Scientists study astronaut to decide on third ride
CAPE CANAVERAL UPI reports scientists studied astronaut Gus Grissom to determine if a second suborbital flight should be followed by a third. If approved, John Glenn Jr. would be the next American in space, likely in late August or September. If denied, Project Mercury would shift to orbital flight, possibly early 1962 with Grissom, Shepard, and six others eligible. Webb said no decision yet on another suborbital flight.
