NASA said Syncom 2 will remain over the Pacific as a reserve for Defense communications tests if Syncom 3 launch delays persist. A May 5 Syncom 3 Delta booster spin test was postponed. Signals earlier on March 17 nudged Syncom 2 into a higher orbit and westward drift, while new commands reduced its drift rate. The delay could affect a Boston conference proposal to beam Tokyo Olympics coverage to U.S. TV audiences next fall.

Ohio Secretary of State Ted W. Brown ordered Democratic armed service ballots sent Friday to Lt. Col. John H. Glenn Jr. and his wife Annie so they can vote in the upcoming Ohio primary.

The board sought Brown's advice as Glenn telegraphed a ballot request and said a letter would follow. Brown said state law requires letter ballot applications but ordered ballots sent in this case. Glenn, recovering at his Texas home from a bathroom fall in Columbus on February 26, withdrew as a candidate for the Democratic U. S. Senate nomination.
