WASHINGTON (AP)-~President
Kennedy today appointed Gen.
Maxwell D. Taylor, former
chief of staff, to make a special
survey of U.S. capabilities in the
field of “nonconventional’ war-
fare 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 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 weck in
Cuba.
Pressed by newsmen for the
purpose Kennedy had in mind in
designating Taylor to conduct a
study of a specialized phase of
military operations, Salinger cited
the last paragraph of Kennedy’s
speech two days ago before a
group of the American Society of
Newspaper Editors.
In that Kennedy said: ‘‘Let me
then make clear as your presi-
dent that IT am determined upon
our system’s survival and success,
regardless of the cost and regard-
less of the peril.”

—The United’States board of
mediation announced today
that an agreement had been
reached by the executive of-
ficers of the order of Railway
Conductors and the Brother-
hood of Railroad Trainmen
and the railroads of the west-
ern territory in the dispute be-
tween them involving rates of
_pay and certain rules.
g Final approval of the agree-
ment is subject to ratification
‘by the associations of gener-
al committees of the western
territory.
Should approval be dented by the
employee associations or general
committees of the western terri-
tory, the board said, the dispute
would continue to exist and would
have to be treated in accordance
with Jaw.” :
Meanwhile, the board said, the
eniployee organizations have agreed
to a provision insuring the presi
dent and the board of mediation n
reasonable opportunity to proceed
under the law, so far as the calling
of-a strike, before any further ac
tion hag been initiated on the part

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

speeding up assembly lines at the
risk of “health and safety” of work
ers. The company denied any speed

sonally. Instead, he .expressed
full confiderice in the ability of
this labor: relations director, John

PARIS (AP)—President Charles
de Gaulle sent new political and
military chieftains to Algeria to-
day to replace two men now held
by an insurgent military junta.
De Gaulle ordered all civilian
and military personnel in the ter-
ritory to obey the new chiefs, who
have landed in agers at an un-
known spot.
The two are Algerian Affairs
Minister Louis Joxe, who was
.given ‘full political powers by De
Gaulle, and Gen. Jean Ollie,
named commander in chief of all
military forces in Algeria.
Announced by Radio
The new dispositions in the face
of the insurgent military threat
were announced in a radio ad-
dress by Premier Michel Debre.
Joxe and Olie would take over
the functions of Jean Morin and
Gen. Fernand Gambiez who are
now being held in Algiers.
Debre’s radio address came
shortly after announcement that
De Gaulle was calling for a full
cabinet review of Algeria later in
the day.
Debre said Joxe was sent with
“full powers of government’’ ac-
companied by Olie as the new
military commander.
“In the absence of the local au-
thorities,” said Debre, “it is to
these men that officers and civil
servants owe their obedience.”
Debre warned ,that the ‘‘adven-
ture’’ in -Algeria by the military
junta could only ‘“‘have for the na-
tion a tragic aftermath.”
Strict Security Measures
Meanwhile, authorities in
France enforced strict security
measures throughout the nation
to insure that the Algiers rising
did not spread. Such fears were
heightened by coded radio mes-
sages which the Algiers radio
started broadcasting this morn-
ing. In May 1958 similar mes-
sages were used to relay infor-
mation to rightists in France.
Orders flowed from De Gaulle’s
Elysee Palate in a steady stream
following the sudden coup which
put the North African city of Al-
giers in the hands of three para-
chute regiments led by a junta
of retired generals.
Troops on Alert
Police and security froops
through France were placed on
an alert and the naval squadron
at Toulon was ordered to recall
all personnel on leave. The army
also cancelled all leaves.
De Gaulle twice called in Prime
Minister Michel Debre during the
morning and also contacted top
defense officials before setting the
full scale Cabinet review later in
the day.
Meanwhile, the government
stopped all telephone calls to Al
geria.
De Gaulle remained as outward-
ly calm as ever.

ABOARD US __ 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 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 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'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 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 am. 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 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 mobile
medical laboratories aboard the
Ticonderoga.
The landing completed an
historic space mission that last-
ed 22 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 ‘Ticonderga’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 am., the astronauts con-
ducted the critical retrorocket
burn that slowed their 17,100
mile-an-hour speed by 150
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.
“We're free,’ Conrad r
ed seconds after the control
center flashed the go-anead for
undocking from the 18-foot-
long laborttory,
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 es-
tronauts made a 45-minute fly-
around inspection of the sta-
tion, televising pictures of the
odd-locking space véehicle to
mission control for evaluation
by experts.
Then, in quick succession,
they triggered the engine fir-
ings that gradua!ly dropped
them closer to earth from their
original orbital altitude of 275
miles.

tough paratroops seized power in
Algiers in defiance of President
Charles de Gaulle today and
claimed control over the vast ter-

The bloodless coup was carried

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 for peace talks.
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

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-

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

sponded that the accord was

An anti-Castro radio broadcast from an island off Central
America today told two rebel 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 goverpment 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 Island and

Repeats Instruction
The Swan Island broadcast,
monotored 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.
Hears Guevara Wounded
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-
ton from a diplomatic source in
Havana.
The diplomatic source said ¢

vincial hospital where Guevara al
legedly was taken. Guevara, 32
is Cuba’s economic czar.

