NEW YORK ‘AP)—Two Ameri-
can correspondents of The Asso-
ciated Press at Havana are pre-
sumably under arrest today.
They are Harold K. Milks, chief
of the AP's Caribbean services,
and Robert Berrellez. Both have
been assigned to Cuba since 1959.
There have been various reports
since Monday that Berrellez was
in custody. For two days the best
available information indicated
Milks was free. A message
said: ‘Tell our families we are
OK.” But subsequent investigation
showed this message was sent
Tuesday.
- Telephone ommunication be-
tween the United States and
Havana was restored Thursday
night, but efforts to reach either
Milks or Berrellez failed. A man
speaking from the Havana offices
of the AP said by telephone Fri-
day night Milks and Berrellez had
been out gathering news and pic-
tures of the invasion, and were
arrested when they returned to
‘their office.

Washington, Mar., 7.—Oliver Wen-
dell Holmes, associate justice of the
supreme court, makes his debut as a
radio speaker Sunday, March 8—his
ninetieth birthday.
In his second floor study today work-
men tiptoed about installing a micro-
phone. 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 newspaper-
men for interviews and a series of
plans by admirers for public demon-
Strations have preceded each anniver-
Sary.
The newspapermen get no further
than his secretary and the admirers
are always forced to bow to his pro-
nounced distaste 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 @ proposal because it
Was felt he might not like it,
There is no frigidity and little aus-
terity in hts consistent aversion to
publicity and display. Court members
in getting to the bottom of cases be-
fore them often ask counsel -penetrat-
ing and sharp questions, Many a law-
yer retains an affecionate memory of
Justice Holmes as he leaned forward
with a friendly smile and helped the
barrister out of a legal morass with a
suggestion.
His friends say his logical mind can
see no reason for a fanfaronade over
birthdays. His concession on his
ninetieth anniversary is regarded as
reluctant yielding to the desire of sin-
cere friends to honor him.
The day, however, will be anything
but a succession of hand shakes and
huzzas. He plans to remain at home
throughout. The radio program in
his honor begins at 9:30 ‘
m. (Atchison time) Sunday night.
Dean Charles E. Clark of the Yale law
school, from the studios of the Colum-
‘bia Broadcasting system in New York,
will introduce Chief Justice Hughes.
The chief justice will speak from the
Washington studio of the system, five
minutes beginning as 9:55 having

ROGA (AP) — Skylab’s astro-
nauts came safely home from
man’s longest space journey to-
day, splashing down with pin-
point precision in the Pacific
Ocean after 28 days and 11 mil-
lion miles in orbit.
Just 39 minutes after touch-
down, 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. Ev-
erything’s OK,” commander
Conrad radioed as the space-
craft descended through the
clouds and landed within view
of USS Ticonderoga, just 6%
miles away. That indicated the
astronauts had suffered no ad-
verse physical reactions on re-
turning to earth’s gravity after
a record four weeks’ exposure
to space weightlessness.
Ten minutes later they
climbed through the hatch,
smiled and waved as the ship’s
band played ‘‘Anchors Aweigh’’
for the all-Navy Skylab crew.
They walked unsteadily to-
ward a mobile medical labora-
tory, showing some effects
from the four weeks’ exposure
to weightlessness.
How well Conrad, Kerwin and
Weitz fared in the weightless
world will play a major role in
detern ining if man can fune-
tion efficiently in future long-
duration flights. The first of the
two 56-day Skylab missions is
scheduied for launch July 27.
The astronauts almost were
held over in orbit today to try
to repair a refrigeration prob-
lem 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.
The Ticonderoga reported the
astronauts had landed 642 miles
from the ship and that the ship
was 642 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 dic-
tated the pick up method today.
Medical experts were not cer-
tain 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 possibe until they
can be examined in mobile
medical laboratories aboard the
Ticonderoga.
The landing completed an
historic space mission that last-
ed 28 days and 50 minutes. Dur-
ing that time the spacemen cir-
cled the earth 205 times.
Misson Control was kept in
suspense for most of the final
76 minutes of the flight — a pe-
riod 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 min-
utes before landing.
While out of radio contact, at
9:11 a.m., 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 or-
bit and start the long glide
through the atmosphere to the
eastern Pacific.

W ASHINGTON—Wheat farm-

| London, May 10—(*)—A hotly-
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.
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
Lords after a Conservative motion |
in Commons to reject it was de-
feated 330-203. |
It authorizes the government to.
‘buy the stock of 107 companies, |
but actual direction of the com-
panies would stay in fhe hands of
the men who run them now as pri-
vate enterprises. The companies
would work under a government |
holding corporation, retaining their |
present firm names. They would.
be free to compete with one an-
other, but not to the point of clash-
Ying with the holding corporation's |
overall general plan.
Under the measure the govern-
ment would pay 300,000,000 (m)
. ($1,200,000,000) (b) 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 eae

The bill calls for government
contro! of the affected plants to
start May 1, 1950—just before next
summer’s scheduled national elec-
tions. Some well-placed sources,
say the takover may be deferred
until the elections have shown

ABOARD USS TICONDE-
ROGA (AP) -- Skylab's astro-
nauts came safely home from
man’s longest space journey to-
day, splashing down with pin-
point precision in the Pacific
Ocean after 28 days and 11 mil-
tion miles in orbit. ;
Just 39 minutes after touch-
down, 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..Ev-
erything's OK," cammander
Conrad tadioed as the space-
craft descended through the
clouds and landed within view
of USS Ticonderoga, just 6%
miles away. That indicated the
astronauts had suffered no ad-
verse physical reactions on re-
turning to earth’s gravity after
a record fur weeks’ exposure
to space weightlessness.
Ten minutes later they
climbed through the hatch,
smiled and waved as the ship’s
band played “Anchors Aweigh”
for the all-Navy Skylab crew.
‘They walked unsteadily to-
ward a mobile medical labora-
tory, showing some effects
from the four weeks’ exposure
to weightlessness.
How well Conrad, Kerwin and
Weitz fared in the weighiless
world will play a major role in
determining if man can func-
tion efficiently in future long-
duration flights. The first of the
two 56-day Skylab missions is
scheduled for launch July 27.
Misson Control was kept in
suspense for most of the final
76 minvtes of the flight — 4 pe-
riod when the Apollo ship was
out of radio contact with
ground stations.
The ‘Ticonderaga's radar
picked up the streaking craft at
a distance of 188 miles, 10 min-
utes before landing.
While out of radio contact, al
9:11 a.m., the astronauts con
ducted the critical retrorocke
burn that slowed their 17,10
mile-an-hour speed by Ik

around inspection of the sta-
tion, televising pictures of the
add-looking space vehicle ta

Then, in quick succession,
they triggered the engine fir-
ings that gradually dropped
them closer to earth from their

EDWARDS AIR FORCE BASE, Calif. (UPI)—The
X15 Friday carried Maj. Robert White to a record
3,140 miles an hour—50 miles a minute—on the first
full-power trail of an engine intended to hurl the pilot-
controlled rocket plane to the fringe of space.
Unlike the Russian cosmonaut who orbited the
earth last week, White had control of the stubby re-
search plane from the time it was dropped from a B52
bomber at 45,000 feet over the Mojave Desert.
The 36-vear-old aviator
—who admitted a series of
minor problems kept him
“quite busv’ during the
11-minute flight — reach-
ed top speed at 80,000 feet’
to break his six-week-old
record of 2,905 m.p.h.
White said after the
flight — which was the
fourth record run in a row
for the rocket plane—that:
he felt it would reach its
goal of 4,000 m.p.h. by al-
lowing the engine to burn
‘longer. He shut down the
57,000-pound thrust rocket
‘after 67 seconds Friday.

started after the drop at 45,000
feet, but then shut down. It drop-

The X15 engine, harnessing near-
ly a half-million horse power, was
at full throttle for 67 seconds on

pared with 169,600 feet — 32 miles

| 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-

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 agreement is of unlimit-

The 600-word document calls
for the countries to ‘“‘imme-

where the risk of nuclear war
is involved.
The agreement was reached
as the two leaders looked ahead
to a reunion summit in Moscow

The two leaders declared in
the agreement that they were
“conscious that nuclear war
would have devastating con-

said they wanted ‘to bring
about conditions in which the
danger of an outbreak of nucle-

