Gemini 7 Spaceship Poised For Dry Run Test At Florida Cape

CAPE KENNEDY UPI— The Gemini 7 spaceship set to take two astronauts on a two-week orbital voyage must pass an important dry run today to be clearing for launch next Saturday. If the 12-hour simulated flight test is successful, project officials will start final preparations for the record-breaking endurance flight of astronauts Frank Borman and James Lovell. But if the rehearsal turns up any problems, the Gemini 7 launch could be delayed. A postponement in the BormanLovell flight would also affect the Dec. 13 launching of the Gemini 6 rendezvous ship with

astronauts W’alter Schirra and Thomas Stafford aboard. Today’s exercise was designed to put the two-stage Titan 2 rocket and its 8,000-pound payload through three mock launches and abbreviated flights. The booster and spacecraft were rigged to simulate electronically each flight event just as if the craft were actually launched and climbing into space. Borman and Lovell were scheduled to climb into their capsule in the afternoon portion of the drill to monitor spacecraft instruments and test its systems.

intention now of bombing the capital of Hanoi or its seaport, Haiphong. At the same time. Secretary of State Dean Rusk told a news conference the North Viet Nam appears to be changing its previously stated basic demands for an end to the war to “preconditions” for talks rather than subjects for discussion. Foremost among the demands laid down by the Communists has been U. S. withdrawal from South Viet Nam. The stepup in bombing raids was described as an increase in the number of sorties now being flown in an attempt to curtail the flow of men and equipment from the north into South Viet Nam. At present, U. S. pilots are believed to be flying about 1.000 sorties a week.

Johnson Views Protest As Sign Of Free Debate

JOHNSON CITY, Tex. UPI— President Johnson viewed the anti-war protest in Washington today as a healthy sign of free debate, but remained convinced most Americans support his Viet Nam policy. The chief executive was reported to feel that backing for administration efforts to counter Communist aggression in southeast Asia has increased in recent weeks as Viet Cong offensives were stepped up. His view* warm made known

by White House Press Secretary Bill D. Moyers as Johnson began preparations for meetings with three world leaders in the third week of December, probably at his LBJ Ranch. The march in the nation's capital, including the display of Viet Cong flags alongside the Stars and Stripes, was seen by the White House as a valid expression of minority dissent. Similar protests in the past have annoyed Johnson. The great majority of Ameri-

cans support the president’s policy of frustrating Communist aggression and diligently seeking a peaceful settlement in Viet Nam, Moyers said. “It’s not easy for Americans to give that support when the price is paid in the blood of American soldiers , . . but they do give it,” he said. Johnson spent most of Friday afternoon discussing his new budget with Budget Director Charles Schultze and hi* deputy Elmer Staata.

Nam.