“Then it is not just to say tha’

the tendency of astronauts’
blood to pool in their legs, away
from the brain, as a result of
heart laziness induced by long
exposure to the lack of gravity.
Dr. Lawrence Dietlein, a
NASA physician, said the
astronauts looked in “quite
good” health, “far better from
what I personally expected.”
The spacecraft was hoisted
aboard this ship with the pilots
still inside, a switch from past
procedures made to keep the
astronauts’ exertion to a
minimum, Medics were ready
to carry Conrad, Kerwin and
Weitz on stretchers if neces-
sary, from their scorched
capsule to the blue mobile
medical laboratories 66 feet
away.

and waving, climbed out of the
Apollo under their own power.
They stood on a wooden
platform briefly, chatting with
Dr. Charles Ross, the flight
suregon, and then carefully
made their way down some
steps and to the special Skylab
clinic.
Conrad, who has been in
space more than anyone,
appeared the most relaxed,
Weitz and especially Kerwin
walked a little bowlegged and
slightly hunched over.
But the fact that they were
able to walk as well as they did
was significant. It meant the
three Americans were in better
shape after spending 28 days in
space than two Russian cos-
monauts were at the end of an
18-day flight in 1970. They had
to be carried from their
spacecraft.
The primary objective of the
Skylab marathon was to see
how well men fare for long
periods of weightlessness and
then adjust to the rigors of
gravity back on earth.
Conrad, Kerwin and Weitz
were undergoing long and
detailed medical tests within an
hour after their 9:50 a.m. ED?
splashdown. Doctors said the
first results would not be known

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 at-
mosphere 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
Cinaet
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 61% miles
from the ship and that the ship
was 6'2 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 US.
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 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 395 times.
Mission 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.
“We're free,’’ Conrad report-
ed 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,
they triggered the engine fir-
ings that gradually dropped
them closer to earth from their
original orbit.

“‘will refrain from the threat or

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

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
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'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-
Cai deing.
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<lay 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-
seent,
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 wateh-
ing television around the world
again had a ringside seat to a
U.S. man-inspace landing as
the Apollo craft floated down
through low-hanging ciouds 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+ miles
from the ship and that the ship
was 6's mules from the target
point, indicating a. perfect
touchdown,

| CHICAGO (UPI)—A slow-learn-
ing fifth grader, who brooded
about losing his standing as a
“teacher’s pet,” admitted Friday
night that he stabbed to death his
favorite teacher.
Arthur Lee Hester, 14, a slight-
ly built Negro who was three
grades behind in school, con-
fessed that he killed Mrs. Jose-
phine Keane, 45, in the basement
storeroom where he used to help
her sort textbooks.
Detectives questioned Hester
after laboratory tests confirmed
their suspicions that he was
Mrs. Keane’s slayer.
Hester said the stabbing was
accidental. Mrs. Keane, a. mother
of six children and a ‘‘master
teacher’ supervising the lower
grades,:was stabbed seven times
Thursday.
Hester had liked to clean black
boards and run errands for Mrs.
Keane, police said. But when he
was transferred from afternoon to
morning session at the two-shift
school, he lost his job as her
“special helper.’’

MOSCOW — (>) — Soviet
Premier Khrushchev told Pres-

vasion of Cuba is “a crime
which has revolted the whole
world.”
“It has been established in-
controvertibly that it was the

mercenary bands which invad-
ed Cuba,” Khrushchev said in
a message to President Ken-

Khrushchev was replying to

Berlin, May 10—i(4)—At one
minute past midnight Thursday
flagbedecked traffice will end the
epic of blockaded Berlin.
That's 4:01 p. m. Central Stan-
dard, Time, Wednesday.
So far there hasn't been a hitch
in final arrangements.
Gen. V. I. Chuikov, Soviet com-
mander in Germany, and the
western powers both have ordered
that transport, trade and com-
munication services between their

Things will revert to the way
they were on March 1, 1948, when
the blockade began.
Searches to End
Sixteen freight trains will move
into the city daily. Highways will
be open. The Soviet’s won't—or
at least say they won’t—demand
travel permits. They also say
they'll not try to search allied
baggage. Mail service will be
resumed.
Western Berlin’s Mayor Ernest
Reuter ordered the black, red and
gold flag of the new west German
republic to be flown on _ street
cars and buses.
The first day, 10 trainloads of
coal and six others of fresh pota-
toes and consumer goods are
scheduled to move into the city,
which has been supplied by the
air lift for ten months
Twelve thousand tons of sup-
plies are to go into the city daily—
just about the same figure the
air lift reached on its best day.
Excitement In Air
Restrictions on movements be-
tween the Soviet and western
sectors of Berlin are to be re-
moved at the same hour that the
blockade ends.
Until then, search and seizure
continue to be the rule for eastern
and western sector police enfore-
ing regulations. But Thursday the
Berliner can go where he pleases
and carry whatever he wishes,
without interference or fear of
confiscation of his goods or cur-
rency.

PARIS (UP) —Four rebel French
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
Gaulle's government.
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
_ French” that the Army made on
* 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.
Raoul Salan and three other gen.
erals, all of whom had held high
commands in Algeria, announcec
the Army had taken over “‘all
powers held by civilian authori
ties,”
The other generals who signed
the communique were Maurice
’ Challe, who succeeded Gen. Salar
as commander in Algeria and la.
ter served as commander of NA
TO forces in Central Europe; Ed
mond Jouhaud, former Air Fores
commander in Algeria, and Andre
M. Zeller, a former chief of Ar
my staff who resigned in protes
against government policies in Al
geria.
Abandoned
Gen. Zeller charged in a broad
cast from Algiers that the d
Gaulle regime was a ‘“‘govern
ment of abandonment” and guilt)
of treason for its offer to “‘sur
render’ Algeria to the Arabs.
“A military tribunal will short
ly be formed to try ail individual
who were directly involved in th
’ surrender move,” Gen. Zelle
said.

