Docking Without Tunnel Proves Tricky for Apollo 14
SPACE CENTER NOUSTON AP The docking of the Apollo 14 command ship Kinny Hawk and the lunar module Aviares faced difficulty as capture latches failed to grip the drogue. Astronaut Stuart A. Roosa retraced steps, retracted the probe, then slowly moved forward and fired thrusters until the 12 latches finally sealed, achieving a hard dock and triggering cheers from Mission Control. The exact cause of the initial latch failure remained uncertain.

Apollo 14 docking probe resists fix attempts at Fra Mauro
Apollo 14 crew including Alan Shepard and rookies Edgar Mitchell and Stuart Roosa struggle for over an hour to unlock a docking mechanism. They test by hand using Houston instructions, report minor scratches on the probe, and consider an orbital fallback if moon landing cannot proceed. Mission Control plans to reassess overnight as sleep-deprived astronauts remain united and focused on the task.

Hog Lift trucks head to Tipton to move hogs
About 25 truckloads of hogs from the Midwest were moved toward Tipton for a National Farmers Organization Hog Lift marketing center. The convoy aimed to disrupt normal marketing patterns on the East Coast and push hog prices higher. Harold Welch said hogs from Mid Missouri would be shipped from Tipton to outside the usual market area as NEC farmers crowed about lower prices.
