WASHINGTON, April 22 (2)
—President Kennedy today ap-
pointed Gen. Maxwell D. Taylor,
former Army Chief of Staff, to
make a special survey of U.S.
capabilities. in the field of “non-
conventional” warfare such as
guerrilla activity.
Taylor immediately went on
the job. He attended a meeting
this morning of- the National
Security Council — one of the
few sessions of that major de-
fense group since Kennedy took
office,
Pierre Salinger, White House
Press Secretary, said that “non-
conventional” warfare in this
case is not used in the usual
sense of nuclear warfare but of
tactical operations,
Salinger said Kennedy decided
within the last few days that
such a survey is necessary and
asked Taylor Friday to conduct
it.
The study clearly was inspired
by events of the past week in
Cuba,

ment was made only two hours

WASHINGTON (AP) The lead-
ers of the world’s two nuclear super-
powers pledged in a landmark
agreement today to regulate their
relations in a way to reduce the risk
of nuclear war.
President Nixon and Soviet Com-
munist party Secretary Leonid I.
Brezhnev reached the accord in the
fifth day of their summit talks and
prepared to sign it at the White
House before heading for California
where they will conclude their meet-
ings Sunday.
In addition to its application to
U.S.-Soviet relations, the agreement
applies also to the relations of either
party with other countries. In this
way, although technically bilateral,
the agreement has multilaterul im-
plications.
| MOSCOW (AP)—Soviet Premier
Nikita Khrushchev told President
Kennedy today the invasion of
Cuba is ‘“‘a crime which has re-
volted the whole world.”
“It has been established. incon-
trovertibly that it was the United
States that prepared the interven-
tion, financed, armed and trans-
ported the mercenary _ bands
which invaded Cuba,’ Khrush-
chev said in a message to Presi-
dent Kennedy, handed to FE. L.
Freers, U.S. charge d'affaires.
Khrushchev was replying to a
communication several days ago
from Kennedy.
As distributed by Tass, the Sovi-
et news agency, the Khrushchev
statement referred to a Kennedy
statement that rockets that might
be used against the United States
could be stationed in Cuba, with
the inference that this posed prob-
lems for the United States in rela-
tion to the whole Western hemi-
sphere, |
“Mr. President, you are follow-
ing a very dangerous path,”
Khrushchev said. ‘Ponder that. “g
The Soviet premier went on to.
mention the situation in the Far
East. He contended the United
States had seized Formosa, and |
said this started the United States |
*‘on the road of plunder.’ |
He said the United States
threatens war in case Communist |
China moves for unity with For- |
mosa.
“And this is being done by a/
nation which has officially recog-
nized that Taiwan (Formosa) be-
longs to China,”’ Khrushchev said, |
The premier continued:
“You may, of course, express |
your sympathies for the imperial- |
ist and colonialist countries and
this will not surprise anyone. For |
instance, you vote with them in’
the United Nations.
“This is a matter of io
morality, But what has been done |
against Cuba is no longer |
morality, Thig is gangsterism.” |
Khrushchev said the United Na-
tions must denounce these actions. |
“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 less-
er 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 So- |
viet Union,” he said.

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 Wa-
tergate.
Sen. Lowell O. Weicker Jr.,
who made the claim Thursday,
also said that fired White House
Counsel John W. Dean III
should be listened to when he
appears before the panel. Dean,
who has said he discussed
Watergate and a_ possible
coverup with President Nixon,
will be the lead-off witness when
the hearings resume next week.
“I think there is a great deal
of credibility to a story that he is
going to go ahead and tell, and I
think the committee owes it to
him to enable him to tell that
story in full view of the public,”’
Weicker said on a Public
Television show, ‘‘Evening
Edition.”” He was interviewed
by Martin Agronsky.
“Is his testimony credible? I
think it is. ‘‘Nobody’s attribut-
ing 100-per-cent credibility to
him or any other witness, but
he’s got the guts to stand out
there and that’s no small thing
when you were in his position
and had all the pressures that
obviously must have existed on
this young man at the time to
decide that you're going to step
forward and tell the story to the
American people.”
Weicker was the sole oppo-
nent of the committee’s decision
to postpone Dean’s appearance
for one week last Tuesday
because of the summit confer-
ences this week between Nixon
and Soviet Communist Party
leader Leonid I. Brezhnev.
“Tt should be clear from vari-
ous public statements that have
been made that any institution,
whether it’s a witness, anybody
that’s willing to step out and try
to find out the truth and try to
tell the truth is gonna’ get
stepped on by the executive
branch of government,’’ the
Connecticut senator said.

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 'TICON-
DEROGA (AP)—Skylab’s
astronauts came ‘safely
home from man’s longest
Space journey today
‘splashing down with pin-
point precision in the Paci-
fic Ocean after 28 days and
il million miles in orbit.
Good Shape
“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 re-
pair a refrigeration problem in
their space station, But Mission
Control decided there was noth-
ing the astronauts could de and
told them to come home.
So, 10 minutes behind sched-
ule, Conrad, Dr. Joseph P. Ker-
win and Paul J. Weitz un-
docked their Apollo ferry ship
from the station and executed a

them slamming into the atmos-
phere above Thailand for a
fiery descent.
The Apollo craft hit the calm

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 dic-
tated the pick up method today.

ABOARD USS TICONDEROGA (AP)
— Skylab’s astronauts came home safely
from man’s longest space journey today
and despite some early dizziness and
lightheadedness, they were pronounced in
excellent physical conditon.
Charles Conrad Jr.. Dr. Joseph 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 astronauts had suffered some initial
effects in gravity after 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.”’
Dr. Royce Hawkins, the astronauts’
chief physician, confirmed 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 expected. They're excellent.”’
Hawkins said Conrad, a veteran of three
previous space flights, was in the best
condition, with normal blood pressure
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.
The astronauts 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.
Doctors, not knowing how they might
react to earth's gravity after their long
weightless 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 began six
hours of extensive medical debriefing.
They emerged smiling from the hatch
and saluted as the ship's band struck up
‘Anchors Aweigh” for the all-Navy crew.
Conrad walked with hesitant steps at
first 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.