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 X15 fell helplessly from
45.000 feet to 37,000 feet, White
labored frantically to get the en-
gine restarted.
57,000 Pounds of Thrust
Finally he succeeded. The en-
gine’s 57,000 pounds of thrust
came on at full throttle, driving
him back in his seat with a force
three times that of normal
gravity.
White zoomed to 80,000 feet, the
altitude at which he reached the
new speed record, then shut of
his engine.
At 90,000 feet his pressurized
cabin sprang a leak. Instantly
and automatically, his space-type
flying suit inflated to compensate
for the loss of pressure in the
cabin.
“T was still able to functior
normally,’ White said, so he con:
tinued the flight.
Momentum carried him on t
103,000 feet, close to the plannec
peak for the flight. Then came
the long glide back to base.

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,
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, i
White House news secretary
Pierre Salinger disclosed Friday
night that Kennedy and Eisen.
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
re.urn 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, Jo-
seph 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 control-
ers at Houston's mission
contro] waited anxiously for
more than a half hour between
the time the ships main
br 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 tiree
orange and white striped main
canopies blossomed out on
schedule and eased the as-
tronauts into the calm sea at
9:50 a.m. EDT within view of a
television camera aboard this
veteran aircraft carrier
“Everybody’ in super
Shape,’ said Conrad, the
veteran commander of Ameri-
ca’s first space station.
The ship reported the as-
tronauts landed precisely on
target, 84 miles southwest of
San Diego. The Ticonderoga
was 642 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 15s “tnches in
diameter.
It was the first time an
Apollo had been hoisted aboard
a recovery ship wth _ 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 becaus2 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 televi-
sion camera to beam back to
mission control their parting
view of the world’s largest
spaceship.

SPY j%SEREs SRR E Bsr BN
An anti-Castro radio broadcast
from an island off Central Amer-
ica today told two rebel 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.
Airs Troop Orders
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 Miarm 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.
Seriously Wounded?
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-
ton from a diplomatic source in
Havana.
The diplomatic source said a
neurosurgeon was sent to a pro-
vinecial hospital where Guevara al-
legedly was taken. Guevara, 32,
is Cuba’s economic czar.
The government radio network
said Prime Minister Fidel Castro,
unseen in public for almost a

An anti-Castro radio broadcast
from an island off Central Amer-
ica today told two rebel 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,
minotored 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-

described aS growing worse.

as saying Maj. Ernesto Guevara,

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
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.

LONDON, May 10—(?)—A hotly-
disputed bill to nationalize most of
Brifain’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 chamber
will riddle it with amendments, and
return it to Commons which then
will restore it virtually te present
form, te become law.
Socialists call the bill an “atcack
on the heart of capitalism,” because
control of iron and steel means con-
tro) essentially of British manufac-
turing, from bicycles to battleships.
BY 330-203 VOTE
The bill, proposed by the Labor
Government, went {o the House of
Lords after a Conservative motion
in Commons to reject it was de-
feated 330-203. j
It authorizes the government to
buy the stock of 107 companies, but
actual direction of ihe companies
would stay in the hands of the men
who run them new as private cn-
terprises. The -compinies would
work under a government holding
corporation, retaining their present
firm names, They would be free to
compete with one another, but not
io the point of chtshing with the
holding corporation's overall gen-
eral plan.
Under ihe measure the govern-
meni would pay £300,000,000 ($1,-
200,000,000 for the stock of the 107
companies. The firms, which em-
ploy 300,000 of Britain's 495,000 iron
and steel workers, are capitalized at
£195,000,000 ($780,000,000),
MAY AWAIT ELECTION
The bill calls for government con-
trol of the affected plants to start
[May 1, 1950—just before next sum-
‘mer's scheduled national elections.
Some well-placed sources, however.
say the takeover may be deferred
until the elections have shown
whether the people really are
‘firmly behind the Labor party's
plans fer government contro] of in-
dustry.
The Labor Government, whose
platform pledges public ownership
of key industries, has delayed mov-
ing in on iron and steel for four
years. In that period it nationalized
coal, electricity, railroads, long dis-
tance truck and gas industries, air-
lines and the Bank of England.

Swift, Bloodless Coup Early
Today.
ALGIERS (AP)—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 peen in revolt against
France for almost seven years
were preparing for peace talks.
It was not immediately clear |
how tight a hold the insurgents

commander in chief in Algeria,
claimed to control the whole |
territory this was disputed by the

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.
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.
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 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.
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.

— 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.

ferry ship and executed a series of
maneuvers that sent them slamming into

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

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.

