| WASHINGTON (AP) -— The
leaders of the world’s two mucle-
ar superpowers pledged in a
landmark agreement today to
regu.ate their relations in a way
to reduce the risk of nuclear
war,
President Nixon and Soviet
Communist party Secretary
Leonid 1. Brezhnev reached the
accord in the fifth day of their
summit talks and prepared to
sign it at the White House he-
fore heading for California
where they will conclude their
meetings Sunday.
In addition to its application
to U.S.Soviet relations, the
agreement applies also to the
retations of either party with
other countries. In this way, al-
though technically bilateral, the
agreement has multilateral im-
plications.
The two leaders declared in
the agreement that ihey were
“conscious that nuclear war
would h a v e devastating con-
sequences for mankind” and
said they wanted “fo bring
about conditions in which the
danger of an outbreak of nucle-
ar war anywhere in the world
would be reduced and ultimate-
dy eliminated.”
‘They pledged their countries
fo “acl in such a way as to pre
vent the development of silua-
tions capable of causing a dan-
gerous exacerbation of their re-
lations, es to aveid miliary con-
frontations, and as to exclude
the outbreak of nuclear war be
tween them and between either
of the parties and other coun-
fries.”
Nixon and Brezhnev also
agreed that their countries “will
refrain from the threat or the
use of force against the other
pariy against the allics of the
olher party and against other
countries, in circumstances
which may endanger interna-
tional peace and security.”
At a news conference prior to
the formal signing, presidential
assistant Henry A. Kissinger
skirted questions on whether
this clause would forbid U.S.
bombing of Cambodia or would
have prevenied tbe Soviet inva-
sion of Czechoslovakia,
Kessinger noted, however, that
U.S. air strikes against Commu
nist forces in Camboia were
under way at the time the
agreement was being negotiate
and that the bonth-:ng “was not
raised as applying to that par-
ticular situation.”
When a newsman as k ed
whether the agreement would
forestall any Soviet action
against China, Kissinger ° re-
sponded that. the accord was
“not conceived as protection for
any country” but added it would
“have the practical consequence
of applying to the situation you
deseribed.”
“PIL see you tomorrow at the
signing,’ Nixon reminded
Brezhnev just before midnight
Thursday as he left the Soviet
Embassy after a banquet of
caviar, borsch, Russian beef,
and fish, two kinds of vodka and
Soviet champagne.

: SAN FRANCISCO, June 18 (P—
Soviet Foreign Minister V. M. Mol-
otov held the spotlight today as
world diplomats waited hopefully
for new signs that the cold war
tension is finally ending.
The first indication of Russia’s
next move is expected Monday
night when the Big Four foreign
ministers meet to map plans for
the meeting of their chiefs of gov-
ernment in Geneva July 18.
Molotov, although unusually gen-
ial on his 3,000-mile trip across
the country, has given no hint that
he has anything new to offer, but
there still was an air of opti-
mism here as a result of recent
Soviet moves on the Austrian trea-
ty and on the Yugoslav peace mis-
sion.
Molotov was the first of the Big
Four foreign ministers to arrive
for the U. N.’s 10th anniversary
session June 20-26. Apparently in
a jovial mood, the Soviet diplomat
arrived by train at 1:08 (PDT)
2:08 p. m. (CST) and transferred
to a limousine for his headquar-
ters at Suburban Hillsborough.
He was accompanied by a staff of
more than fifty aides and ad-
He had nothing to beyond
a brief greeting, which his inter-
preter translated from the Rus-
sian. He said:
“Thank you for this cordial wel-
come to San Francisco. Allow me
to convey through you greetings
to the people of San Francisco
where the United Nations was
founded.”
Secretary of State Dulles, British
Foreign Secretary Harold MacMil-
lan and French Foreign Minister
Antoine Pinay will arrive by air
tomorrow following their two-day
strategy meetings in New York.
_ President Eisenhower will ar-
rive tomorrow night to deliver the
opening address to the 60 U. N.
delegations Monday afternoon. Re-
ports r@aching here indicated that
the President might make an im-
portant policy speech rather than
a simple speech of welcome.
He told U. N. Secretary General
Dag Hammarskjold in a special
message that he considered the
speech a “responsibility.” Diplo-
matic quarters said that the Pres-
ident originally had been reluctant
to come to the U. N. session be-
cause he had understood that he
was expected to do nothing more
than greet the delegates.
Hammarskjold, meanwhile, was
en route to San Francisco by air
coach. He was expected here to
night.
The Western attitude toward the
forthcoming Big Four “summit”
talks in Switzerland was indicated
in New York by the French for-
eign minister, who said the West-
ern nations are going to Geneva
with open minds, hopeful of find-
ing proof to support Russia’s re
cent good will measures.
He added, however, that the
West wanted to see more before
they were convinced.
“We would be naive,” he said,
“to believe that the signs are the
proofs.”

