second precision Thief Loots Gas Station MARTINEZ Approximately $400 in currency was taken from a locked cabinet of Shell

S-26 is an experiment in which sensors aboard the Agena measure Gemini so-called ion a trail of electrified particles flowing behind the spacecraft like the wake of a boat moving through water Scientists believe a thorough knowledge of the spacecraft wake might enable them to develop instruments to detect this ion flow at great distances This could be a possible guide for rendezvousing with future spaceships The experiment was to continue about 90 minutes Conrad 38 called out as Gemini approached for the record rendezvous: you bclive eaual equal is the astronaut's term for first-orbit rendezvous When Conrad told the ground he used only 44 per cent of his fuel to accomplish the docking mission control replied: great Experts had said as much as 75 per cent of the fuel might be required for the tricky maneuvering of Gemini ll The 80-minute link at 17500 miles an hour easily topped the old rendezvous mark of four hours set bv tin Gemini 9 astronauts in June The dramatic pursuit triggered what should be an action-packed three days in space Ahead lay a 107-minute space walk and 140-minute by Gordon a dash to a record altitude of 863 miles and a unique experiment in which the Agena and Gemini will be tied together by a 100-foot line The fast maneuvering achieved with almost no help from the ground has two important implications for America's Apollo man to the moon program Viet Election Win Over Reds (Continued from Page 1) the voters some cast blank ballots of protest but said the number was far smaller than the 15 per cent who cast defacet ballots in the

second thoughts about the election they so roundly condemned as a The election was the first step toward restoring civilian government and it demonstrated that regime has effective administrative control over the majority of South Viet Nam It was a dramatic defeat for the Communists who mounted a campaign of terror in the days preceding the voting and a slap in the face for the once-powerful radical Buddhist minority which had called for a boycott of the polling The assembly will have six months to draw up a new constitution after It meets Sept 26 to replace the one which was abrogated