~ WASHINGTON (®# — President
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
by helicopter Kennedy met with
the National Security Council,
presumably to discuss possible
future moves against the pro-
Communist government of Cuba.
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.
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-
inedy had been in indirect con-
tact with Gov. Rockefeller of
|New York and that he had con-
ferred Friday with Sen. Barry
Goldwater (R-Ariz).
The contacts with Republicans
followed Kennedy’s meeting at
the White House Thursday with
former Vice President Nixon.
Nixon said in New York Fri-
day night that he had told Ken-
nedy he would support him
“even to the commitment of
American armed forces.”
The post mortem examination
of U.S. government connections
=
what went wrong is in full swing
here. A point at issue is whether
the administration acted wisely
in letting the Cuban Revolution-
ary Council proceed.
_ Administration informants told
newsmen privately that there
was complete concurrence

of State Rusk and the Joint
Chiefs of Staff, as well as other
policymakers in the National
Security Council, that the United

The Ticonderoga steamed
to pick up the Apollo capsule
with the astronauts still in-
side, in contrast to most
earlier US. flights when the
spacemen were lifted to the
carrier by helicopter.
Medical requirements dic-
tated 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 ac-
tivity as possible until they
can be examined in mobile
medical laboratories aboard
the Ticonderoga.
The landing completed an
historic space mission that
lasted 28 days and 50 minutes.
During that time the
spacemen circled the earth
395 times.
Misson Control was kept in
suspense for most of the final
76 minutes of the flight — a
period when the Apollo ship
was out of radio contact with
ground stations.
The Ticonderoga’s radar
picked up the streaking craft
at a distance of 188 miles, 10
minutes before landing.
While out of radio contact,
at 9:11 a.m., the astronauts
conducted the critical
retrorocket burn that slowed
their 17,100 mile-an-hour
speed by 130 miles, allowing
earth's gravity to tug the
spacecraft out of orbit and
start the long glide through
the atmosphere to the eastern
Pacific.
The refrigeration trouble
caused considerable concern.
A maneuver intended to
correct it caused a_ brief
gyroscope problem. that
caused the 10-minute delay in
the astronauts’ departure
from the orbiting laboratory.
‘We're free,’’ Conrad
reported seconds after the
control center flashed the go-
ahead for undocking from the
118-footlong laboratory.
They left behind a space
station which they had
salvaged with some daring,
difficult and often ingenious
repair tasks after it was
damaged during launching
May 14.
After the undocking, the as-
tronauts made a 45-minute
flyaround inspection of the
station, televising pictures of
the odd-looking space vehicle
to mission control for
evaluation by experts.
Then, in quick succession,
they uiggered the engine fir-
ings that gradually dropped
them closer to earth from
their original orbital altitude
of 275 miles
To get the astronauts to

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
» £8 OM AAR earn eclonmeae mes CAM orh+
wees phate Sete en ee ee ee
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.
The strike at the heart of the
Ford empire has shut down sev.

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

WASHINGTON, May 10—.?)—
A row between Chairman Tom Con-
‘nally of the Senate Foreign Rela-
‘tions committee and Sen. Arthur
'V. Watkins, R., Utah, threatened
today to upset the administration’s
plans for eurly action on the At-
tenes pact.
Watkins stomped out of the com:
mittee’s pact hearings yesterday.
! claiming that Connally jad “humil-
jated and embarrassed” him. A fre-
quent critic of the treaty, he indi-
cated he would have a lot to say,
‘about it when it comes up for
ratitication before the full senate
later.
Some GOP senators immediately
rallied to his support. Sen. Styles
| Bridges, R., N.H., said the Connally-
) Watkins flare- “up “sure will” pro-
long senate debate on the pact.
: Sen. Bourke B. Hicklenlooper. R.,
a, said the incident “won't short-
! en debate any.” Sen. Robert A, Taft
i declined to comment, but he al-
i ready has said he favors full dis-
, CUSSION before the senate acts on
‘eilher the pact or the corollary
arms-tor-Europe program.
. Despite the ruckus, Connally re-
_affzmed his intention of pressing
‘aor speedy action on both issues.
Be predicted that Watkins’ “Grom-
yko” would have little effect on the
, outcome. The reference was to So-
| viet Delegate Andrei Gromyko’s
‘dramatic walkout at a 1946 ses-
sion of the United Nations secur-
ity council.
Though Connally is confident of
' getting a favorable senate vote on
| the pact and the arms plan, he and
‘Sen Arthur H. Vandenberg, R.,
i Mich.. have decided to stay on the
1 ob here. rather than attend the
torthecoming big four conference on

to the Paris parley which opens

iaat they would attend the con-
| ierence later if there is an “urgent
need.” .
Connally may go before, the Dem-
ocratic policy committee later to-
day to seek a priority for the trealy
on the senate calendar. He wants

called on France today to re-

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

the two men who parachuted to
safety.
Paul Gregory, a farmer who
lives near the e6cene, said one of

