| 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’

| 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.
White Howse news secretary
| Pierre Salinger disclosed Friday
‘night that Kennedy and E‘’sen-
hower would mect at Camp Da-
vid, the Catootin Mountain re-
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.”
Salinger also. disclosed that
Kennedy had been in indirect con-
tact with Gov. Nelson A. Rocke-
feller of New York, another Re-
publican leader, and that he had
conferred Friday with Sen. Barry

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,”’

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

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

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
of the national committee that the
party adopt a platform calling for

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-

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,
with several records to his credit. :
He was named to every all-dis- |

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

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.

The committee rejected all
/ amendments proposed to the new

| ‘The bill, in a nutshell. would
‘liberalize and write into law the

var Administration has deter-

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

is cut to 10 per cent. In all cases,

Cuba and the United States.
The key paragraph of a seven-
power Latin American resolution
to refer the U.S.-Cuban situation
to the organization Fidel Castro's
government refuses to deal with
was killed.
The Assembly wound up the
weeklong U.N. debate with a mild
appeal to ‘all member states to
take such peaceful action as is
open to them to remove existing
tensions"’ between the two coun-
tries.
A last-minute crisis developed
when the world parliament at
‘first refused to approve its budg-
etary committee's recommenda-
tion for a $100 million budget for
the U.N. Congo operation for the
first 10 months of 1961.
India proposed a special session
next week to take up the Congo
budget. But diplomats worked out
a formula to save the situation
‘when the United States proposed
‘that the financial discussion be
dropped temporarily to let the
delegates talk the situation over
privately,
Approve Pakistan Formula
By a 54 to 15 vote with 23 ab-
stentions, the assembly finally ap-
proved a new formula introduced |
by Pakistan which raised from |
75 to 80 per cent the amount of |
reduction needy countries could)
obtain in their share of the Congo |
costs, levied under the regular |
U.N, seale of assessments.
The Cuban question dominated)
the world parliament's last day, |
which began at 11 a.m. EST Fri-'
dav with simultaneous meetines
of the assembly and its main po-
litical committee.
Cuban Foreign Minister Raul
Roa eventually won success in his
battle to keep the Organization of
American States out of the Castro
government's affairs, even though
‘the Latin American resolution
took a roundabout way of refer-
ring the issue simply to OAS
members. |
The 99-nation political commit-
tee Friday afternoon approved by
exactly the two - thirds vote re-
‘quired for final passage in the
assembly the key paragraph of
the seven-power measure. The
committee vote in the paragraph
was 56 to 28 with 14 abstentions.
_ Vote switches killed the same
‘paragraph when it came before
the assembly early today. The
parent body knocked referral to
OAS members out of th Latin
American resolution by a 56 to 32
vote, with 8 abstentions.

Boone's Junior Chamber of
Commerce launches its annual
membership drive tonight with
Dick George as the chairman. The
drive will be a month long af-
fair.
Driving “Jayceebelle,” a 1937
Chevrolet, is the “penalty” for
not obtaining a new member.
Names of club members have
|been compiled on a list. When
| Jaycee’s name comes up he must
either have a new member or
| drive the decrepit auto until he
| does. Members will not be per-
mitted to drive their own car if
they are on probation with “Jay-
‘| ceebelle.”
The Junior Chamber of Com-
| merce is an organization for civie-
minded men 21-35 years of age.
‘| Purpose of the organization is to
build a better community and to
| offer young men an opportunity
to obtain leadership training.
Junior Chamber is not a “white
collar” organization as some per-
sons believe. The Boone Jaycees,
for example, currently have serv-
ice station attendants, garage me-
chanics, doctors, lawyers, busi-
nessmerm and representatives from
many different fields as mem-
bers.

EDWARDS AIR FORCE BASE,
Calif. (AP)—A test pilot coolly
describes as ‘‘just routine” a trou-

White later brushed aside the
miscues, saying, ‘We expect
some unusual things to show up!

‘That was quite a boost.”

