Shepard's Space Capsule
Scorched on Outside,
But In Good Shape
CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. UP)—
Its paint somewhat scorched, the
cone-shaped capsule which car
ried Alan B. Shepard Jr., was re
turned Saturday to this spaceport.
The same Marine helicopter
that picked Shepard and his space
chamber from the Atlantic Fri
day hauled it this morning from
the carrier Lake Champlain to
Cape Canaveral.
The carrier sailed within a few
miles of the missile test center so
the helicopter could make the de
livery.
With the 3,000-pound chamber
attached to its underside by cable,
the chopper lowered it to a patch
of grass. ,
Technicians gave the capsule a
quick check, then had it hauled
to a hangar for more detailed
examination.
On this first check, the techni
cians found the controls in ap
parent good shape, the interior
dry and the outer surface un
damaged except for heat scarsi
on the painted words “United j
States.”
This damage was inflicted by
the terrific heat generated when
the capsule plunged back into the
friction of the atmosphere.

Soviets Harvest
Blood from
Dead People
WASHINGTON UP — The So
viet Union is harvesting blood
from dead people on a large scale,
the Journal of Flying Physicians
Assn, said Saturday.
Dr. Henry Swan of Denver,
Colo., told of a visit to the Sklifo
voskly Blood Institute in Moscow
last year as the guest of a lead
ing Soviet surgeon named Petrov.
Swan said blood was being
taken from an aged man who had
died suddenly in a subway two
hours before.
“Apparently, all sudden deaths
in the city are brought to the
Sklifovoskly by law,” Swan said,
and two to four liters of blood
are taken from a single cadaver.
They preserve it with sugar,
water and antibotics — “no anti
coagulants, since blood after
sudden death does not clot.”
Swan said blood can be taken
up to six hours after death, is
sometimes stored for five days,
and is used for transfusions.”