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
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 US. man-in-
spacé landing as the Apollo
craft floated down through
low-hanging clouds and
dangling under three huge or-
ange and white parachutes.
‘Ev eryone’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
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 in-
side, in contrast to most
earlier US. flights when the
spacemen were lifted to the
carrier by helicopter.
Medical requirements dic-
tated 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 ac-
tivity as possible until they
can be examined in mobile
medical laboratories aboard
the Ticonderoga.
The landing completed an
historic space mission that
lasted 28 days and 50 minutes.
During that time the
spacemen circled the earth
395 times.
Misson Control was kept in
suspense for most of the final
76 minutes of the flight — a
period when the Apollo ship
was out of radio contact with
ground stations.
The Ticonderoga’s radar
picked up the streaking craft
at a distance of 188 miles, 10
minutes before landing.
While out of radio contact,
at 9:11 a.m., the astronauts
conducted the critical
retrorocket burn that slowed
their 17,100 mile-an-hour
speed by 130 miles, allowing
earth's gravity to tug the
spacecraft out of orbit and
start the long glide through
the atmosphere to the eastern
Pacific.
The refrigeration trouble
caused considerable concern.
A maneuver intended to
correct it caused a_ brief
gyroscope problem. that
caused the 10-minute delay in
the astronauts’ departure
from the orbiting laboratory.
‘We're free,’’ Conrad
reported seconds after the
control center flashed the go-
ahead for undocking from the
118-footlong laboratory.
They left behind a space
station which they had
salvaged with some daring,
difficult and often ingenious
repair tasks after it was
damaged during launching
May 14.
After the undocking, the as-
tronauts made a 45-minute
flyaround inspection of the
station, televising pictures of
the odd-looking space vehicle
to mission control for
evaluation by experts.
Then, in quick succession,
they uiggered the engine fir-
ings that gradually dropped
them closer to earth from
their original orbital altitude
of 275 miles
To get the astronauts to
medical trailers on board as
quickly’ as’ possible after
landing, the carrier was to
steam to the Apollo capsule
and hoist it on deck with a
crane,
Speed in retrieving the
astronauts is essential
because doctors are keenly
interested in their initial
reaction to carth gravity
after four weeks’ exposure to
weightlessness,
| 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. Weite 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
ti-millionmile 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.
Doctors, not knowing ae
they. might react to earth’
gravity after their long weig &
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
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
i
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 36-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
bome.
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 at
mosphere above Thailand for

Motor Company and CIO officials
meet today to attempt settlement
of a six-day-old strike against two

'total of 85,000 workers by tonight.
Reopening of negcetiations came
as Ford scheduled immediate

by next Monday.
Henry Ford II, youthful head of
the company, accepted a union of-
fer to reopen peace talks which

lations who led previous peace
efforts, would conduct company
negotiations with “the full sup-

WASHINGTON (AP) — A Re-

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

he appears before the panel.
Dean, who has said he dis-
cussed Watergate and a _ pos-
sible coverup with President
Nixon, will be the lead-off wit-
ness when the hearings resume
next week.
“I think there is a great deal
of credibility to a story that he
ls 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 Pub-
lic Television show, ‘Evening

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

nent of the committee’s deci-
sion to postpone Dean’s appear-
ance for one week last Tuesday
because of the summit confer-
ences this week between Nixon
and Soviet Communist Party
leader Leonid I. Brezhnev.
“It 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

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

WASHINGTON (AP)—President

Taylor imimediately went on the

THE HAGUE (AP) — The Inter-
national Court of Justice called on
France today to refrain from nu-
clear testing in the South Pacific
pending a final decision on the le-
gality of the test series.
By an 8-6 vote, the court ruled
that Australia and France should
not take any action in the mean-
time ‘‘which might extend the dis-
pute or prejudice the final decision
of the court."’
The court's ruling followed ap-
plications last month by Australia
and New Zeland seeking an injunc-
tion 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 hearings, would be repre-
sented at the forthcoming ses-
sions.
In their pleadings before the
court, representatives of both the
Australian and New Zealand gov-
ernments said further nuclear
tests in the South Pacific would.
present unacceptable health and
environmental dangers to the pop-
ulation of the areas concerned.
The Australian attorney general,
Lionel Murphy, said the forthcom-
ing series might be of ‘‘a size and
yield hitherto unequalled."
The people of the southern hem-
isphere ‘‘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 re-
ports last Saturday from Tahiti
Saying six French navy vessels,
known to be connected with the
tests, left there last week bound
for the Mururoa Atoll.
The Mururoa test atoll lies 750
miles Southeast of Tahiti.
| Rambouillet, France, August 2S.--
(4r--Doris Stevens, American femin-
ist leader, and three others of a group
of feminists who tried to “crash the
gates” of the presidential chateau to-
day in behalf of the equal rights move-
ment were held in custody at the po-
lice commissariat for several hours
for failure to have. their identity pa-
pers.
They were released this afternoon
after all of the statesmen who had
lunch with President Doumergve had
gone. The women had sought a ten
minute audience with the president's
guests, who, yesterday signed the
Keliogg-Briand rennneiation of war
treaty. The plan of the feminists was
to disanss with them a pr@ject for
an international treaty establishing
equal rights for men and women.
Those held over the noen hour with
Miss Stevelis were Mrs. Loring Pick-
ering, Fanny Bernand of France and
Mrs. Betty Gram Swing, formerly of
Portland, Ore., and now wife of an
English correspondent. The women
all left for Paris.
The women, members of a party of
about a dozen, appeared at the cha-
eau gate before the arrival of Secre-
tary Kellogg and others of the treaty
signers and sought to present a pe-
titien to the French president. This
read:
“Having not yet received an appont-
ment for a requested audience at
Paris with the plenipotentiaries whe
are to be your guests today, the Wo-
man’s Committee of International Ac-
= has sent its emissaries to ask a

PARIS —UPi— Four rebel French

gion paratroopers seized Algiers in
a bloodless coup today and an-«
nounced they had taken over Al-

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 Naticnal Ase
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-
ean 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-
gerin eventually to become inde-
pendent has been rising. But the
government reacted swiftly.
France canceled all military
leaves, De Gaulle ealled 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.

