Apollo makes hookup
(Continued from page 1)
Following the series of lunar module engine tests, McDivitt and Schweickart will return to the command module, but will again re-enter the moon lander on the fourt day—this time to prepare for Schweickart's two-hour space walk.
On the fifth day McDivitt and Schweickart will again transfer to the "Spider" for the crucial test of the flight—separating the two spacecraft, flying them separately nearly 100 miles apart, and then redocking them.
It is this maneuver that has caused space officials to label the Apollo 9 flight the most
complex and most dangerous ever undertaken.
If anything were to fail at this stage, Scott, at the controls of the command ship, would have to chase the lunar lander and attempt the first space rescue by transferring the stranded crew to the command module.
The Apollo 9 tests are being carried out in the relative safety of near-earth orbit to increase the chance of recovery of the astronauts should anything go wrong during the mission.
The astronauts cut free of their final rocket stage at 2:08 p.m. CST yesterday by triggering a spring ejection system that
freed the lunar landing module from the S4B third stage rocket
Before the final maneuver which left the manned moon machine by itself, the astronauts had cut their command ship free of the third stage, turned the command ship around and docked it with the moon lander—which at that point was still connected with the S4B.
"We're moving away slowly from the S4B and we've got it in sight in all windows," reported Scott.
"Sounds beautiful," said ground control.

Both cameras were insured, Seymour said, but he did not know if the insurance company would reimburse the full retail value of the stolen cameras.
Campus Traffic and Security officers and a Lawrence police detective were called to the Union after the robbery was discovered about noon yesterday. Detective Jim Haller dusted the case for fingerprints.
A padlock was pulled out of the wood frame and the glass top lifted enough to reach the two closest cameras. The cameras were taken some time between 8 a.m.yesterday,when they were last seen, and noon.

Seymour expressed doubt that the cameras would be pawned. He said a camera was easily marketed between persons or stolen for personal use.
"Unless someone's desperate for money we probably won't be able to trace them through pawn shops," Seymour said. "I hope if they're seen on campus it will be reported confidentially or otherwise."

RFK is becoming more an unshakeable obsession."

The defense contends Sirhan's shattering boyhood experiences and his resentment against Zionists, Jewish proponents of the state of Israel, culminated in the assassination of Kennedy last June 5.