(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.
‘‘Everybody’s in super shape,’
said Conrad, the veteran
commander of America’s first
space station.
The ship reported the astronauts
landed precisely on target, 843
miles southwest of San Diego. The
Ticonderoga was 62 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
5/8 inches in diameter.
It was the first time an Apollo
had been hoisted aboard a recovery
shop 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
Kerwin, America’s first space
physician, took his own and then
the pulse rate and blood pressure
of his colleagues to 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 exposure to the lack of
gravity. Such blood pooling could
cause a man to pass out.

Twelve thousand tons of supplies
are to go into the city daily—just
about the same figure the air lift
reached on its best day.
While most of the world hailed
the end of the blockade as a Soviet
diplomatic defeat, the official So-
viet army newspaper, Taegliche
Rundschau, today called it an “un-
questionable success of the policy
of unity which was always pursued
by the Soviet Union and the pro-
gressive forces of Germany.”
The paper said that now that the
Berlin blockade was ending, “war-
mongers” would make new efforts
to split Germany-—and “claimed

ABOARD USS TICON.
DEROGA (AP) — Skylab’s as-
tronauts came home safely
from man’s longest space jour-
ney today and despite some
early dizziness and lighthea-
dedness, they were pronoucned
in excellent physical condition.
Charles Conrad Jr., Dr. Jo-
seph P. Kerwin and Paul J.
Weitz shunned stretchers to
walk somewhat unsteadily
across the deck of this recov-
ery carrier.
The wobbly 60 steps from
the Apollo ferry ship to a med-
ical laboartory indicated the
astornauts had suffered some
initial effects in gravity after
a record four weeks’ exposure
to space weightlessness.
But commander Conrad re-
ported as the Apollo parachut-
ed toward a pinpoint landing
in the Pacific after an 11-
million-mile journey: “We're
all in good shape. Evervthing’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 Houstor
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.
The astronauts 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.

The Swan Island broadcast,
monitored by The Associated
Press in Miami, Fla., also re-
peated troop movement instruc-
tions 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-
scribed 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.
The New York Times quoted a
diplomatic source in Washington
as saying Maj. Ernesto Guevara,
one of Castro’s top aides, was
seriously wounded in the head
earlier this week. The Times said
the information reached Washing-
ion from a diplomatic source in
Havana.
The diplomatic source said a
neurosurgeon was sent to a pro-
vincial hospital where Guevara al-
legedly was taken. Guevara, 32,
is Cuba’s economic czar.

tions with a five-hour live inter-
view of prisoners the government
claims it captured during the
abortive invasion by $Ouban
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
operation 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.
“Then it is not just to say that
Cuban militiamen behave like hv-
man beasts?’’ Miro Torres was
“Abs utely not,” he replied he-
fore “etameras.

“‘We thought the militia and the
army would join us.”
“That is what you were told. But
what did you find?”
“They fought us very hard and
defeated us.”
“Then you were defeated?”
Miro Torres was asked
“Yes,” he answered.
Miro Torres also responded
‘no’? when asked if any appre-
ciable number of invaders had

Washington (?)— President
Kennedy met with his top
security advisers and then
met with former President
Dwight D. Eisenhower on the
Cuban situation.
He met Eisenhower at
Camp David, the presidential
retreat in Maryland’s Catoc-
tin Mountajns.
The new President obvious-
ly wanted to rally strong na-
tional support for whatever
further steps he considers
necessary by this country.
Repercussions from this
week’s invasion of Cuba by
anti-Castro Cubans was the
prime subject for the lunch-
eon discussion, but the talks
could range also over a broad
range of intensifying cold war
conflicts with Russia.
Miscalculation?

velopments, the President was
reported io have ordered a
thorough study of reasons for
the defeat of the rebel inva.
sion attempt which began last
week-end with the U.S. moral
support ~— and, it was gener-
ally believed here, with some
backing of U.S. money and
arms.
The President was under-
stood to be concerned about
what some authorities called
a failure to calculate accurate-
ly in advance the strength of
Prime Minister Fidel Castro’s
military reaction to the rebel
assault as well as possible er-
rors in intelligence.
Kennedy also had been in
indirect contract with Gov.
Nelson Rockefeller of New
York, another Republican
leader, and conferred with
Sen. Barry Goldwater, (R-
Ariz).
Support by Nixon
The contacts with Republi.
cans followed Kennedy’s
meeting at the White House
with former Vice President
Richard Nixon, his Republi-
can opponent for the presi-
dency last year.
Nixon said in New York
that he had told Kennedy he
would support him “even to

Kennedy meets with former Pres-

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.

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.