| WASHINGTON (AP) — A Republican
member of the Senate Watergate committee
says the Nixon administration has “‘stepped
on”’ anyone willing to search for the truth about
Watergate.
Sen. Lowell O. Weicker Jr., who made the
claim Thursday, also said that fired White
House Counsel John W. Dean III should be
listened to when he appears before the panel.
Dean, who has said he discussed Watergate and
a possible coverup with President Nixon, will
be the lead-off witness when the hearings
resume next week.
“I think there is a great deal of credibility to
a story that he is going to go ahead and tell, and
I think the committee owes it to him to enable
him to tell that story in full view of the public,”
Weicker said on a Public Television show,
“Evening Edition.”’ He was interviewed by
Martin Agronsky.
“Is his testimony credible? I think it is.
‘Nobody's attributing 100-per-cent credibility
to him or any other witness, but he’s got the
guts to stand out there and that’s no small thing
when you were in his position and had all the
pressures that obviously must have existed on
this young man at the time to decide that you're
going to step forward and tell the story to the
American people.”
Weicker was the sole opponent of the
committee’s decision to postpone Dean's
appearance for one week last Tuesday because
of the summit conferences this week between
Nixon and Soviet Communist Party leader
Leonid I. Brezhnev.
“It should be clear from various public
statements that have been made that any
institution, whether it’s a witness, anybody
that’s willing to step out and try to find out the
truth and try to tell the truth is gonna’ get
stepped on by the executive branch of
government,’’ the Connecticut senator said.
He cited Vice President Spiro T. Agnew’s
recent attack on the Watergate panel as one
that ‘‘can hardly hope to find the truth and
hardly fail to muddy the waters of justice,”’ as
an example of the executive branch’s efforts.
Meanwhile, the committee said it was
considering a halt to the practice of talking to
prospective witnesses in secret because so
much supposedly confidential information is
leaked to the media.
“I nearly despair of doing anything about it,’
committee Vice Chairman Howard H. Baker,
R-Tenn., said Thursday. “It means that the
committee probably will end its closed-door
sessions with witnesses, which until now have
been held routinely in advance of public
appearances.
News stories Thursday featured accounts of
closed-door testimony by Dean and Watergate
conspirator E. Howard Hunt.
Also Thursday, another congressional
investigation into Watergate-related matters
was announced, this one by the House Internal
Security Committee.
Chairman Richard Ichord, D-Mo., said he
wants to find out why the White House formed
the “plumbers” group that burglarized the
office of Daniel Elisberg’s psychiatrist in 1971.
President Nixon has said he ordered the
“plumbers” to plug such news leaks as the
secret Pentagon Papers, which Ellsberg gave
to newspapers.
In New York, former Democratic National
Chairman Lawrence F.. O’Brien said the scan-
dal has hurt both parties. He called for limits on
how much candidates may spend in their
campaigns and urged use of a new provision
allowing taxpayers to designate a dollar of
their federal income taxes to finance political
campaigns.
He spoke as an assistant to special Watergate
Prosecutor Archibald Cox said a special grand
jury may be convened to investigate whether
President Nixon's fund raisers used extortion
to get campaign contributions.
Prosecutors are investigating, among other
things, reports that the President’s men vigor-
ously solicited money from businessmen and
other individuals involved in tax problems,
securities investigations, contract disputes and
other sensitive governmental dealings.
In a related development, Mitchell’s wife,
Martha, who has complained of being besieged
by newsmen, left her Fifth Avenue apartment
in New York in a station wagon loaded with
suitcases.
Mrs. Mitchell complained Tuesday night
about reporters clustered about her apartment
building entrance. It was not immediately
known where she was headed.

WASHINGTON (AP) — President Kennedy meets with
former President Dwight D. Eisenhower today in an evident
bid to rally strong national support for critical steps which he
may consider necessary to deal with the increasingly danger-
a Roe Mom ee eee oe
A White House announcement
of the session—at Camp David,
Md. — emphasized Cuba as the
topic for the conference. But it
did not rule out the prospect that
Kennedy could discuss with his
predecessor a broad range of in-
tensifying cold war conflicts with
the Soviet Union.
Before flying to Camp David
by helicopter Kennedy met with
the National Security Council,
presumably to discuss possible
future moves against the pro-
Communist government. of Cuba
in the wake of this week's abor-
tive anti-Castro invasion. ,
In the midst of these develop-
ments, the President was report-
ed to have ordered a_ thorough
study of reasons for the defeat
af the rebel invasion attempt
which began last weekend with
the United States’ moral support
—and, it was generally believed
here, with some backing of U. S.
money and arms.
The President was understood
to be concerned about what some
authorities called a failure to cal-
culate accurately in advance the
strength of Prime Minister Fidel
Castro’s military reaction to the
rebe] assault as well as possible
errors in intelligence.
White House news secretary
Pierre Salinger disclosed Friday
night that Kennedy and Eisen-
hower would meet at Camp Da-
vid, the Catoctin Mountain re-
treat near Gettysburg, Pa., which
Eisenhower used for conferences
with foreign leaders.
The President arranged — the
‘luncheon session in a_ telephone
call to Eisenhower Friday morn:
‘ting. The former chief executive
was at his Gettysburg farm.
Salinger said Kennedy wanted
to bring iEsenhower up to date
on the Cuban situation, believing
that ‘‘as leader of the Republi
'can party and as former presi
dent he should know what the sit-
‘uation is.”
Salinger also disclosed tha’
Kennedy had been in indirect con:
| tact with Gov. Nelson A. Rocke
feller of New York, another Re

| WASHINGTON (‘AP)-—President
| Kennedy meets with former Pres-
ident Dwight D. Eisenhower to-
day in an evident bid to rally
strong national support for criti-
cal steps which he may consider
necessary to deal with the in-
_coeasingly dangerous Cuban cri-
sis.
A White House announcement
of the session—at Camp David,
Md. — emphasized Cuba as the
topic for the conference. But it
did not rule out the prospect that
Kennedy could d'scuss with his
predecessor a broad range of in-
tensifving cold war conflicts with
the Soviet Union.
Before flying to Camp David
by helicopter Kennedy met with
| the National Security Council,
| presumably to discuss possible
future moves against the pro-
Communist government of Cuba
in the wake of this week's abor-
tive anti-Castro ftnvasion.
Report Study Ordered.
In the midst of these develop-
ments, the President was report-
ed to have ordered a thorough
study of reasons for the defeat
of the rebel invasion attempt
which began last weekend with
the United States’ moral support
—and, it was generally believed
here, with some backing of U. S.
|money and arms.
) The President was understood
| to be concerned about what some
|auwhorities called a failure to cal-
| culate accurately in advance the
strength of Prime Min’ster Fidel
| Castro's military reaction to the
rebel assault as well as possible
| errors in intelligence.

