(AP) -- The Mercury Control Centre here re- ported today that the cap- sule carrying astronaut Malcolm Scott Carpenter apparently landed in the At- lantic Ocean some _ 1,000 miles southeast of Cape Ca- naveral--or 200 miles be- yond its intended landing point. Because of loss of radio communication, there was no indication of Car- penter's condition. Officials reported the nearest aircraft was 120 miles from the point where it was estimated the space- craft landed. The plane, an air force sea rescue craft, flew toward the scene with a team of para-rescue men.

An unconfirmed report said 15 men were trapped in the launch- ing silo. At Washington, a preliminary report received by the U.S. Air Force said there were no known fatalities but there were 24 minor injuries, mostly caused by smoke inhalation.

Three Men Die, Six Missing In Avalanche BAIE COMEAU, Que. (CP) Three men are dead and six others reported missing after they were buried under an ava- lanche of sliding earth and rock Wednesday at a logging site 40 miles north of this St. Lawrence River port. They were among 17 men working on a pile of logs in the Toulnoustoc River, when the avalanhce occurred. The eight "We see no reason why he shouldn't continue into the third orbit; but we emphasize that he limit his. automatic fuel con- sumption." The latter was an order sent from the control centre at Cape Canaveral to the tracking sta- tion at Point Arguello, Calif., for relay to Carpenter when he passed overhead. If a decision had been made to bring him down after two or- bits, his reverse rockets would have been fired over Point Ar- guello and he would have de- scended gradually over the United States to a landing in the Atlantic Ocean 500 miles south of Bermuda. DETECT CONSUMPTION Officials detected fast con- sumption of the fuel shortly after the second orbit began and told Carpenter to begin making more use of his manual control system to conserve the avluable hydrogen peroxide. The system controls the atti- tude of the craft. Apparently Carpenter did not hear the original order, which came from the Canary Island tracking station, and it had to be repeated by two posts in Australia, Muchea and Woom- era. Carpenter told Mercury offi- cials there: was enough fuel to complete a three orbit mission and the orderwas given. to pro- ceed. As he passed over Cape Can- javeral just before entering the third orbit, Carpenter at- jtempted to jettison a_ balloon |which he had towed behind the ;capsule for one whole orbit. He jreported the jettison switch |failed to operate and he was paved to release the 30 - inch sphere. Ground technicians assured him that the presence of the balloon would in no way affect the mission and that it would burn up on re-entry into the earth's atmosphere after the third orbit. Carpenter then took more pictures of the balloon. The balloon surface is divided into five equal sections of dif- ferent colors. The idea is to en- able Carpenter to determine which color man can best per- ceive in space. Performing as if he were right at home in the strange world of weightlessness, Car- penter told astronaut Virgil I. Grissom on the ground at Cape Canaveral that everything was fine and he was in excellent condition as he sailed overhead at the end of two orbits. Carpenter had ended his first orbit at 10:19 a.m., EDT, flash- ing over Cape Canaveral 99 miles up. The hydrogen peroxide is squirted out in jet form from small holes around the surface of the capsule. If the capsule shifts off its planned attitude for some reason, jets fire to push it back on the proper at- titude (its angle of. relation to the horizon). The astronaut can control: the roll, pitch and: yaw of his cap- sule by using his manual. con- trol stick to trigger these jet streams. As he entered the second or- bit, Carpenter was told to as- sume' more manual! control of Aurora 7 to conserve the fuel, which is used up more rapidly when the automatic system is operating. By taking manual control, Carpenter could hold a steadier course and thus elimi- nate some need for firing the jets. A false -reading on a chart in the Mercury control centre caused some concern late in the first orbit.' A medical gauge showed that Carpenter's body temperature was 102 degrees. Astronaut Leroy Gordon Cooper at the Guaymas, Mexico, sta- tion asked Carpenter if the reading were correct. Carpen- ter replied: "No. If so, I'm sure I would be sweating in my space suit." The powerful rocket broke loose from its earthly bonds at 8:45 a.m. and shouldered its way into the sky to start Car- penter toward a journey through the stillness of space. The rocket rose slowly at first, restricted by the 120 tons of fuels packed in its tanks. But it quickly gathered speed as the three engines, generating 362,- 000 pounds of thrust, hungrily consumed the volatile. fuel. The rocket lifted straight as an arrow for about 30 seconds and then pitched over a north- east heading. As the rocket entered the cold air of the upper atmosphere, a long white vapor trail 'spewed out from behind it.
