CAPE KENNEDY AP The Saturn 5 failed to restart its third stage after two second stage engines quit early. The rocket still delivered an Apollo 6 moon ship and a dummy lunar capsule into orbit, but 110 miles high instead of on track. Officials said the moon mission would have been aborted if men were aboard. The restart attempt over three hours into flight failed, and mission control ordered separation of Apollo 6 from the third stage.