WASHINGTON, April 22 (*
—President Kennedy meets with
former President Dwight D.
Eisenhower today in an evident
bid to rally strong national sup-
port for critical steps which he
may consider necessary to deal
with the increasingly dangerous
Cuban crisis.
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 intensifying cold war con-
flicts 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 re-
ported to have ordered a thor-
ough study of reasons for the
defeat of the rebel invasion at-
tempt which began last week-
‘end with the United States’ mor-
al support—and, it was general-
ly 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 calculate accurately in ad-
vance the strength of Prime
Minister Fidel Castro's military
reaction to the rebel assault as
well as possible errors in intelli-
gence.
_ 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 con-
ferences with foreign leaders.
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, believ-
ing that “as leader of the Re-
publican party and as former
president he should know what
the situation is.”
Salinger also disclosed that
Kennedy had been in indirect
contact with Gov. Nelson A.
Rockefeller of New York, an-
other Republican leader, and
that he had conferred Friday
with Sen. Barry Goldwater, (R-
Ariz.)
The contacts with Republi-
cans followed Kennedy's meet-
ing at the White House Thurs-
day with former Vice President
Richard M. Nixon, his Republi-
can opponent for the presidency
last year.
Nixon said in New York Fri-
day night that he had told Ken-
nedy he would support him
“even to the commitment of
American armed forces.”
Nixon said that as a private
‘itizen he would back Kennedy
n such a move if Kennedy con-
idered it necessary to “stop the
yuildup of the Communist
yeach-head in Cuba.”
Both Kennedy and Eisenhow-
1 arranged to fly to Camp Da-
‘id by helicopter, Kennedy go-
ng directly from the White
fouse and Eisenhower from his

dent Kennedy, handed to E. L.

- Khrushchev was replying to a
communication several days ago
from Kennedy.
As distributed by Tass, the Sovi-
et news agency, the Khrushchev
statement referred to a Kennedy
statement that rockets that might
be Bed;
could be stationed in Cuba, with
the inference that this posed prob-
lems for the United States in rela-
tion to the whole Western hemi-
sphere.
‘“‘Mr. President, you are follow-
ing a very dangerous path,”
Khrushchev said. ‘Ponder that.’
The Soviet premier went on to
mention the situation in the Far
East. He contended the United
States had seized Formosa, and
said this started the United States
“on the road of plunder.”
He said the United States
threatens war in case Communist
China moves for unity with Fors
mosa.
“And this is being done by a
nation which has officially recog-
nized that Taiwan (Formosa) be-
longs to China,”” Khrushchev said.
The premier continued:
* You may, of course, express
your sympathies for the imperial-
ist and colonialist countries, and
this will not surprise anyone. For
instance, you vote with them in
the United Nations.
“This is a matter of your
morality. But what has been done
against Cuba is no longer
morality. This is terism.”’ .

such measures against Cuba as it

U.S. president must recognize
that other countries have no less-

being made which constitute a
threat to the security of the Se-
viet Union,” he said.

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:
ollary Arms-for-Europe program

ABOARD USS TICONDEROGA (AP) — Skylab’s astro-
nauts came safely hore from man's longest space journey to-
day, splashing down with pinpoint precision in the Pacific
Ocean after 28 days and 11 milion miles in orbit.
“We're all in good shape,” Commander Charles Conrad Jr.
reported as the spacecraft descended. “Everything's OK.”
The astronauts almost were held over in orbit to try to repair
a refrigeration problem in their space station. But Mission
Control decided there was nothing the astronauts cauld do and
told them ty come home.
So. 10 minutes behind schedule, Conrad. Dr. Joseph P. Ker-

— Skylab’s astronauts landed in “‘super

walked shakily a few minutes later to the
doctors’ office to see how well they had
withstood a record 28 days in space.
The bullseye splashdown and quick
recovery by this veteran aircraft carrier
marked a flawless end to a mission that
started with failure. The flight took a
major step toward giving man a place in
space. ,
Charles “Pete” Conrad, Joseph P.
Kerwin and Paul J. Weitz returned in the
Apollo command ship in which they were
launched May 25. The big space station
remained in earth-orbit, ready for its next
crew in five weeks.
President Nixon quickly sent a telegram

“You have given conclusive evidence
that even with the most advanced
scientific and technological support in the
world, the courage and resourcefulness of
good men are still central to the success of

