Super Saturn Blasts Off Today WILL "°T, ,T"°RAw: In Historic Prelude to Moonshot Eban Rejects 4 Indian Proposal CAPE KENNEDY, Fla. {A-'}- Space officials yesterday declared America's first Saturn 5 super rocket "ready to go" on its his- toric first flight this morning, despite minor hardware problems and a warning that winds may be too gustry. The 363-foot-tall monster boos- ter, first flight version of the type rocket which is to hurl three as- tronauts to the moon in 1969, aimed toward a 7 a.m., EST, liftoff to begin a mission described yes- terday as "perhaps the most diffi- cult step we'll encounter" between now and the day astronauts fly to I Causing less worry were minor For UN Ml* dmEast Settlement the lunar surface. "This mission is ready to go," said Maj. Gen. Samuel C. Phillips, director of NASA's apollo program office. A disquieting prediction from the weatherman that winds may be gusty at launch time was caus- ing concern, however, Phillips said. The forecast called for winds of 21 miles an hour with gusts up to 29 miles an hour. Mission rules won't permit a launch when peak gusts are stronger than 32 miles per hour.

Phillips said he was confident these troubles could be overcome in time to launch today. An unscheduled "hold" in the countdown was called yesterday afternoon when technicians got c slightly behind their work sched- ule, but NASA said no major prob- lems were present. The time could be made up later in the countdown to still achieve a 7 a.m. liftoff. The first unmanned launch of the Saturn 5 represents "one of ' the critical steps in man's going to the moon," said Dr. George E. Mueller, NASA associate ad- ministrator for manned space I flight, "and perhaps is the most difficult step we'll encounter." While millions of Americans watch on home television screens, the six-million-pound rocket is to thunder away from Cape Ken- nedy to propel an unmanned Apol- lo moonship into orbit 11,400 miles over the earth. It involves the first flight test of the Saturn 5's first and second stages; the first restart of the rocket's third stage, which pre- viously was flight-qualified on smaller Saturn 1 boosters, and the first operational use of America's man-to-the-moon launch complex. "The first launch of any new and untested rocket is the acid test," observed Dr. Werhner Von Braun, director of NASA's Mar- shall Space Flight Center at Huntsville, Ala. After reaching its 11,400-mile peak altitude, a spacecraft motor is to send the moonship in a fiery plunge through earth's atmosphere -generating speeds of 25,000 miles and heat of 4,500 degrees to test the Apollo heat shield at re-entry conditions astronauts must en- counter returning from the moon. Recovery will be attempted at the splashdown zone, located about 600 miles north of Hawaii. The mission, officially designat- ed Apollo 4, "will tell us two es- sential things-it will validate, the Saturn 5 launch vehicle and as- sure that the heat shield has been 11 adequately designed," said Phillips. UNITED NATIONS, N.Y. (A)-Is- i The Security Council is sched- raeli Foreign Minister Abba Eban ' uled to meet at 3:30 p.m. today at flatly rejected yesterday an In- Egypt's request to debate the Mid- i than resolution aimed at promoting dle East sutiation after several a Middle East settlement through ; weeks of intensive but fruitless the UN Security Council. negotiations for a settlement. He also expressed reservations In Cairo, a government spokes- about a plan introduced in the than told newsmen that Israeli council by the United States, and withdrawal from the captured East European sources said they j thought the Soviet Union would veto the U.S. proposal if it ap- peared likely to obtain enough ;votes to pass. ' i Will Not Withdraw j Eban told a news conference that Israel "cannot in any circum- stances give any consent,, support or cooperation" to the Indian plan, which calls for the withdrawal of Israeli armed forces from "all the territories" seized in the Arab-Is- raeli war in June. Asked if this meant Israel would refuse to cooperate with a special UN representative to work out a settlement under this resolution, he replied he had no quarrel with j this interpretation. .avaawa wrr wa as vaa wav vwt+vuavu Arab territory was an essential first step to any Middle East set- tlement. He urged the council to show the world that "aggression does not pay." Irrational' Arab View Asked about this frequently stated Arab view, Eban said it was "so irrational that it is amaz- ing even to see it imposed." Eban said the Indian draft res- olution, which is co-sponsored by Mali and Nigeria, prejudices Is- rael's position in advance by de- fining what shape a settlement should take. He reiterated Israel's contention that there would be no return to Armistice demarcation lines that existed before the war. These, he said, "must be superseded by an agreed and secure permanent fron- tier." The U.S. resolution calls for "withdrawal of armed forces from occupied teritory," not specifying which armed forces nor stating that all Arab territory should be evacuated. Eban repeated in the strongest terms Israel's demands for direct negotiations with the Arab nations as the only course to peace. The Arab refusal to negotiate peace with Israel, he said, was "an unprecedented act of extremism." Arabs Blaimed Asked how long Israel was pre- pared to' wait for direct talks with the Arabs, he replied that "if the Arabs are not prepared to talk, it is they, in effect, that want to perpetuate the situation." His criticism of the U.S. reso- lution was centered on its failure to give t proper emphasis to the need for direct negotiations. But he said neither plan before the council took adequate notice of f this need. Eban also was critical of a Jap- anese working , paper being cir- culated among members of the 25-nation council. Like the In- dian resolution, he said; it also prejudices Israel's position on the territorial question in its formula- tion of the withdrawal provision. The Japanese plan has not been formally introduced. Egypt Requests Session Egyptian Ambassador Mohamed ' A. El-Kong submitted the request Tuesday that the council meet to "consider the dangerous situation prevailing in the Middle East" as a result of the Israeli refusal to withdraw, Egyptian sources indicated For- eign Minister Mahmoud Riad would present Egypt's case in the council. Eban said he would speak for Israel. A U.S. spokesman said his dele- gation expected the council to meet publicly for two or three days and then adjourn for consulta-, tations. UGL's Reserve System,* Automation Triumphant A MONDAY, NOVEMBER 13 IN THE UGLI MULTIPURPOSE ROOM 8 P.M. SPONSORED BY THE CHRISTIAN SCIENCE ORGANIZATION EVERYONE IS WELCOME-ADMISSION FREE (Continued from Page I) Some proposals have been made by students toward improving the efficiency of the automated closed reserved system. The most ob- vious and most popular concerns the staffing of helpers behind the desk. Students feel that if there were more helpers behind the desk during rush (or peak) periods, then there would be less of a jam-up. According to Miss Faucher, studies are being made to determine when a larger staff is needed; however, it is impos- sible to hire people for short periods of time to absorb the rush of students at the desk which oc- curs at the begining of every hour. Another solution proposed by students is to make up a list of those books and periodicals which are not available at a given mo- ment. This will enable students to avoid waiting in line just to find out that all the copies of a book or article they need are being used. ,The way this system could be' made operational would be to make a set of cards, one for each book or article; then, when the last copy of a particular book is taken, the worker can take the card and place it on a board where students can see it. Then, when a copy is returned, the card may be removed from the list. But, the whole issue can be foced philosophically. One blonde says her only concern with the system is that she feels "aw- fwly sorry for the computer" I NEW Al FROM 41 Ca rryCorder '150' with Microphone DAZZLE-STRIPES KNIT IN ORLONO FOR OUR MISS J Voguester Jr. captures the holiday the CARRY-CORDER 150 mood in snappy dresses of lightweight, ,:..' soft Orlon° acrylic.
