Three to ride 1st Apollo flight
SPACE CENTER, Houston — (UPI)—Spacewalker Edward H. White, veteran spaceman Virgil I. Grissom and rookie astronaut Roger Chaffee will ride the first Apollo spaceship in the program aimed at landing the first man on the moon.
Their spaceship may link up with a Gemini craft.
THE NATIONAL Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) said their flight could get underway this year and might last from 12 to 14 days.
A Saturn 1B super-rocket will blast them into space from Cape Kennedy.
The first Apollo crew will be the forerunners of Apollo astronauts who could leave for the moon in 1968 or 1969.
THE UNQUALIFIED success of the first Saturn 1B shot from Cape Kennedy Feb. 26, carrying an unmanned Apollo capsule on a 5,300-mile suborbital ride prompted early selection of the Apollo crew.
Depending on progress of additional unmanned flights of Saturn 1B and Apollo, Crissom, White and Chaffee could make a fiery departure from Cape Kennedy as early as next October or November, informed sources said.

GOV. FAUBUS TO RETIRE
8 Daily Kansan Tuesday, March 22, 1966
LITTLE ROCK, Ark.—(UPI)—Orval E. Faubus, whose use of troops to keep Negroes out of Central High School in 1957 made him a symbol of southern resistance to desegregation, plans to retire as the nation's second longest-term governor.
Faubus said last night he will not seek a seventh term in office, despite his own claim he is the only Democrat strong enough to beat multimillionaire Winthrop Rockefeller, a Republican and brother of New York Gov. Nelson A. Rockefeller.
"I THINK WE CAN certainly say this is final." Faubus, 56, said at a news conference.
But Rockefeller was not convinced.
"There is an immortal statement by the incumbent governor several years ago to the effect that 'just because I said it, doesn't make it so.'" Rockefeller said.
Asked if he thought Faubus might still change his mind, Rockefeller said, "Well, he's done this twice before. Therefore, there is precedent for my feeling of skepticism."