radioed after three orange and white
striped parachutes eased the command
module into the gently rolling seas of the
Pacific 834 miles southwest of San Diego.
The splashdown drama was captured by
television cameras and beamed back by.
* Kerwin and Weitz reported some diz-
ziness after splashdown and Kerwin in-
flated a pair of pressure pants to keep his
blood pressure from dropping to the point
where he might faint. This temporary
effect was expected because of the ten-
dency of astronauts’ blood to pool in their
legs, away from the brain, as a result of
heart laziness induced by long exposure to
the lack of gravity.
Dr. Lawrehce Dietlein, a NASA
physician, said the astronauts looked in
“quite good” health, “far better from
what I personally expected. a
The spacecraft was hoisted aboard this
ship with the pilots still inside, a switch
from past procedures made to keep the
astronauts’ exertion to a minimum.
Medics were ready to carry Conrad,
Kerwin and Weitz on stretchers, if neces-
sary, from their scorched capsule to the
blue mobite medical laboratories 66 feet
away.
But the astronauts, smiling and waving,
climbed out of the Apollo under their own
power. They stood on a wooden platform
briefly, chatting with Dr. Charles Ross,
the flight surgeon, and then carefully
made their way down some steps and to
the special Skylab clinic.
Conrad, who has been in space more
than anyone, appeared the most relaxed.
Weitz and especially Kerwin “walked a
little bowlegged and slightly hunched
over.
But the fact that they were able to walk
as well as they did was significant. It
meant the three Americans were in better
shape after spending 28 days in space than
two Russian cosmonauts were at the end
of an 18-day flight in 1970. They had to be
carried from their spacecraft.
The primary objective of the Skylab
marathon was to see how well men fare
for long periods of weightlessness and
then adjust to the rigors of gravity back on
earth.
Conrad, Kerwin and Weitz were un-
dergoing long and detailed medical tests
within an hour after their 9:50 a.m. EDT
splashdown. Doctors said the first results
would not be known until late in the day.
The fate of two planned 56-day flights
aboard Skylab hinged on the findings of
the doctors. The next launch is scheduled
July 27 for Skylab 2 astronauts Alan L.
Bean, Owen K. Garriott and Jack R.
Lousma.
The only problem of the day developed
just as the three Skylab 1 astronauts were
preparing to leave the space station in
orbit 274 miles above earth. The
refrigeration system that runs the.
station’s food and biological sample
freezers failed. ,
The nature of the trouble was not known,
and flight director Neil Hutchinson said it
may be possible for ground controllers to
fix it by doctoring the system by remote
control from earth.
If the trouble could not be fixed, Hut-
chinson said about 15 per cent of the food
aboard Skylab could spoil. But he said this
would not seriously affect the next two
missions.
The Apollo command ship was loaded
with a wealth of information about the sun
and earth’s natural resources as well as
medical data.
Dr. James C. Fletcher, NASA ad-
ministrator, praised recovery forces for
their unusually smooth pickup of the
astronauts and said all major objectives of
the flight were completed.

there was nothing the astronauts could do
and told them to come home.
Ten minutes behind schedule, Conrad,
Kerwin and Weitz undocked their Apollo

the atmosphere above Thailand for the
fiery descent.
The Apollo craft hit the calm blue

The Apollo was lined up for
its dive into the almosphere
when Conrad fired the ship’s
main engine at 6:05 a.m. This
lowered the low point of the
orbit from 262 to 104 miles.
The pilots used their televi-

‘topic for the conference. But it

Kennedy could discuss with his
predecessor a broad range of it-
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-
ents, the President was report-

The President was understood
to be concerned about what some
authorities called a failure to eal-

rebel assault as well as possible
errors in intelligence.

Salinger said Kennedy wanted
to bring Eisenhower up to date
on the Cuban situation, believing
that “‘as leader of the Republi-

It was passed last night by the

The Lords planned to bring the
measure—main item in the labor
government’s Socialist program —
to early consideration. It is ex-
pected generally the upper cham-
ber will riddle it with amend-
ements, and return it to commons
which then will restore it virtually
to present form, to become law.
Socialists call the bill an “attack
«On the heart of capitalism,” be-
cause control of iron and_ steel
means control essentially of Brit-
ish manufacturing, from bicycles
to battleships.
The bili, proposed by the labor
«government, went to the House of

in Commons to reject it was de-
feated 330-203. |
It authorizes the government to.
‘buy the stock of 107 companies, |

be free to compete with one an-
other, but not to the point of clash-

anxiously for more than a half hour
between the time the ship's main
braking rocket fired and Conrad
reported, “everything’s okay,’’ while
the ship was still in the air.
The capsule’s small drogue
parachutes and then its three orange
and white striped main Canopiés
blossomed out on schedule and eased
the astronauts into the calm sea at 9:50
a.m. EDT within view of a television
camera aboard this veteran aircraft
carrier. :
“Everybody’s in super shape,” said
Conrad, the veteran commander of
America’s first space station.
The ship reported the astronauts
landed precisely on target, 843 miles
southwest of San Diego. The Ticon-
deroga was 6% miles downwind at the
time. .
The aircraft carrier moyed quickly to
the side of the bobbing, scorched
spacecraft and hoisted it aboard, using
a single nylon rope 1% inches in
diameter.
It was the first time an Apollo had
been hoisted aboard a recovery ship
with its crewmen still inside. This was
done for the Skylab recovery because
doctors wanted the pilots picked up with

