...shoot the mission's first color pictures-the ingeniously conceived and packaged laboratory (which occupies about a cubic foot of space) will begin operating. The surface sampler, a power-shovel-like bucket, will be extended from Viking by a boom that can reach 10 ft. It will scoop up a sample of Martian soil, which will then be distributed to three separate chambers of the laboratory. Using nutrients, radioactive tracers and analyzing devices, the lab will look for evidence of living organisms or their byproducts. Other experiments will identify both organic and inorganic substances in soil samples...
...Carter's calculations, are three of his recent rivals for the Democratic nomination. They would all fit neatly with the speculation that the next Secretary of State (whoever is President) should be a politician capable of improving the frayed relations between Congress and the State Department. Senator Scoop Jackson turned down offers of State and Defense from President Nixon, but might be ready now for a change of pace; his hard-line foreign policy views may not be entirely congenial to Carter, but a good deal of Jacksonian doctrine was written into the Democratic platform last week...
...Ohio vote came in, Illinois Senator Adlai Stevenson released the 86 delegates that Daley's machine had won for him as a favorite son. George Wallace urged his 168 delegates to support Carter. If all those delegates voted for Carter, he would have the 1,505 needed to nominate. Scoop Jackson and Frank Church were expected to endorse him soon...
...vanquished Democrats will be heard from in the future. Many of Carter's confidants speak warmly of Frank Church as a prospective Vice President (see story, page 15). Scoop Jackson also yearns to be Veep but stands much less of a chance. Humphrey would like to succeed retiring Mike Mansfield as Senate majority leader; but Senate Whip Robert Byrd of West Virginia has campaigned tirelessly for that job and has a long lead. Udall would like to compete for the Senate in 1980. The brightest future seems to belong to Jerry Brown, whose lower-thy-expec-tations lines turn...
Then Jordan talked of the three big targets: Scoop Jackson's 249 delegates, Daley's 88, and George Wallace's 200. If Carter has 1,200 delegates or more after the last primaries, any of these three Democratic leaders could certainly help clinch the nomination for him. Predicted Jordan: "We'll find someone out there who wants to be a hero." Even before Scoop's decision, the Carter group believed the Jackson delegates might well wind up with them. Carter, at the same time, has been calling Daley every ten days...
