(AP)--The Gemini 5 spacecraft was cleared for the seventh day in space today and hurtled on to- ward its eight-day goal, turn- ing awkward cartwheels along the way. Earlier troubles that threat- ened to cut the mission short by one day were under control. The seventh - day go - ahead came at 9:02 a.m. EDT: Flight officials were encour- aged that the mission would go the full eight days.

In his speech Premier That-| cher estimated the original cost} of the scheme at from $8,000,- 000 to $10,000,000 a year. Mr. Thatcher said details of how the payment will be made have not been decided and pro- yineial officials are studying home-owners grant systems in effect in British Columbia and Manitoba. He said the grant will be paid or only one home in cases of persons owning more than one, that persons renting homes will not be eligible and that an owner probably will be re- quired to live in the home where a grant is being paid. |gen gas--was expected to dim- slept eight hours out of 24, but was "'still sleepy." At 8:09 a.m. EDT the space- craft completed its 90th orbit. Temperatures fell to below freezing in the spacecraft ca- bin with the electrical usage curtailed--but Cooper and Con- rad remained comfortable in their spacesuits. TUMBLING EASED The tumbling--caused by the jet-like push of venting hydro- inish as the flight continued, perhaps ending by hightfall. The go-ahead, beamed up to Gemini 5 by capsule communi- cator James A. McDivitt, was for 106 orbits. As the Gemini 5 passed over the Guaymas, Mexico, station on its 90th orbit, the second 5 Doing Flips, Cleared For 7th Day activated and the power was brought up in the electrical sys- tems of the space craft.

"That's it," said a B.C. party organizer Thursday after he heard about Mr, Pearson's press conference with its heav- ily-weighted comments in, sup- port of an early vote. After the week in British Co- lumbia, when it was generally believed the prime minister would reach a firm decision on an election, Mr. Pearson gave every indication Thursday that such a decision has been reached in favor of polling this fall. He said an announcement would be made 'one way or the other" within the next two 'A New Method' To Fight Crime From AGENCE FRANCE-PRESSE PARIS (CP) -- Claude Wag- ner, Quebec justice minister, said Thursday "a precise plan for the prevention of crime and the rehabilitation of offenders" known after his return to Can- ade. Mr. Wagner made the state- ment following two days which he spent conferring with top French police officials. He did not elaborate. "What brought us to Europe, and especially to France,"" said Mr. Wagner, "is the need for In Viet War NEW YORK (AP)--In a a ries of unpublicized and indi-| rect approaches to North Viet Nam, the United States now is} offering to exchange dem- onstrations of a desire to slow down the war, the New York eight days, I tend to think there the full eight." A major problem was a buildup of water from the elec- tricity producing fuel cell There was just not enough tank- turns a minute--but "not too bad." "We didn't really feel much specifically except that items that have been flying around were getting slung to the side of the cockpit," Cooper said. The astronauts--keeping the tumbling under control with their thrusters -- showed no signs of motion sickness. By powering down the space- craft usage--flight officials said they were controlling easily the problems emanating from the fuel cell. TWO JETS USELESS Two crippled jet thrusters that helped manoeuvre the spacecraft were still not work- ing--but others were. Flight of- ficials emphasized that the ma- noeuvreing jets were not neces- sary for the completion of the flight.

By HAROLD R. WILLIAMS HOUSTON, Tex. (AP) "Why don't those astronauts just climb out of the space- craft and clean out those fuel lines?" asked the anxious voice over the telephone. Bob Button, Manned Space- craft Centre information spe- cialist, listened patiently, then tried to explain why L. Gor- don Cooper Jr. and Charles Conrad Jr. couldn't fix Gem- ini 5's propulsion problem as easy as that. "They can't open the space- craft hatches," he said. "'They don't have an umbilical cord to pipe oygen to them even if they could open the hatch. And finally, their space suits can't protect them from the dangers in space." Not convinced, the man asked: "Why don't they build trap doors into the equipment section then?" Button couldn't think of an answer. "I'll pass along your suggestion," he said. Whenever problems pop up in the Gemini 5 flight, and there have been plenty so far, Button's plione starts ringing with callers offering advice. CALL FROM TORONTO The centre has had calls from as far away as Toronto, Button said, although he did not disclose the caller's name --or suggestion. Most calls, about 100, came last Saturday, first day of the flight, when the fuel cell started acting up. "One woman Los Angeles, Calif." Button said, "saying that her wom- an's intution told her that a screw was loose in the fuel cell. 'If you could just find that screw and put it back <n place the trouble would be solved,' she said." Other' suggestions from taking the switch off and repairing it to turning the spacecraft's bottom, where the fuel cell is located, toward the sun "One woman said if the trouble was a broken wire, called from ranged why didn't the astronauts get another wire and splice them together?" Button said. Button and Mrs. Zell Skil- lern operated the query desk in the Gemini 5 press centre 24 hours a day. They take questions from reporters and get the answers. CALLED IT SABOTAGE "One caller from Los An- Seles said -the fuel cell. trou- ble was sabotage,"' said Mrs. Skillern, "He called back five times. Finally he said he was going higher up. He didn't think I was doing enough,' The query desk has an- swered 318 questions from reporters up to Thurs- day night.

They don't be- lieve me." The spacecraft will make its first night pass over the inquiries in connection with the creation of a sort of interpol in Canada."

And then, through a series of questions and answers, the prime minis- ter appeared to be clearly pre- senting a case in favor of voting before the end of 1965. Novem- ber is the most likely month. The advice of the experts, he said, is that no election can be held in 1966 on the new elec- toral boundaries--now in pro- cess of being shaped--and he said no one would want an elec- tion in early 1967, Canada's cen- tennial. WOULD CHOOSE FALL In that case, offered a re- porter, the choice was either this fall or late 1967 and he suggested the prime minister would choose this fall. "You have a very succinct way of putting things," said Mr. Pearson. When asked about earlier statements that he hoped the present government could con- tinue to govern, he said he would like to think that it could. but "it has always been the prerogative of a government to decide when an election would be called." He snapped back at state- ments by Opposition Leader Diefenbaker that the prime minister wanted an election to avoid facing Parliament on such issues as the Dorion re- rt. "All I can say is that the Dor- ion report was submitted before the House of Commons recessed when Mr. Diefenbaker was in Saskatchewan and didn't come back," he said. The Opposition had all the opportunity it needed to move any motion against the government on the Dorion report before Parlia- ment recessed. Today Mr. Pearson was mov- ing on to Prince George for a noon speech to a joint service club luncheon, then on to Banff, Alta., for an evening speech to a conference on world develop- ment. Saturday he attends an afternoon picnic in Edmonton before speaking there in_ the evening to the Alberta Liberal Association.
