Gemini 8 Problems SPACE CENTER determining the progress UPI astronauts al miles of recording tape and an awesome strip of cosmic film likely will play major roles of the remainder of America's Gemini space program These are the ingredients of a scientific investigation into the Democrats Bracing For Losses In Fall WASHINGTON UPI are bracing losses in the Democrats selves for November elections and waiting or time to indicate how badly they will be hurt They are particularly worried about the national House of Representatives where it was touch-and-go for every major administration proposal from 1961 until the 1964 landslide gave the Democrats a 295 to 140 majority Both Republicans and crats read the same public opinion polls and read mail rom like-minded constituents Hence GOP optimism has risen branch would benefit bents in 1966 Disputes about the war in Viet Nam and grumbling about the price of bacon are changing the outlook Sen Joseph S Clark said last week that his party could lose 75 House seats unless the Viet Nam casualty rate this year while hopes have fallen There was a Democratic show of optimism among the crats at the end of 1965 They felt that the record written by Congress last year had won confidence in the falls and confidence the voters in President gain son's economic policies Even Republican leaders have not yet made any such forecasts The GOP needs 77 seats to win control of the House It has not controlled ether the House or Senate since 1954 and has not come within striking distance since 1958 A more cautious and current- ly more realistic prediction from a Democratic leader closely attuned to the political control forced the two-man Gemini 8 to an emergency landing after a brush with death last day The Astronauts are Armstrong and David Scott whose remarkable piloting skill brought the ship safely home to earth after the craft began tumbling through space at nearly one revolution per an almost un- bearable strain on their bodies The tapes contained technical information about the near disaster that began while Gemini 8 was linked up with an Agena satellite 185 miles above earth The film exposed through the triangular window in front of Armstrong's face caught a fantastic view of the bucking that began when the thruster jet evidently stuck Experts think they have the problem pinned to a short circuit But there remained a matter of what to do about it because four other Gemini ships are scheduled to fly this year on an schedule that and that public situation in all states goes like New Wage Due Out Of Committee already permits tight little time for major repairs or changes Among the fears one stood what would have had the control jet stuck U.S Troops Viet Cong Battle On Three Fronts SAIGON UPI U S rines infantrymen and para- troopers battled Communist forces Sunday in sharp clashes on three of them only about 35 miles from the North Viet Nam border The Americans killed about 50 Viet Cong in the widespread ing The American action ed with disclosure that the Viet Cong had apparently used 75 mm pack howitzers for the first time in a battle against American paratroopers last week U.S military intelligence sources told UPI the evidence strongly suggest that the Communists used the artillery pieces against a battalion of the U.S Airborne Brigade March 16 in the Viet Cong Zone D stronghold 35 miles north ol Saigon In another development re- ported Sunday a U.S Coast Guard cutter helped rescue a U.S Special Forces patrol that was ambushed Saturday on the island of Phu Quoc in the Gulf of Siam A spokesman said the cutter Point Garnet rushed to the area and fired 78 rounds of mortar fire into enemy positions allowing the Green Berets to break contact and evacuate the island In fresh ground fighting Sunday a U.S Marine force was locked in heavy combat with a Cong unit 15 miles northwest of Hue and only some 35 miles between the demilitarized zone border rating North and South Viet Nam The Marines were lifted by helicopters in the battle area after it was first cleared of entrenched Communists by air bombing strikes Shortly after the landing the Marines reported solid con- tact with an estimated ny of Communists Initial reports indicated 11 Viet Cong were killed in the first clash with Marine ties reported light On another sector to the south soldiers of the U.S Tropic Lightning Division killed an estimated 20 Viet Cong early Sunday in a sharp firefight in the Central lands near Ban Me Thuot Paratroopers of the Airborne Division killed an estimated 20 Viet Cong late Saturday night near Tuy Hoa about 192 miles northeast of Saigon when a Communist attempt failed The paratroopers had cap- tured a Viet Cong guerrilla who confessed he was part of the ambush unit and detailed the Viet Cong positions to the Americans The airborne troops then called in artillery and mortar fire to pound the ambush positions forcing the Viet Cong into a premature fight The Communists fled after 45 minutes of fighting leaving 20 dead Allied casualties were light In other action the Viet Cong overran a government outport 360 miles northeast of Saigon in Quang Ngai Province after attempts to land ments were driven off by a hail of mortar small arms and automatic weapons fire The Vietnamese An Hoa outpost 12 miles northwest of Quang Ngai City fell Saturday night after a fierce battle that inflicted heavy casualties on the beleaguered South Vietnamese militiamen In the air war U.S Air Force pilots flew 22 missions over North Viet Nam Saturday striking targets in the Red River Delta area and around Dien Bien Phu site of the last major battle of the Indochina War in 1954 U.S Navy carrier based planes flew 25 missions over North Viet Nam striking river shipping bridges and roads in the Dong Hoi and Vinh areas to disrupt Communist supply lines High Winds Delay H-Bomb Recovery Spain UPI winds and a running sea Sunday hampered efforts to bring to the surface a U.S nuclear bomb lying in feet of water in the ranean off the Spanish coast Recovery work was further delayed by the absence of one of the submarines being used to help retrieve the H-bomb that was lost five miles off the coast in the in-flight collision of a Strategic Air Command bomber with a jet tanker nice weeks ago A Navy timetable had called for the bomb to be raised from the ocean bed Sunday probably by the USS Hoist a salvage ship of the U.S Navy's Sixth Fleet The bomb still attached to its parachute was located last Wednesday lying on a steep ridge on the sea floor The two man submersible Alvin took photographs of an object on the ridge which nuclear experts said was the missing bomb Navy ships dragged the bomb along the ridge to a safer position to avoid the possibility of it slipping into deeper water when the recovery effort was made A Saturday night squall that left white-capped sea and high winds Sunday combined to harrass the scheduled effort One of the vessels instrumental in the project the underwater research craft was withdrawn and taken to the port of south of Palomares to have its batteries On land meanwhile Camp the tent city that sprang up on the beach near Palomares almost overnight after the collision on Jan 17 was officially closed Sunday Russia Fires Test Blast UPPSALA Sweden UPI and sent ship to tumbling Russia touched off a giant