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-
lion 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 re-
pair a refrigeration problem in
their space station. But Mission
Control decided there was noth-
ing the astronauts could do and
told them to come home.
So, 10 minutes behind sched-
ule, Conrad, Dr. Joseph P. Ker-
win and Paul J. Weitz un-
docked 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 southeast
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_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 612 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 possible until they
can be examined in mobilet
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 395 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.
The refrigeration trouble
caused considerable concern. A
maneuver intended to correct it
caused a brief gyroscope prob-
lem that caused the 10-minute
delay in the astronauts’ depar-
ture from the orbiting labora-
tory.
| ABOARD USS
TICONDEROGA (AP) —
Skylab’s astronauts came
safely home from man’s
longest space journey to-
day, 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 Jr.
reported as the spacecraft
descended. ‘‘Everything’s
OK.”
The astronauts almost
were held over in orbit to
try to repair a
refrigeration problem in
their space station. But
Mission Control decided
there was nothing the
astronauts could do and
told them to come home.
So, 10 minutes behind
schedule, Conrad, Dr.
Joseph P. Kerwin and Paul
J. Weitz undocked their
Apollo ferry ship from the
station and executed a
series of maneuvers that
sent them slamming into
the atmosphere above
Thailand for a fiery
descent.
The Apollo craft hit the
calm Pacific waters at 9:50
a.m. EDT about 830 miles
southeast 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-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 6'2 miles from
the ship and that the ship
was 6!» miles from the
target point, indicating a
perfect touchdown.
The Ticonderoga
steamed to pick up the
Apollo capsule with the
astronauts still inside, in
contrast to most earlier
U.S. flights when the
spacemen were lifted to
the carrier by helicopter.
Medical requirements
dictated the pick up
method today.
Medical experts were
not certain how the
astronauts would react
after returning to earth's
gravity following record
exposure to space
weightlessness so they
decided the astronauts
should be subjected to as
little activity as possible
until they can be examined
in mobile medical
laboratories aboard the
Ticonderoga.
The landing completed
an historic space mission
that lasted 28 days and 50
minutes. During that time
the spacemen circled the
earth 395 times.
Misson Control was kept
in suspense for most of the
final 76 minutes of the
flight — a period when the
Apollo ship was out of
radio contact with ground

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 Wa-
tergate.
Sen. Lowell O. Weicker Jr.,
who made the claim Thursday,
also said that fired White
House Counse] John W. Dean

he appears before the panel.
Dean, who has said he dis-
cussed Watergate and a pos-

“Is his testimony credible? I
think it is. Nobody’s aitribut-
ing 100-per-cent credibility to
him or any other witness, but
he’s got the guts to stand out

obviously must have existed on

Weicker was the sole oppo-
nent of the committee’s deci-
sion to postpone Dean’s appear-

ences this week between Nixon

Detroit, May (9 — (UP) —
Ford Motor cusupany and CIO of-
ficials meet today to attempt set-
tlement of a six-day-old strike
against two key Ford plants that
will idle a total of 85,000 work-
ers by tonight.
Reopening of negotiations came
as Ford seheduled immediate
shutdowns of 11 assembly lines,
with the remaining eight to close
by next. Monday.
Henry Ford II, youthful head
of the company, accepted a union
offer to reopen peace talks which
were cut short last Thursday when
62,200 United Auto Workers struck
at Ford's River Rouge and Lin-
coln-Mercury plants.
In his bid to reopen negotia-
tions, Walter Reuther, president
of the UAW, asked Ford to per-
~sonally jead the company negoti-
| ating team,
Ford declined the invitation,
| but said ‘‘we will be glad 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 “unneces-
sary.”
| "Since your letter expresses con-
Bese for the Ford workers, we
would like to suggest that you as-
sume your personal obligations to

Washingion —(UP)— The house
| veterans committee Tuesday tenta-
tively accepted a compromise bill
under which all needy 65-year-old
veterans of World wars I and Il
could qualify for monthly pensions
of $72.
Such pensions, under present reg-
ulations, are paid to needy veterans
who can show a non-service-con-
nected disability of at least 10 per-
cent. In practice, almost any 65-
year-old veteran is disabled to that
extent or more. |
The committee voted to write the
regulations into law, at the same
time wiping out the 10 percent
disability requirement.
Raise Limitation
It also agreed to raise somewhat
the income limitation that com-|
prises a test of need. And it voted
to wipe out the existing require
ment that the veteran be unem-
ployable to be eligible for the pen-|
sion.
The compromise, offered by Com-
‘mittee Chairman John E. Rankin,
is a substitute for earlier proposals
to pension all veterans, regardless
of need.
The committee rejected all
amendments proposed to the new
bill, but put off until Wednesday
a final vote on it.
The bill, in a nutshell, would
liberalize and write into law the
regulations by which the Veterans
administration has determined
what veterans are eligible for $60
or $72 monthly pensions for “total
and permanent” non-existing-con-
nected disability. :
For Men Under 55
These regulations provide $60
pensions for men under 55 who
can show a single disability rated
at least 60 percent or combined
disabilities of 70 percent. At age
55 the disability requirement is cut
to 60 percent, whether single vor
combined; at age 60 it is dropped|
to 50- percent.
At age 65 the pension goes up
to $72: the disability requirement
is cut to 10 preent. In all cases,
the income limitation is $1,000 for
single men, $2,500 for those wita

WASHINGTON (AP) — A Republican
member of the Senate Watergate
committee says the Nixon administration
has ‘‘stepped on” anyone willing to search
for the truth about Watergate.
Sen. Lowell O. Weicker Jr., who made
the claim Thursday, also said that fired
White House Counsel John W. Dean III
should be listened to when he appears
before the panel. Dean, who has said he dis-
cussed Watergate and a possible coverup
with President Nixon, will be the lead-off
witness when the hearings resume next
week.
“I think there is a great deal of
credibility to a story that he is going to go
ahead and tell, and I think the committee
owes it to him to enable him to tell that
story in full view of the public,” Weicker
said on a Public Television show,
‘Evening Edition.’ He was interviewed by
Martin Agronsky.
‘Is his testimony credible? I think it is.
“Nobody's attributing 100-per-cent
credibility to him or any other witness, but
he’s got the guts to stand out there and
that’s no small thing when you were in his
position and had all the pressures that
obviously must have existed on this young
man at the time to decide that you're going
to step forward and tell the story to the
American people.”
Weicker was the sole opponent of the
committee’s decision to postpone Dean’s
appearance for one week last Tuesday
because of the summit conferences this
week between Nixon and_ Soviet
Communist Party leader Leonid 1.
Brezhnev.
“It should be clear from various public
statements that have been made that any
institution, whether it's a witness, anybody
that’s willing to step out and try to find out
the truth ana try to tell the truth is gonna’
get stepped on by the executive branch of
government,’ the Connecticut senator
said.
He cited Vice President Spiro T. Agnew’s
recent attack on the Watergate panel as
one that ‘‘can hardly hope to find the truth
and hardly fail to muddy the waters of
justice,’ as an example of the
executive branch's efforts.
Meanwhile, the committee said it was
considering a halt to the practice of talking
to prospective witnesses in secret because
sO much — supposedly confidential
information is leaked to the media.
“T nearly despair of doing anything about
it,’ committee Vice Chairman Howard H.
Baker, R-Tenn., said Thursday. ‘It means
that the committee probably will end its
closed-door sessions with witnesses, which
until now have been held routinely in
advance of public appearances.
News stories Thursday featured
accounts of closed-door testimony by Dean
and Watergate conspirator E. Howard
Hunt.
Also Thursday, another congressional
investigation into Watergate-related
matters was announced, this one by the
House Internal Security Committee.
Chairman Richard Ichord, D-Mo., said
he wants to find out why the White House
formed the “plumbers” group that 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 Ckairman Lawrence F. O’Brien
said the scandal has hurt both parties. He
called for limits on how much candidates
may spend in their campaigns and urged
use of a new provision allowing taxpayers
to designate a dollar of their federal
income taxes to finance _ political
campaigns.

