NBC NEWS SCORES WITH FIRST ANNOUNCEMENT (BY PETER HACKES ) OF MAJOR SLAYTON BEING WITHDRAWN FROM NEXT ORBIT FLIGHT NBC News scored with a major "first" in its announcement by Pentagon correspondent Peter Hackes yesterday (Thursday, March 15 ) that Ma j . Donald K. Slayton of the Air Force has been withdrawn from the next orbital flight because of heart palpitations. The report, which Hackes said was unconfirmed, was carried at 4:55 p.m. EST on the "NBC News Afternoon Report" on the NBC-TV Net¬ work and at 5 p.m. EST on the "News-on-the-Hour" broadcast on the NBC Radio Network. It was confirmed two-and-one-half hours later by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration. Hackes said Lt. Comdr. M. Scott Carpenter of the Navy was designated as Slayton* s substitute for the three-orbit flight scheduled for early May, which the NASA announcement also confirmed. Pentagon correspondent for the past eight years, longer than any other network correspondent, Hackes has taken part in the NBC News coverage of most of the U. S. space effort, including the flights of astronauts Alan B. Shepard Jr. and John H. Glenn Jr. o NBC -New York, 3/16/62
