Hyde, was elected chairman of the board of directors of the Op portunity Corporation of Madison Buncombe Counties Thursday night of last week during a 'board meet ing in Haywood Street Methodist Church, Asheville. Hyde, a Democrat, assumed the gavel and voiced a note of pessi mism. He stated that from what he had read and heard the poor may have a difficult time in the fu ture because of a change in na tional philosophy. Hyde said he is unfamiliar with all of what O.E.O. is trying to ac complish but he would administer his office fairly to all board mem bers. The out-going chairman, the Rev. William Jones, briefly out lined what O.E.O. has accomplish ed in the last year and1 stated that the office of chairman of ouch an organization is not an easy posi tion to hold. Other officers re-elected were Carl E. Johnson, vice chairman for Buncombe County; Richard L. Hoffman, vice chairman for Madi son County; and Ruben J. Dailey, treasurer. R. Hugh Lasseter, O.E.O. execu tive director, serves as secretary to the board. This post is not e lective.

The only cloud in the sky was just that clouds or the threat of sioattered showers in the (recovery area. Weather experts have pre dicted that in the recovery area along the equator skies will be partly cloudy, with moderate winds, seas of only three to four feet, scattered showers, and tempera tures ranging from 78 to 82 de grees. As the spacecraft hurtled along Wednesday afternoon at about 3,000 miles an hour it was gradaoal ly building up speedi as it came closer to the earth's gravitational pull. It will reach a maximum of more than 24,000 miles an hour before it re-enters the earth's at mosphere.

While the camera focused on him, he used the spacecraft's portable water gun to inject water into the envelope of orange juke. He then placed the valve in his mouth and squeezed the envelope. "That's good1, but not as good; old California orange juke," ' he said.