| WASHINGTON (AP) — The
leaders of the world’s two nu-
clear superpowers pledged in a
landmark agreement today to
regulate their relations in a
way to reduce the risk of nucle-
ar war.
President Nixon and Soviet
Communist party Secretary
Leonid I. Brezhnev reached the
accord in the fifth day of their
summit talks and prepared to
sign it at the White House be-
fore heading for California
where they will conclude their
meetings Sunday.
In addition to its application
to U.S.-Soviet relations, the
agreement applies also to the
relations of either party with
other countries. In this way, al-
though technically bilateral, the
agreement has multilateral im-
plications.
The two leaders declared in
the agreement that they were
“conscious that nuclear war
would have devastating con-
sequences for mankind’ and
said they wanted “to bring
about conditions in which the
danger of an outbreak of nucle-
ar war anywhere in the world
would be reduced and ultimate-
ly eliminated.”
They pledged their countries
to ‘‘act in such a way as to pre-
vent the development of situ-
ations capable of causing a
dangerous exacerbation of their
relations, as to avoid military
confrontations, and as to ex-
clude the outbreak of nuclear
war between them and between
either of the parties and other
countries.”
Nixon and Brezhnev also
agreed that their countries
“will refrain from the threat or
the use of force against the oth-
er party, against the allies of
the other party and against oth-
er countries, in circumstances
which may endanger _ inter-
national peace and 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-
ed an invitation to return to the
Soviet Union next year for a

| Bouldet, 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
w en he heard the verdict late yes-
te-day.. That was just an hour
short of three days from the time
the jury took the case against the
32-year old metal worker.
District Judge George Bradfield
granted the defense 30 days in
which to file for a new frial. He
delayed sentencing until! then. The
judge refused to release Walker
on his old $25,000 bail but said he
would hear a motion for a new
bond.
After the verdict Jury Foreman
William J. Morley read a statement
that the jury said this prayer be-
fore deliberations: ,
“Almighty God, help us in this
hour of deliberation. Give us wis-
dom that we may be guided to a
just and fair verdict to all con-
cerned. Let Thy spirit descend up-
ol us so that our conscience will
become Thy will. With malice to-
wards none and forethought of the
duty we are about to perform, let
us, Thy mortals, have divine guid.
ance in this deliberation. Amen.”
Morley said the Lord’s Prayer
was said by the 11 met and one
woman after the verdict: was
reached.
In Santa Monica, Calif, Walker's
wife sald she refuses “to give up
hope for Joe until after the case
has been appealed.” She termed
“very ridiculous” a question as to
whether she plans to collect the
$10,000 reward offered by the Uni-
versity of Colorado regents for the
arrest and conviction of the killer
of the 18-year old coed.
‘Walker was-arrested at their
home near here 12 days after the
slaying November % on a lonely
dover's lane. His wife told police
she was suspicious of btoodstains
in hig ear and on bis clothing.
Walker admitted dumping the
girl’s body under a bridge. But he
said a blond boy friend of Miss Fos-
ter killed her after beating Walker
unconscious. His statement was
read to the jury but he did not join
the parade of 72 witnesses to the
stand in the 15-day trial.

NEW YORK (#—Secretary Dul-
les said Wednesday night the Uni-
ited States won’t defend Chinese
'coastal islands ‘‘as such,’”’ but im-
plied it will fight if the Reds try
to seize the isles as a springboard
for conquest of Formosa.
In a major foreign policy
‘address, he declared the United
States would be alert to Chinese
Communist actions in the area,
while “rejecting for ourselves any
initiative of warlike deeds.”
At the same time he appealed
\to the Chinese Reds to reconsider
their rejection of U.N. cease-fire
talks. He suggested that the criti-
| cal issue is not their desire to
‘have Nationalist-held islands but
their use of force to get them.
“It is hardly to be expected that
the Chinese Communists will re-
nounce their ambitions,” he said.
“However, might they not re-
nounce their efforts to realize their
goals by force.”
Dulles, in addressing a dinner
of the Foreign Policy Assn., made
these other main points:
1. He rejected an idea, report-
edly favored by some British of-
ficials, that Nationalist China vol-
‘untarily surrender to the Reds all
offshore islands.
2. The recent upheaval in Mos-
cow which put Marshal Nikolai
Bulganin in the Premier’s role is
| “an elemental personal struggle
|for power” but it may also reflect
a “basic policy difference’ be-
| tween the Russian Communist par-
ty and the Soviet government. If
“Russians of stature” will put their
nation’s welfare first, instead of
subordinating it to the Communist
drive to win the world, “then in-
deed there could be a basis for
worthwhile negotiations and prac:
tical agreements” with “‘the new
Russia.”
Dulles, in his cautiously worded
address which apparently contin
ued the policy of “‘keeping the ene
my guessing,” did not mentior
Quemdéy or Matsu by name.
The United States, he said, ‘i:
firmly committed to the defense’
of Formosa and the Pescadores
the main Nationalist strongholds
This country, he added, “‘has nc
commitments and no purpose t
defend the coastal positions a:
such.”’ The words ‘‘as such” were
underlined in his prepared text
But he said the Chinese Commu
nists are treating the coastal isle:
as a means to the end of conquer
ing Formosa.