‘night that Kennedy and E‘’sen-
hower would mect at Camp Da-

treat near Gettysburg, Pa., which
Eisenhower used for conferences
with foreign leaders.
Session Arranged.
The President arranged the
luncheon session in a_ telephone
call to Eisenhower Friday morn-
‘ing. The former chief executive
was at his Gettysburg farm.
Salinger said Kennedy wanted
to bring \Eisenhower up to date
on the Cuban situation, believing
that ‘“‘as leader of the Republi-
ean party and as former presi-
dent he should know what the sit-
uation is.”

Studies Bill.
London, May 10 (#)—A hotly-
disputed bill to nationalize most
of Britain’s iron and steel indus-
try went to the House of Lords
today. It was passed last night
by the House of Commons.
The Lords planned to bring
the measure—main item in the
labor government’s Socialist pro-
gram—to early consideration. It
is expected generally the upper
chamber will riddle it with
amendments, and return it to
Commons which then will re-
store it virtually to present form,
to become law.
Socialists call the bill an “at-
tack on the heart of capitalism,”
because control of iron and steel
means control essentially of
British manufacturing, from bi-
cycles to battleships.
The bill, proposed by the Labor
| government, went to the House
|of Lords after a Conservative mo-
tion in Commons to reject it was
| defeated 330-203.
| It authorizes the government
'to buy the stock of 107 com-
‘panies, but actual direction of
the companies would stay in the
| hands of the men who run them
/as private enterprises. The com-
| panies would work under a gov-
ernment holding corporation, re-
taining their present firm names.
They would be free to compete
'with one another, but not to the
point of clashing with the hold-
ing corporation’s overall general
plan.
| Under the measure the gov-
| ernment would pay £300,000,000
| ($1, 200,000,000) for the stock of
‘the 107 companies. The firms,
| which employ 300,000 of Britain’s
| 495,000 iron and steel workers,
‘are capitalized at £195,000,000
| ($780,000 000).
| The bill calls for government
control of the affected plants to
‘start May 1, 1950—just before
next summer’s scheduled na-
‘tional elections. Some _ well-
| Placed sources, however, say the
| takeover may be deferred until
the elections have shown wheth-
jer the people really are firmly
_ behind the Labor Party’s plans
| for government control of indus-
try.
| The Labor government, whose
platform pledges public owner-
ship ‘of key industries, has de-
| ' layed moving in on iron and steel
for four years. In that period it
nationalized coal, electricity
| railroads, long distance truck
|and gas industries, airlines anc
the Bank of England.

‘We're all in good shape. Everything’s OK,”’
commander Conrad radioed as the spacecraft

Ten minutes later they climbed through the

Vealer OF
The astronauts almost were held over in orbit
today to try to repair a refrigeration problem in
their space station. But Mission Control
decided there was nothing the astronauts could
do and told them to come home.
Ten minutes behind schedule, Conrad,
Kerwin and Weitz undocked their Apollo ferry
ship and executed a series of maneuvers that
sent them slamming into the atmosphere above
Thailand for the fiery descent.
The Apollo craft hit the calm blue waters at
9:50 a.m. EDT about 830 miles southwest of San
ae Calif. It was just after dawn off the West
st.
The 42,000-ton Ticonderoga quickly steamed
alongside the three-ton Apollo and tossed a line
to frogmen in the water. A crane then lifted the
craft and the astronauts to an elevator for a
ride to the hangar deck.
Hundreds of white-clad sailors on deck and
millions watching television around the world
again had a ringside seat to a U.S. man-in-
space landing as the Apollo craft floated down
through low-hanging clouds and dangling under
three huge orange and white parachutes.
“‘Everyone’s in super shape,’ Conrad said as
the spacecraft bobbed on the water awaiting
pickup. Frogmen immediately leaped from
helicopters to secure the spacecraft with flota-
tion collars.
The Ticonderoga reported the astronauts had
landed 62 miles from the ship and that the ship
was 6% miles from the target point, indicating
a perfect touchdown.
The Ticonderoga steamed to pick up the
Apollo capsule with the astronauts still inside,
in contrast to most earlier U.S. flights when the
spacemen were lifted to the carrier by
helicopter.
Medical requirements dictated the pick up
method today.
Medical experts were not certain how the
astronauts would react after returning to
earth's gravity following record exposure to
space weightlessness so they decided the
astronauts should be subjected to as little
activity as possible until they can be examined
in mobile medical laboratories aboard the
Ticonderoga.
The landing completed an historic space
mission that lasted 28 days and 50 minutes.
During that time the spacemen circled the
earth 395 times.
Misson Control was kept in suspense for most
of the final 76 minutes of the flight — a period
when the Apollo ship was out of radio contact
with ‘ground stations.
The Ticonderoga’s radar picked up the
streaking craft at a distance of 188 miles, 10
minutes before landing.
While out of radio contact, at 9:11 a.m., the
astronauts conducted the critical retrorocket
burn that slowed their 17,100 mile-an-hour
speed by 130 miles, allowing earth’s gravity to
tug the spacecraft out of orbit and start the long
glide through the atmosphere to the eastern
Pacific.
The’ refrigeration trouble caused
considerable concern. A maneuver intended to
correct it caused a brief gyroscope problem
that caused the 10-minute delay in the
astronauts’ departure from the orbiting labora-
tory.
‘We're free,’ Conrad reported seconds after
the control center flashed the go-ahead for
undocking from the 118-footlong laboratory.
They left behind a space station which they
had salvaged with some daring, difficult and
often ingenious repair tasks after it was
damaged during launching May 14.
After the undocking, the astronauts made a
45-minute flyaround inspection of the station,
televising pictures of the odd-looking space
vehicle to mission control for evaluation by
experts.
Then, in quick succession, they triggered the
engine firings that gradually dropped them
closer to earth from their original orbital
altitude of 275 miles.
Two more missions are planned, with the
Skylab 2 and 3 crews scheduled to rocket up to
the laboratory on July 27 and in October
They'll remain aboard for 56 days each, contin-
uing the medical, earth resources, solar
astronomy, space manufacturing and other ex-
periments started by the first crew.
Like vacationers closing a summer house,
Conrad, Kerwin and Weitz on Thursday
cleaned up the space station for Skylab 2. They
slept five hours and wakened at 8:30 p.m. to
start a long re-entry day. They transferred into
the Apollo ship and checked its systems for
several hours.
Packed aboard the Apollo are thousands of
feet of film and tapes, plus other experiment
equipment that experts will be analyzing for
months in efforts to set guidelines for future
long-duration space flights.
Along the way, the crew set a record for a
single manned space mission, breaking a mark
of 23 days, 18 hours, 22 minutes set in 1971 by
three Russian cosmonauts. That flight ended
tragically when the cosmonauts died during re-

