Project Mercury May Win A Stay

CAPE CANAVERAL <UPD—I Project Mercury, the U.S. man-' in space program that had been expected to get the ax after the flight of Astronaut L. Gordon ccooper Jr., may yet win a stay. The reason- Under the original scheme of things, the United i States has suddenly found itself facing an 18-month eclipse of j manned space flights. That sort of lag could be diffi- i cult to explain, particularly in : light of this nation’s S2O billion pledge to put men on the moon about five years from now. Eigh- ■ teen months is nearly one-third of that time —a long stretch to do' without so much •as one practice I run in space. Project Mercury, the SSOO mil- i lion effort that first put America 1 in the man-in-space business,' had been scheduled to end with a successful flight by Cooper. Shift Into High Plans called for an immediate : shift into high gear on Project ■ Gemini, the program designed to put two-man teams, of astronauts . into earth orbits for periods up, to two weeks, and a resultingly | stronger push for the man-to-the moon Apollo Project. But, as a poet once said, “the best-laid plans of mice and men” oft go as tray. There lias been some question as to whether the U.S. manned space flight plans have been the best, and they certainly have gone astray — particularly in the realm of Project Gemini. D. Brainerd Holmes, director of manned spaceflight for the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) has just told Congress that the first

manned flight in the Gemini program has slipped into the last quarter of 1964 — which means that project is further in the future now than it was six months ago. Some sources have pinned the blame on the refusal of the Kennedy administration to appropriate supplemental funds for the program in the fiscal 1963 budget. Reshuffle Likely Whatever the reason, a fullscale reshuffling of America's man-in-space effort is shaping up along three fronts: - —There is a strengthening drive within NASA's ranks for at least one more Mercury flight to help fill the gap between now and Gemini. —Gemini itself is caught in a squeeze. With a stretched-out Mercury program and with the Apollo Project essentially on time. Gemini's role in NASA’s grand scheme is rapidly eroding There is a chance the whole works may be palmed off on the Air Force before the first twoman spaceship ever leaves the ground. —Apollo is the kingpin. A push is under way to channel still more money and manpower into this budding giant, even at the expense “of Gemini, to get“ the' first Saturn-boosted Apollo flights off the ground and into.earth orbits for rehearsal flights by 1965. The Mercury program already is gearing up for its part in such a situation. Two more bell-shaped capsules of the type that Cooper will ride are being readied at Cape Canaveral, and a pair of Atlas booster rockets are stored in San Diego, Calif., just in case.

Pin Medical Hope On Young Student

By DANIEL F. Byrne and MICHAEL C .EMERY United Press International MINNEAPOLIS, Minn. (UPD— A medical team looked today to the combination of two medical breakthroughs—the artificial kidney and transplantation of human organs—to save countless lives. Much of their hope was pinned on a teen - aged University of Minnesota student who only a few months' ago was dying of diseased kidneys. Today he is preparing to return to his studies with an artificial kidney in place ■While debtors prepare to attempt another transplant Doctors have long sought to reduce the toll of kidney ailments that kills thousands every year. They have experimented with kidney transplants between human beings for about three years. But about three of every four transplants failed —and the patients died. Patients Die There also has been a successful artificial kidney machine in operation for about three years which can keep a kidney patient alive by cleansing his blood frequently. A team of Minneapolis doctors tied the two together. If a transplant failed, they reasoned, there- was no need for the patient to die. The kidney machine could be put into use to keep the patient alive indefinitely until another transplant could be tried. Twice this year, Dr. Claude R. Hitchcock, chief of surgery, director of surgery research at the Minneapolis General Hospital and a surgery professor at the University of Minnesota, and his staff have performed kidney transplants. The first patient, a 65-year-old woman, died Feb. 28, 15 days after her operation of reaction to drugs used to control her body's rejection of the new kidney. Hope Nearly Gone The second patient was Michael Michalik, 18, of Minneapolis. He had two diseased kidneys and was dying. A transplant failed and Four Drivers Fined ♦ In Decatur Court Four drivers paid fines in Judge John B. Stults’ city court this morning. David W. Brooks, a resident of route 2, Berne, paid a fine of $1 and costs, totaling $19.75, on a charge of unlawful speed. Arthur William Callow, route 3, Decatur, paid an identical fine, also on a charge of unlawful speed. Both were arrested by the Indiana state police over the weekend, and were cited into court this morning. William" T. Stotlar, a Bluffton resident, paid a fine of $1 and costs also, this morning. He was arrested for public intoxication following a two-car accident early Sunday morning. William W. Fifer, route 1, Decatur. also paid a fine of $1 and costs this morning. Fifer was ar-rested-following an accident on U. S. 27 last week and charged with failure to yield the right of way.

hope for him was nearly gone In trying to save Michalik’s life, Hitchcock and his team turned to the use of an artificial kidney developed at the University of Washington Seattle. I It was the first artificial kidney developed which a patient can use repeatedly. Hie patient can be treated by other types only once or twice for fear of damage to the blood. One of Seattle’s artificial kidneys was brought to Minneapolis. Soon, the doctors ...plan to try. another transplant op. Michalik. If -it fails, they will try..again, relying on the artificial kidney to ’keep him alive.