WASHINGTON (#--Secretary of
State Dulles says a power strug-
gle in Moscow eventually will pro-
duce Russian leaders with whom
the United States can make “‘prac-
fical agreements” to ease world
tensions.
He also says the Formosa crisis
ean he settled if Red China will
renounce the use of force to cap-
wre Nationalist-held islands.
* Diplomats noted that the secre-
tary’s speech last night to the For-
eign Policy Assn. in New York
was calm and peaceful in tone but
firm against spread of commu-
nism in any important new areas
of Asia.
Dulles apparently took this tone
deliberately in contrast to recent
warlike speeches by Soviet For-
eign Minister V. M. Molotov and
Red Chinese Foreign Minister
Chou En-lai. Molotey denounced
the United States. Chou threatened,
as Dulles put it, to use “‘all the
forces at his command” to cap-
ture Formosa.
As for the Formosa problem,
Dulles said the United States ‘thas
‘no commitment and no purpose’’
to defend such islands as Que-
‘moy and the Matsus ‘“‘as such.”’
But he made clear that it might
well fight over Quemoy and Matsu
if any Communist attack on them
was aimed at the conquest of Chi-
ang Kai-shek's Formosa.
Dulles appealed to the Chinese
Reds to reconsider a United Na-
‘tions Security Council bid to dis-
cuss a Formosa cease-fire.
“It ig hardly to be expected,”
he said, ‘“‘that the Chinese Com-
-munists will-renounce their ambi-
tions. However, might they not re-
‘nounce their efforts to realize their
goals by force?”
Discussing the Russian situation,
he said a distinction must always
-be made between the Soviet gov-
‘ernment and the Communist party.
“The time may come—I believe
it will come,” he said, “when Rus-
sians of stature will patriotically
put first their national security and
the welfare of their people.
“They will be unwilling to have
that security and that welfare sub-
ordinated to the worldwide am-
bitions of international commu:

Washington, May 10 —(?)— If the
little guy, any little guy on this
10th day of May, 1949, wet his
finger and held it up to see which
way the wind was blowing. He
couldn't tell.
High in the sky he saw a bird
flying. ‘‘The dove cf peace— may-
be, maybe,’’ he said to himself.
He wanted to think it was. He
couldn't be sure. He trudged along,
eyes ‘straight ahead.
Russia and the West were going
bto end the Berlin . blockade and
talk of settling things. But they
had been talking of that off and
on since the war and things hadn't
been settled yet.
Knowing the nature of man, he
couldn’t be sure they ever would
be and he thought: ‘‘I wonder if
they'll be settled in my lifetime or
anybody’s lifetime, now or here-
after.’’
He didn’t feel blue or gay or
happy or depressed. He was living
from day to day, wondering about
Pnext week and next year, hoping
he could just live out his life quiet-
ly.
But deep tides were running all
over the earth, tides of people and
ideas, changing the lives § and
ways of people, tides that were
lapping closer to the shores of the
world he lived in.
In China communism was rolling
over 450,000,000 people, over 190,-
000,000 people in Russia and _ Si-
beria, over more millions in East-
ern Europe, trying to get through
Mthe edges of Western Europe.
And here and in Western Europe
people were banding together tc
build dikes of steel and planes and
men in uniform to stop the eastern
tides,
And while the tides moved and
the dikes were being built the
statesmen in their natty humbug
hats were getting ready to sit
down together to find some way of
living side by side without ex-
plosions.
What would happen in the end,
he didn’t know, since he wasn’t a
prophet himself and didn't know
anyone who was, although plenty
of brash characters bob up, claim-
ing to know truths, present and fu-
ture.
Bui struggle, struggle, struggle.
He had read in books that man
is an animal and struggles to sur-
vive and this is a natural thing.
But couldn't they struggle without
eating one another? All he wanted
was less shoving.
Even here at home, the strug-
gle. But here it was a struggle of
words between Democrats and Re-
‘publicans in congress, arguments,
wrangling, denunciations, politick-
ing, promises of ‘I can do it bet-
ter."’ Show me, the little guy
thought.
The little guy ambled along,
thinking suddenly of ‘‘Lippy’’ Du-
rocher of the Giants and he began
to grim:
‘‘People go to baseball games to
have a good time, and even there
there’s struggle. Think of all the
scrapes Lippy’s been in. And the
fans pay -their good money so they
can call people names.”’

dent Kennedy, handed to E. L.
Freers, U.S. charge d'affaires.
Khrushchev was replying to a
communication several days ago
from Kennedy.
Tass Report
As distributed by Tass, the So-
viet mews agency, the Khrush-
chev statement referred to a Ken-
nedy statement that rockets that
might be used against the United
States could be stationed in Cuba,
with the inference that this posed
problems for the United States in
relation to the whole Western
hemisphere.
“Mr. President, you are follow-
ing a very dangerous path,”
Khrushchev said. “Ponder that.”
The Soviet premier went on to
mention the situation in the Far
East. He contended the United
States had seized Formosa, and
said this started the United States
“on the road of plunder.”
Formosa Issue
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 Taiwon (Formosa) be-
longs to China,” Khrushchev said,
The premier continued:
» “You may, of course, express
your sympathies for the imperial-
ist and colonialist countries, and
this will not surprise anyone. For:
instance, you vote with them in
the United Nations.
“This is a matter of your mo-
rality. But what has been done
against Cuba is no_ longer
morality. This is gangsterism.”
Khrushchev said the United
Nations must denounce these ac-
tions.
“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.
“We, for our part, do not hold
such views,” he continued,