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
dangerous Cuban crisis.
A White House announcement of the session — at Camp
David, Md., — emphasized Cuba as the topic for the con-
ference. But it did not rule out the prospect that Kennedy
could discuss with his predecessor a broad range of inten-
sifying cold war conflicts with the Soviet Union.
| Betore flying to Camp Da-
vid by helicopter Kennedy
rmet with the National Se-
curity Council, presumably to
discuss possible future moves
against the pro-Communist
government of Cuba in the
wake of this weck’s abortive
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 deteat
of the rebel invasion attempt
which began last weekend with
the United States’ moral support
—and, it was generally helieved
here, with some backing of U. S.
money and arms.
The President was understood
jto be concerned about what some
authorities called a failure to cal-
culate accurately im advance the
strength of Prime Minister Fidel
Casiro's mulitary reaction to the
rebel assault as well as possible
errors in intelligence.
Winte House news secretary
Pierre Salinger disclosed Friday
mght that Kennedy and Etsen-
hower would meet at Camp Da-
vid, the Catoctin Mountain re-
eat near Gettysburg, Pa., which
Eisenhower used for conferences
with foreign leaders.
The President arranged the
Juncheon session in a telephone
call to Eisenhower Friday morn-
ing The former chief executne
was at his Gettysburg farm.
Salinger said Kennedy wanted
to bring E:senhower up to date,
on the Cuban situation. helieving |
that ‘tas leader of the Republi-|
ean parity and as forme presi
dent he shauld know what the sit
uation is.”
Salinger also disclosed that
Kenneds had been in indirect con-
tact with Gov. Nelson A. Rocke
feller of New York. another Re-
fpublican leader,» and that he had
conferied Friday with Sen. Barry
Goldwater, R-Ariz.
' The contacts with Republicans
|followed Kennedy’s meeting at the
; White House Thursday with tor-
jmer Vice President Richard M.
iNixon. his Republican opponent
ifor the presidency last year.
Nixon said in New York Friday
might that he had told Kennedy
ihe would support lim “even Lo

President Kennedy meets
with former President
Dwight D. Eisenhower to-

port for critical steps which
he may consider necessary
to deal with the increasing-
ly dangerous Cuban crisis.
A White House announcement
of the session—at Camp David,

did not rule out the prospect that
Kennedy could discuss with his
wedecessor a broad range of in-
ensifying cold war conflicts with

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 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,

ing 275 miles. high and in posi-

Shortly before that flight con-

degrees down. The maneuver
was necessary to warm a fro-
zen radiator -by pointing it

ROGA (AP) — Skylab’s astro-
nauts came home safely from
man’s longest space journey to-

ziness and _ lightheadedness,
they were pronounced in ex-
cellent physical condition.
Charles Conrad Jr., Dr. Jo-
seph P. Kerwin and Paul J.
Weitz 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 the astro-
nauts had suffered some initial
effects in gravity after 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,”
Dr. Royce Hawkins, the as-
tronauts’ chief physician, con-
firmed this after consulting
with doctors on the carrier. He
told newsmen at the Houston
Space Center:
“They look quite good. They
appear far better than I ex-
pected. They’re excellent.”’
Hawkins said Conrad, a vet-
eran of three previous space
flights, was in the best condi-
tion, with normal blood pres-
sure and pulse and only slight
lightheadedness.
He said both Kerwin and
Weitz suffered from dizziness
and lightheadedness and that
Weitz’ blood pressure at first
was on the low side.
After splashdown Kerwin
blew up an inflatable suit over
the lower part of his body to
help increase blood circulation,
Hawkins said.

URUGUAIANA, Brazil (AP) —
Brazil and Argentina pledged
themselves Friday night to fight
Communist penetration in the
Western Hemisphere and backed
President Kennedy's “Alliance for
Progress’ program for Latin
America.
In a historic move, Presidents
Janio Quadros of Brazil and Ar-
turo Frondizi of Argentina also
agreed to consult each other per-
manently on all common matters
and to coordinate all their actions
within the continent. It is the first
time in history South America’s
two biggest nations have joined
in such close cooperation, one vet-
eran diplomat said. |
The leaders ended a_ two-day,
conference here by issuing four
documents: a declaration of ae
ciples, amounting to a firm stand’
against Communist penetration’
into Latin America; the conven: |
tion on friendship and permanent |
consultation; and two deciare-|
tions dealing with economic and |
cultural matters.
Meeting in this southern Brazil-
ian port across the Uruguay River
from Argentina, Quadros and
Frondizi were full of praise for
Kennedy's Latin American pro-
gram.
They said the long-sought goals:
for Latin America, is contained
in the spirit of the Bogota Charter,
“have just received their most
valuable support in the program)
of ‘Alliance for Progress’ pro-)
posed by the President of the,

An antiCastro radio broadcast
from an island off Central Amer-
ica today told twoerebel battalions
apparently fighting on Cuban soil
that help was on the way and
urged them not to surrender.
The appeal from Swan Island
was made a few hours after the
Castro government put before
Havana television cameras some
prisoners captured after last
weekend's invasion. One admitted
their mission failed and said not
many rebels had escaped. Others
said propaganda from Swan _ Is-
land and North America had mis-
led them.
The Swan Island broadcast,
monitored by the Associated
Press in Miami, Fla., also re-
peated troop movement instruc-
pen it had sent out during the
night.
It had told earlier of new small
landings made in Cuba, but no
other source confirmed this. Some
rebel sources in Miami did say,
however, that between 500 and
1,500 guerrillas were headed for
Cuba for a new invasion assault.
A dispatch from Havana de-
seribed the Cuban capital as a
city of fear and suspicion. It said
a new wave of arrests and deten-
tions reached into almost every
family. Suspects jammed swollen
jails and living conditions were
described as growing worse.

ABOARD USS TICONDE-
ROGA (AP) — Skylab's astro-
nauts came home safely today
from man’s longest space
journey and shunned stret-
chers 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. Kerwin and Paul J.
Weitz had suffered some effec-
ts 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-millionmile journey:
“We're all in good shape.
Everything’s OK."”
They splashed down right on
target, just 62 miles from the
Ticonderoga.
Thirty-nine minutes later,
still inside the Apollo, they
were on the carrier deck.
Doetors, not knowing how
they might react to earth’s
gravity after their long weigh-
less exposure, were prepared
to 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
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 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 Ker-
win 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
physical 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 longduration 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 prob-
lem 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
atrmosphere 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 Diego. Calif. It was just
after dawn off the West Coast.
The 42,000-ton Ticonderoga
quickly sleamed 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 aride tothe hangar deck.
Hundreds of white-clad sail-
ors on deck and millions wat-
ching 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. Frog-
men immediately leaped from
helicopters (o secure the
spacecraft with flotation
collars.
The Ticonderoga reported
the astronauts had landed 61%
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 dic-
tated the pick up method

Medical experts were not
certain how the astronauts
wocld react after 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 mobilet
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 pe-
ried 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.

| ABOARD USS TICONDEROGA
(AP) — Skylab’s astronauts
came home safely today from
man’s longest space journey
and shunned stretchers to walk
fered some effects from a
the deck of this recovery car-
rier.
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 soms effects from a
record four weeks’ exposure to
space weightlessness.
But Commander Conrad
reported 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 6% 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 weight-
less exposure, were prepared to
lift them out on litters.
But, after consultation with
doctors, Kerwin, a physician,
said they could walk to the med-
ical trailer where they began six
hours of extensive medical
debriefing.
They merged 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 Mis-
sion 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 ma-
‘neuvers that sent them slam-
ming into the atmosphere above
‘Thialand for the fiery descent.
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.

