Kerosene Leak Not
Problem For Apollo
By AL ROSSITER JR.
' UPI Space Writer
CAPE KENNEDY (UPD—
Project officials today decided
to proceed with the three-man
Apollo 8 flight around the moon
Dec. 21 after tests showed that
fuel leakage In one of the
rocket’s engines was “no
problem.”
The space agency said the
leakage was associated only
with a fuel drainage operation
and that it would not affect the
flight of Frank Borman, James
Lovell and William Anders on
the first Saturn 5 rocket to be
manned.
"Extensive testing throughout
the night has confirmed that a
leakage rate associated with
one of the F-l engines <on the
first stage of the Saturn 5) is
not a problem,” the agency
•aid.

to simulate flight conditions, no
measurable leakage was detect
ed.
When the leakage was first
reported late Wednesday, It was
feared an engine change might
be necessary.
The kerosene fuel was ob
served seeping down the bull
shaped nozzle of the massive
engine after a countdown
rehearsal. Some seepage is
normal, but the space agency
said the engine showed a
“higher leakage rate than
previously observed.”
Too much leakage could mean
that the leak would worsen in
flight which could lead to the
ultimate failure of the engine.
That could endanger the astro
nauts, depending on when the
engine stopped, and probably
would mean they would not be
able to reach the moon.
If engineers decided a repair
was necessary, the entire 1.5
16
million pound thrust engine—
which is as big as a truck—
would have to be removed from
the base of the 363-foot tall
rocket. That would delay Apollo
8 past the Dec. 27 launch
deadline for this month.
Because of the relative
positions of the earth and moon,
plus the need for desirable
lighting on the lunar surface,
there are only seven days in
December that Apollo 8 can be
launched.
The December launch period
begins at 7:51 a.m. EST Dec. 21
and ends at 6:20 p.m. Dec. 27.
The January launch period,
called a "window,” extends
from Jan. 18 to Jan. 22.

ever,” said a woman who wit
nessed all except one of the
motorcades.
The motorcade is sponsored

Still Was Built
In His Fireplace
SANDERSVILLE, Ga. (UPI)
— Blue Asberry almost had a
perfect way to camouflage
smoke from an illegal liquor
still—until police looked at
what was really inside his
home fireplace.
That, police said Wednesday,
proved to be Asberry’s only
flaw in what otherwise might
have been a longer-lasting oper
ation. Authorities said the 25-
gallon still was built into the
fireplace, so the smoke could
exhaust through the chimney.

ing of Gwinnett policeman Jer

Tate Calls It
‘Outagration’
LAKE JACKSON, Ga. (UPD
— White students should be as
willing to Integrate black
schools, as Negroes are to in
tegrate white schools, says the
executive secretary of the Geor
gia Teachers and Education As
sociation.
Dr. H. E. Tate, in an address
Wednesday to a group of newly
elected superintendents of edu
cation, said that unless integra
tion is “reciprocal, it could
more correctly be termed
’outagration.’.”