PARIS (UPI) — Four rebel
French generals supported by
Foreign Legion paratroopers
seized Algiers in a bloodless coup
today and announced they had
taken over Algeria and the
Sahara 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 violence was re-
ported in France itself.
A bomb exploded in a telephone
booth of the tewn hall of the
fashionable Neuilly = district of
Paris just west of the Arch of
Triumph. Police said it caused
considerable damage but appar
ently no casualties.
The bomb was of the type used
by right-wing extremists in past
terrorism against the De Gaulle
government. Police noted that
Neuilly Mayor Achille Perretti is
a Gaullist deputy of the National
Assembly
The insurgent generals broad-
cast a seven - point order of the
day proclaiming a state of siege
and saying “all resistance, from
whatever quarter, will be brok-
en.’ The proclamation was a
declaration of a virtual state of
martial law
The insurgent army and = 4air
force generals in Algiers § an
nounced over Algiers radio — re. .
named “Radio France’ — that
they had proclaimed a state of
siege throughout the African ter.
ritory. 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
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 Gen. Jean
Olie as new commander.-in-chief
in Algeria to replace Gen.
Fernand Gambiez who was arrest-
ed by the insurgents. Olie flew
immediately to Algeria.
The revolt was reported led by
Gen. Raoul Salan, the general
who led a 1958 revolt which
brought down the Fourth Republic
and brought De Gaulle to power
Foreign diplomatic sources said
they did not believe this revolt
would topple De Gaulle
The government in Paris said
the revolt affected Algiers only
and the rest of the country was
loyal to De Gaulle. The French
commanders in Oran and Con
stantine issued calls for calm in
an indication they still supported
De Gaulle
It was still too early to know
the effect on peace negotiations
with the Moslem rebels who have
fought France for 6's years. Mos
lem rebel leader Ferhat Abbas, in
Tunis, appealed to Moslems in
Algeria to “oppose the provoca
tions of the French army.”

seven electors,
States Ho Claims.
Raskob, who will confer heta
with democratic leaders of eight
middle western states before pro-
ceeding to Hot Springs Wednesday
night, claimed for Governor Smith
the solid south, including Kentucky,
Tennessee and Oklahoma; New
York, New. Jersey, Rhode Island,
Wisconsin, Arizona, Colerado, Mary-
land, Massachusetts, Minnesota,
Montana, Nebraska, Missouri, New
Mexico and Nevada.
There seemed little doubt, Ras-
kob said, that Connecticut, Dela-
ware, Indiana, North Dakota, South
Dakota and Wyoming should he
classified for Smith, These. states,
however, were set apart: in the
statement from the list of states
which he sald “any prudent busi-
‘ness man would at this time claa-
sify for Smith.” .
Accompanying Raskob were Mrs.
Franklin D. Roosevelt, in charge of
women’s activities for Smith; Mrs.
John A, Warner, daughter of the
presidential nominee; Jouett
Shouse of Kansas, former assistant
secretary of the treasurer and now
& member of the adylsory commit-
tee of the democratic national com-
mittee; United States Senator Peter
G. Gerry of Rhole Island, chairman
of the advisory committee; and
Mrs, Nellie Tayloe Ross, former

Hawes Meets Party.
Senator Harry B, Hayes, chair-
man of the central regional divi-
sion headquarters of the demo-

from eight states in the central
western district will meet with Ras-
kob In separate state conferences
Tuesday and Wednesday. The
states are Missourl, Kansas, Okla-
homa, Nebraska, Kentucky, Ten-
nessee, Illinoia and Iowa.
Of the eight states Raskob laid
claim to Missouri, Kentucky, Ten-
nessee and Oklahoma and placed
the others in the category of bat-
tle ground for the electoral votes.
Raskob said business *is Hot
afraid of Smith and that it has ‘ho
need to fear. He said the repub-
lican “full dinner pail argument”
would not avail in the present
campaign. In New York, Raskob
added, the business element has the
utmost confidence in Smith and are
fully aware that no legitimate in-
dustry would suffer by his election.
Raskob's Forecast.

ABOARD USS TICONDEROGA (AP)—Skylab’s
astronauts came safely home from man’s longest space
journey today, splashing down with pinpoint preci-
sion in the Pacific Ocean after 28 days and 11 million
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 the- Ticonderoga, just 61%
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
determining if man can fune-
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. Bu
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 execuled 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 whiteclad sail-
ors on deck and millions watch-
ing 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 waler awaiting
pickup. Frogmen immediately
leaped from helicopters to se-
cure the spacecraft with flota-
tion 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 earlicr U.S.
flights when the spacemen
were lifted to the carrier by
heiicopier. .
Medical requirements @ic-
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. astronauls
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 Iast-
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.

| 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.

| i WASHINGTON — President
<ennedy meets with former Pres-
ident Dwight D. Eisenhower to-
day in an evident hid to rally
strong national support for criti-
cal steps which he may consider
mecessary to deal with the in-
creasingly dangerous Cuban cri-

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
Russia.
Before flying to Camp David by
‘helicopter Kennedy bad a sched-
uied meeting with the National
Security Council, presumably to
discuss possible fulure moves
against the pro-Communist gov-
ernment of Cuba in the wake of
this week'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 defeat of
the rebel invasion attempt which
began last weekend with the Unit-
ed States’ moral support — and,
it was generally believed here,
with some backing of U. S. mon-
ey 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 weil as possible
errors in intelligence.