| ABOARD USS TICONDEROGA
(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.
“We're all in good shape,”’
Commander Charles Conrad Jr.
reported as the spacecraft de-
scended. “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
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 atmos-
phere above Thailand for a fiery
descent.
The Apollo craft hit the calm
Pacific waters at 9:50 a.m. EDT
about 830 miles southwest of San
Diego, Calif., within sight of the
main recovery ship, the USS
Ticonderoga. It was just after dawn
off the West Coast.
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-
a 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
lea from helicopters to secure
the spacecraft with flotation collars.
The Ticonderoga reported the
astronauts had landed 6'2 miles
from the ship and that the ship was
6'» miles from the target point,
indicating a perfect touchdown.
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
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-foot-long 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 as-
tronauts made a 45-minute fly-
around 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 mag er ped them closer to
earth from ir —— orbital
altitude of 275 miles
To get the astronauts to medical
trailers on board as ow a as
possible after landing,
was to steam to the — capsule
and hoist it on deck with a crane. In
earlier U.S. manned space flights,
the astronauts were plucked by
helicopter from their floating
spaceships.
Speed in retrieving the astronauts
is essential because doctors are
keenly interested in their initial
reaction to earth gravity after four
weeks’ exposure to weightlessness.
“In general, the three crewmen
are in good health,’’ said Dr. Royce
Hawkins, the astronauts’ chief
physician, Thursday. ‘‘The re-entry
stress and reintroduction to gravity
is the critical period in question
now.”
Testing just how well man can
withstand the deconditioning effects
of living for long periods in space is
one of the main objectives of the
Skylab program.
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, continuing the medical, earth
resources, solar astronomy, space
manufacturing and other ex-
periments started by the first crew.
Like vacationers closing a sum-
mer house, Conrad, Kerwin and
Weitz on Thursday cleaned up the
ce 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.
The Golden Triangle will revel
in very pleasant weekend
weather, according to the latest
forecasts. See page 8.

ALGIERS ® — A military jun-
ta of retired generals backed by
tough paratroops seized power in
Algiers in defiance of President
Charles de Gaulle today and
claimed control over the vast ter-
ritory. |
The bloodless coup was carried
out between midnight and dawn.
It sent a chill running through
metropolitan France and caused
‘consternation in Tunisia where
the Algerian nationalists who
have been in revolt against
France for almost seven years
‘were preparing Yor peace talks.
Not Clear
It was not immediately clear
how tight a hold the insurgents
had on Algeria and De Gaulle
sent one of his top lieutenants,
Algerian Affairs Minister Louis
Joxe, by jet plane from Paris to
find out.
The insurgent leaders took over
the government buildings of Al-
giers and in a broadcast over’ Al-
giers Radio claimed leadership
over all of Algeria and the Sa-
hara.
Although the rebels led by Gen.
Maurice Challe, former French
/ commander in chief in Algeria,
claimed to control the whole
territory this was disputed by the
: ‘De Gaulle government in Paris.
‘It said loyal soldiers were in con-
trol outside the City of Algiers.
Undisciplined
Premier Michel Debre said the
‘rising was “a premeditated and
undisciplined act’ by retired gen-
‘erals. He said they had seized
the government buildings in Al-
giers but “in all the rest of the
territory the situation is normal
‘in every respect. The government
is taking all necessary measures
to insure that foree rests with the
law.”

troop Gen, Raoul Salan, who
played a prominent role in the
1958 rising in Algeria that brought
De Gaulle back to power.
- Salan recently has exiled him-
self in Spain. It was not believed
that he had arrived on Algerian
soil but he was expected momen-
tarily.

Radio said, ‘‘the individuals hav-
ing participated directly in the
attempt to abandon Algeria and
‘the Sahara will be placed under

itary tribunal.”
State of Seige
| The radio declared a “‘state of
seige’ in Algeria but promised
‘that all “fundamental liberties
and guarantees assured by the
‘constitution are entirely main-
tained.”
The first reaction among Furo-
-peans in the city was one of ela-
tion. Cars streamed through the
streets blasting their horns in the
three-two cadence that means
“Algerie, Francaise (Algeria is
French).
How many troops were involved
in the sudden coup was unknown.
Nor was it clear yet whether the
army claim to control of all Al-
feria was true. |
There's No Violence |
There was no violence in the
pre-dawn military rising, :
The rebel communique broad-
cast by Algiers Radio offered the
nationalist Moslems who have
been in revolt against France for
almost seven years ‘“‘a French
peace in the French community.”
_ The streets of Algiers were re-
portedly quiet as day broke and
there was no sign of violence.
Prime Minister Debre hastened
to the office of De Gaulle for con-
ferences on the rising in Algeria.

At least 2,000 and perhaps as
many as 6,000 troops of the For-
eign Legion's Ist Paratroop Regi-
ment were said to be involved in
the seizure of Algiers. The rebels
also claimed the support of troops
it southeastern Algeria.
In Paris, however, Information
Minister Louis Terrenoire said the
insurgents controlled only Algiers.
He said the generals commanding
{he garrisons of Oran and Con-
stantine, Algeria’s other principal
cities, were loyal to De Gaulle.
Communications Cut
UPI’s Algiers correspondent
Alan Raymond telephoned Paris
just before the government cut
off communications with Algiers.
He said paratroops seized the
official residence of Delegate Gen
eral. Jean Morin, De Gaulle’:
chief civilian representative in Al.
geria,
Morin was taken prisoner, along
with Public Works Minister Rob:
ert Buron, who had just arrived
from France, and Gen. Fernanc
Gambiez, the French military
commander in Algeria,
Raymond said Algiers was calrr
early today, with Europeans and
Arabs going about their busines:
as usual. The only sign that any
thing had happened was the un
usual number of troops in the
streets.
The French government cut of
all communications and haltec
sea and air travel betweer
France and Algeria in an effort t
isolate the rebels.
The communications ministrs
ordered all post office and tele
graph employes in Algeria to stoy
work, It was not immediately cer

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.

| MOSCOW (UPI)—Premier Nikita S. Khrushchev warned
President Kennedy today that an American attack on Cuba
might be followed by a Soviet attack against U.S. foreign bases
which he said threaten Russia's security.
Khrushchev said he had incontrovertible proof the United
States prepared the invasion of Cuba and said, ‘Mr. President,
you are adopting a very dangerous path. Ponder that.”
He said Kennedy had displayed a morality of gangsterism
toward Cuba. He said he had proof the United States prepared.
financed, armed and transported the ‘“‘mercenary bands’ which
invaded Cuba. -
(The White House had no immediate comment on the Khrush-
chev message.)
He said the colonial svstem is crumbling and becoming a
thing of the past and “‘for its part the Soviet Union is doing
evervthine to exnedite the nracece ”’
“And of that we are proud!’’ Khrushchev said.
Khrushchev said the United States started on the road to
plunder when it seized Formosa and that now the United States
threatens @mr in case (Communist) China takes steps for a re-
union with Taiwan.
“This is being done by a nation which has officially recog-
nized that Taiwan belongs to China,’’ Khrushchev said.
He referred to Kennedy's views that Soviet rocket bases
might be established on Cuban soil and said Kennedy had im-
plied the United States had the right to attack Cuba under some
kind of obligation to defend the Western Hemisphere from ‘'ex-
ternal aggression.”
“We for our part do not hold such views,”’ he said.
Khrushchev’s statement was made in a note handed today
to U.S. Charge D’Affaires E. L. Freers in Moscow in reply
to a Kennedy letter of April 18. The text was released by the
Tace news agency.
Khrushchev said the attack on Cuba was “a crime which
has revolted the entire world.”
“This is a case of an attempt on the part of the United
States government to reestablish in Cuba such a kind of ‘free-
dom’ under which the country would dahce to the tune of its
more powerful neighbor and foreign monopolies would again
be ably to plunder the natural wealth of Cuba, to fatten on the
sweat and blood of the Cuban people,”’ he said,
“Our government seeks no advantages or privileges in
Cuba,”’ Khrushchev said. “‘We have no bases in Cuba, nor do
we intend to establish them.”
He said the colonial system was crumbling and referred
to the American support of Chinese Nationalist President Chiang
Kai-shek.
“You may, of course, express your sympathies for the im-
perialist and colonialist countries, and this will not surprise
anyone,’ Khrushchev said.
“For instance, vou vote with them in the United Nations.
This is a matter of vour morality. But what has been done
against Cuba is no longer morality. This is gangsterism.”
He said the United Nations must strongly denounce the
bandit actions against Cuba—‘‘a crime which has revolted the
entire world.”
Khrushchev referred to Kennedy's statement that Cuba
might lend its territory for actions against the United States
and said, “This assumption is entirely unwarranted.”
“It is a fact that in some countries bordering on the Soviet
Union the governments . . . have made their territory avail-
able for the location of American military bases which are
obviously directed against the Soviet Union,’’ he said.
“If the American government considers itself entitled to
take such measures against Cuba as it has been resorting to
of late, the U.S, President must recognize that other countries
have no lesser reasons to act in a similar way with regard to
states on whose territory preparations are indeed being made
which constitute a threat to the security of the Soviet Union.”

