Pleads Guilty To Six Counts
Astronauts To Wear Spacesuits SPACE CENTER, Houston UPI — America'* astronauts may soon wear conventional street clothing as they orbit the earth. But for spacemen Gordon Cooper and Charles Pete Conrad it will be spacesuits as usual Aug. 19. Cooper and Conrad will pilot the Gemini-5 spaceship on an eight-day mission. They said they suggested to space officials that they might make the upcoming flight without spacesuits, citing lack of emergencies in previous Gemini missions. But the national space agency vetoed the idea, at least for the present. Both men talked to newsmen Monday in the midst of their almost non-stop training for the new mission. “We felt the Gemini spacecraft had two very successful flights,” Cooper said. “It is an extremely safe w r ay to go.”
Cooper said working without the cumbersome suits would allow shorter training periods, more storage space in the cap-
sule and better hygiene.

Foreign News Commentary By JOSEPH W. GRIGG PARIS UPI — French President Charles de Gaulle’s current boycott of the European Common Market could well set a pattern for similar action towards the North Atlantic Treaty Organization NATO. By using the “empty chair” technique at Common Market headquarters in Brussels De Gaulle has succeded in bringing its operations to a standstill without staging an actual walkout. Many diplomats believe De Gaulle might use just the same tactics with NATO, L* he should fall out with it. There Is more than a casual parallel between the two cases. Fewer Advantages De Gaulle dislikes the Common Market because of its supranational aspects. He dislikes NATO for the same reason. Until the present Common Market crisis De Gaulle cooperated fully with it probably largely because it was to France’s advantage to do so. Now that the disadvantages seem to outweight the advantages in Di Gaulle’s mind he has staged a boycott and halted all further progress towards
a complete six-nation customs union. In the case of NATO De Gaulle has been reducing his cooperation progressively on the military side for a number of years. Now all but two French divisions and a number of tactical air force squadrons in Germany have been withdrawn from NATO command. French participation in the military side of the alliance is skimpy. There have been increasing rumors of late that De Gaulle might pull France out of NATO altogether in 1969 when the Atlantic treaty comes up for renewal. Seeks Revamping It is known that De Gaulle wants the 16-year-old treaty to be completely rewritten and NATO to be revamped so as to bring it more into line with what he considers present-day conditions. For instance. It Is certain that DeGaulle would like at that time to eliminate all the supra-national aspects of NATO.. Much obviously will depend then on how De Gaulle’s allies react. If they reject his demands for a total overhaul of NATO, many diplomats — including some informed French officials — believe De Gaulle might in fact walk out. Others believe he simply would use the “empty chair” boycott-particularly if it turns
out to be effective In the Common Market crisis.
