WIFE SHARES MOMENT
CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. I» —
Rene Carpenter was reported
somewhere on the beach yester
day sharing the moment unob
served among other watchers when
her husband, astronaut Malcolm
Scott Carpenter, was hurled into
orbital flight.
Mrs. Carpenter is the first of
the astronauts’ wives actually to
witness a blastoff putting her hus
band into flight. Her whereabouts
remained a mystery but it was re
ported she and her four children
watched only a few miles from the
launching pad.
Lt. Col. John Powers, public af
fairs officer of the National Aero
nautics and Space Administration,
said that Mrs. Carpenter had
chosen to watch as a private citizen
and preferred seclusion.

MOTHER CRIES "HOORAY* »
BOULDER, Colo. _Mrs.
Florence Carpenter, frail-looking
mother of astronaut Malcolm Scott
Carpenter, cried “Hooray” as she
watched television yesterday and
learned her son had come down
safely from his orbit around the
earth.
Her reaction was reported by a
family friend. Will Fowler, to re
porters gathered outside Mrs. Car
penter’s tiny trailer-type house.
Fowler and other friends were
with her during the flight. He re
layed this statement from the
mother:
“We have seen courage, deter
mination, dedication and the
power of the United States, and
we know now that we shall never
be buried.”
There was no reference to So
viet Premier Khrushchev, But Mrs.
Carpenter obviously referred to his
threat that “we will bury you.”
Fowler said Mm. Carpenter shed
no tears at any time, either dur
ing the tense period after Scott’s
capsule overshot the mark or later,
when word came he was safe.
A TENSE FIVE HOURS
PALMER LAKE, Colo. Of) —
“That was the tensest five hours
I’ve ever spent,” commented Mal
colm Scott Carpenter Sr., yester
day after his astronaut son suc
cessfully completed his flight
through space.
“But he’s safe now and we are
all so very happy,” the 60-year
old father said.
The senior Carpenter is divorced
from Scott’s mother, Mrs. Florence
Carpenter. He and his present
wife, Edyth, watched the entire
television broadcast in their modest
home in this little town close
against the mountainside north of
Colorado Springs.
“I was especially interested to
see that a Navy Neptune plane
took part in recovering Scott,” the
father said.
“He flew a Neptune widely over
the South Pacific during the war.”
Carpenter, a retired chemist who
came here from Nutley, N.J., six
years ago, said he last talked with
his son Tuesday night.
He said the astronaut did not
seem restive or upset over the re
peated delays in his flight—“he
was quite calm and collected.”

Alaska Doctors
Told Health Plan
Is “Bad Medicine”
FAIRBANKS UK — John L. Bach
of the American Medical Ass,
headquarters in Chicago told the
Alaska State Medical Society,
meeting in convention here Wed
nesday, that “the medical profes
sion in 1962 finds itself at the cross
ruaus iwfcwwu irCCGCm and XvCI“
eral domination.”
Lashing out against passage of
the King-Anderson Bill, which, he
said was a “cruel economic hoax
on the American people.,” Bach
urged Alaska doctors to prove to
their patients and friends that any
legislation which would finance
medical care for the aged through
social security is “bad medicine.”
“There is no need for Congress
to pass such legislation as the King
Anderson Bill,” he said, adding:
“The costs of carrying out such
a legislative scheme would be stag
gering and the heaviest burden will
be on the average working man
and small wage earner.”
Bach stated that “arguments ad
vanced in favor of the proposed
law have led many to expect full
and free medical care and an end
to their health cost worries.”
“Actually,” he said, “no benefits
are provided to pay doctors’ and
surgeons’ fees or to pay for out
of-hospital drugs and medicines.”
Bach was one of the first speak
ers at the 17 th annual convention
of the Alaska State Mical Assn.,
which is scheduled to run through
Saturday. „
Leading figures from the medi
cal profession in the smaller states
are here to speak to Alaska doctors.