Washington,. August. 28—(AP)—
What will the Senate do is the ques-
tion which interests Washing) on,
now that the Kellogg-Briand peace
treaty has been signed.
The answer to it at this time is
that there appears to be no reason
why the pact should not be ratified
promptly but this view is qualified
by the admonition that many things
can happen in international and do-
mestic affairs before next winter to
change the current outlook.
Fortified by an undeniable public
will toward international pacts that
will make armed conflict less likeiy
and still absolve the United States
from foreign entanglements, the ad-
ministration is expected to put the
full force of its prestige behind the
treaty when it is presented to the
Senate. The capital view is that
there undoubtedly will be opposition
from some quarters but, on the
other hand, that the treaty will have

with having been fully informed.
while negotiations for the treaty

sent any objections he may have’
had. His full support, therefore, ts |
counted upon by the administration. |
What serious objections, if any,
the members of the senate would)
bring up to block the consent which |
is necessary to make the treaty
binding upon the United States, ts at
this time not altogether clear since.
few senators have expressed them- |
selves upon the subiect.
May Affect Navy Plan
The simple language in which the |
treaty is phrased, the success of Sec-
retary Kellogg in barring provisions |
likely to be objectionable to the Am-_
erican isolationist, and the fact that |
the treaty appears to impose no ob- |
ligation upon this country other than |
to renounce war as an instrument of |
national policy, are held in Wash- |
ington to be factors arguing for |’
senate approval. In addition, both |
major political parties have indorsed |
efforts to bring peaceful adjudica- |
tion of international disputes to ful-
fillment. fs
Among the interesting specula-
tions is whether the opponents of |
the administration's naval building |
program will use the Kellogg pact to |
reinforce their arguments. There is |
evidence that Washington offictals.
are experiencing some uneasiness |
over their task in reconciling the |
treaty with the request for more |,

| Washington, Aug. 28—(P)—What
will the Senate do is the - question
which interests Washington, now that
the Kellog-Briand peace treaty has
been signed.
The answer to it at this time is that
there appears to be no reason why
the pact should not be ratified
promptly but this, view dis qualified
with the admonition that many

ter to change the current outlook.

formed while negotiations for the

have been given the opportunity to

had. His full support, therefore, is
counted upon by the administration.
Few senators have expressed them-
selves upon the subject, but as Wash-
ington looks upon the question, par-
tisan political considerations may be
greatly subordinated inasmuch as the
presidential campaign will be so much
water over the dam by the time rat-
jfication is requested.
The fact that the treaty appears to
impose no obligation upon this coun-
try other than to renounce war as an
instrument of national policy, is held
ju. Washington to be a factor arguing

WASHINGTON (AP)—President Kennedy today appointed Gen. Maxwell D. :
Taylor, former Army chief of staff, to make a special survey of U.S, capabilities in
the field of “nonconventional” warfare such as guerrilla activity.
Taylor immediately went on the job. He attended a meeting this morning of
the National Security Council—one of the few sessions of that major defense
om since ane took office. i
ierre Salinger, White House press secretary, said that “nonconventional”
warfare in this case is not used in the usual sense of nuclear warfare but of tactical .
Operauons,
Salinger said Kennedy decided
within the last few days that such
4 survey is necessary and asked
lor Friday to conduct it.
Pressed by newsmen for the
purpose Kennedy had in mind in
designating Taylor to conduct a
study of a specialized phase of
military operations, Salinger cited
the last paragraph of Kennedy's
speech two days ago before a
group of the American Society of
Newspaper Editors.
In that Kennedy said: “Let me
then make clear as your presi-
dent that I am determined upon
our system's survival and success,
regardless of the cost and regard-
less of the peril.”

