Dust Cover Delay Foils Gemini 6 Launch Effort
NASA reported a plastic dust cover in the Titan 2 booster oxidizer inlet caused a malfunction that would have blocked the Gemini 6 launch even without a fallen electrical plug. Gemini 7, with Borman and Lovell, pressed toward a 139th orbit as rendezvous loss potential eased, with a Wednesday launch rescheduled at 8 37 a m EST. The crew, still fit after 10 days in space, could extend to 15 days if needed, and Navy Captain Schirra and Air Force Major Stafford prepared to fly Gemini 6 in formation to attempt the rendezvous.

Sudsy Water Fouls Up One Of Somerset's Two Water Supplies
A detergent spill fouled Shaffer Run near Bakersville causing foamy suds up to 25 feet high and road slickness. Somerset officials halted use of local sources and drew water from Coxes Creek in York, with Laurel Mountain wells awaiting remediation. Investigators traced the detergent to a Laurel Mountain gas drilling operation where fluids were pumped into a well after the drill bit dropped, creating the contamination. See SUDSY on Page Two.