Kennedy meets with fcrmer
President Eisenhower today in
an evident bid to rally strong na-
tional support for critical steps
which he may consider neces-
‘sary to deal with the increasing-
ly dangerous Cuban crisis.
A White House announcement
of the session — at Camp David,
Md. — emphasized Cuba as the
topic for the conference.
Before flying to Camp David

presumably to discuss possible
future moves against the pro-
Communist government of Cuba.
In the midst of these develop-

ed to have ordered a thorough
study of reasons for the defeat
of the rebel invasion attempt.
The President was understood
to be concerned about what some
authorities called a failure to
calculate accurately in advance
the strength of Prime Minister
Fidel Castro’s military reaction
to the rebel assault as well as
possible errors in intelligence.
It also was disclosed that Ken-

generals supported by Foreign
Legion paratroopers seized Al-
giers in a bloodless coup today
and announced they had taken
over Algeria and the Sahara Des-
ert from President Charles de

Bombs exploded in Paris in the
town hall of the Neuilly District
and at suburban Courbevoie north-
west of Paris, Heavy damage was
reported in the first explosion.
Premier Michel Debre appeal-
ed on a nationwide radio and tele-
vision hookup for “absolute obe-
dience’”’ to President de Gaulle.
Promise
A rebel broadcast said the gen-
erals in Algiers were upholding
the promise to “Keep Algeria

* May 13, 1958, at the height of the
Algiers uprising that wrecked
France’s Fourth Republic and re-
turned Gen. de Gaulle to power.
At least 2,000 and perhaps as
many as 6,000 troops of the For-
eign Legion's 1st Paratroop Regi-
ment were said to be involved in
the seizure of Algiers. The rebels
also claimed the support of troops
in southeastern Algeria.
A communique signed by Gen.

Gen. Zeller charged in a broad
cast from Algiers that the d

WASHINGTON (# — The govern-
ment said Friday it has begun
producing weapons whose design
is based on the spectacular 1954
hydrogen bomb tests in the Pa-
cific, and hinted these are of sev-
eral types.
It said also that the prospects
for developing an airplane driven
by an atomic power plant have
“considerably brightened’’ in the
last six months.
The Atomic Energy Commission,
which made these disclosures, was
as close-mouthed as usual in it:
18th semiannual report to Con
gress. The report covered the firs
half of this year.
Improvement
| The commission said that all o
its activities—which include pro
duction of conventional and thermo
nuclear weapons—continued dur
ing this period “‘at a growing rate
and with increasing effectiveness.’
Some scientists have speculatec
that one device tested in the
AEC’s “Operation Castle” at it:
Pacific proving grounds in_ the
spring of last year may have been
ja “hydrogen-uranium bomb.”
‘That would be a thermonuclear
weapon with an A-bomb to trig-
ger a hydrogen fusion bomb, it-
‘self encased in a jacket of uran-
‘ium pretty much as it occurs in
‘nature.
The theory is that such a weap-
‘on would produce much more ra-
‘|dioactivity than even an H-bomb
liwith its deadly clouds capable of
‘covering a 7,000-square-mile-area.
;} There was nothing in the AEC’s
‘report to support this speculation.
The report spoke of the diffi-
culties which must be conquered
in developing a nuclear-powered
airplane. These include the pre-
sumably heavy shielding that
would be required to protect the
crew, and the need for greater
power in relation to the weight of
the engine.
Accelerated
But it added that during the past
six months the aircraft propulsion
project ‘‘aecelerated, with the
promise of nuclear-powered flight
considerably brightened.”’
Other points in the report in-
cluded these:
In general, the program for de-
veloping reactors for civilian use
and to drive submarines and ships
“made greater strides... than in
any earlier half year.”
Current experiments justify “a
certain measure of optimism, not
possible a few years ago, on the
possibility of protection against
and recovery from radiation’ al-
though ‘‘vital problems... are still
unsolved.”’

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 soms effects from a
record four weeks’ exposure to
space weightlessness.
But Commander Conrad
reported 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 6% 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 weight-
less exposure, were prepared to
lift them out on litters.
But, after consultation with
doctors, Kerwin, a physician,
said they could walk to the med-
ical trailer where they began six
hours of extensive medical
debriefing.
They merged 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 Mis-
sion Control decided there was
nothing the astronauts could do

Ten minutes behind schedule,
Conrad, Kerwin and Weitz
undocked their Apollo ferry ship

The President arranged the

Salinger said Kennedy wanted
to bring Eisenhower up to date

that “as leader of the Repuhil-

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-

publican leader, and that he jad
conferred Friday with Sen. Barry
Goldwater, R-Ariz.
The contacts with Republicans
followed Kennedy's meeting at the

mer Vice President Richard M.

Nixon said in New York Friday
night that he had told Kennedy
he would support him “even te

in such a move if Kennedy con-
sidered it necessary to ‘stop the
buildup of the Communist beach-
head in Cuba.”

radioed as the spacecraft descended.
Ten minutes later they climbed
through the hatch, smiled and waved
as the ship's band played ‘Anchors
Aweigh’ for the all-Navy Skylab
crew.
They walked unsteadily toward a
mobile medical laboratory, showing
some effects from the four weeks’
exposure to weightlessness.
How well thev fared in the weight-
less world will determine if man can
function efficiently in future long-

The astronauts almostwere 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 executed
a series of maneuvers that sent them
slamming into the atmosphere above

The Apollo craft under three huge
parachutes hit the calm blue waters
at 8:50 a.m. Waukesha time about
830 miles southwest of San Diego,

The 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.
Hundreds of white-clad sailors on
deck and millions watching televi-
sion around the world again had a
ringside seat to a U.S. man-in-space
landing.
The Ticonderoga reported the as-
tronauts had landed 6'2» miles from

dicating a perfect touchdown.
The landing completed an historic
space mission that lasted 28 days

PARIS —Pl— Four rebel French
generals supported by Foreign Le-
gion paratroopers seized Algiers in
a bloodless coup today and an-
nounced they had taken over Al-
geria and the Sahara desert from
President Charles de Gaulle’s gov-
ernment.
Premier Michel Debre went on @
nationwide . radio and _ television
hookup to appeal for “absolute obed-
ience” in France but already minor
right-wing violence was reported in
France itself.
A bomb exploded in a telephone
booth of the town hall of the fash-
ionable Neuilly district of Paris just
west of the Arch of Triumph. Police
said it caused considerable damage
but apparently no casualties.
The bomb was of the type used
by right-wing extremists in past
terrorism against the De Gaulle
government. Police noted that Neu-
ily Mayor Achille Perretti is a
Gaullist deputy of the National As-
sembly.
The insurgent generals broadcast
a seven-point order of the day pro-
claiming a state of siege and saying
“all resistance, from whatever quar-
ter, will be broken”. The proclama-
tion was a declaration of a virtual
state of martial law.
The insurgent army and air force
generals in Algiers announced over
Algiers radio—renamed “Radio
France”—that they had proclaimed
a state of siege throughout the Afri-
can territory. The generals appealed
to the army, navy, air force and po-
lice to join them.
De Gaulle apparently was taken
completely by ‘surprise, although
opposition among Frenchmen in Al-
giers to his policy of permitting Al-
geria eventually to become inde-
pendent 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 Cabainer,
chief of staff of the French navy,

Fire and water damage of sever-
al thousand dollars was incurred
vesterday afternoon at the home of
Mrs. Lois Youse, 13 Corwin St.,
Fire Chief Bill Lohman reported.
Firemen who responded to the
alarm, fought a stubborn blaze for
more than two hours. The fire ap-
parently started in a clothes chute
and was mainly confined to the
attic of the two-and-a-half storied
building, the Chief reported.
Water and smoke damage to the
first two floors was considerable.
Mrs. Youse could not account for
the cause of the blaze. She told the
Fire Chief that a few minutes prior
to the discovery of the fire she had
thrown some rags down the chute.
Although the rags earlier were
about to be burned by ‘Mrs. Youse
as she prepared to ignite the con-
tents in an outdoor rubbish burner,
she said they were not afire or
smoking when she removed them.
Mrs. Youse told the Chief she put
the rags in her waste basket and
carried them into the house and
that it was a minute or two before
she threw them down the chute.
Earlier yesterday firemen were
called to 131 Benedict where a
steaming roof was mistaken fo!