DEROGA (AP) — Skylab’s as-
tronauts came home safely
from man’s longest space jour-
ney today and despite some
early dizziness and lighthea-
dedness, they were pronoucned
in excellent physical condition.
Charles Conrad Jr., Dr. Jo-
seph P. Kerwin and Paul J.
Weitz shunned stretchers to
walk somewhat unsteadily
across the deck of this recov-
ery carrier.
The wobbly 60 steps from
the Apollo ferry ship to a med-
ical laboartory indicated the
astornauts had suffered some
initial effects in gravity after
a record four weeks’ exposure
to space weightlessness.
But commander Conrad re-
ported as the Apollo parachut-
ed toward a pinpoint landing
in the Pacific after an 11-
million-mile journey: “We're
all in good shape. Evervthing’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 Houstor
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.
The astronauts 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.
| ABOARD USS TICONDEROGA (AP) —
Skylab’s astronauts came home safely
from man’s longest space journey today
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. Kerwin and Paul J. Weitz had suffered
some 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
weightless 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 began six
hours of extensive medical debriefing.
They emerged smiling from the hatch
ami-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
physical being.
How well Conrad; Kerwin and 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
problem in their space station. But mission
control decided there was nothing the
astronauts could do and told them to come
ishome.
ja Ten minutes behind schedule, Carad,
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 Apolio craft hit the calm blue waters
at 8:50. a.m. CDT 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 once again had a ringside seat to
a U.S. man-in-space landing as the Apollo
craft floated down through low-hanging
clouds and dangling under three huge or-
ange and white parachutes.
“Everyone’s in super shape,’ Conrad
said as the spacecraft bobbed on the water
awaiting pickup. Frogmen immediately
leaped from helicopters to secure the
spacecraft with flotation collars.
The Ticonderoga reported the astronauts
had landed 6% miles from the ship and that
the ship was 6% miles from the target
point, indicating a perfect touchdown.

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

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 2 8days and 11 mil-
dion miles in orbit.
Just 39 minutes after touch-
down Charles Conrad Jr., Dr.
Joseph P. Kerwin and Pau! J.

deck of this recovery carrier,
still inside their’ Apollo ferry
ship.
“We're all in good shape.By-
erylhing’s OK,” commander
Conrad radioed as the space-
eraft 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.

from the four weeks’ exposure

fense group since Kennedy took
office,
Pierre Salinger, White House

sense of nuclear warfare but of
tactical operations,
Salinger said Kennedy decided
within the last few days that
such a survey is necessary and
asked Taylor Friday to conduct
it.

by events of the past week in

Brezhnev reached the accord in
the fifth day of their summit talks
and prepared to sign it at the
White House before heading on to
California where they will con-
clude their meetings on Sunday.
In addition to its application to
U.S.-Soviet. relations, the agree-
ment applies also to the relations
of either party with other coun-
tries. In this way, although techni-
cally bilateral, the agreement has
multilateral implications.
The two leaders declared in the
agreement that they were
‘conscious that nuclear war would
have devastating consequences
for mankind" and said they want-
ed “to bring about conditions in
which the danger of an outbreak
of nuclear war anywhere in the
world would be reduced and ulti-
mately eliminated.”
They pledged their countries to
“act in such a way as to prevent
the development of situations cap-
able of causing a dangerous exac-
erbation of their relations, as to
avoid military confrontations, and
as to exclude the outbreak of nu-
clear war between them and be-
tween either of the parties and
other countries.”
Nixon and Brezhnev also agreed
that their countries ‘will refrain
from the threat or the use of force
against the other party, against
the allies of the other party and
against other countries, in cir-
cumstances which may endanger
international peace and security.”
At a news conference prior tothe
formal signing, presidential as-
sistant Henry A. Kissinger skirted
questions on whether this clause
would forbid U.S. bombing of Cam-
bodia or would have prevented the
Soviet invasion of Czechoslovakia.
Kissinger noted, however, that
U.S. air strikes against Commun-
ist forces in Cambodia were under
way at the time the agreement was
being negotiated and that the
bombing ‘‘was not raised as apply-
ing to that particular situation."
When a newsman asked whether
the agreement would forestall any
Soviet action against China, Kis-
singer responded that the accord
was ‘not conceived as protection
for any country” but added it
would ‘have the practical conse-
quence of applying to the situation
you described.”’
U.S. allies in Europe have ex-
pressed reservations in the past
about any agreements’ which
would restrict their use of Ameri-
can-supplied nuclear weapons in
the event of a massive, conven-
tional Soviet attack.

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
miles, allowing earth's graviq
to tug the spacecraft out of or
bit and start the long glide
through the atmosphere ta th
eastern Pacific.
The refrigeration troub!
caused considerable concern. 4
maneuver intended to correct |
caused a brief pyrascope prob-
lem that caused (he 10-minute
delay in the astronauts’ depar-
ture from the orbiting labora-
tory.
“We're free"! Conrad report-
ed seconds after the control
center flashed the go-ahead for
undocking from the 118-foal-
Jong laboratory, .
They feft behind a space sta-
lion which they had salvaged
with some darffig, difficult and
aften 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
add-looking space vehicle ta
mission control for evaluation
by experts.
Then, in quick succession,
they triggered the engine fir-
ings that gradually dropped
them closer to earth from their
original orbital altitude of 275
miles.
To get the astronauts to med-
ical trailers on board as quick-
ly as possible after landing, the
carrier was (0 steam to the
Apailo 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.

nauts is essential because doc

The President arranged the
luncheon session in a telephone
call to Eisenhower Friday morn-

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-
can party and as former presi-
dent he should know what the sit-
uation is.”
Salinger also disclosed that
Kennedy had been in indirect con-
tact with Gov. Nelson A. Rocke-
feller of New York, another Re-
publican leader, and that he had
conferred Friday with Sen. Barry
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 in Support
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.”

arranged to fly to Camp David

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

Navy captain, as the line was hooked to
a loop at the top of the command ship.