Connally heads the Senate For-

has been conducting the hearings.
Senator Watkins (R-Utnah)
walked out in silent fury, but later
told a reporter:
Sick And. Tired---
“I'm sick and tired of it. I don't
intend to be lectured, humiliated
and embarrassed by the chairman
any longer. I'm through with the
hearings and any further questions
I have to ask will be asked from
the Senate floor.”
Watkins is not a member of the
committee, but has been given the
apecinl privilege of queationing wit-
neases at his own request, He has
ipersistently challenged the need for
‘the treaty.
' At the outset of the hearings two
weeks ago, Chairman Connally ac-
cused both Watkins and Senator
Donnell (R-Mo) of trying to “ob-

Watkins and Donnell hotly de-}

The row—threatening trouble for:
the administration when the Sen-

developed as Watkins started to:
question Mrs. Kathryn H. Stone of:
the U, S. League of Women Voters.
Connally objected that instead of
asking questions, Watkins was}
“making a speech,”
That sent Watkins out of the
room in a huff. However, his col-
league, Senator Donnell, sat tight
and told newsmen:
“T expect to question as many of
the witnesses as I have time to.”
Watkins subsequently issued a
slatement declaring that “ever

EDWARDS AIR FORCE BASE.
Cal. April 21.——Maj. Bob
White flew the X15 rocket plane
to a new controlled flight speed
record of 3,140 miles an hour
today, despite engine trouble and
a leak, in his pressurized cabin.
The new mark is 235 m. p. h.
faster than White's previous rec-
ord of 2.905 m. p. h, last March
7, but the Air Force officer said
he felt no sensation of greater
speed.
+ ob +
THE ENGINE trouble came a
split second after the X15
dropped away from its B52 math-
er ship 140 miles east .of here
above Nridden Hills, Cal. ®
The engine ignited briefly,
then cut out. For the next 30
seconds, while the X15 fell help-
‘Tessty from 45,000 feet to 37,000
feet, White labored f ntically to
get the engine restarted. ~
| Finally he succeeded. The en-
| gine’s 57,400 pounds of thrust
came on at full throttle, driving
him back in his seat with a force
three times that of normal
Btavity.
+ +t
WHITE ZOOMED to 80,000 feet,
the altitude at which he reached
the new speed récord, then shut
off his engine.
- At 90.000 feet his pressurized
cabin sprang a’ leak. Instantly
-and automatically,this space-type
flying suit inflated to compensate

Calif. (AP)—Maj. Bob White flew
the X15 rocket plane to a new
controlled flight speed record of
3,140 miles an hour Friday, de-

The new mark is 2% m.p.h.
faster than White's previous rec-

felt no sensation of greater speed.
The engine trouble came a split

The engine ignited briefly, then

WASHINGTON (AP) — The
leaders of the world’s two nuclear
superpowers pledged in a land-
mark 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 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 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 confron-
tations, 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 coun-
tries, in circumstances which
may endanger international
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 Com-
munist forces in Cambodia were
underway at the time the
agreement was being negotiated
and that the bombing ‘‘was not
raised as applying to that par-
ticular 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.’
“I'll see you tomorrow at the
signing,’’ Nixon reminded
Breshnev 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.
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 vrgent consultations”’
at ny time international tension-
sreach 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 formally
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.
The reunion could provide a
forum for the signing of a treaty
placing permanent limits, and
possibly calling for reductions, of
the two nations’ offensive nuclear
weapons.

by Foreign Legion paratroopers seized Algiers in a blood-
less coup today and announced they had taken over Alger-
ia and the Sahara Desert from President Charles de Gaul-

es Povernment.
Premier Michel Debre went on
a nationwide radio and television
hookup to appeal for ‘‘absolute
obedience” in France but already
minor right-wing violence was re-
ported in France itself.
A bomb exploded at the town
hall of the Neuilly District of Par-
is. Police said the bomb was the
type used by right-wing extremists
in past acts of terror against the
De Gaulle government.
The insurgent army and_= air
force generals in Algiers an-
nounced over Algiers Radio—re-
named ‘Radio France’’—that they
had proclaimed a_ state of siege
throughout the African territory.
The generals appealed to. the
army, navy, air force and police
to join them.
De Gaulle apparently was taken
completely by surprise, although
opposition among Frenchmen in
Algiers to his policy of permitting
Algeria eventually to become in.
dependent has been rising. But
the government reacted swiftly.
France cancelled all military
leaves. De Gaulle called a cabinet
meeting to consider further action
and conferred during the day with
Debre and Adm. George Cabainer
chief of staff of the French navy.
Debre named Gen. Jean Olie as
new commander-in-chief in Algeri:
to replace Gen. Fernand Gambie;
who was ‘arrested by the insur
gents. Olie flew immediately tc

