CAPE KENNEDY (UPI)—
The launch team put Apollo 15
through the final hours of a
dress rehearsal countdown to
day to dear the way for the
real launch to the moon in 13
days.
The towering rocket was
being fueled with nearly 1
million gallons of propellants
and virtually every other
countdown operation was in
cluded in the drill except for
the actual ignition of the five
engines on the Saturn 5 booster
rocket.
Apollo 15 astronauts David R.
Scott, Alfred M. Worden and
James B. Irwin skipped the
exercise today because of the
hazards involved with a fueled
rocket. They will run through
their part of the countdown

Wednesday when the Saturn is
drained.
The countdown rehearsal
marks the last major pre
launch test in a long series that
started as soon as the 363-foot
rocket was moved to the
oceanside launch pad two
months ago. Before that,
spacecraft and rocket sections
were checked individually.
The purpose of the exercise
was to check the Saturn and its
complicated system of ground
support equipment under realis
tic countdown conditions to turn
up any problems that might
disrupt the planned July 26
launching.
The trial countdown started
last Wednesday. The only
problem reported up today was
a leaky fuel plug in the Saturn
first stage. The part was
replaced without delaying the
test.
The 10V4 ton mobile service
structure was moved away
from the Saturn Monday
afternoon and the rocket stood
exposed on the oceanside
launch pad. It was illuminated
by floodlights during the night.
After the astronauts run
through the last 3W hours of
their countdown Wednesday,
wearing spacesuits as they will
on launch day, engineers will
dismantle testing equipment
and start preparations to start
the actual countdown next
week.
Apollo 15 is the nation’s
longest moon expedition. It is
scheduled to last 12 days and
seven hours with nearly half of
that time spent on or around
the moon.
Lt. Gov. Maddox
says Nixon misled
American people
SELMA, Ala. (UPI)-Georgia
Lt. Gov. Lester Maddox said
Monday night that President
Nixon “totally misled the peo
ple” in his 1968 campaign.
Maddox, a former Georgia
Governor, made the statement
in an address to the Dallas
County citizens council.
Maddox’s trip into Alabama
brought strong objections from
one of Alabama’s two black
legislators.
Rep. Thomas Reed of Tuske
gee urged Maddox to “stay in
Georgia with his ax handle
and racist views.”
Reed said he did not feel
that the White Citizens Council
could get a white political fig
ure “of any high standard in
Alabama to address them.”
Reed also serves as state
NAACP president.
According to Maddox, Nixon
said as a candidate that he was
opposed to federal controls over
education and that statement
“could well have made Richard
Nixon President.”
“It was utter misrepresenta
tion evidently designed to sway
votes to the Republican column,
because under the Nixon admin
istration more ruin has been
brought to public education,
more schools have been dosed,
more children have been illeg
ally bused and more teachers
have been uprooted and trans
ferred than under all past ad
ministrations in this country
combined,” said Maddox.
Maddox said that forced inte
gration is a “total, collosal and
miserable failure. It is harming
Hack Americans, it is harming
white Americans and it is harm
ing America herself by foment
ing racial tension and in many
instances wrecking public edu
cation.”
, Maddox said the duplicity of
America’s leadership has forced
citizens to band together “to
protect their rights and free
doms.”
Ala. Gov. George C. Wallace
met Maddox at the airport
Monday afternoon before the
Georgia official traveled to Sel
ma for the speech.