WASHINGTON (AP) — The
leaders of the world’s two nu-
clear superpowers pledged in a
landmark agreement today to
regulate their relations in a
way to reduce the risk of nucle-
ar war.
President Nixon and Soviet
Communist party Secretary
Leonid I, Brezhnev reached the
accord in the fifth day of their
summit talks and prepared to
sign it at the White House bhe-
fore heading for California
where they will conclude their
meetings Sunday.
In addition to its application
to U.S.-Soviet relations, the
agreement applies also to the
relations of either party with
Other countries. In this way, al-
though technically bilateral, the
agreement has multilateral im-
plications.
The two leaders declared in
the agreement that they were
“conscious that nuclear war
would have devastating con-
sequences for mankind’ and
said they wanted ‘to bring
about conditions in which the
danger of an outbreak of nucle-
ar war anywhere in the world
would be reduced and ultimate-
ly eliminated.”
They pledged their countries
to ‘‘act in such a way 4s to pre-
vent the development of situ-
ations capable of causing a
dangerous exacerbation of their
relations, as to avoid military
confrontations, and as to ex-
clude the outbreak of nuclear
war between them and between
either of the parties and other
countries.”
Nixon and Brezhnev also
agreed that their countries
“‘will refrain from the threat or
the use of force against the oth-
er party, against the allies of
the other party and against oth-
er countries, in circumstances
which may endanger _inter-
national peace and security.”
At a news conference prior to
the formal signing, presidential
assistant Henry A. Kissinger
skirted questions on whether
this clause would forbid U.S.
bombing of Cambodia or would
have prevented the Soviet in-
vasion of Czechoslovakia.
Kissinger noted, however,
that U.S. air strikes against
Communist forces in Cambodia
were under way at the time the
agreement was being nego-
tiated and that the bombing
“was not raised as applying to
that particular situation.”
When a newsman asked
whether the agreement would
forestall any Soviet action
against China, Kissinger re-
sponded that the accord was
“not conceived as _ protection
for any country”’ but added it
would “‘have the practical con-
sequence of applying to the sit-
uation you described.”
“I'll see you tomorrow at the
signing,’’ Nixon reminded
Brezhnev just before midnight
Thursday as he left the Soviet
Embassy after a banghet of
caviar, borsch, Russian beef
and fish, two kinds of vodka
and Soviet champagne.
The two leaders popped a
surprise in their banquet toasts,
disclosing that Brezhnev had
extended and Nixon had accept-
ed an invitation to return to the
Soviet Union next year for a
third summit in as many years.
| Washington—The United States
Board of Mediation announced today
that an agreement had been reach-
ed by the executive officers of the
Order of Railway Conductors and the
Brotherhood of Railroad Trainmen
and the railroads of the Western
territory in the dispute between
them involving rates of pay and cer-
tain rules.
Final approval of the agreement is
subject to ratification by the Associa-
tions of General Committees of the
western territory.
Should approval be denied by the
employe associations or general com-
mittees of the western territory, the
board said, the dispute would con-
tinue to exist and would have to be
treated in accordance with law.
Meanwhile, the board said, the
employe organizations have agreed
to a provision insuring the president
and the board of mediation a rea-
sonable opportunity to proceed un-
der the law, so far as the calling of
a strike, before any further action
has been initiated on the part of the

ABOARD USS TICONDEROGA (AP) —
Skylab’s astronauts came home safely
from man’s longest space journey today
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. Kerwin and Paul J. Weitz had suffered
some 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
weightless 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 began six
hours of extensive medical debriefing.
They emerged smiling from the hatch
ami-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
physical being.
How well Conrad; Kerwin and 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
problem in their space station. But mission
control decided there was nothing the
astronauts could do and told them to come
ishome.
ja Ten minutes behind schedule, Carad,
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 Apolio craft hit the calm blue waters
at 8:50. a.m. CDT 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 once again had a ringside seat to
a U.S. man-in-space landing as the Apollo
craft floated down through low-hanging
clouds and dangling under three huge or-
ange and white parachutes.
“Everyone’s in super shape,’ Conrad
said as the spacecraft bobbed on the water
awaiting pickup. Frogmen immediately
leaped from helicopters to secure the
spacecraft with flotation collars.
The Ticonderoga reported the astronauts
had landed 6% miles from the ship and that
the ship was 6% miles from the target
point, indicating a perfect touchdown.

WASHINGTON (AP) — A Re-

Watergate committee says the
Nixon _ administration has
“stepped on” anyone willing to

Sen. Lowell O. Weicker Jr.,

Weicker was the sole oppo-

An anti-Castro radio broadcast
from an island off Central Amer-

apparently fighting on Cuban soil
that help was on the way and

scribed the Cuban capital as a
city of fear and suspicion. It said
a new wave of arrests and deten-
tions reached into almost’ every

described as growing worse.
The New York Times quoted a

as saying Maj. Ernesto Guevara,
one of Castro's top aides, was
seriously wounded in the head
earlier this week. The Times said
the information reached Washing-
ton from a diplomatic source in
Havana.
The diplomatic source said a
neurosurgeon was sent to a pro

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 during the
abortive invasion by Cuban
exiles.
Operation Failed
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
operation ended in faflure.
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.
“Then it is not just to say that
Cuban militiamen behave like hu-
man beasts?’ Miro Torres was
asked.
‘Absolutely not,’’ he replied be-
fore the cameras.
When asked by the panel of in-
terviewers what he and his men
exr-ected to find when they land-
ed. Miro Torres said:
‘We thought the militia and the
ar ey would join us.”
“That is what you were told. But
what did you find?”
“They fought us very hard and
defeated us.”
“Then you were defeated?”
Miro Torres was asked.
“Yes,” he answered.
Miro Torres also responded
‘no when asked if any appre-
ciable number of invaders had
escaped.
Appeals to Pope
Jose Miro Cardona appealed
from his New York headquarters
to Pope John XXIII, asking the
pontift’s intercession to hait fir-
ing squad executions of captured
rebels. A Havana dispatch Fri-
day said the number shot had
reached 29 in three days.
The rebel radio broadcast mys-
terious instructions to three bat-
talions, two squadrons and an air
group at 4 a.m. today. It told
one battalion to advance and the
two squadrons bow far to pro-
ceed. It instructed the air group
to cover a certain position by
number. The signals were heard
clearly at an Associated Press
monitoring station in Miami.

plained bitterly over what he saw
as the reasons for the failure of

ed to seize radio stations for ral-
lying the masses and did not fur-

EDWARDS AIR 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’ 8 pressurized cabin sprang
ia 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.