WASHINGTON, March 7 (AP)
—Oliver Wendell Holmes, asso-
ciate justice of the supreme court,
makes his debut as a radio speak-
er Sunday, March 8—his ninetieth
birthday.
In his second floor study work-
men 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 pp@¥e 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 interviews and
a series of plans by admirers for
public demonstrations have _ pre-
ceded each anniversary.
His friends say his logical mind
can see no reason for a fanfaron-
ade over birthdays. His concession
on his ninetieth anniversary is re-
garded as reluctant yielding to the
desire of sincere friends to honor
him.
The radio program in his honor
begins at 10:30 ». m. E. S. T. Sun-
day night. Dean Charles E. Clark
of the Yale law school, from the
studios of the Columbia Broad-
casting system in New York, will
introduce Chief Justice Hughes.
The Chief Justice will speak from

tem. ;

Falk kneeling in prayer on the
floor of a front room. Nearby his

ly.
Upstairs, in a bedroom, police
found the body of Eldred Falk, 22,
his head almost severed from the
body by a shotgun bullets.
A disconnected story as told by
Falk, his wife and daughter, was
that a dispute arose between father
and son during which the youth an-
nounced he was going to leave the
house.
“You'll only leave here dead,”
was what police say Falk senior re-
plied.
The son then dared his father to
shoot, accordins to the story told

WASHINGTON (AP) — Leaders of the world’s superpowers
signed at the summit today an agreement pledging to diffuse the
risks of nuclear war by avoiding military confrontations between
nations.
“A truly historic ceremony,” said Soviet Communist Party
Secretary Leonid I. Brezhnev after he and President Nixon sign-
ed the agreemen: 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, Brezhnev
looked ahead to a reunion summit in 1974 in Moscow. He said he
believed this and other future meetings ‘would consolidate still
further and deepen’’ the advances made in the joint effort to free
the world of the fear of nuclear war
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 ryclear war
anywhere in the world would be reduced and ultimately
eliminated.”’
They pledged their countries to ‘‘act in such a way as to pre-
vent 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 ther and between either of the parties and other coun-
tries.”’
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 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 Sovietyinvasion of Czechoslovakia. p

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 controllers 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% miles
from the target point, in-
dicating a. perfect touch-
down.
The Ticonderoga steamed
_topick 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 kep'
in suspense for most of the
final 76 minutes of the flight
— a period when the Apollc
ship was out of radio contact
with ground stations.
The Ticonderoga’s radar
picked up the streaking
craft at a distance of 18
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.

ABOARD USS_ TICON-
DEROGA (UPI) — _ Skylab’s
astronauts landed on target in the
Pacific Ocean today and reported
they were in “super shape” after a
fiery, strenuous return to earth from
a record 28 days in space.
It was a flawless end to a mission
that started with a failure, and the
flight took a major step toward
giving man a place in space.
Charles ‘‘Pete’’ Conrad, Joseph P.
Kerwin and Paul J. Weitz came back
in the Apollo command ship they took
off in four weeks ago. Their space
station remained in orbit, ready for
its next crew in five weeks.
Recovery forces and controllers
back at Houston’s mission control
waited 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 canopies
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.
“Ei verybody’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
Ticonderoga was 6'2 miles downwind
at the time.
The aircraft carrier moved 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 tume 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 as little exertion as
possible.
The cone-shaped capsule was
placed on an elevator deck, 25 feet
above the water, at 10:28 a.m., a fast
38 minutes after splashdown.
“We've all got our seat belts
fastened so hoist us right up,’’ said
Conrad, a Navy captair, as the line
was hooked to a loop at the top of the
command ship.
Before leaving the spacecraft.
Kerwin, America’s first space
physician, took his own and then the
pulse rate and blood pressure of his
colleagues ta determine how their
bodies were withstanding the rigors
of gravity after going without it for
four weeks.
Before the Apollo hatch was
opened, technicians attached plugs
and fuel vent lines to the control
rocket nozzles.
Kerwin briefed Dr. Charles Ross,
the Skylab flight surgeon, on the
pilots’ condition before the hatch was
opened.
Doctors had feared that blood
would rush to the pilots’ legs as they
stood because of a temporary
weakened condition of the circulatory

ADVAN USS LICONDE-
ROGA (AP) — Skylab’s astro-
nauts came home safely from
man’s longest space journey to-
day and despite some early diz-
ziness and _ lightheadedness,
they were pronounced in ex-
cellent physical conditon.
Charles Conrad Jr., Dr. Jo-
seph P. Kerwin and Paul J.
Weitz shunned stretchers to
walk somewhat — unsteadily
across the deck of this recovery
carrier.
The wobbly 60 steps from the
Apollo ferry ship to a medical
laboratory indicated the astro-
nauts had suffered some initial
effects in gravity after 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.”
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
to 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’e 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 anc
Weitz fared in the weightless
world will play a major role in
determining if man can func:
tion 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 prob-
lem 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

Russia started lifting its blockade of Berlin 40 hours ahead
of schedule today by restoring electrical power to parts of the
western sectors.
Radios played and the stoves went on again as American
and allied housewives started cooking with unrationed elece
tricity for the first time since last July 9.
Restoration of full service will be completed Thursdsy,
when the Russians will lift their restrictions on traffic and
Britain, France and the United States, in turn, will call off
their counter-blockade of the Soviet zone.
At one minute after midnight Thursday ailied: trains
daily will begin to roll into Berlin. Earges also were stands
ing by prepared to resume river traffic. _
Restoration of power was started 40 hours before the of+
ficial time set for ending the blockade—12:01 a. m. Thursday
{4:01 P.M. CST Wednesday}.
Western authorities meanwhile
instrected Lord Mayor Ernst Reus
ter to lift Allied counter-blockada
measures against ihe Soviet zone al
the same time. .
At that minute the first of 16 Al.
‘lied trains a day will begin to roll
into Berlin for the first time since
the Russians cut off all surface
transportation 11 months ago.
The number of trains a day wags
set under an order by Gen. Vassily
|C. Chuikov, new Soviet military
commander, providing that traffic
regulations between the East and
West zones return to the status of
Mareh J, 1948.
The 14 trains will eupply the
Western scctors with about 10,000
tons a day. somewhat less than the
Anglo-American airlift achieved at
its highest point.
Remove Rall Restrictions
| All freight and passengers on
lthe trains will be passed without
| yestriction. However. the Russians
l will retain the privilege of licens-
ing freight shipments going west~
ward out of Berlin.
The Western mark, however, stilt
twill be banned in the Soviet zone
“pending the dec’ A on the ques-

The four-lane superhighway to

ibe opened at the same time as the
rail line.
Meanwhile, the Allied airlift con-
tinued. Four crewmen were injured
seriously when a British airlift

