The weather prospects were still not hopeful, but they were likely to get worse after noon today. So for the ninth time in almost two months the marine astronaut was given another date with the cosmos.

The situation was this, in the words of Walter Williams, Mer- cury Project director:

“The weather is not really | Sood enough to proceed with | great confidence, but not bad |enough to be the basis for the postponement decision at this time "’

Another weather briefing was scheduled for midnight, just be- fore the final countdown was to resume.

Nowlan Rejects Demands

For Govt Control Of CBC

| Program ‘Quest’

Creates Storm

OTTAWA, (CP) Revenue Minister Nowlan Wednesday overrode some voices of d'scon- tent from Conservative hack benches and gave a flat ‘‘no” to a party supporter’s request for government interference in CEC programming.

Detecting what he called ‘‘cat- ealls’’ after his Commons state-

ment. Mr. Nowlan added in even stronger terms that gov- ernment interference with the

publicly-owned CBC would lay the foundations for a Fescist or Communist state in Canada

Cries of ‘‘shame’'—identified by one Libera) MP at the time as coming from the gov- ;ernment side of the House—fol- |lowed Mr. Nowlan’s ‘‘no” to a | request that he use his influ- tele- vision program Quest and try to control ‘‘apparently degener- ate minds'’ that appeared to have taken over CBC program- ming

Edwin W. Brunsden (PC— Medicine Hat) made the re quest after saying he has re- ceived letters describing the program as ‘‘depraved, ‘dis gusting,”’ ‘‘absolutely immoral” and ‘garbage’ as well as ‘‘a rank violation of the sanctity of

jthe Canadian home and fam- ily.”* Later Mr. Brunsden said he

was referring to the CBC net- work television series Quest on Sunday night, and particularly one recent program in that se- ries entitled Crawling Arnold.

Quest has a varied: fare of dramas, comedy sketches, in- terviews and topical mono- logues. It runs for a half-hour starting at 11:30 pm. AST each Sunday.
