SPACE L.T. - OLDS. TUESDAY, RircB 27, 1962 (Given by Ri!ilia.rd Hottelet tT at ffli-Dlfflotn Mountain • • A briefing for aetronaute in Houston, Texas - s brought out some more facts about our space program. On hand to take part in the discuesione - John Glenn, Virgil Grissom, and Donald Slayton. Aleo the spokesman for their operation - Colonel John Powers. What can we look forward to - in space? First, Gemini - then Apollo. Classical name~ for a progreseion that will end •· w1 th a man on the moon. Gemini will involve an empty space ship in orbit - until it is boarded by two astronauts, arriving by rocket. Then, they'll be otf on - a flight around the moon and back. Some eighteen flights like this are being planned - before Apollo goes into operation. The biggest space ship or all, powered by the biggest rocket - zooming straight up from Cape Canaveral to a landing on the moon. ARGENTrnA The President of Argentina may weather the political etorm - after all. He thinks - that he will. President Arturo Frondizi, telling newemen - 11 I have not resigned, and I will not resign. 11 He's rejecting pressure from the military - and advice from former President Aramburu. Frondizi is more optimistic tonight - because hie party ie standing beside him. The Argentine Radicals, threaten to bolt the Congress in Buenos A1ree.- if their leader is forced out of office. ?Since they hold all forty-six seats in the senate, and a hundred and one out of two hundred and thirty-three in the lower house - their secession would paralyze the legislature. Thus, Frondizi still holds enormous power - in Argentina. Even his friends admit he's likely to need it - if he's to defeat the generals on one side, and the f'eronistas on the other. JOUBAUD The President of F rance is losin g no time - with captured General Edmond Jouhaud. DeGau l le has ordered Jouhaud to go on trial - within the next two wee k s. Thie, to make an example of the former I French Army Commander - who joined the Right Wing underground in Algeria. Who opposed DeGaulle - and did hie bit to disrupt Deaa\1e•e plan for an Algerian · Algeria. Jouhaud will be tried by - a military court. The charge - high treason. The verdict - almost certainly "guilty." The penalty - probably death, unless DeGaulle exercises presidential clemency. Which those around him - doubt that he'll do. After all, the rate of France is hanging on _ the outcome in Algeria. And DeGaulle is pledged to smash the OAS - at all costs. The outlook is grim - for the top OAS leader.in DeGaulle's cuetody. For - Edmond Jouhaud. AIDER IA OLLOW J OUHAUD As for Algeria, the term 11 grim" - seems too weak. The toll in yesterday's shooting is now put at - sixty killed, and two hundred wounded. That many cut down - when an army detachment was forced to fire on an unruly mob. Machineguns, pouring bullets into the mob - at point blank range. Today, there were commemorative demonstrations - in the cities of Algeria. Crowds of European settlers, mourning - what they call "mass murder by the forces of DeGaulle." Tonight, the French army is keeping a sharp eye - on the cities. Patrolling Algiers, oran and Constantine - in armored cars. warning would-be rioters -- to stay off the streets. The sounds of battle - can still be heard. Shooting in back alleys - and the familiar sound of exploding plastic bombs. The casualty list in Algeria - growing by the hour. ISLAND The fate of Tristan daCunha in the South Atlantic - is now official. London t , accep ing a report from a team of British scientists - who say that the dereliction is complete and permanent. You may recall, what happened last year - on Trietan daCunha. Volcanoes erupting, burying the island - under rivers of molten lava. Forcing the population to leave. As British subjects - they eventually turned up in London. They said - it was only a temporary move. And that they would return to their island - where their ancestors had lived since the early Nineteenth century. The first inhabitant~ having been - members of the British garrison assigned to guard Napoleon on St. Helena. The London govemment listened sympathetically - and promised to restore the historical link, if possible. But the scientific report from the South Atlantic says - "quite impossible. 11 The island ie in possession of - smoking volcanoes. Human habitation - out c1'the question. Once more a desert island - Tristan daCunha.