NEW YORK (AP) — The
Cuban revolutionary council
says MIG aircraft and Soviet
tanks were responsible for
the losses suffered by its
forces on Cuba’s beaches — a
reversal it*refused to call a
defeat.
“It is a setback,” said coun-
cil leader Jose Miro Cardona,
who displayed tears at times
during a news conference
Friday.
He read in firm, solemn
tones a prepared statement
in which the council declared,
“MIG aircraft and Soviet
tanks have inflicted a grave
reverse to Cuba’s cause.”
But he added “the majority
of those who landed are act-
ually fighting. It was one
more of many landings that
have taken place and will
continue to take place.”
| NEW YORK (AP)—The Cuban
revolutionary council says MIG
aircraft and Soviet tanks were re-
sponsible for the losses suffered
by its forces on Cuba’s beaches—
a reversal it refused to call a
defeat.
“It is a setback,” said council
leader Jose Miro Cardona, who
displayed tears at times during
a news conference Friday.
He read in firm, solemn tones

the council declared, “MIG air-
eraft and Soviet tanks have in-

- But he added “the majority of

many landings that have taken
place and will continue to take
place.
“This dramatic episode of total
war, peg against our peo-
ple by the Soviet empire, neces-
sarily was played out under dis-
advantageous conditions that im-
peded proper coordination be-
tween the forces inside the coun-
try and those that returned to the
fatherland.”
| Miro Cardona repudiated ‘“‘most
emphatically the intervention car-
ried on by the Soviet Union in
Cuba through its agents, its tanks,
its airplanes and its ‘techni-
cians.’ ”
Miro Cardona, whose son and
those of two other council aides
were among those taken captive
by the forces of Cuban Prime
Minister Fidel Castro, appealed
for an end to executions on the
island.
He said he had cabled Pope
John XXIII, urging him to inter-
cede through the International
Red Cross to bring a halt to the
Castro firing squads.
Similar appeals were sent to
the United Nations and to the
presidents of 11 South and Cen-
tral American nations, he said.
The thick-set leader and his top
aides dropped out of sight after
last weekend’s Cuban land-
Wednesday in Washington for
talks with President Kennedy.
It was speculated that Miro
Cardona and some of the leaders
may have been with the revolu-
ti forces right up to the time
they landed in Cuba.

about 830 miles southwest of

The 42,000-ton Ticonderoga
quickly steamed alongside the
three-ton Apollo and tossed a
line to frogmen in the water, A

for a ride to the hanger deck,
Hundreds of white-clad sail-

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,
The Ticonderoga reported the
astronauts had landed 6 1/2
miles from the shipand that the
ship was 6 1/2 miles from the
target point, indicating a per-
fect touchdown,
The Ticonderoga steamed to
pick up the Apollo capsule with
the astronauts still inside, in
contrast to most earlier US,
flights when the spacemen were
lifted to the carrier by heli-
copter.
Medical requirements dictat-
ed the pick up method today,
Medical experts were not cer-
tain how the astronauts would
react after returning toearth’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 mobil me-
dical laboratories aboard the

The landing completed an hiv-
toric space mission that last-
ed 28 days and 50 minutes, Dur-

cled 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 retro-
rocket 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 pro-
blem that caused the 10-minute
delay in the astronauts’ depar-
ture from the orbiting labora-
tory.
‘‘We’re free,’? Conrad re-
ported seconds after the control
center flashed the go-ahead for
undocking from the 118-foot-
long laboratory.
They left behind a space sta-
tion 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 as-
tronauts made a 45-minute fly-
around inspection of the sta-
tion, televising pictures of the
odd-looking space vehicle to
mission control for evaluation
by experts,
Then, in quick succession,

| —Soviet Premier Khrushchev
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
mercenary bands which in-
vaded Cuba,” Khrushchev
said in a message to President
Kennedy, handed to E, lL
Freers, U.S. charge d'affaires.
Khrushchev was replying to a
‘communication several days ago
from Kennedy,

viet news agency, the Khrushchev

‘Statement that rockets that might
be used against the United States
could be stationed in Cuba, with
the inference that this posed prob-
lems for the United States in re-
lation to the whole western hemis-
phere.
“Mr. President, you are follow-
ing a very dangerous path,’’ Khru-
shchev said. ‘‘Ponder 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 recog-
nized that Taiwan (Formosa) be-
longs to China,’’ Khrushchev said.
The premier continued:
“You may, of course, express
your sympathies for the imperialist
and colonialist countries, and this
will not surprise anyone. For in-
stance, you vote with them in the
United Nations.
“This is a matter of your moral-
ity. But what has been done
against Cuba is no longer moral-
ity, This is gangsterism.”’
Khrushchev said the United Na-
tions must denounce these ac-
tions.

“Everybody’s in super shape,’’ said
Conrad, the veteran commander of

The ship reported the astronauts
landed precisely on target, 843 miles

The aircraft carrier moved quickly to
the side of the bobbing, scorched
spacecraft and hoisted it aboard, using
a single nylon rope 15 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
as little exertion as possible.
The cone-shaped capsule was placed
on an elevator deck, 25 feet above the
water, at 10:28 a.m., a fast 38 minutes
after splashdown.
‘“‘We’ve all got our seat belts fastened
so hoist us right up,”’ said Conrad, a
Navy captain, as the line was hooked to
a loop at the top of the command ship.
Before leaving the spacecraft, Ker-
win, America’s first space physician,
took his own and then the pulse rate and
blood pressure of his colleagues to

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. Everything’s
OK,’’ commander Conrad radioed as the
spacecraft descended through the clouds
and landed within view of USS Ticon-
deroga, just 64% miles away. That in-
dicated the astronauts had suffered no
adverse physical reactions on returning
to earth’s gravity after a record four
weeks’ exposure to space weightlessness.
Ten minutes later they climbed
through the hatch, smiled and waved as
the ship’s band played ‘‘Anchors
Aweigh” for the all-Navy Skylab crew.
They walked unsteadily toward a
mobile medical laboratory, showing
some effects from the four weeks’ ex-
posure to weightlessness.
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 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 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 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 or-
ange 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 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 return-
ing to earth’s gravity following record
exposure to space weightlessness so they
decided the astronauts should be sub-
jected 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.
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 orbit and start the long
glide through the atmosphere to the
eastern Pacific.
The refrigeration trouble caused
considerable concern. A maneuver in-
tended to correct it caused a brief
gyroscope problem that caused the 10-
minute delay in the astronauts’ depar-
ture from the orbiting laboratory.
‘“‘We’re free,’ Conrad reported seconds
after the control center flashed the go-
ahead for undocking from the 118-foot-
long 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
Mav 14.
| ABOARD USS TICONDEROGA (4) — Skylab’s
astronauts 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. 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 Ticon-
deroga, was in the prime recovery area about 830 miles
southwest of San Diego, Calif., ready to hoist the astro-
nauts aboard for a series of vital medical tests to deter-
mine how well they withstood their record exposure to
space weightlessness.

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.
ay 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 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,
resumably to discuss possible
uture 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
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. §.
money and arms,

authorities called a failure to cal-

hower would meet at Camp ci
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-
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 rty 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
Goldwater, R-Ariz.
The contacts with Republicans
followed Kennedy's meeting at the
White House Thursday with for-
mer Vice President Richard M.
Nixon, his Republican opponent
for the presidency last year.
Nixon said in New York Friday
night 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 Kennedy
in such a move if Kennedy con-
sidered it necessary to “‘stop the
buildup of the Communist beach-
head in Cuba.”
Both Kennedy and Eisenhower
arranged to fly to Camp David
by helicopter, Kennedy going di-
rectly from the White House and
Eisenhower from his farm. They
last met on inauguration day,
Jan, 20, when Kennedy took over
the reins of government.
| ABOARD USS_ TICON-
DEROGA (UPI) — _ Skylab’s
astronauts landed on target in the
Pacific Ocean today and reported
they were in “super shape” after a
fiery, strenuous return to earth from
a record 28 days in space.
It was a flawless end to a mission
that started with a failure, and the
flight took a major step toward
giving man a place in space.
Charles ‘‘Pete’’ Conrad, Joseph P.
Kerwin and Paul J. Weitz came back
in the Apollo command ship they took
off in four weeks ago. Their space
station remained in orbit, ready for
its next crew in five weeks.
Recovery forces and controllers
back at Houston’s mission control
waited 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 canopies
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.
“Ei verybody’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
Ticonderoga was 6'2 miles downwind
at the time.
The aircraft carrier moved 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 tume 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 as little exertion as
possible.
The cone-shaped capsule was
placed on an elevator deck, 25 feet
above the water, at 10:28 a.m., a fast
38 minutes after splashdown.
“We've all got our seat belts
fastened so hoist us right up,’’ said
Conrad, a Navy captair, as the line
was hooked to a loop at the top of the
command ship.
Before leaving the spacecraft.
Kerwin, America’s first space
physician, took his own and then the
pulse rate and blood pressure of his
colleagues ta determine how their
bodies were withstanding the rigors
of gravity after going without it for
four weeks.
Before the Apollo hatch was
opened, technicians attached plugs
and fuel vent lines to the control
rocket nozzles.
Kerwin briefed Dr. Charles Ross,
the Skylab flight surgeon, on the
pilots’ condition before the hatch was
opened.
Doctors had feared that blood
would rush to the pilots’ legs as they
stood because of a temporary
weakened condition of the circulatory
systems resulting from the long expo-
sure to the lack of gravity. Such blood
pooling could cause a man to pass
out.
The Apollo was lined up for its dive
into the atmosphere 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 television
camera to beam back to mission
control their parting view of the
world’s largest spaceship.
“This is quite a sight to all us guys
on the ground that haven't seen it
yet,’’ said communicator Richard
Truly in Houston.

