ABOARD USS
TICONDEROGA (AP) —
Skylab’s astronauts came home
salely from man’s longest space
Journey today and despite some
early dizziness and
lightheadedness. they were
pronounced in excellent physical
condition.
Charles Conrad Jr.. Dr
Joseph P. Kerwin and Paul J
Weitz shunned stretchers to walk
smartly but unsteadily across the
deck of this recovery carrier.
The wobbly 60 steps from the
Apollo ferry ship to a medicat
laboratory indicated the
astronauts had suffered some m-
Itial effects in gravity after a
record four weeks’ exposure to
space weightlessness.
But commander Conrad
reported as the Apollo
parachuted toward a pinpoint
landing in the Pacific after an 11-
million-mile journey “We're all
in good shape Everything's
OK
Dr. Royce Hawkins. the
astronauts’ chief physician, con-
tirmed this after consulting with
doctors on the carrier. He told
newsmen at the Houston Space
Center.
“They look quite good. They
appear far better than I
expected. They're excellent.”
Hawkins said Conrad. a
veteran of three previous space
thghts. was in the best condition.
with normal blood pressure and
pulse and only slight
lightheadedness.
He said both Kerwin and
Weitz suffered from dizziness
and lightheadedness and that
Weitz blood pressure at first
was on the low side.
After splashdown Kerwin
blew up an inflatable suit over
the lower part of his body to help
increase blood circulation.
Hawkins said.
The astronauts splashed down
right on target. just 6'2 miles
from the Ticonderoga.
Thurty-nine minutes later. still
inside the Apollo. they were on
the carrier deck.
Doctors, not knowing how
they might react to earth's gravi-
ty atter their long weightless
exposure. were prepared to lift

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 shghtly stooped and both he
and Weitz were somewhat un-
steadv in thetr steps.
Doctors assisted both Kerwin
and Weitz by holding onto one
arm of each.
Experts immediately began
removing thousands of feet of
tilm and tape and equipment
from medical. earth resources
and astronomy experiments that
may tell man much about his
earth. his sun and his physical
being
How well Conrad. Kerwin and
Weitz tared in the weightless
world will play a major role in
determining if man can function
etticrently 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 im 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 betund schedule.
Conrad. Kerwin and Weitz un-
docked their Apollo ferry sup
and executed a series of
maneuvers that sent them slam-
mung into the atmosphere above
Thailand for the fiery descent.
The Apollo cratt hit the calm
blue waters at 950 am EDT
about $30 mules southwest of San
Diego, Calif [t was just atter

Conrad said as the spacecratt
bobbed on the water awaiting

leaped trom helicopters to
secure the spacecratt with tlota-
tion collars
The Ticonderoga reported the
astronauts had landed 612 miles
trom the ship and that the ship
was 6'2 miles trom the target

pick up the Apollo capsule with
the astronauts still mside. in con-
trast to most earlier U.S tlights

Medical requirements dictated
the pick up method today
Medical experts were not cer-
tain how the astronauts would
react alter returning to earth »
gravity following record
exposure to space weightlessness
so they decided the astronauts
should be subjected to as little
activity as possible until they can
be examined in mobile medical
laboratories aboard the

historic space mission that lasted
28 days and 50 minutes. During
that time the spacemen circled