'n his bid to reopen negotiations,
Walter Reuther, president of the

Ford declined the invitation,

Reuther referred to a letter the

workers last week, in which he
said the walkout was “unnecese

“Since your letter expresses
concern for the Ford workers, we
would like te suggest that you as-
sume your personal obligationa to
participate in negotiations.”
“This will also afford you the
opportunity,” Reuther said, “of
being apprised of all facts in the

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 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, 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
consequences 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 cir-
cumstances which may endanger in-
ternational 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.”’
“T’ll see you tomorrow at the signing,”
Nixon reminded Brezhnev just before
midnight Thursday as he left the Soviet
Embassy after a banquet of caviar, bor-
sch, Russian beef and fish, two kinds of
vodka and Soviet champagne.

for formally limiting the
atomic arsenals of the two
countries.

Rambouilet, France, Aug. 28.—
(?)—Doris Stevens, American fem-
inist leader, and three others of a
group of feminists who tried to
“crash the gates” of the presiden-
tial chateau today in behalf of the
equal rights movement, were held
in custedy at the police commis-
sariat for several hours for failure
to have their identity papers.
They were released at 3:30
o'clock this afternoon, after all f
the statesmen who had lunch with
President Doumergue had . gone.
The women had sought a 10-min-
ute audience with the president's
guests, who yesterday signed the
Kellogg-Briand renunciation of
war treaty. The play of the fem-
inists was to discuss with them a
project for an international treaty
establishing equal rights for men
and women.
Those held over the noon hour
with Miss Stevens were Mrs. Lor-
ing Pickering, Fanny Bernand of
France and Mrs. Betty Gram
Swing, formerly of Portland, Ore.,
and now wife of an English cor-
respondent. The women all left
for Paris.
The women, members of a party
of about a dozen, appeared at the
chateau gate before the arrival of
Secretary of State Kellogg and oth-
ers of the treaty signers and
sought to present a petition to the
French president. This‘ read:
“Having not yet received an ap-
pointment for a requested audience
at Paris with the plenipotentiaries
who are to be your guests today,
the women’s committee of interna-
tional action has sent its emis-
saries to ask a brief audience with

| No Apparent Reason Why Pact
Should Not be Ratified
Promptly; Undoubtedly
There Will be Some Oppo-
sition From Some Quarters;
Senator Borah Will be Key
Man in Coolidge’s Request
for Ratification.
| Washington, Aug. 23—()—What
will the Senate do is the question
which interests Washington, now
that the Kellogg-Briand peace treaty
has been signed.
| The answer to it as this time is
‘that there appears to be no reason
‘why the pact should not be ratified
‘promptly but this view is qualified
‘by the admonition that many things
‘ean happed in international and do-
,mestic affairs before next winter to
chanee the current outlook.
- Fortified by an undeniable public
will toward international pacts that
.will make armed conflict less likely
‘and still absolve the United States
‘from foreign entanglements, the ad-
| ministration is expected to put tho
full force of its prestige behind the
| treaty when it is presented to the
‘Senate. The capital view is that
| there undoubtedly will be opposition
from some quarters but, on the other
aed. that the treaty will have many
limportant friends.
: In the light of facts as they now
stand, Senator Borah seems certain
to be in the latter group. As chair-
man of the Senate foreign relations
‘committee, he will be a key man in
| President Coolidge’s request for rat-
‘ification. The Senator is credited
‘with having been fully informed
_while negotiations for the treaty
were in progress and thus to have
been given the opportunity to pre-
sent any objections he may have
‘had.
The simple language in which the
| treaty is phrased, the success of Sec-
retary Kellogg is barring provisions
‘likely to be objectionable to the
, American isolationist, and the fact
‘that the treaty appears to impose no
j Batigation upon this country other
‘than to renounce war as an instru-
ment of national policy, are held in
. Washington to be factors arguing
for Senate approval.
+ Among the interesting specula-
' tions is whether the opponents of the
? administration's naval building pro-
‘gram will use the Kellogg pact to re-
‘inforee ther arugments. There is
jevidence that Washington officials
‘are experiencing some uneasiness
‘over their task in reconciling the
«treaty with the request for more
| Ships.
) $*eps have already been taken,
however, it an effort to reassure the
' country, and the world, on this

a considerable portion of a_ recent
' speech to this subject.

‘+ ing negotiated a treaty that would

. which is a step in the right direction
and makes war less likely.