_ WASHINGTON (AP) — A Re-
publican member of the Senate
Watergate committee says the
Nixon administration has
‘stepped on" anyone willing to
search for the truth about Water-
gate.
t
Sen. Lowell O. Weicker Jr., who
made the claim Thursday, also
said that fired White House Coun-
se] John W. Dean III should be lis-
tened to when he appears before
the panel. Dean, who has said he
discussed Watergate and a possi-
ble coverup with President Nixon,
will be the lead-off witness when
the hearings resume next week.
“I think there is a great dea! 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 inter-
viewed 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 pres-
sures that obviously must have ex-
isted 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 Com-
munist 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 will-
ing to step out and try to find out
the truth and try to tell the truth is
gonna’ get stepped on by the exec-
utive branch of government,’’ the
Connecticut senator said.
He cited Vice President Spiro T.
Agnew’s recent attack on the Wa-
tergate 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 ex-
ecutive 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 in-
formation is leaked to the media.
“T nearly despair of doing any-
thing 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.

accounts of closed-door testimony
by Dean and Watergate conspira-
tor E. Howard Hunt.

Havana was described as a
city of fear and suspicion to-
day in a dispatch from the
Cuban capital. A new wave of
arrests there reached into al-
- most every family. Suspects
jammed into swollen jails.
Living conditions were de-
scribed as growing worse.
The government radio network
said Prime Minister Fidel Castro,
unseen in public for almost a
week, was personally directing
mop-up operations in the interior
against the surviving rebel invad-
ers who are trying to overthrow
his pro-Communist regime.
A Havana television station Fri-
day night prepared the people for
big “Castro Day” victory celebra-
tions with a five-hour live inter-
view of prisoners the government
claims it captured durng the ab-
ortive invasion by Cuban exiles.
One prisoner was Jose Miro
Torres, son of the top Cuban reb-
el leader Jose Miro Cardona.
Miro Torres bit his lip and rocked
in his chair as he admitted that
his force was defeated and his
operations ended in failure.
The rebel leader’s son said on
Havana television that he had
been well treated since his cap-
ture. All his comments were in
the form of answers to his inter-
rogators.
Jose Miro Cardona appealed
from his New York headquarters
to Pope John XXIII, asking the
pontiff’s intercession to halt fir-
ing squad executions of captured
rebels. A Havana dispatch Fri-
day said the number shot had!
reached 29 in three days. ;
Some rebel sources in Miami
said between 500 and 1,500 guer-
rilas were headed for Cuba for
a new invasion assault. The anti-
Castro radio on Swan Island, off

WASHINGTON (AP) -- A Republican
member of the Senate Watergate
committee says the Nixen ad-
ministration has “stepped on”” anyone
willing to search for the truth about Wa-
tergate.
Sen. Lowell O. Weicker Jr., who made
the claim Thursday, also said that fired
White House Counse! John W. Dean III
should be listened to when he appears
before the panet. 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.
“1 think there is a great deat of
credibility to a story that be 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 om a Public
Television show, ‘Evening Edition.” He
was interviewed by Martin Agronsky.
“fs his testiroony 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 la the American people.”"
Weicker was the sole opponent of the
committee's decision io postpone Dean's
appearance for one week last Tuesday
because of the summit conferences this
week between Nixon and Scviel Com-
munist Party leader Leonid 1. Brezhnev.
“It should be clear from various
public staternents that have been. made
Uhat any institution, whether it's a
witness, anybody thal’s willing to slep
out and try to find owt 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 hait to the practice of
talking to prospective witnesses in
secret because so much supposedly
confidential information is leaked to the
media.
“4d 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 closeddoor sessions
with witnesses, which until now have
been held routinely in advance of public

Chairman Richard Ichord, DMo., said
he wants to find out why the White House
formed the ‘“‘plumbers” group that bur-
glarized the office of Daniel Ellsberg’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 scandal has hurt both parties. He
called for limits on how much candidates

EDWARDS AIR FORCE BASE,
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
spite 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.
The engine trouble came a_split
second after the X15 dropped
away from its B52 mother ship
140 miles east of here above Hid-
den Hills, Calif. ;
The engine ignited briefly, then
cut out. For the next 30 seconds,
while the XI5 fell helplessly from
45,000 feet ho 37,000 feet, White
labored frantically to get the en
gine restarted.
Finally he succeeded; The en
gine’s 57,000 pounds ‘of thrus
came-on at full throttle, drivin;
him back in his seat with a forc
three times that of norma
gravity. ‘
White zoomed to 80,000 feet, th
altitude at which he reached th
tT new speed record, then shut oi
his engine.
At $0,000 feet his pressurize
cabin sprang a feak. Instantl
and automatically, his space-typ
flying suit inflated to compensat
for -the loss of pressure in th
cabin.
“I was stil] able to functic
normally,’ White said, so he co
tinued the flight.
Momentum carried him on |
103,000 feet, close to the planne
peak for the flight.. Then can
the long glide back to base.
| EDWARDS AIN FORCE BASE,
Calif. (AP)—A test pilot coolly
describes as ‘‘just routine” a trou-
ble-plagued flight in the X15 rock-
et plane that set a new controlled
flight speed record of 3,140 miles
an hour.
Air Force Maj. Bob White
zoomed more than 50 miles a
minute to an altitude of 103,000
feet Friday, thus breaking the
old record of 2,905 m.p.h. he had
set last March 7.
‘There were tense moments dur-
ing the 11-minute flight~when the
engine quit temporarily and mo-
ments later when the swept-wing
Dart’s pressurized cabin sprang
a leak.
White later brushed aside the
miscues, saying, “We expect
some unusual things to show up
in an experimental program.”
Seconds after the X15 dropped
from its B52 mother plane at 45,-
000 feet, its rocket engine quit.
The X15 dropped 7,000 feet while
White frantically tried to re-start
the” engine. At 37,000 feet the
rocket engine’s 57,000 pounds of
thrust came on at full throttle,
slamming White back in the
cockpit seat with a force three
times that of gravity. Over the
radio came White’s unemotional:
“That was quite a boost.”
White pulled the X15 into a
climbing angle of 30 degrees and
the rocket plane shot like ‘a bullet
on its first full power run. At
80,000 feet, White had his record
and shut off the engine.
His momentum carried him still
higher. At 90,000 feet, the cabin
sprang a leak and White com-
pensated by inflating his space-
type flying suit. At 103,000 feet
the X15 reached the top of its
flight and White eased the plane’s
nose gently into a glide back to a
landing on a nearby dry lake.