WASHINGTON (AP) — The
leaders of the world’s two nuclear
superpowers pledged in a land-
mark agreement today to
regulate their relations in a way
to reduce the risk of nuclear war.
President Nixon and Soviet
Communist party Secretary
Leonid I. Brezhnev reached the
accord in the fifth day of their
summit talks and prepared to
sign it at the White House before
heading for California where they
will conclude their meetings
Sunday.
In addition to its application to
U.S.-Soviet relations, the
agreement applies also to the
relations of either party with
other countries. In this way, al-
though technically bilateral, the
agreement has multilateral im-
plications.
The two leaders declared in the
agreement that they were
“conscious that nuclear war
would have devastating con-
sequences for mankind” and said
they wanted ‘‘to bring about
conditions in which the danger of
an outbreak of nuclear war
anywhere in the world would be
reduced and ultimately
eliminated.”
They pledged their countries to
“act in such a way as to prevent
the development of situations
capable of causing a dangerous
exacerbation of uheir relations,
as to avoid military con-
frontations, and as to exclude the
outbreak of nuclear war between
them and between either of the
parties and other countries.”
Nixon and Brezhnev also
agreed that their countries ‘‘will
refrain from the threat or the use
of force against the other party,
against the allies of the other
party and against other coun-
tries, in circumstances which
may endanger international
peace and security.”
At a news conference prior to
the formal signing, presidential
assistant Henry A. Kissinger
skirted questions on whether this
clause would forbid U.S. bombing
of Cambodia or would have
prevented the Sovict invasion o!
Czechoslovakia.
Kissinger noted, however, that
U.S. air strikes against Com.
munist forces in Cambodia were
under way at the time the
agreement was being negotiatec
and that the bombing ‘was no
raised as applying to that par
ticular situation.”
When a newsman askec
whether the agreement woulc
forestall any Soviet actior
against China, Kissinger re
sponded that the accord was ‘‘no
conceived as protection for an
country” but added it woul
“have the practical consequencs
of applying to the situation yot
described.”
The two leaders popped a
surprise in their banquet toasts,
disclosing that Brezhnev had
‘extended and Nixon had accepted
an invitation to return to the
Soviet Union next year for a third
summit in as many years.
The reunion could provide a
forum for the signing of a treaty
placing permanent limits, and
possibly calling for reductions, of
the two nations’ offensive nuclear
weapons,
Later today, Nixon and
Brezhnev were scheduled to fly to
the President’s San Clemente,
Calif., home.
| BERLIN, May 10 (UP)—Rus
sian authorities began lifting the
Berlin blockade 40 hours before

WASHINGTON, Aug. 2&.—Wha!
will the senate do is the ‘question
which interests Washington, now
that the Kellogg-Briand peace
treaty has been signed.
The answer to it at this time is
that there appears to be no reason
why the pact should not. be rati-
fied promptly but this view is qual-
ified with the admonition that many
things can happen in international
and domestic affairs before next
winter to change the current out-
look.
The administration is expected to
put the full force of its prestige be-
hind the treaty when it is present-
ed to the senate.
Senator Borah, chairman of the
senate foreign relations committee.
is credited with. having been fully
informed while negotiations for tné
treaty were in progress and thus to
have been given the opportunity to
present any objections he may have
had. His full support, therefore, ia
counted upon by-the administration.
Few senators have expressed
themselves upon. the subject but as
Washington looks upon the ques-.
tion, partisan political considera ~
tions may be greatly subordinated
inasmuch as the presidential cam-.
paign will be so much water over
the dam by the time ratification is
requested.
The fact that ‘the treaty appears
to Impose no obligation upon this
country other than to renounce war.
as an. instrument of national pol-:
icy, is held in Washington to be a
factor arguing for senate approval.
In addition, both major political
parties have indorsed efforts to
bring peaceful” ‘adjudication of in-.
ternational disputes to--fualfillment. -

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
week, was personally directing
mop-up operations in the interior
against the surviving rebel invad-
ers who are trying to overthrow
his proCommunist regime.

Washington, March 7.—(A, P.)—
President Hoover Friday accepted
the resignation of Alexander Legge,
|
of Chicago, as chairman of the fed-
eral farm board, and appointed
James C€. Stone, of Kentucky, to
succeed him.
In making the announcement
President Hoover said he knew he
reflected “the view of the agricul-
tural community when I express in-
tense regret upon the retirement of
Mr. Legge.
The vacancy created by the ele-
vation of Stone to the chairman-
ship will not be filled for two or
three weeks, the president said.
“Chairman Legg has been urged
by every farm organization in the
United States to continue his work,”
the president said, “and I have
urged him with all the force I
coould command. He, however, feels
that he must go back to his busi-
ness.”
The retiring farm board chairman
came into office nearly two years
ago and has been a storm center