‘Said he believed this and other

| ABOARD USS TICONDEROGA (AP) — Skylab’s astronauts
came safely home from man’s longest space journey today,
splashing down with pinpoint precision in the Pacifie Ocean af-
ter 28 days and 11 million miles in orbit.
“We're all ‘in good shape,” Commander Charles Conrad Jr.
reported as the spacecraft descended, “Everything’s OK,”
‘The astronauts almost were held over in orbit to try to repair
a refrigeration problem in their space station. But mission con-
trol decided there. was nothing the astronauts could do and told
them to come home. . .
So 10 minutes behind schedule Conrad, Dr. Joseph P. Kerwin
and Paul J. Weitz undocked their Apollo ferry. ship from the
station and executed a series of maneuvers that .sent them
slamming into the atmosphere above Thailand for a fiery de-
scent.
The Apollo craft hit the calm Pacific Waters at 9:50 a.m.
EDT about 830 milessouthwest of San Diego, Calif., within sight
of the main recovery ship, the USS Ticonderoga. It was just af-
ter dawn off the west coast. ;
Hundreds of white-clad sailors on deck and millions watching
television around the world once 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 or-
ange 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% 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.
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 am., the astronauts con-
ducted 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 created considerable concer. A
maneuver intended to correct it caused a brief gyroscope prob-
lem that caused the 10-minute delay in the astronauts’ departure
from the orbiting laboratory.

MOSCOW, April 22, (P—
Soviet Premier Nikita Khrus-
chev told President Kennedy
today the invasion of Cuba is
“a crime which has revolted
the whole world.’
“It has been established in-
controvertibly that it was the
United States that prepared
the intervention, financed,
armed and transported the
merceneary bands which in-
vaded Cuba,” Khruschev said
in a message to President
Kennedy, handed to E. L.
Freers, U. S. charge d’af-
faires.
Khruschev was replying to
a communication several days
ago from Kennedy.
As distributed by Tass, the
Soviet news agency, the
Khruschev statement referred
to a Kennedy statement that
rockets that might be used
against the United States could
be stationed in Cuba, with the
inference that this posed pro-
blems for the United States in
relation to the whole Western
Hemisphere.
“Mr. President, you are
following a very dangerous
path,” Khruschev said. ‘‘Pon-
der that.”
The Soviet premier went on
to mention the situation in the
Far East. He contended the
United States had seized For-
mosa, and said this started
the United States ‘‘on the road
of plunder.”
He said the United States
threatens war in case Com-
munist China moves for unity
with Formosa.
“And this is being done by
a nation which has officially
recognized that Taiwan (For-
mosa) belongs to China,”
Khruschev said.

WASHINGTON (AP)—President
Kennedy today appointed Gen.
Maxwell BD. Taylor, former Army
chief of staff, to make a special
survey of U.S. capabilities in the
field of “nonconventional” war-
fare such as guerrilla activity.
Tavior immediately went on the
Job. He atiended a meeting this
| morning of the National Security
'Council_one of the few sessions
jof that major defense group since
Kennedy took office.
“Factical Operations”
Pierre Salinger, White House
press secretary, said that “‘noa-
conventional” warfare in this case
is not used in the usual sense of
nuclear warfare bui of tactical
operations.
Salinger said Kennedy decided
within the last few days that such
a sutvey is necessary and asked
Taylor Friday to conduct it.
The study clearly was inspired
iby events of the past week in
Cuba.
Pressed by newsmen for the
purpose Kennedy had in mind in
designating Taylor to conduct a
study of a specialized phase of
military operations, Salinger cited
the last paragraph of Kennedy's
| speech two days ago before a
group of the American Society of
Newspaper Editors.
In that Kennedy said: “Let me
then make clear as your presi-
dent that I am determined upon
our sysiem’s survival and success,
regardless of the cost and regard-
less of the peril.”
“PTofit From Lesson”
“We intend to profit from this
lesson. We intend to re-examine
and re-orient our forces of all
kinds—our tacties and other insti
tutions here in this community.
We intend to intensify our efforts

