...generally pro-American government of Premier Eisaku Sato wants Okinawa to revert to Japanese control; U.S. Presidents from Eisenhower on have promised that someday it will. When that happens, however, the U.S. armory would become subject to the same conditions that now apply to American bases in Japan: no nuclear weapons under any circumstances, and no introduction of new weaponry or dispatch of U.S. forces to combat from Japanese stations without prior consultations...
Dovetail. Sato's government is saying, in effect, that it will allow an unwritten exception to these restrictions if the U.S. formally agrees to reversion for Okinawa; his regime, Sato feels, must win control of the island in order to stay in power and keep anti-American elements from gaining strength. Rogers resisted this carrot-and-stick argument; the U.S. wants no strings on its Okinawa-based forces. Japanese Foreign Minister Kiichi Aichi called Rogers' attitude "severe...
...infinite amounts of information but with a demonstrated inability, in these two instances, to relay this information in a timely and comprehensible fashion to those charged with the responsibility for making decisions." Equally disturbing was the finding that, in both cases, the Navy exhibited almost total lack of command control...
...case of the EC-121, the difficulty was as much one of command as communications. Flying under the operational control of the Fleet Air Reconnaissance Squadron (VQ-1), the Navy plane was more on its own than it could have realized. According to the Pike report, VQ-1 "lost all effective operational control over the aircraft. Army, Air Force and Navy units monitoring the flight of the EC-121 appeared to assume operational control of the aircraft -and if they did not, no one had operational control." The monitoring units detected the aircraft threatening...
...spectrometers balked just as it was supposed to search out the gases and vapors in the Martian atmosphere. JPL technicians explained that the spectrometer, which should be cooled to below - 400° F. to operate efficiently, refused to chill at all. Mariner 7 caused even greater concern at Mission Control when it went off the air entirely for seven hours. Apparently struck by a tiny meteoroid, the spacecraft lost its fix on the star Canopus and its directional antenna spun away from earth. A new roll-and-search command went up from Pasadena. Mariner 7 obeyed, and though performing...