-~Oliver Wendell Holmes, as-

court, makes his debut as a radio
speaker Sunday, Mareh &—his
#0th birthday.
In his second floor study today
workmen tiptoed about installing
a microphone. There is not even
a radio set in the house. One will
be connected after the micro-
phone is put in,
The speech by the oldest man
ever to serve one the supreme
bench, is the first public notice
he has taken of a birthday.
They have been events for a
long time to those about him.
For years a deluge of requests
from newspapermen for inter-
views and a series of plans by ad-
mirers for public demonstrations
have preceded each anniversary.
The newspapermen got no fur-
ther than his secretary and the
admirers are always’ forced to
bow to his pronounced distaste of
publie eulogies.
There is no trigidity and little
austerity in his consistent aver-
sion to publicity and display.
Court members in getting to the
bottom of cases before them often
ask counsel penetrating and
sharp questions. Many a lawyer
retains an affectionate memory of
Justice Holmes as he leaned for-
ward with a friendly smile and
helped the barrister out of legal
morass with a suggestion,
His friends say his logical mind
can see no reason for a fanfaron-
ade over birthdays. His conces-
sion on his 90th anniversary is
regarded as reluctant yielding to
the desire of sincere friends to
honor him.

narrow valley in the Catskills, about
25 miles long and lees than a mile
across, today shook itself loose from
the grip of cloudburst and flooded
stream and took account of its loss
of life and property.
Yesterday a cloudburst poured

Three persons were known dead;
crops, livestock and farm property
had been damaged to the extent of
thousands of dollars; at least twen-

WASHINGTON, May 10 (UP)
Some Republicans predicted to
day that the row between Sens.
Tom Connally, D. Tex., and Ar:
thur V. Watkins, R-, Utah will de-
lay Senate ratification of the At-
lantic pact-
Sen. Styles Bridges, R., N.
H., said the rucus “sure
will” prolong consideration of
the treaty when it reaches
the Senate floor. Sen. Bourke
B. Hickenlooper, R., Ta., said
it certainly “won't shorten de-
bate any.”
The row reached its climax
yesterday when Watkins stomped
out of a hearing by the Senate
Foreign Relations Committee,
claiming that Connally, the com-
mittee chairman, had “humiliated
‘and embarrased” him.
Hearing Held
The committee has been holding
hearing on the pact, although not
a committee member, Watkins
has been permitted to euestion
witnesses. Connally has been ex-
tremely critical of Watkins’ line
of interrogation
When Connally complained yes-
terday that Watkins’ quesvions
were designed to express his own
views on the pact and not 10
elicit. information from the wit-
ness, the Utah Senator gathered
up his papers and left the vom-
mittee room.
He assailed Connally tater
for what he said were the
Texan's “provocative actious.”
He said he had plenty of ques-
tions still to ask about the
pact but would reserve them
for the Senate floor where no
“gag rule” prevails.
Connally predicted that Wat-
kins’ walkout would have little ef:
fect on the Senate’s vote on the
pact. He said he still intends t¢
press for speedy action not only
on the treaty but also on its cor:

WASHINGTON (AP) — The
leaders of the world’s two nu-
clear superpowers pledged in a
landmark agreement today to
regulate their relations in a
way to reduce the risk of nucle-
ar war.
President Nixon and Soviet
Communist party Secretary
Leonid I. Brezhnev reached the
accord in the fifth day of their
summit talks and prepared to
sign it at the White House be-
fore heading for California
where they will conclude their
meetings Sunday.
In addition to its application
to U.S.-Soviet relations, the
agreement applies also to the
relations of either party with
other countries. In this way, al-
though technically bilateral, the
agreement has multilateral im-
plications.
The two leaders declared in
the agreement that they were
“conscious that nuclear war
would have devastating con-
sequences for mankind’’ and
said they wanted ‘‘to bring
about conditions in which the
danger of an outbreak of nucle-
ar war anywhere in the world
would be reduced and ultimate-
ly eliminated.”’
They pledged their countries
to ‘‘act in such a way as to pre-
vent the development of situ-
ations capable of causing a
dangerous exacerbation of their
relations, as to avoid military
confrontations, and as to ex-
clude the outbreak of nuclear
war between them and between
either of the parties and other
countries.”
Nixon and Brezhnev also
agreed that their countries
“‘will refrain from the threat or
the use of force against the oth-
er party, against the allies of
the other party and against oth-
er countries, in circumstances
which may endanger inter-
national peace and senurity.”’
At a news conference prior to
the formal signing, presidential
assistant Henry A. Kissinger
skirted questions on whether
this clause would forbid US.
bombing of Cambodia or would
have prevented the Soviet in-
vasion of Czechoslovakia.
Kissinger noted, however,
that U.S. air strikes against
Communist forces in Cambodia
were under way at the time the
agreement was being nego-
tiated and that the bombing
‘“‘was not raised as applying to
that particular situation.”
When a newsman asked
whether the agreement would
forestall any Soviet action
against China, Kissinger re- |
sponded that the accord was
“not conceived as protection
for any country”’ but added it |