| Los Angeles, Aug. 27.—(?)—Three
ardent love letters, written by Leo
P, Kelley to Mrs, Myrtie Mellus
shortly before her tragic death, to-
day were thrust by Kelley, himself,
into the opening day of his trial for
her murder. . Z
The secret hiding place of the let-
ters in the palatiait Mellus home
was revealed by the accused lover
of the soclety woman, when he was
taken there, with the trial judge
and jury, to view the scene of his
admitted five years’ lilicit love-mak-
ing and of his asserted crime. Offl-
cers Who opened the letters, located
with a photograph of the handsome
young butcher boy in a false-
bottomed d¥awer of Mrs. Mellus’
dresser, found them to contain
fervid expressions of Kelley's love
for the then wife of Frank Mellus,
wealthy sportsman.
Told. Where Letters Were.
During the official court tour of
the house, Kelley, smiling and at
ease, whispered to a newspaper re-
porter:
“Look in that bureau. Two of the
drAwers have false bottoms, Under
them you'll find something interest-
Ing.” :
Captain of Detectives Ray Cato
was notified and drew forth the
photograph and tetters,
The dresser, containing the evi-
dences of the illicit love affair, wag
located in Mrs. Mellus’ second floor
bedroom, the room in which she is
e€eclared to-have been mutilated
and beaten to death and where her
nude body was found.
The love letters were addressed to
“Mrs. G.'D. Rathbun, Ensenada,
‘Lower. California.” The. name,
Kelley explained, waa the secret one
Mra. Mellus used on her trips to
Ensenada,’ and the name to which
he dlways wrote his Jetters to her.
Accused Smiles Frequently.
The accused, accompanied by
sheriff'a deputies and his attorneys,
posed for cameramen, chatted easi-
ly, smiled frequently and smoked
many cigarettes as the court offi-
cially inspected the scene of the
crime.
Previous to the viait of the court
to the Mellus home the proseci-
tion's argument to the jury was
given, and one witness wag heard.
He presented plats of the first and
second floors of the Mellus home,
explaining the details for the jury's
visit to the scene,

ABOARD USS TICONDE-
ROGA (AP) — Skylab’s astro-
nauts came home safely today
from man’s longest space jour-
ney and shunned stretchers to
walk smartly but unsteadily
across the deck of this recovery
carrier,
The wobbly 60 steps from the
Apollo ferry ship to a medical
laboratory indicated Charles
Conrad Jr., Dr. Joseph P. Ker-
win and Paul J. Weitz had suf-
fered some effects from a
record four weeks’ exposure to
space weightlessness.
But Commander Conrad re-
ported as the Apollo parachuted
toward a pinpoint landing in the
Pacific after an 11-million-mile
journey: ‘‘We’re all in good
shape. Everything’s OK.”’
They splashed down right on
target, just 642 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 weigh-
tless exposure, were prepared
“o lift them out on litters.
But, after consultation with
doctors, Kerwin, a physician,
said they could walk to the
medical trailer where they be-
gan six hours of extensive med-
ical 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 but gradually
picked up steam as he reached
the medical lab door. Kerwin
was slightly stooped and both he
and Weitz were somewhat
unsteady in their steps,
Doctors assisted both Kerwin
and Weitz by holding 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 physi-
cal being.
How well Conrad, Kerwin and
Weitz fared in the weightless
world will play a major role in
determining if man can function
efficiently in future long-
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 un-
docked their Apollo ferry ship
and executed a series of
maneuvers that sent them
slamming into the atmosphere
above Thailand for the fiery de-
scent.
The Apollo craft hit the calm
blue waters at 9:50 a.m. EDT
about 830 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 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 sail-
ors on deck and millions watch-
ing 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 or-
ange 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 se-
cure the spacecraft with flota-
tion collars.
| ABOARD USS TICONDEROGA
(AP) — Skylab’s astronauts came
safely home from man’s longest space
journey today, splashing down with
pinpoint precision in the Pacific Ocean
after 28 days and 11 million miles in
orbit.
Just 39 minutes after touchdown,
Charles Conrad Jr., Dr. Joseph P.
Kerwin and Paul J. Weitz were hoisted
onto the deck of this recovery carrier,
still inside their Apollo ferry ship.
“We're all in good shape. Every-
thing’s OK,” commander Conrad ra-
dioed as the spacecraft descended
through the clouds and landed within
view of USS Ticonderoga, just 614
miles away. That indicated the astro-
nauts had suffered no adverse physi-
cal reactions on returning to earth’s
gravity after a record four weeks’ ex-
posure lo space weightlessness.
Jen minutes later they climbed
through the hatch, smiled and waved
as the ship's band played “Anchors
Aweigh” tor the all- Navy Skylab
crew.
They walked unsteadily toward a
mobile medical laboratory, showing
some effects from the four weeks’ ex-
posure to weightlessness.
The astronauts almost were held
over in orbit to try to repair a retrig-
eration problem in their space station
But Mission Control decided there was
nothing the astronauts could do and
told them to come home.
So, 10 minutes behind schedule. Con-
rad, Kerwin and Weitz undocked their
Apollo ferry ship from the station and
executed a series of maneuvers that
sent them slamming into the atmos-
phere above Thailand for a fiery de-
scent
The Apollo craft hit the calm Pacific
waters at 9:50 a.m. (EDT) about 830

