Cape Kennedy, from where man first went to the moon, is the leading contender in the 'treasure hunt. But its premier is being threatened "by California and New Mexi- co. Oklahoma and Utah also are in the running but behind other contenders. . BILLIONS AT STAKE At stake are billions of dollars, thousands of jobs and a possible economic boom for the area that wins the launch- -' ing site for the shuttle, the reusable spaceship, scheduled later this for operation decade. Politicians and lobbyists, backed by hundreds of thousands of dollars, are hard at work in Washington, trying to convince President Nixon and Congnss that the space shuttle should be launched from their respective states. ' A decision may come later this year. , TOP CONTENDER 7 Cape Kennedy is the leading ' candidate because the National Aeronautics and Space Ad- -' has ministration already invested $1.5 billion here for land and for launch and support facilities for the Apollo moon program and other proj- -' ects. But the shuttle will be a t unique craft, and some advantages that favored Cape Kennedy on earlier programs might now work to its disad- Fletcher Gets Hearing Date linie-zliglt- WASHINGTON (UP!) -Shear confirmatio: ings on the appointment of Dr. James C.

But Congress has been reluctant to vote heavy funding at a time when the country has more earthly problems. As a result all target dates have slipped at least two years. Cape Kennedy became aware that its position as Americas premiere spaceport was being threatened early in n SAIT Atlantic jOcean. That made it ideal for Gemini and Jthe Mercury, and .unmaned launchings because the booster Sockets were dumped into waiters offshore without endang-;erin- g populated areas. If either the booster or orbi-- , ital section of the space shuttle should stray on takeoff or landing, it might land in the ofeans salt water. Recovery would be difficult and the resulting corrosion could render it j longer usable. fOLT AREAS the The other candidate states, noting this and other Cape began touting weaknesses, their areas many months ago. California is backing either Edwards AFB or Vandenberg AFB. New Mexico iavors its 'White Sands Missile Range. Utah is pushing a Great Salt Lake desert site on the Utah-- ; Nevada line, and Oklahoma The Cape looked at its weak points, including the ocean and the fact it has no runway large enough for landing the shuttle sections. Politicians and businessmen realized that I station a few would unmanned remain on its schedule after that. Florida interests counterattacked, noting that among the $1.5 billion NASA investment here are 88,000 acres on which a runway of any desired length could be built.
