Delta rocket explodes on maiden flight near Cape Kennedy
A three stage Delta rocket exploded during its maiden flight off Cape Kennedy, shredding the Atlantic satellite and forcing a shift in plans to telecast the next Olympic Games to Europe. The mishap occurred 53 seconds after liftoff as pitch control failed, sending the vehicle into an uncontrollable tumble before the destruct signal ended the flight. The Atlantic 3 satellite, designed for Intelsat, was lost and the Olympic relay was redirected to another Space Agency satellite for Europe.

Weicker Urges Halt to Bombing in North Vietnam
NORWALK The United States should stop bombing North Vietnam and impose economic sanctions, said U S Senator Lowell Weicker Jr. He urged peacetime negotiations in Paris by halting bombing between the 10th and 19th parallels while maintaining tactical actions in South Vietnam and the Demilitarized Zone to protect American troops. He supported Nixon policies in general but urged a clear, specific approach for voters’ foreign policy dialogue. He also called for supervised elections in South Vietnam and an early drawdown of U S forces within a framework of disengagement with honor.