| Washington (?)— President
Kennedy met with his top
security advisers and then
met with former President
Dwight D. Eisenhower on the
Cuban situation.
He met Eisenhower at
Camp David, the presidential
retreat in Maryland’s Catoc-
tin Mountajns.
The new President obvious-
ly wanted to rally strong na-
tional support for whatever
further steps he considers
necessary by this country.
Repercussions from this
week’s invasion of Cuba by
anti-Castro Cubans was the
prime subject for the lunch-
eon discussion, but the talks
could range also over a broad
range of intensifying cold war
conflicts with Russia.
Miscalculation?
In the midst of these de.
velopments, the President was
reported io have ordered a
thorough study of reasons for
the defeat of the rebel inva.
sion attempt which began last
week-end with the U.S. moral
support ~— and, it was gener-
ally believed here, with some
backing of U.S. money and
arms.
The President was under-
stood to be concerned about
what some authorities called
a failure to calculate accurate-
ly in advance the strength of
Prime Minister Fidel Castro’s
military reaction to the rebel
assault as well as possible er-
rors in intelligence.
Kennedy also had been in
indirect contract with Gov.
Nelson Rockefeller of New
York, another Republican
leader, and conferred with
Sen. Barry Goldwater, (R-
Ariz).
Support by Nixon
The contacts with Republi.
cans followed Kennedy’s
meeting at the White House
with former Vice President
Richard Nixon, his Republi-
can opponent for the presi-
dency last year.
Nixon said in New York
that he had told Kennedy he
would support him “even to
the commitment of American
armed forces.”
Nixon said that as a private
citizen he would back Ken-
nedy in such a move if Ken.
nedy considered it necessary
to “stop the buildup of the
Communist beachhead ir
Cuba.”

| PARIS (UPI) — Four rebel
French generals suppotred by
Foreign Legion paratroopers
selzed Algiers in a bloodless coup
today and announced they had
taken over Algeria and the Sa-
‘hara Desert from President
Charles de Gaulle’s government.
Premier Michel Debre went on
a nationwide radio and television
hookup to appeal for “absolute
obedience” in France but already
minor right-wing viclence was re-
ported in France itself.
Bomb Explodes
A bomb exploded in a telephone
booth of the town hall of
the fashionable Neuilly district of
Paris just west of the Arch of
Triumph. Police said if caused
considerable damage but ap-
parently no casualties.
The homb was of the type used
by right-wing extremists in past
terrorism against the De Gaulle
government, Folice noted that
Neuilly Mayor Achille Perretti is
a Gaullist deputy of the National
Assembly.
The insurgent generals bread-
cast a seven-point order of the
day proclaiming a state of siege
and saying “all resistance, from
whatever aurter, will be brok-
en.’ ‘The proclamation was a dec-
jaration of a virtual state of mar-
tial law.
State Of Siege
The insurgent army and air
force generals in Algiers an-
nounced over Algiers radio — te-
named “Rado France” -- that
they had proclaimed a state of
siege throughout the African ter-
ritory. The generals appealed te
the army, navy, air force and po-
lice to join them.
De Gaulle apparently was taken
completely by surprise, although
opposition among Frenchmen in
Algiers to his policy of permitting
Algeria eventually to become in-
dependent has been rising. But the
government reacted swiftly.
France canceled all military
leaves. De Gaulle called a cabinet
meeting to consider further action
| and conferred during the day with
|Debre and Adm. Georges Cabain-
er, chief of staff of the French
navy. Debre named Gep. Jean
Olie as new commander-in-chief

In His Second Floor Study the
Workmen Tiptoe About In-
stalling a Microphone;
There is Not Even a Radio
Set in House; One Will Be
Connected After Microphone
is Put in.
Washington, Maren «.-—(A’)--Uil-
yer Wendell Holmes, Ass0ciate Jus-
| tice of the Supreme Court, makes his
debut as a*radio speaker Sunday,
March S8—his ninetieth 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 microphone is
} put in.
The speech by the oldest man ever
to serve on 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 newspa-
permen for interviews and a series of
plans by admirers for public demon-
strations have preceded each anni-
versary.
The newspapermen get no further
than his secretary and the admirers
are always forced to bow to his pro-
nouneed distate of public eulogies.
Several times fellow members of the
court have felt a timely tribute was
due, but even a proposal to place a
vase of red roses before him on the
bench remained a proposal because
it was felt he might not like it.
There is no frigidity and little
austerity in his consistent aversion
to publicity and display.
His friends say his logical mind
can see no reason for a fanfardonade
over birthdays, His concession on his
|nineteenth anniversary is regarded
