Endurance Record Set By Balloonists Principal Concern Was Safe Return MINNEAPOLIS.’ Minn. (UPD — Two space explorers who set an endurance record in a balloon flight to the stratosphere said Sunday night their‘own concern -was getting back to earth safely, Navy Cmdrs. Malcolm Ross and M. Lee Lewis (ret) plummeted into, a North Dakota pasture Sunday afternoon, bounced 2.000 feet into the air and then bumped along the ground before coming to a stop. • They carried 12.000 insects housed in bottles as part of an experiment on the effect of cosmic rays on reproduction: Lewis said they also carried a number of stowaway mosquitoes. ‘■They were happier with us than we were with them.’’ he said. The balloonists told a news conference after their return here that failure of a switch to cut the 17-story-high balloon from the gondola was responsible for the jarring descent. Ross, 38, and Lewis, 45,. began their historic flight Saturday and soared to an altitude of 82.000 feet before beginning their descent Sunday morning. The space riders were aloft a record -34 hours and 39 minutes, breaking by more than two hours the, previous mark set last year by Lt. Col. Davis Simons of the! Air Force. The experimental flight set two important firsts. It was the first trip into the stratosphere in a pressurized gondola. The interior of the aluminum gondola maintained sea level pressure throughout the flight. In previous flights the balloonists used pressurized suits which limited their actions aloft. The balloonists also had the distinction of producing the first live television “show” from the substratosphere. The gondola was equipped with a tiny TV camera which enabled viewers in the Minneapolis - St. Paul area T to "see the interior of the gondola?* Ross and Lewis said the pressurized cabin made the flight “very comfortable,” although each slept only one hour during the trip.

Launch First Moon Rocket August 17 U. S. Is Planning For First Attempt CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. (UPD — The United States is planning to launch the first of four moon rockets Aug. 17 with the hope it will circle the moon in a “boomerang” shot, United Press International learned today. Sources close to the project said" scientists are still working TurF ously to cerify their computations for the venture, which will require split-second timing. But if the present schedule is followed, a three-stage Air Force rocket will be fired soon after dawn on the morning of the 17th —a Sunday. The moon will then be about 220,000 miles from the earth, the closest it ever gets. If the shot is successful, the rocket’s last stage will be caught in 'the moon’s gravitational pull and will circle it at least once and possibly several times. It will then head back toward earth and burn up when it reaches the atmosphere. The rocket—packed with instrumentation including television-like “ground scanning” devices—would thus explose for the first time the “dark side” of the moon, that portion of the sphere which never faces the earth. The sources stressed that the venture will not be considered completely successful unless the rocket completes .a figure-8 and to the earth’s atmosphere. It will then burn up. but where and how The rocket is expected to take i two days or more to arrive at i the moon, a quarter of which will 1 be visible from the earth up to midnight Aug. 19. 1

Thunderstorms Rake State Late Sunday Continued Showers Forecast In State United Press International Indiana almost got through the weekend without rain, but one of the wettest summers on record produced a new rash of thunderstorms late Sunday. While warmish but sub-normal temperatures continued and promised to stick around most of the week, showers returned after a two-day respite and also promised to stick around. The tundershowers were part of a broad belt that stretched from "the lower Ohio" and mid Mississippi valleys into portions of the Central and Southern plains. They brought drier and cooler air, but not enough to put much of a dent in a warm wave that spread over the state. Indianapolis got nearly an inch of rain, Lafayette, Cincinnati and South Bend about a quarter of an inch, and the Chicago and Fort Wayne areas less than that. Scattered showers and thundershowers were due today and tonight all around the state. There was likely the • showers would be ' general Wednesday and possibly again Thursday. But the weAtherm an said in his five-day outlook that precipitation , would average no more than half an inch. Temperatures ranged from 84 at South Bend and Fort Wayne to 92 at Evansville Sunday, and the Louisville area registered a hot , 95. Highs today will range in the 80s and 90s. lows tonight from 60 * to 70, and highs Tuesday from 85 to 89. Quality Photo Finishings AD Work Left Before 8:00 p. m.