LUNDON, May 10.(A4’)-— A hot-
ly-disputed bill to nationalize
most of Britain's iron and steel
industry went to the house of
lords today. It was passed last
night by the house of commons.

to early consideration. It is ex-
pected generally the upper cham-
ber will riddle it with amend-
ments, and return it to commons
which then will restore it vir-
tually to present form, to become
law.
Socialists call the bill an “‘at-
tack on the heart of capitalism,”

means control essentially of Brit-
ish manufacturing, from bicycles
to battleships.

| WASHINGTON (AP) — The leaders of
the world’s two nuclear superpowers
pledged in a landmark agreement today to
regulate their relations in a way to reduce
the risk of nuclear war.
President Nixon and Soviet Communist
Party Secretary Leonid I. Brezhnev
reached the accord in the fifth day of their
summit talks and prepared to sign it at the
White House before heading on to
California where they will conclude their
meetings on Sunday.
In addition to its application to U.S.-
Soviet relations, the agreement applies
also to the relations of either party with
other countries. In this way, although
technically bilateral, the agreement has
multilateral implications.
The two leaders declared in the
agreement that they were ‘conscious that
nuclear war would have devastating con-
sequences for mankind’’ and said they
wanted ‘‘to bring about conditions in which
the danger of an outbreak of nuclear war
anywhere in the world would be reduced
and ultimately eliminated.”’
They pledged their countries to ‘‘act in
such a way as to prevent the development
of situations capable of causing a
dangerous exacerbation of their relations,
as to avoid military confrontations, and as
to exclude the outbreak of nuclear war
between them and between either of the
parties and other countries.”
Nixon and Brezhnev also agreed that
their countries ‘‘will refrain from the
threat or the use of force against the other
party, against the allies of the other party
and against other countries, in
circumstances which may endanger inter-
national peace and security.”
At a news conference prior to the formal
signing, presidential assistant Henry A.
Kissinger skirted questions on whether this
clause would forbid U.S. bombing. of
Cambodia or would have prevented the
Soviet invasion of Czechoslovakia.
Kissinger noted, however, that U.S. air
strikes against Communist forces in
Cambodia were under way at the time the
agreement was being negotiated and that
the bombing ‘‘was not raised as applying to
that particular situation.”’
When a newsman asked whether the
agreement would forestall any Soviet
action against China, Kissinger responded
that the accord was ‘‘not conceived as
protection for any country’ but added it
would ‘“‘have the practical consequence of
applying to the situation you described.”
U.S. allies in Europe have expressed
reservations in the past about any
agreements which would restrict their use
of American-supplied nuclear weapons in
the event of a massive, conventional Soviet
attack.
Kissinger said ‘‘Several NATO allies
were closely consulted’’ during
negotiations of the agreement and cited a
clause which states that the accord does
not impair “‘the obligations undertaken by
either party towards its allies or other
countries in trsaties, agreements andother
appropriate documents.”
If the agreement fails, Kissinger said,
“existing obligations...will be maintained’’
by the United States.
“Vl see you tomorrow at the signing,”’
Nixon reminded Brezhnev just before
midnight last night as he left the Soviet
Embassy after a banquet of caviar, borsch,
Russian beef and fish, two kinds of vodka
and Soviet champagne.
Kissinger said of the new agreement
today:
‘‘Agreements are not always maintained
and there is nothing self-enforcing about
this document.’’
But he added that ‘‘this document could
be a landmark on the road toward ‘a
structure of peace...a step toward a new
era of cooperation...lifting the fears of
nuclear war from mankind.”
The agreement is of unlimited duration
and, unlike a treaty, does not require
Senate ratification.
The 600-word document calls for the
countries to “immediately enter into
urgent consultations’ at any time inter-
national tensions reach a point where the
risk of nuclear war is involved.
The agreement was reached as the two
leaders looked ahead to a reunion summit
in Moscow in 1974—the target date for for-
mally limiting the atomic arsenals of the
two countries.
The two leaders popped a surprise in
their banquet toasts, disclosing that
Brezhnev had extended and Nixon had
accepted an invitation to return to the
Soviet Union next year for a third summit
in as many years.

barrage of criticism issued today
from stalwart democrats against
‘the proposal of Chairman Raskob

