Many had driven in more than a week before and slept among the sand crabs on the beaches to see America take its giant leap into space. As the huge rocket thundered and blazed brighter than the sun, a million voices cheered. It was a moment of national triumph, a time of immense pride and patriotism, the greatest moment of glory in thP Space Age. Whatever happened to Cape Kennedy? It is no longer Cape Kennedy. It has been renamed Cape Canaveral, although the space center still bears the name of the late President John F. Kennedy. The manned space flight program is virtually defunct and many of the scenes of former triumphs are deteriorating with neglect. It seems incredible that after the tremendous national effort to put a man on the moon, no other lunar explorations following the Apollo series were planned for this decade. On Tuesday, (July 15) two Soviet cosmonauts will conduct docking maneuvers in space with three American astronauts who will be launched from Kennedy Space Center. It is a historic meeting that will take place more than 100 miles above Earth. The two-ma-n Russian spacecraft Soyuz will be launched from the Soviet complex at Bakonur, Kazakhstan at 8:20 a.m. EST. On board wiU be Cosmonaut Alessy A. Leonov, the pilot, and flight engineer Valeriy Kubasov. Seven and a half hours later, a giant Saturn LB at Kennedy will rocket American Mission Coomander Thomas P. Stafford, Command Pilot Vance D. Brand and Docking Module Pilot Donald K. Slayton into orbit. The two craft are scheduled to meet at 12:15 p.m. Thursday (July 17). But docking is old hat in the space age and the maneuver is viewed as more of a political than a technological feat. The Soviet cosmonauts were so unimpressed with the whole program that the highlight of their training trip to America was a visit to nearby Disney World. They could have cared less about the space center. Following the last moon flights in the late 1960s, a maw exodus began from Kennedy that set Brevard County, Fla.. where the space center is located, back on - - , ll: The U.S. withdrawal from Indochina has left all Asia in ferment. Here are some straws in the wind, taken from the secret cable traffic: NEW DELHI: Intelligence reports suggest that India's Indira Gandhi was willing to step aside, at least until her corruption case could be resolved, but couldn't find an alternate whom the rival factions would rally around. But one secret cable claims that the Soviets, fearing opposition leaders wanted to bring India back into the U.S. camp, encouraged her to seize dictatorial powers. 'Whatever the case, Indira Gandhi has Moscow's full support. PEKING: The Chinese, according to intelligence reports, suspect a Soviet plot to move into the vacuum caused by the U.S. pullback and to dominate Southeast Asia. The Chinese believe the Soviets are trying tki establish naval bases in both India and Vietnam. This would permit the Soviet fleet to operate freely in Southeast Asian waters. The Chinese, therefore, have secretly moor-age- d the United States to keep its bases in Thailand and the Philippines. HANOI: North Vietnamese leaders have dropped cautious hints that they arc veining la establish dip:omatic contacts with the United , S 1 A , I States. A secret analysis suggests that the North Vietnamese would like to hit up the United States for economic aid and use the United States as a counterweight in maintaining independence from both Russia and China. One intelligence report states that the Soviets are dickering to take over the former U.S. naval base at Cam Ranh Bay, but that the North Vietnamese authorities are resisting. SEOUL: The fears that North Korea might resume the Korean war are subsiding. An intelligence estimate from the U.S. embassy discounts the likelihood that North Korea's Kim will attack. This view is shared, incidentally, by the Joint Chiefs in the Pentagon. Newrthele;s, Defense Sec- retary James Schlesinger has gone out of his way to get the message to Pyongyang that the United States might use nuclear weapons to repel an attack.

Her fate is Ci P,.. ,.. t,. - N, associate, whoEdward flew to ; 4--11 JA(K AnDERSOn in the hands of the Argentine authorities. We called world attention to Olga's story last January. She had been raised and educated by farm-workparents, She earned enough money picking garlic to take a trip to Argentina. On the eve of her return, she war, arrested with a dozen Argentine friends in a house which, the police charged, contained subversive materer ials. , Her letters, brought to us by former school friends, told "four of brutal tortures days and four nights which were pure hell." Yet in the writing style of World War ll's Anne Fiank, Olga also wrote about a bird's nest on the jan's roof. "I asled myself," she wrote whimsically, "why that free dove chose a jail's roof to huild its home. It's as if it wants to remind us that freedom still exists." McCaughan, Argentina in May to investigate the case, found evidence that Olga was telling the trail Their report has been submitted to Sen. Alan Cransand Rep. Norton, man Mineta, The girl, wrote Weinglass. "described the particulars of her treatment. .A cloth bag was placed over her head so she could not distinguish day from night. .She was then taken to a room, stripped naked and tied hand and foot to a table. In the presence of six to eight males, she was repeatedly tortured with an electric shock instrument." Weinglass and McCaughan (lug into the court records and found a doctor's report describing Olga's physical Condition when she was transferred to a prison four days after her arrest. Declared the doctor: "Found red marks on various parts of her body and could not determine their origins." , Yet 1.1S. embassy officials, reported Weinelass, "never read the court summary and therefore were unaware of the existence of the (low- 11 Ti . , The embassy officials also never met with Olga's local attorney who, according to Weinglass, is convinced the girl is "the victim of a shabby political frameup." Nor did the embassy know she could be held indefinitely by executive fiat. There is "no adequate explanation," wrote Weinglass, "for the failure of the United States authorities in Buenos Aires to. discover the facts." Footnote: State Department officials admit that Olga's court summary had never been read by American authorities and that her local attorney had not been contacted. They tried to reach him but failed, they said. They insist, however, that they have stayed on top of the case from the moment they discovered she was an American citizen. On the basis of her allegations of torture, they said, embassy officials enteral a formal complaint with the Argentine government. They also sent two doctors to examine Olga, but the physicians found no evidence of torture. Of course, this examination was conducted more than a month after her terrible four days and nights.
