At Vatican City, Pope Paul VI saw a movie made up of photos taken by RANGER VII as it neared the moon. NASA Associate Administrator Robert Seamans, Jr., in Europe on other business, and NASA European representative, Gilbert W. Ousley, were received by the Pope, showed him the movie, and answered his questions. (N.Y. Herald Trib., 1/11/65; AP, Balt. Sun., 1/11/65)
Dr. Eric Ogden, Chief of the Environmental Biology Division at NASA Ames Research Center, was recipient of a Research Committee Citation presented by the American Heart Association in New York. His work for the Heart Association had been primarily in planning and evaluating heart research projects. (ARC Release 65-1)
Tass announced that the Soviet Union would launch new types of space rockets into the Pacific Ocean from Jan. 11 until Mar. 1 to gather experimental data, and had asked other governments using sea or air routes in the Pacific to make arrangements for ships and aircraft not to enter the impact area between noon and midnight during the launching period. The carrier rockets would be fired to a point within a radius of 74 mi. from a center with coordinates of 1.58° north latitude and 164.17° west longitude.

Working on the assumption that a leveling off of defense expenditures in the Federal budget would be accompanied by diversion of some defense funds for other public needs, California was taking steps to find new customers for its aerospace industries. 37 per cent of California's manufacturing industry was concentrated in ordnance, aircraft, electrical, and instrument production, all of which, according to Gov. Edmund G. Brown, would be vulnerable to cutbacks and phaseouts in the Government's space and defense programs. The state was prepared to finance study contracts in four major problem areas: waste management, data collection, care of the mentally and criminally ill, and transportation systems. Aerojet-General Corp. had already signed a six-month, $100,000 contract to develop long-range state plans to manage all kinds of waste, including air and water pollution. (Davies, NYT, 1/10/65, 12)
Univ. of Louisville would be the first engineering school in the U.S. to have installed an electric system linking its computers with all laboratories and classrooms in its Speed Scientific School. Students working on experiments would signal measurements directly to a computer for immediate calculation and correlation. Experiments could be shown on closed circuit TV. Eventually the computers would be programed to direct experiments by automatically changing temperatures, mixtures, pressure rates, or liquid flows. (NYT, 1/10/65, 44)
