Cooper Sleep Routine On 11th Mercury Orbit Reveals Calm Command
Cape Canaveral reports astronaut L Gordon Cooper slept through most of his 11th Earth orbit at 17 546 mph. He woke after seven hours, kept to a window curtain to block sunlight, and avoided speaking to preserve a clear voice for recovery. Doctors noted a brief heartbeat rise and a heat related temperature adjustment. Cooper showed unusual ease in resting during countdown and flight, aided by no sleep inducing drugs though a dexadrine supply existed for alertness post awakening.

In Des Moines the Iowa senate appropriations committee defeated a bill to legalize pari mutuel betting on horse and dog racing. It marked a third straight defeat in as many days, ending any immediate vote in this session though supporters deem it a strong 1965 prospect. The measure tied licensing to state and local fair boards with a two week racing season and a 310 000 appropriation.