WASHINGTON (AP) — The
leaders of the world’s two nu-
vlear 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 f. 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
ather 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 attywhere 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
cither of the parties and other
countries.”’ ;
Nixon and Brezhnev also
‘agreed that their countries
‘will refrain from the threat or
the use of foree 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 security.”
Ata 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 in-
vasion ot Uzecnosiovakia.
Kissinger noted, however,
that.U.S. air strikes against
Communist forces in Cambodia
were under way at the time the
agreement was being nego-
tiated and that the bombing
“was not raised as applying to
that particular situation.”
When a newsman asked
whether the agreement would
forestall any Soviet action
against China, Kissinger re-:
sponded that the accord was
“not conceived as_ protection
for any country” but added it
would “have the practical con-
sequence of applying to the sit-
uation you described.”

signing,’’ Nixon reminded
Brezhnev just before midnight

Embassy after a banquet of
caviar, borsch, Russian beef
and fish, two kinds of vodka

ALGIERS (AP)—A mili-
tary junta of retired gen-
erals backed by tough para-
troops seized power in Al-
giers in defiance of Presi-
dent Charles de Gaulle to-
day and claimed control ov-
er the vast territory.
The bloodless coup was
carried out between mid-
night and dawn.
It sent a chill running
through metropolitan
France and caused conster-
nation in Tunisia where the
Algerian nationalists who
have been in revolt against
France for almost seven
years were preparing for
peace talks.
It was not immediately clear
how tight a hold the insurgents
had on Algeria and De Gaulle
sent one of his .op lieutenants,
Algerian Affairs Minister Louis
Joxe, by jet plane from Paris to
find out.
The insurgent leaders took over
the government buildings of Al-
giers and in a broadcast over Al-
giers Radio claimed leadership
over all of Algeria and the Sa
hara.
Although the rebels led by Gen.
Maurice Challe, former French
commander in chief in Algeria
claimed to comtro; the whol
. territory this was disputed by the
‘De Gaulle government in Paris
It said loyal soldiers were in con
‘itrol outside the City of Algiers

| 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

nauts came home safely today
from man’s longest space jour-

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

But Commander Conrad re-

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 6'2 miles from the
Ticonderoga.
Thirty-nine minutes later,
still inside the Apollo, they
were on the carrier deck.

| URUGUAINA, Brazil, April
22 (*)—Brazil and Argentina
pledged themselves Friday night
to fight Communist penetration
in the Western Hemisphere and
backed President Kennedy's “Al-
liance for Progress’ program for
Latin America.
_ In a historic move, Presidents
Janio Quadros of Brazil and Ar-
turo Frondizi of Argentina also
agreed to consult each other per-
manently on all common matters
and to coordinate all their ac-
tions within the continent. It is
the first time in history South
America’s two biggest nations
have joined in such close coop-
eration, one veteran diplomat
said.
The leaders ended a two-day
conference here by issuing four
documents: a _ declaration of
principles, amounting to a firm
stand against Communist pene-
tration into Latin America; the
convention on friendship and
permanent consultantion; and
two declarations dealing with
economic and cultural matters.
Meeting in this southern Bra-
\zilian port across the Uruguay
River from Argentina, Quadros
‘and Frondizi were full of praise
for Kennedy's Latin American
‘program.

tained in the spirit of the Bogo-
ta Charter, “have just received
their most valuable support in
the program of “Alliance for

dent of the United States of

Their document suggested,
further, that Washington's plan
be augmented by Brazil's own
“Operation Pan America,” a
plan originated by former Bra-
zilian President Juscelino Kubit-
schek.
In their joint declaration of
principles, Quadros and Frondizi
pledged firm support of “Wes-

| DETROIT, May 10.—(U.P)
--Ford Motor company and
“tO officials met today to
attempt settlement of a six-
day-old strike against two
key Ford- plants that will
‘dle a total of 85,000 work-
ers by tonight.
Reopening of negotiations came
as Ford scheduled immediate shut-
‘downs of 11 assembly plants, with
the remaining eight to close by
next Monday.
Henry Ford TJ, youthtul 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,
| Walfer Reuther, president of the
UAW, asked Ford to personally
‘lead the company negotiating team.
| Ford deciined the invitation, but
' said, “we will be happy to meet
with you at 2 p.m. (EST).”
| Reuther referred ‘to a letter the
Ford president wrote to striking
workers last week, in which he said
the walkout was “unnecessary.”
“Sinee 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 op-
portunity,” Reuther said, “of being
apprised of all facts in the situa-
tion, which obviously you do not
have.
1 Ford said John Bugas, vice-pres-
ident in charge of industrial rela.
tions who led previous peace ef-
forts, would conduct company neégo-
tiations with “the full support and
backing of the ,management.”
Reuther said ‘he regretted that
the Ford president would not at
tend the meeting. He said he was
attending “even though it means ]
will be unable to take my regular
hospital treatment.”
Reuther’s right arm has been in
'a sling since an attempt was made
jon his life a year ago.
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 “health and safety” of work
ers. The company denied any speed

LONDON (PA —— Princess Mar-
garet kept her secret today about
whether she intends to marry
Group Capt. Peter Townsend.
Prime Minister Anthony Eden
avoided a formal reply to a par-
liamentary question designed to
smoke out the status of the ro-
mance,
Eden briskly answered a series
of questions leading right up to
loaded question No. 61 put by
Laborite M. P. Marcus Lipton. It
asked if the government intended
to try to repeal or amend the
Royal Marriage Act of 1772.
Eden got to No. 59, toyed with
it tantalizingly, laid aside his
loose-leaf binder, answered a few
supplementary questions on the
scope of the Defense Ministry, and
then sat down without going to
No. 61.
Something like a sigh went
through the House of Commons.
Question time already had run
past its allotted hour, so Eden was
perfectly within his rights in dodg-
ing an answer to Lipton’s query.
Townsend Calls Again
But if he had wanted to answer
the question he could have done
so easily. Adjustments in the or-
der paper—by which members ask
questions of government ministers
in Commons—are permissible.
For instance, Eden jumped from
questions 52 to question 59 just be-
‘fore he sat down. He could have
continued to No. 61, but did not.
_ Neither did he give any indica-
‘tion of making a spontaneous an-
nouncement on his own or on be-
half of Princess Margaret, who at
almost that very hour was receiv-
ing Townsend at Clarence House.
Tf he wished, Eden still could
have delivered a written answer
to Lipton’s question, but such a
written reply was not mandatory.
Townsend turned up at 2:30 p.
-m. to pay what has come to be his
almost daily call on the princess
-at her royal residence in London.
It would require special legisla-
tion if Margaret were to marry
Townsend, a divorced man.
Elizabeth, as head of the church
and defender of the faith, cannot
give her consent because Townsend
is a divorced man. The 4l-year-
old group captain was the “‘inno-
cent’ party to the divorce but the
Church of England frowns upon
the remarriage of a divorced per-
son While his former mate lives.

ABOARD USS. TICON-
DEROGA (AP) — Skylab’s as-
tronauts came safely home
from man’s longest space jour-
ney Friday, splashing down
with pinpoint precision in the
Pacific ocean after 28 days and
11 million miles in orbit.
“We're all in good shape,”
Commander Charles Conrad re-
ported as the spacecraft de-
scended. “Everything’s OK.”
The astronauts almost were
held over in orbit to try to
repair a refrigerator problem in
their space station. But mission
control decided there was noth-
ing the astronauts could do and
told them to come home.
Fiery Descent
So 10 minutes behind schedule
Conrad, Dr. Joseph Kerwin and
Paul Weitz undocked their Apol-
lo ferry ship from the station
and executed a series of maneu-
vers that sent them slamming
into the atmosphere above Thai-
land for a fiery descent.
The Apollo craft hit the calm
Pacific waters at 8:50 a.m. CDT
about 830 miles southwest of San
Diego, Calif., within sight of the
main recovery ship, the USS
Ticonderoga.
‘*Everyone’s in super
shape,’ Conrad said as the
The Ticonderoga steamed to
| pick up the Apollo capsule with
ithe astronauts still inside, in
jcontrast to most earlier U.S.
flights when the spacemen were
lifted to the carrier by heli-
‘copter.
| Medical requirements dictat-
ed the pick up method Friday.
Just 39 minutes after touch-
down, the astronauts were hoist-
ed onto the deck of this recov-
ery carrier, still inside their
‘Apollo ferry ship.
Ten minutes later they
climbed through the hatch, and
walked unsteadily toward a mo-
bile medical laboratory, show-
ing some effects from four
| weeks of weightlessness.
| On Litters
| Doctors, not knowing how
‘they might react to earth’s
gravity after their long weight-
less exposure, were prepared to
‘lift them out on litters.
But, after consultation with
doctors, Kerwin, a physician,
said they could walk to the med-
ical trailer where they began
‘six hours of extensive medical
debriefing.
The fact that they were able
to walk as well as they did
was significant. It meant the
three Americans were in bet-
ter shape after spending 28
days in space than two Rus-
sian cosmonauts were at the
end of an 18-day flight in 1970.
They had to be carried from
their spacecraft.
Kerwin and Weitz reported
some dizziness after splashdown
and Kerwin inflated a pair of
pressure pants to keep his blood
pressure from dropping to the
point where he might faint. This