Boulder, Colo., May 10 (®)—A
jury which said it sought divine
guidance convicted Joe Walker in
the rape slaying of coed Theresa
Foster.
The verdict of second degree
murder carries a penalty of 10
years to life in prison.
Walker only shook his head
when he heard the verdict late
yesterday. That was just an hour
short of three days from the time
the jury took the case against the
32-year old metal worker.
In Santa Monica, Calif., Walk-
-er’s wife said she refuses “to give
up hope for Joe until after the
ease has been appealed.” She
termed “very ridiculous” a ques-
tion as to whether she plans to
collect the $10,000 reward offered

old coed,
- Walker was arrested at their
‘home near here 12 days after the
slaying November 9 on a lonely
lover’s lane. His wife told police
she was suspicious of bloodstains
in his ear and on his clothing.
Walker admitted dumping the
girl’s body under a bridge. But
he said a blond boyfriend of Miss
Foster killed her after beating
Walker unconscious. His state-
ment was read to the jury but he

DETROIT, May 10.—(UP)—Ford Motor company and
CIO officials meet today to attempt settlement of a six-day-
old strike against two key Ford plants that will idle a total

of 85,000 workers by tonight.
Reopening of negotiations
came as Ford scheduled im-
mediate shutdowns of 11 as-'
sembly lines, with the re-|
maining ‘eight to close by
next Monday.
Henry Ford II, youthful head of
the company, accepted a union of-
fer to reopen peace talks which
were cut short last Thursday when
62,200 United Auto Workers struck
at Ford’s River Rouge and Lincoln-
Mercury plants. ‘
In his bid to reopen negotiations,
Walter Reuther, president of the
UAW, asked Ford to personally
lead the company negotiating team.
Ford declined 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 “unneces-
| sary.”
“Since your letter expresses con-
cern for the Ford workers, we
would like to suggest that you as-
sume your personal obligations to
participate in negotiations.”
| “This will also afford you the
|opportunity,” Reuther said, “of be-
ing apprised of all facts in the
situation, which obviously you do
not have.”
Ford said John Bugas, vice
president in charge of industrial
relations who led previous peace
\efforts, would conduct company
; negotiations with “the full support
‘land 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
|; on his life a year ago.
“The issues involved and the
welfare of workers on strike have
an importance that outweighs any
| personal consideration,” he said.
'| Loeals 600 and 190 of the UAW
' struck the two plants last Thurs.
day, charging the company with
speeding up assembly lines at the
.|risk of the “health and safety” of
| workers. The company denied an}
speedup.

WASHINGTON (AP) — Two fighter pilots
have been formally accused of misconduct for
actions during their years in North Vietnamese
prisoner of war camps, Pentagon sources have
disclosed.
The two men are Navy Capt. Walter E. Wil-
bur, 43, of Columbia Cross Roads, Pa., and Ma-
rine Lt. Col. Edison Wainwright Miller, 41, of
Tustin, Calif,
| WASHINGTON (AP) — Two fighter
pilots have been formally accused of
misconduct for actions during their years
in North Vietnamese prisoner of war
camps, Pentagon sources have disclosed.
They are the first officers to face such
charges, which were brought by Rear
Adm. James V. Stockdale, of Coronado,
Calif. Stockdale, a captain as a POW,
was promoted after he returned home.
The two men are Navy Capt. Walter E.
Wilber, 43, of Columbia Cross Roads,
Pa., and Marine Lt. Col. Edison
Wainright Miller, 41, of Tustin, Calif.
Miller, whose mother lives in Clinton,
Iowa, said he would have no comment
until he gets word of the charges from
official sources.
“IT don’t know anything about it except
what I’ve heard on the news, so it would
not be appropriate to say anything at this
time,” he said.
Wilber was the executive officer of a
squadron of Phantom F‘4 fighter planes
when he was shot down over North
Vietnam June 16, 1968.
Miller's Marine F4 Phantom went
down over North Vietnam Oct. 13, 1967.
The sources said Thursday that Stock-
dale mailed the formal charges to Navy
Secretary John Warner. Details of Stock-
dale’s accusations were not available.
On May 29, eight enlisted men were
formally charged by Air Force Col.
Theodore Guy of misconduct during their
years of imprisonment.
The eight men, all foot soldiers cap-
tured in South Vietnam, have denied any
improper activities.
Under a policy set out by former
Secretary of Defense Melvin R. Laird,
the Pentagon is making no formal
charges against any of the 566 returned
POWs. The accusations by Guy and
Stockdale are made as individual ser-
vicemen charging other individual
servicemen under the military code of
justice.
Both Guy and Stockdale were provided
with military lawyers who helped draw
up the legal papers, sources said.
Officially, Pentagon spokesmen say they
have neither discouraged nor en-
couraged any serviceman to take action
against any former POW.
Wilber has acknowledged making
antiwar statements while in captivity. ‘‘I
found out when I had time to think about
myself, where I was, what we were
doing, I found out that my conscience
bothered me,”’ he said in a recent in-
terview.
A Navy man since 1948, Wilber is
married and has three sons and a
daughter. Miller, a Marine since 1949, is
also married and has five sons.

