Rival candidates Crawford
Martin and Franklin Spears
were getting in some final cam-
paign licks today in their
steamy struggle over the Demo-
cratic nomination for Texas at-
torney general.
Each sought to enlist addition-
support before voters go to
" i Saturday as sharply
charges against one an-
other still echoed.
Spears asserted ihursday that
his opponent acted as lawyer de-
fending Bill County landowners
in five condemnation suits
brought by the state in 195.
This occurred, he said, while
Martin was drawing $1,500 a
year as Texas secretary of state.

wfo, a"tfoy dot ta the vMtneqa
of space, was entering its 30th
revolution of the earth as Staff*
ford and Cernan began their hot
pursuit.
They planned to done in on
the quarry after a four-hour
chase covering 75,000 mttes.
Target Mystery
Not until they were within
eyesight of the satellite would
the astronauts know whether a
shroud protecting it from the
heat and pressures of blastoff
fell away when the target sepa-
rated from its Atlas booster.
If it had not, they would have
to cancel plans for a linkup of
the two orbiting vehicles, for the
shroud covers the docking collar
on the satellite. They would,
however, be able to practice a
series of rendezvous maneu-
vers.
Stafford made his first move
in the chase just seconds after
the Gemini went into orbit. Ho
fired his jet thrasters to adjust
the high point of the space ship’s
orbital path to about 172 miles.
As he rocket rose, capsule
com munic«tor neii a. Arm*
strong, who commanded the
Gemini 8 flight, told the astro-
nauts they were “go for stag-
ing.”

“Roger, understand
go,” Stafford replied.

rated, Stafford saw a fireball

AN EDITORIAL
Your Vtte Is Important f
At no time in the rural history of the great State of
Texas has our presence at the ballot box been aa 4m-jL
■ portant as tt is today. With the escalated migration at
rural population to the urban areas, the voice of sparse-
ly populated sections like Erath County is getting weak-
er and weaker in our state government.
The thing that politicians understand best to the bal-
lot. They know the voting records of virtually every
county in the state — and they listen when the big
boxes talk. Numerically, we are far overmatched in po-
tential voting strength — realistically, hdwever, we are
capable of casting a much higher per cent of our poten-
tial than the more populous areas.
Erath County has long enjoyed a reputation of vot-
ing strong in all state and national elections. It to to out;-1
advantage to continue this trend tomorrow.

Rendezvous^
‘Walk’ Due
I CAPE KENNEDY, Fla. (AP) — The Gemini 9 pitots,
smashed a 17-day jinx, rocketed into orbit today and skill-
I fully tracked a target satellite in a 1 ,500-mile-an-hour
I chase across the skies.
I After two heartbreaking scrubs, a mighty Titan 2 roc-
I ket launched astronauts Thomas P. Stafford and Eugene
I A. Ceman on a vital three-day flight that could bring the
I U.S. its second space triumph of a busy week.
| As the space ship settled into orbit, the pilots went in-
hot pursuit of a tiny, barrel-shaped satellite launched
I Wednesday, hoping for a rendezvous with the target high
| over the Pacific Ocean early this afternoon.
Gap Clored ' ———————1—
After executing four major
| orbital changes with bursts off
his jet thrusters, Stafford in the
first 2Vi hours off the flight clos-
ed the distance to the target
I from 640 to about 125 miles.
I He also had shifted the Gem-
ini 9 path into almost a perfect
I circle 170 miles from the earth.
At launch, file ship had gone
I into an orbit ranging from 99 to
I 172 miles.
I “For t be third time, go!”
I Stafford quipped as he sat in the
1 spacecraft poised for the launch.
I Just 31 hours after the Survey-
or moonship landed softly en the
bmar surface and sent back
L’ QaBaUluC OI pOSSIDij
r manned lading sites, the Titan
propelled Gemini 9 aloft on a
vital, three-day rendezvous and
space walk mission.
"Fantastic”
The big Titan, with the rays
i of a bright sun glistening on its
sides, rose slowly from its
launch pad an dsped out over
therAtlantic Ocean, followed by
a big white tail of vapor.
“We’re right down the mid-
dle,” flight director Eugene
Kranz shouted.
“Everything,” he told Staf-
ford, “is green and go.”
“We’re on our way!” Staf-
ford yelled exultanUy. “It’s fan-
tastic.”
To make today’s launch pos-
sible, Stafford faced and over-
came the same communications
problem that forced Wednes-
day’s shutdown 100 seconds be-
fore firing.
Vroobls Reoccurs
A radio guidance command
that would have given the
Spacecraft precise steering di-
rections failed to get through
to its computer. This time, the
decision was made to go ahead.
Shortly after the Gemini sep-
arated from its booster rocket,
Stafford fired his jet thrusters
to make necessary -'orrections
in the oridt and plane of the
space ship and put it on the de-
sired path off pursuit.
Before returning to earth, the
astronauts were to perform
many of the maneuvers Apollo
