: Friendship 7 Carried
Contraband Cargo of
200 Souvenir Dollars
WASHINGTON — The
Friendship 7 space capsule ap
parently carried a contraband
cargo of souvenir dollars as it
orbited the earth and project of
ficials are going to take steps so
that it doesn’t happen again.
One Space Agency official
termed it a “foolish business” and
congressmen expressed fear such
articles might jam delicate elec
tronic equipment.
Astronaut John H. Glenn Jr.,
testifying before the House Space
Committee, said he knew of only
one $1 bill. That was wrapped in
a wire bundle aboard the capsule.
However, Lt. Col. John Powers,
the astronauts’ public information
officer, told newsmen something
like 200 bills were hidden aboard
Glenn’s spacecraft by the launch
crew.
He showed newsmen Monday
one of the bills on which he was
collecting signatures of the astro
nauts for a workman who had
been stationed on the high gantry
that serviced Friendship 7 before
it rocketed into history.
Dinner Fork Removed . . .
FORT WORTH, Tex. M — Sur
geons removed a dinner fork
Wednesday night from the stom
ach of a pretty blonde.
They said the patient, Atha
leene Lare Peterson, 21, was in
satisfactory condition.
Miss Peterson, an accountant,
said she was talking about her
tonsils with a friend at a coffee
shop Tuesday night.
“I was holding my tongue down
with the fork handle,” she ex
plained. “I got to laughing and
it just went down.”
A hospital attendant said the
fork was the largest item he ever
had heard about anyone swallow
ing.
Traffic Deaths Total 2,630
CHICAGO (if) — The nation’s
traffic deaths in January totaled
2,630, the same number reported
killed in highway accidents in
January, 1961, the National Safety
Council reported.
The Council said last January’s
total was about 200 below die
average for the month.
Forty is the age when men be
gin to want a change of pace—
and women a change of face.
Glenn Foresees Space Auto
WASHINGTON W — Astronaut
John H. Glenn Jr. says the day
will come when man will cruise
in the skies much as he now
maneuvers his automobile on the
highways.
To travel in space like that,
Glenn said in congressional testi
mony Wednesday, spacecraft many
times more powerful than the
Friendship 7 in which he orbited
the globe three times will have
to be developed.
When they are, Glenn said, a
spaceman will be able to steer
wherever his curiosity dictates,
or go from one orbit to another
as if in a sky auto.
Then, the Marine lieutenant
colonel said, “man will really
take his rightful place in space.”
