Major White has practiced the maneuver 110 times under zero gravity conditions. He is scheduled to re-enter the capsule so it can be "buttoned up" and refilled with oxygen before voice radio contact is lost with the Ascension Island station. The booster will be flashing high intensity xenon lights so it can be spotted for the rendezvous during tne night over the south aciflc.

I found a dated airline tag on my portable typewriter as I took off for Houston. It bore the date of January 28, 1958. The occasion was a reporting visit to Redstone Arsenal at Huntsville, where Army ballistic missile engineers were rigging up this nation's first satellite a projectile a few feet long which put the U. S. In the space race four months after Russia's Sputnik 1.

Anyone who looks over this gleaming city for space, halfway between Houston and Galveston, will agree we've come a long way froms Huntsville. opened to the vacuum and hazards of outer space and astronaut White eases out for a 12-mlnute "walk" In space that will carry him across the North American Continent at 17,500 mph. The 34-year-old White, declared in razor sharp physical condition as a result of innumerable months of long distance running, weight lifting and handball play, will be tethered to the space capsule by a 25-foot golden cord. He will carry a small propulsion device resembling bicycle handlebars and a 35-mm camera. He will take pictures of the outside of the capsule in space.

And, if the separation of the capsule from Its second stage has been gentle enough and the empty casing is not "tumbling" he will endeavor to touch It for the first contact between orbiting devices In space. The preparation for this "walk" which will be an essential phase of future space travel, will begin when the capsule is In the night over the Indian Ocean. The Houston center will signal "go" or "no go" as the bobbin- This is the most ambitious exploit to date of the National Aeronautics and Space Administration and Its first use of the new spacecraft center to direct space flight. Seven computers and a great cluster of communications facilities will be feeding as many as 97,000 bits of information a second from Cape Kennedy and the Gemini craft to the enormously comDlicated devices set up here with the ultimate aim of landing men on the Moon. This Gemini 4 flight Is rated as about half the goal of putting human citizens of the United States, hopefully on the crusty or dusty surface of the Earth's own satellite, half of which has never been visible from the world.

Small armies of newspapermen, radio and television personnel Jammed both ends of the circuit between Cape Kennedy and Houston Wednesday night In wait for the most spectacular phase of the Gemini flight.

Atop the candle will be two young Air Force majors primed for a peril-packed leap into the sea space. All systems "go" was the word between this complex and the Titan-Gemini IV spacecraft, loaded with 151 tons of propel-lants which are due for ignition at 8 a.

The popular slit-vision glasses Wednesday's action marked another major victory for ways and Means Chairman Wilbur Mills who maneuvered the administration's $11.5 billion income and corporate tax cut through the House in 1963. "WHO WOULD say today that an appliance a stove or refrigerator, or even a radio or television set is a luxury?" Mr. Mills asked his colleagues. The Republican minority, having urged the excise cuts In the party's 1984 platform, agreed and decided to forego the customary GOP alternative proposal.

After nearly two hours' debate, the lawmakers voted, 401 to six, to include $900 million more in the tax package than the amount requested by President Johnson only two weeks ago. The biggest change from the White House proposal would, In five stages, wipe out $1.9 billion In revenues under a lti manufacturers' levy on passenger ears. Senate passage eould come late next week by an equally decisive margin. But there Is talk In the Senate of speeding up the repeal process to a faster rate than set by the House timetable.

There is little likelihood, however, that the Senate will remove more excise taxes than the House. While about $10.4 bUlion in excise taxes would still remain In effect, virtually all of the levies to be kept are on such sanctioned items as transportation, narcotics, alcohol, tobacco, gambling and machineguns.

The natloJi's first Negro astronaut, Capt Edward Dwight 81, denied Wednesday night that he was eliminated from the space program because of his race. Captain Dwight flew Into this naval air test station on the heels of widely -publicized charges by Ebony Magazine that he had been pushed out of the nation's space program because he had claimed racial discrimination In the Air Force. He said the magazine "apparently had some Information out of context." The bomber test pilot, told reporters In a plane-side Interview the magazine "had Information where they got conjecture." He denied that a high-ranking officer ever had asked him why a Negro wished to participate in the space program.

He added that no one ever had questioned him as to whether he was a member of the National Association for Advancement of Colored People, the Congress of Racial Equality or the Black Muslims. HE REFUSED to comment on a direct question as to why he was not an astronaut. '1 couldn't begin to tell you," he said. Later he commented that "everyone' at Edwards Air Force Base is an astronaut."