ABOARD USS TICONDE-
ROGA (AP) — Skylab’s astro-
nauts came home from man’s
longest space voyage today,
splashing down in the Pacific
Ocean after almost being held
over in orbit to try to repair a
faulty system: in their space
station.
Charles Conrad Jr., Dr. Jo-
seph P. Kerwin and Paul J.
Weitz ended their 28-day jour-
mey when their Apollo ferry
ship parachuted into the water.
The main recovery ship, the
aircraft carrier Ticonderoga,
‘was in the prime recovery area
about 830 miles southwest of
San Diego, Calif., ready to hoist
the astronauts aboard for a
series of vital medical tests to
determine how well they with-
stood their record exposure. to
space weightlessness.
Earlier, Mission Control con-
sidered holding Conrad, Kerwin
and Weitz in orbit longer to
troubleshoot a refrigeration
sroblem.
But controllers decided there
was nothing the astronauts
could do and gave them the
green light to start the home-
ward voyage.
They had separated their
Apollo ferry ship from the 118-
foot-long laboratory.
After separation they made a
45-minute fly-around inspection
of the station, televising pic-
tures of the odd-looking space
vehicle to mission control for
evaluation by experts.
Then in‘quick succession the
astronauts triggered engine fir-
ings to begin their descent to
earth,
The first firing dropped
Apollo’s orbit slightly below
that of the Skylab station, orbit-
ing 275 miles. high and in posi-
tion to accept the’ Skylab 2
crew late: next.month. :
The second ignition dropped
the astronauts into an elliptical
orbit ranging from 104 miles to
29 miles high.
Separation of the Apollo from
the Skylab was clocked at 4:55
am. EDT, 10 minutes later
The brief undocking delay re-
than planned.
sulted when the control center
had trouble stabilizing gyro-
scopes in the house-sized space
lab,
Shortly before that flight con-
trollers had commanded the
craft, with the Apollo ferry ship
attached {o one end, to point 45
degrees down. The maneuver
was necessary to warm a fro-
zen radiator -by pointing it
directly at the sun.
| ABOARD USS TICONDEROGA (AP)
— ‘Skylab’s astronauts came home
safely today from man’s longest space
Journey and shunned stretchers to walk
smartly but unsteadily across the deck
of this recovery carrier.
‘The wobbly 60 steps from the Apollo
ferry ship ta a medical laboratory in-
dicated Charles Conrad Jr., Dr. Joseph
P. Kerwin and Paul J. Weitz had suf-
fered some effects from a record four
weeks’ exposure to space
weightlessness
But Commander Conrad reported as
the Apollo parachuted taward a pinpoint
landing in the Pacific afler an 11-
millionmile journey: We're all in good
shape. Everything's OK.”
They splashed down right on target,
just 64 miles from the Ticonderoga.
Thirty-nine minutes later, still inside
the Apollo, they were on the carrier
deck.
Doctors, not knowing how they might
react to earth's gravity after their long
weightless exposure, were prepared to
hift them out on litters.
But, alter consultation with doctors,
Kerwin, a physician, said they could
walk to the medical trailer where they
began six hours of extensive medical
debriefing.
They emerged smiling from the hatch
and saluted as the ship’s band struck up
“Anchors Aweigh” for the all-Navy
crew.
Conrad walked with hesitant steps at
first bul gradually picked up steam as
he reached the medical lab door, Kerwin
was slightly stooped and buth he and
oud somewhat unsteady in their
steps.
Doctors assisted both Kerwin and
‘Weitz by hokling onto one arm of each.
Experts immediately began removing
thousands of feet of film and tape and
equipment from medical, earth
resources and astronomy experiments
that may tell man much about his earth,
his sun and his physical being.
How well Conrad, Kerwin and Weitz
fared in the weightless workd will play a
major role in determining if man can
function efficiently in future tong-
duration flights. The first of the two 56-
day Skylab missions is scheduled for
launch July 27.
‘The astronauts almost were held over
in orbit today to try to repair a
refrigeration problem in their space
station. But Mission Control decided
there was nothing the astronauts could
do and told them to come home.
Ten minutes behind schedule, Conrad,
Kerwin and Weitz undocked their Apollo
ferry ship and executed a series of
maneuvers that sent them slamming
inte the almosphere above Thailand for
the fiery descent.
The Apollo craft hit the calm biue
waters at 9:50 a.m. EDT about 330 miles
southwest of San Diego, Calif. It was just
after dawn off the West Coast.
The 42,000-ton Ticonderoga quickly
steamed alongside the three-ton Apollo
and tossed a line to fregmen in the
water. A crane then lifted the craft and
the astronauts to an elevator for a ride io
the hangar deck.
Hundreds of white-clad sailors on deck
and millions watching television around
ihe world again had a ringside seat toa
U.S. man-in-space landing as the Apollo
eraft fozied down through kow-hanging
clouds and dangling under three huge
urange and white parachutes.
“Everyone's in super shape.” Conrad
said as the spacecraft bobbed on the
water awaiting pickup. Frogmen im-
mediately leaped from helicopters to se-
cure the spacecraft with fotatian
collars.
The Ticonderoga reported the
astronauts had landed 67, miles from
ihe ship and that the ship was 6!2 miles
from the target point, indicating a
perfect touchdown.
‘The Ticonderoga sleamed to pick up
the Apollo capsule with the astronauts
stiJl inside, in contrast to most earlier
US. flights when the spacemen were
lifted to Ihe carrier by helicopter.
Medical requirements dictated the
pick up method today.
Medical experts were nef certain how
the astrenauts would react afler
returning to earth's gravily following
record exposure to space weightlessness
so they decided the astronauts should be
subjected to as little activity as possible
until they can be examined in mobile
medical laboratories aboard the
Ticonderoga.
The landing completed an historic
Space mission that lasted 28 days and 50
minutes. During that time the spacemen

| WASHINGTON (AP) =.
Leaders of the world’s super-
powers signed at the summit
today an agreement pledging
to diffuse the risks of nuclear
war by avoiding military con-
frontations between nations.
“A truly historic ceremony,”
said Soviet Communist Party
Secretary Leonid |. Brezhnev
after he and President Nixon
signed the agreement in the
White House East Room on
the fifth day of their summit
talks.
The document applies not
only to U.S.-Soviet relations,
but to relations either has with
any other country — large or
small.
In impromptu comments at
the signing ceremony, Brezh-
nev looked ahead to a reunion
summit in 1974 in Moscow. He
said he believed this and other
future meetings “would consol-
idate still further and deepen’
the advances made in the joint
effort to free the world of the
fear of nuclear war.
Later in the day, Nixon anc
Brezhnev were to fly to th
Western White House in Sar
Clemente, Calif., continuin,
while en route their summi
talks that until today had en-
compassed more than 26 hours.
The two leaders declared in
the agreement that they were
“conscious that nuclear war
would have devastating conse-
quences for mankind” and said
they wanted “to bring about
conditions in which the danger
of an outbreak of nuclear war
anywhere in the world would
be reduced and ultimately eli-
minated.”
They pledged their countries
to “act in such a way as to
prevent the development of sit-
uations capable of causing a
dangerous exacerbation of
their relations, as to avoid mili-
tary confrontations, and as to
exclude the outbreak of nu-
clear war between them and
between either of the parties
and other countries.”
Nixon and Brezhnev also
agreed that their countries
“will refrain from the threat or
the use of force against the
other party, against the allies
of the other party and against
other countries, in circum-
stances which may endanger
international peace and securi-
ty,”
At a news conference prior to
the formal signing, presidential
atssitant Henry A. Kissinger
skirted questions on whether
this clause would forbid US.
bombing of Cambodia or would
have prevented the Soviet in-
vasion of Czechoslovakia.
Kissinger noted, however,
that US. air strikes against