| THE HAGUE (AP) — The In-
ternational Court of Justice
called on France today to re-
frain from nuclear testing in
the South Pacific pending a fi-
nal decision on the legality of
the test series.
By an 86 vote, the court
ruled that Australia and France
should not take any action in
the meantime ‘‘which might ex-
tend the dispute or prejudice
the final decision of the court.”
The court’s ruling followed
applications last month by Aus
tralia and New Zeland seeking
an injunction against the
French test series.
The court said it would
schedule further hearings in
September and December. It
did not say if France, which
boycotted last month’s hear
ings, would be represented at
the forthcoming sessions.
In their pleadings before the
court, representatives of both
the Australian and New Zea-
land governments said further
nuclear tests in the South Pa-
cific would present unaccep-
table health and environmental
dangers to the population of the
areas concerned,
The Australian attorney gen-
eral, Lionel Murphy, said the
forthcoming series might be of
“a size and yield hitherto un-
equalled.”
The people of the southern
hemisphere ‘‘will pay with their
lives for the French decision to
go ahead with their spring test
program,”’ he added.
France so far has refused to
give any information as to the
nature and yield of the devices
which it proposes to explode.
The only indication so far
that the tests are imminent
were reports last Saturday
from Tahiti saying six French
navy vessels, known to be con-
nected with the tests, left there
last week bound for the Mu-
ruroa Atoll.
The Mururoa test atoll lies
7 miles southeast of Tahiti.
French opposition leader
Jean-Jacques Servan-Schreiber
said in the Tahitian capital of
Papeete Thursday the French
government plans six or eight
nuclear atmospheric tests in
the South Pacific this year, and
must start them by the end of
July,
The Radical party leader is
in Tahiti to lead a mass demon-
stration Saturday against the
tests.
The World Court's ruling still
left the door open for France to
step into the case should this
now be decided by the French
government.

jSenators voted themselves a 50
(per cent pay raise Wednesday,
from $15,000 a year to $22,500. The
}vote was 62-24.
The prevailing argument was
that living costs have gone up,
and it wouldn’t do to keep the pay
so low that only a rich man could
serve in Congress.
The Senate bill will have to be
adjusted with a more liberal one
voted by the House last week 283-

gress members to $25,000.
Both bills continue a $3,000 in-
come tax exemption granted mem-
bers of the grounds they must

also would raise Vice President
Nixon and House Speaker Rayburn
from $40,000 a year to $45,000.
During Senate debate, Sen.
Knowland (R-Calif) said few peo-
ple “have any idea of the burdens
carried by a senator.”
He noted that nine members had
died in the last Congress, and said
“we have no vacations’ and “it
is very seldom we spend less than
12 or 14 hours in a working day.”
Knowland said he was sure the
people did not want to turn the
Senate into a “rich man's club’
and make it impossible for anyone
to serve who does not have outside
income.
The Senate bill would raise Chief
Justice Earl Warren to $35,000 and
the other justices to $34,500 from:
$25,500 and $25,000 respectively.
The House bill makes it $35,500
and $35,000 respectively,
Judges of federal appellate
courts, who now get $17,500, would
receive $25,500 under the Senate
bill, $25,000 under the House.-
Federal district Judges and
judges on comparable U.S. courts,
now paid $15,000, would get $22,500
under both bills.

istalxed out of senate hearings on

Monday, charging that Chairman

Watkins snapped.
“I have no complaint about try-

WASHINGTON (AP'—President
Kennedy meets with former Pres-
ident Dwight D. Eisenhower to-
day in an evident bid to rally
strong national support for eriti-
cal steps which he may consider
necessary to deal with the 1n-
creasingly 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,
presumably to discuss possible
fulure 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 develoo-
ments, the President was repoit-
ed to have ordered a thorough
study of reasons for the defeat
of the rebel invasion attempt
which began Jast weekend ‘with
the United States’ moral support
—and, it was generally believed
here, with some backing of U. S.
money and arms.
The President was understood
to be concerned about what some:
authorities called a failure to cal-
culate accurately in advance the
strength of Prime Minister Fidel)
Castro's military reaction to the
rebel assault as well as possible
errors in intelligence.
White House news seerefary
Pierre Salinger disclosed Friday:
neht that Kennedy and Eisen-
hower would meet at Camp Da-
vid, the Catoctin Mountain re-
treat near Getlysburg, Pa., which
Eisenhower used for conferences
with foreign leaders.
The President arranged the
luncheon session in a telephon2
tall to Eisenhower I*riday morn-:
ling. The former chief cxecutive
‘was at his Geltysburg farm.
| Salinger said Kennedy wanted
to brine Eisenhower up to date
on the Cuban situation, believinz
that “as leader of the Republi-
ean party and as former presi-
dent he should know what the sit-
uation is.”’
Salinger also disclosed — that
'Kennedy had been in indirect con-
‘tact with Gov. Nelson A. Rocke-
feller of New York, another Re-
.publican leader, and that he had
,conferred Friduy 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
farmed 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
Fisenhower from his farm. They
last met on inauguration day,
Jan, 20, when Kennedy took over
the reins of government.
Salinger was asked whether,
Kennedy considered the Cubana
situation grave. He said the Pres-,

Communist government of Cuba
in the wake of this week's abor-
tive anti-Castro invasion.
In the midst of these deveiop-
ments. the President was report-
ed to have ordered a thorough
study of reasons for the defeat
of the rebel invasion attempt
which began last weekend with
the United States’ moral support
—and, it was generally believed
here, with some backing of U. S.
money and arms.
The President was understood
to be concerned about what some
authorities called a failure to cal-
culate accurately in advance the
strength of Prime Minister Fidel
Castro's military reaction to the
rebel assault as well as possible
errors in intelligence.
Meet at Camp Dayid
White House news secretary
Pierre Salinger disclosed Friday
night that Kennedy and Elisen-
hower would meet at Camp Da-
vid, the Catoctin Mountain re-
treat near Gettysburg, Pa., which
Eisenhower used for conferences
with foreign leaders.
The President arranged the
luncheon session in a telephone
call to Eisenhower Friday morn-
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-
can party and as former presi-
dent he should know what the sit-
uation is.”
Salinger also disclosed that
Kennedy had been in indirect con-
tact with Gov. Nelson A. Rocke-
feller of New York, another Re-
publican leader, and that he had
conferred Friday with Sen. Barry
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.
Full Support From Nixon
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
E1senhower from his farm. They
Jast met on inauguration day,
Jan. 20, when Kennedy took over
the reins of government.
