Gemini tests start today for May 17
CAPE KENNEDY —(UPI)— Astronauts Thomas Stafford and Eugene Cernan tackle a long countdown rehearsal today in an important hurdle that must be passed to start the flight of Gemini 9 on schedule May 17.
The 530-minute drill was aiming toward a mock launch today for Gemini's Atlas-Agena rendezvous rocket and a simulated blastoff of the two-seater on its Titan 2 booster.
THE MAIN OBJECTIVE of the exercise, called a simultaneous launch demonstration, was to iron out any kinks that might otherwise crop up on launch day and stall the start of the three-day mission.
Today's test was the first of two that engineers need to pass this week to get the go-ahead to start final launch preparations. A daylong series of simulated flight workouts is on tap Wednesday.
Brezhnev in Bucharest for rumored Chou talk
MOSCOW — (UPI) — Soviet Communist party boss Leonid I. Brezhnev made a secret flight to Bucharest today, reliable sources reported. There was a strong possibility he would meet with Communist Chinese Premier Chou En-Lai in the Romanian capital.
Soviet officials would not confirm Brezhnev's departure in line with their long-standing policy in the case of such secret trips. But the sources said the Kremlin chief left Moscow early this morning.
THE SOURCES said Brezhnev planned to spend two or three days in Bucharest. Romanian officials in Belgrade, Yugoslavia, meanwhile, reported that Chou was expected in Bucharest "in the next few days."
The sources refused to confirm

Grad students are deferment problem
WASHINGTON — (UPI)— Selective Service Director Lt. Gen. Lewis B. Hershey said there are indications many college students are taking graduate work simply to avoid the draft.
Hershey said Monday that local draft boards face severe problems in deciding whether to defer many graduate students.
He said it would be "very dangerous" to repress student demonstrations against U.S. involvement in Viet Nam. These demonstrations are instigated by only a "fringe" of students who want to avoid their obligations as citizens, he added.