The Ticonderoga reported the astronauts had landed 6%
miles from the ship and that the ship was 6% miles from the.
target point, indicating a perfect touchdown.
The Ticonderoga steamed to pick up the Apollo capsule with
the astronauts still inside, in contrast to most earlier U.S. flights
when the spacemen were lifted to the carrier by helicopter.
Medical requirements dictated the pick up method today.
Medical experts were not certain how the astronauts would
react after returning to earth’s gravity following record ex-
posure to space weightlessness so they decided the astronauts
should be subjected to as little activity as possible until they can
be examined in mobile medical laboratories aboard the Ticonde-
Toga.
The landing completed an historic space mission that lasted
28 days and 50 minutes. During that time the spacemen circled
the earth 395 times.

Detroit — (UP) — Ford Motor
company and CIO officials meet
Tuesday to attempt settlement of
a six-day-old strike against two
key Ford plants that will idle a
total of 85,000 workers by Tuesday
night.
Reopening of negotiations came
as Ford scheduled immediate shut-
downs of 11 assembly lines, with
the remaining eight to close by
next Monday.
Henry Ford II, youthful head of
the company, accepted a union
offer to reopen peace talks which
were cut short last Thursday when
62.200 United Auto Workers
struck at Ford's River Rouge and
Lincoln-Mercury plants.
In his bid to reopen negotiations,
Walter Reuther, president of the
UAW, asked Ford to lead the com-
pany negoiiating team personally.
Ford declined the invitation, but
said “we will be happy to meet
with you at 2 p. m. (CST).”
Suggests Participation
Reuther referred to a letter the
Ford president wrote to striking
workers last week, in which he
said the walkout was “unneces-
sary.”
“Since your letter expresses con-
cern for the Ford workers, we
would like to suggest that you as-
sume your personal obligations to
participate in negotiations.”
“This will also afford you the
opportunity.” Reuther said, “of be
ing apprised of all facta in the situ-
ation, which obviously you do not
have.”
Ford said John Bugas, vice-presi-
dent in charge of industrial rela-
tions who led previous peace ef-
forts, would conduct company ne
gotiations with the “full support
and backing of the management.”
Locals 600 and 190 of the UAW
struck the two plants last Thurs-
day, charging the company with
speeding up assembly lines at the
risk of the “health and safety” of
workers. The company denied any
speedup.
Small Piants Closed
The strike at the heart of the
Ford empire has shut down several
small Ford plants, and caused lay-
offs among the 3,500 major sup-
plier firms to the multi - billion
dollar Ford auto business.
The company's tractor division
at Highland Park, Mich. which
makes one-fifth of the wheel type
tractors in the nation, will close
Tuesday night.
Reuther also proposed that if no
settlement is reached before Fri-
day that Briggs stadium be reserv-
ed for a debate before all affected
Ford workers on disputed issues.
—- turned down the sugges-|
tion.
Opposes Putlic Debate
“I do not agree that anything
useful can be accomplished by aj
public debate on this matter,” he
said. |
“The issues in this strike must)
be resolved on their merits and)
by the conscientious efforts at the
bargaining table by both parties,”)
he said.
Reuther had accepted the offers
of civic officials to mediate the
dispute, but the company refused.
It said “technical” questions were)
involved, and that the contract
provided for arbitration if direct
negotiations failed.

</s> | Eliseo Flores, 22, a Korean war
veteran and one of Marfa high
school’s all-time athletic greats,
died early Wednesday morning
after an auto accident near Pai-
sano peak, between Marfa and
Alpine.
Although known as a capable
driver, the young man in some
manner lost control of his car as
he was driving alone toward AI-
pine about 1:30 a.m. and was
thrown out, receiving head and
chest injuries that caused his
death before he could be taken
to an Alpine hospital.
Mr. and Mrs. C. L. Arthur, re-
turning to Marfa from an even-
ing in Alpine, saw the Flores
car go out of control and roll
as they met it but were unable
to give any cause for the acci-
dent. Mr. Arthur secured an am-
bulance from Alpine and helped
remove Flores, who died in the
ambulance enroute to a hospital.
The young man is the only son
of Mr. and Mrs. Gregorio Flores
of Marfa. He graduated from
high school in 1950 and _ since
that time, besides doing army
service, spent some time at sev-
eral schools, Tyler junior college,
New Mexico A & M., and Sul Ross |
State college. He was employed
part time by the Kelley Funeral
home here. |
An outstanding athlete, Flores
was a back for the 1950 Marfa
bi-district football champions, |
and forward on the basketball |
team that went to the state meet
that year. As a pitcher he helped
bring Marfa three district base- |
ball championships, and he was
also a member of the track team,

