Tests Slated For Chimpastronaut Ham Returns To Cape Canaveral
Ham the chimpastronaut arrives for evaluation after a high speed test flight off Cape Canaveral. The Redstone rocket launch sent the life support system through its pace yet raised questions about safety for future human space travelers. Ham, a 34 year old chimp, appeared unfazed as he posed for photos after rescue, while scientists assess the mission's mixed outcome and implications for manned flights.

Six Americans to appeal Cuba court verdict
In Havana six Americans sentenced to 30 years for crimes against the Cuban state began serving terms in Cabana prison. Defense lawyers planned appeals though appeals from revolutionary tribunal rulings were previously allowed only for death verdicts. Swiss Embassy officials reportedly may appeal to Fidel Castro to commute to deportation. The men named were Donald J. Green, Leonard L. Schmidt, George R. Beck, Tommy L. Baker, James R. Bean, and Alfred C. Gibson. Nearby anti-Castro leaders planned a government in arms in the Escambray Mountains as militiamen guard rebel positions. Casualty details remained officially secret amid nightly clashes.