ABOARD USS TICONDE-
ROGA (AP) — Skylab’s
astronauts came safely
home from man’s longest
space journey today,
splashing down with pin-
point precision in the Pacific
Ocean after 28 days and 11
million miles in orbit.
Charles Conrad Jr., Dr.
Joseph P. Kerwin and Paul
J. Weitz ended their 28-day
journey when their Apollo
ferry ship parachuted into
the water.
The main recovery ship,
the aircraft carrier
Ticonderoga, was in the
prime recovery area about
830 miles southwest of San
Diego, Calif., ready to hoist
the astronauts aboard for a
series of vital medical tests
to determine how well they
withstood their record
exposure to space weight-
lessness.
_ Earlier, Mission Control
considered holding Conrad,
Kerwin and Weitz in orbit
longer to troubleshoot a
refrigeration problem.
But controilers decided
there was nothing the
astronauts could do and
gave them the green light to
start the homeward voyage.
They had separated their
Apollo ferry ship from the
118-foot-long laboratory.
Hundreds of white-clad
sailors on deck and millions
watching television around
the world again had a
ringside seat to a U.S. man-
-in-space landing as the
Apollo craft floated down
through low-hanging clouds
and dangling under three
huge orange and white
parachutes.
“Everyone’s in super
shape,’’ Conrad said as the
spacecraft bobbed on the
water awaiting pickup.
Frogmen immediately
leaped from helicopters to
secure the spacecraft with
flotation collars.
The Ticonderoga reported
the astronauts had landed
6% miles from the ship and
that the ship was 6'2 miles
from the target point, in-
dicating a perfect touch-
down.
The Ticonderoga steamed
to pick up the Apollo capsule
with the astronauts still
inside, in contrast to most
earlier U.S. flights when the
spacemen were lifted to the
carrier. by helicopter.
Medical requirements
dictated the pick up method
today.
Medical experts were not
certain how the astronauts
would react after returning
to earth’s gravity following
record exposure to space
weightlessness so_ they
decided the astronauts
should be subjected to as
little activity as possible
until they can be examined
in mobile medical labora-
tories aboard the Ticonde-
| roga.
The landing completed an
historic space mission that
lasted 28 days and 50
minutes. During that time
the spacemen circled the
earth 395 times.
Mission Control was kept
in suspense for most of the
final 76 minutes of the flight
— a period when the Apollo
ship was out of radio contact
with ground stations.
The Ticonderoga’s radar
picked up the streaking
craft at a distance of 188
miles, 10 minutes before
landing.
While out of radio contact,
at 9:11 a.m., the astronauts
conducted the critical
retrorocket burn that
slowed their 17,100 mile-an-
hour speed by 130 miles,
allowing earth's gravity to
tug the spacecraft out of or-
bit and start the long glide
through the atmosphere to
the eastern Pacific.

DETROIT, May 10 (UP) — Ford
Motor Company and CIO officials
meet today to attempt settlement
of a six-day-old strike against two
key Ford plants that will idle a
total of 85,000 workers by tonight.
Reopening of negotiations
eame as Ford scheduled
immediate shutdowns of
eleven assembly ines, with
the remaining eight to close
by next Monday.
Henry Ford I, vouthful head of
the company, accepted a union
offer to reopen peace talks which
were cut short last Thurs. when
2,200 United Auto workers struck
at Ford’s River Rouge and Lin-
coln-Mercury plants.
In his bid to reopen negotia-
tions, Walter Reuther, president
of the UAW, asked Ford to per-
sonally lead the company negotia-
ting them.
Ford declined the _ invitation,
but said “we will be happy to
meet with you at 1 p.m. (CST).”
Walkout Unnecessary
Reuther referred to a letter the
Ford president wrote to striking
workers last week, in which he
said the walkout was “unneces-
sary.”
“Since your letter expresses
eoneern for the Ford workers, we
would like to suggest that vou as-
sume your personal obligations to
participate in negotiations.”

THE HAGUE (AP) — The In-
ternational Court of Justice
called on France today to re-
frain from nuclear testing in
the South Pacific pending a fi-
nal decision on the legality of
the test series,
By an 8-6 vote, the court
ruled that Australia and France
should not take any action in
the meantime “which might ex-
tend the dispute or prejudice
the final decision of the court.”
The court’s ruling followed
applications last month by
Australia and New Zealand
seeking an injunction against
| the French test series,
- The court said it would
schedule further hearings in
September and December. It
did not say if France, which
boycotted last month’s hear-
ings, would be represented at
the forthcoming sessions.
In their pleadings before the
court, representatives of ‘both
the Australian and New Zea-
land governments said further
nuclear tests in the South Pa-
cific would present unaccep-
table health and environmental
‘dangers to the population of
areas concerned.
The Australian attorney gen-
eral, Lionel Murphy, said the
forthcoming series might be of
“a size and yield hitherto un-
equalled.”
The people of the southern

| house veterans committee today
tentatively accepted a compromise
bill under whieh ail needy 65-
year-old veterans of World Wars
I and If could qualify for month-
ly pensions of $72.
Such pensions, under present
regulations, are paid to needy vet-
erans who can show a non-ser-
vice-connected disability of at
least 10 per cent. In practice, al-
most any 65-year-old veteran is
disabled to that extent or more.
The committee voted to write
the regulations into law, at the
same time wiping out the 10 per
‘cent disability requirement.
It also agreed to raise some-
what the income limitation that
comprises a test of need. And it
voted to wipe out the existing re-
quirement that the veteran be un-
‘employable to be eligible for the
_ pension.
Rankin's Substitute
| The compromise, offered by
Committee Chairman Jonn #§.
| Rankin. is a substitute for earlier
| proposals to pension all veterans.
| regardless of need.
The committee rejected all
/ amendments proposed to the new
| bill, but put off until tomorrow a
| final vote on it.
| ‘The bill, in a nutshell. would
‘liberalize and write into law the
| regulations by which the Veter-
var Administration has deter-
i mined what veterans are eligible
lfor $60 or $72 monthly pensions
| for “total and permanent” non-
service-connected disability.
These regulations provide $60
pensions for men under 55 who
can show a single disability rated
at least 60 per cent or combined
| disabilities of 70 per cent. At the
55 the disability require-
age of
ment is cut to 60 per cent, wheth-
er single or combined; at age
| 60 it is dropped to 50 per cent.
At age 65 the pension goes UP
| to $72; the disability requirement
is cut to 10 per cent. In all cases,
the income limitation is $1,000
for single men, 2.500 for those
_ with dependents. Unemployablity
also is a requirement.