| BERLIN, May 10—(UP)—rnmus-
sian authorities began lifting the
Berlin blockade 40 hours before
the deadline today when they re-
stored electric power to parts of
the Western sectors.
The Soviet action gave Am-
erican sector housewives un-
rationed electricity in the mid-
dle of the morning for the
first time since power rationing
was forced upon Western Ber-
lin by the Soviet blockade last
July 9.
Radios played and electric stoves
glowed as the power flowed into
American sector lines from the
Soviet sector. All of Berlin’s major
power generating stations are in
the Soviet sector.
German electric power authorities
said the restoration of electricity to
the Western sectors would take
place gradually.
Full service, such as existed be-
fore the Russians cut off the power
during the first weeks of thei
blockade, will not be effected until
some time Thursday, they said.
Restoraticl. of power was startec
40 hours before the official time set
for ending the blockade-—12:01 a
m. Thursday (4:01 p. m, CST Wed-
nesday).
Western authorities meanwhile
instructed Lord Mayor Ernst Reu-.
ter to iit Allied counter-blockadt
measures against the Soviet zone a
the same time.
At that minute the first of 1
Allied trains a day will begin t
roll into Berlin for the first tim
since the Russians cut off all sur
face transportation 11 months ago
The number of trains a day wa
set under an order by Gen. Vas
sily C. Chuikov, New Soviet mili
tary corimander, providing tha
traffic regulations between the Eas
and West zones return to the statu
of March 1, 1948.
The 16 trains will supply the
Western sectors with about
10,000 tons a day, somewhat
less than the Anglo-American
airlift achieved at its highest
point.
All freight and passengers on th
trains will be passed without re
striction. However, the Russiar
still will retain the privilege ©
licensing freight shipments goin
Westward out of Berlin.
The Western mark, however, sti
will be banned in the Soviet zon
“nending the decision of the que:
tion of currency in Berlin.”
The four-lane superhighway t
Berlin from the Western zones wi
be opened at the same time as th

Washington, Aug, 28..—(4)—What
will the senate do is the question
which interests Washington, now
that the Kellogg-Briand peace treaty
has been signed. * |
\t this time there appears to be
no reason why the pact should
not be ratified promptly but many
things can happen in international
ind domestic affairs before next
winter to change 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 the
full foree of its prestige behind the
treaty when it is presented to the
senate. The capitol view @ that
ihere undoubtedly will be opposi-
tion from some quarters but that the
treaty will have - many important
friends, esac |
Borah Important. — |
Senator Borah seems certain to be
in the latter group. As chairman of
the senate foreign relations commit-
tee, he will be a key man in Presi-
dent Coolidge’s request for ratifica-
tion. The senator is credited with
having been fully informed while ne-
gotiations for the treaty were in
progress and thus to have been giv-
en the opportunity to present any
objections he may have had. His
full support, therefore, is ‘counted
upon by the administration.
What serious objections, if any,
the members of the senate would
bring up to block the consent which
is necessary to make the treaty
binding upon the United States, is at
this time not altogether clear since
few senators have expressed them-
selves. As Washington looks upon
the question, however, partisan po-
litical considerations may be greatly
subordinated inasmuch as the presi-
dential campaign will be so much
water over the dam by the time rati-
fieation is requested.
Arguments for Treaty.
The simple language in which the
treaty is phrased, the success of
Secretary Kellogg in barring pro-
visions likely to be objectionable to
the American isolationist, and the
fact that the treaty appears to im-
pose no obligation upon this country
other than toe renounce war as an
instrument of national policy, are
held in Washington to be factors
arguing for senate approval. In ad-
(ition, beth major political parties
have indorsed efforts to bring peace-
ful adjudication of international dis-
pites to fulfillment.
Paris, Aug. 28.—(/P)—The_ effect
ef the signing of the Kellogg-Briand
war renunciation treaty was appar-
ent today. Nations in various parts
of the world had announced their de-
‘re to become parties of the pact.
The original signatures were still

edherence by other countries began

which interests Washington, now
that the Kellogg-Briand peace

The answer to it at this time is
that there appears to be no reason
why the pact should not. be rati-
fied promptly but this view is qual-
ified with the admonition that many
things can happen in international
and domestic affairs before next

The administration is expected to

WASHINGTON, Mar. 7 (AP)
-~Oliver Wendell Holmes, as-
sociate justice of the supreme
court, makes his debut as a radio
speaker Sunday, Mareh &—his
#0th birthday.
In his second floor study today
workmen tiptoed about installing
a microphone. There is not even
a radio set in the house. One will
be connected after the micro-
phone is put in,
The speech by the oldest man
ever to serve one the supreme
bench, is the first public notice
he has taken of a birthday.
They have been events for a
long time to those about him.
For years a deluge of requests
from newspapermen for inter-
views and a series of plans by ad-
mirers for public demonstrations
have preceded each anniversary.
The newspapermen got no fur-
ther than his secretary and the
admirers are always’ forced to
bow to his pronounced distaste of
publie eulogies.
There is no trigidity and little
austerity in his consistent aver-
sion to publicity and display.
Court members in getting to the
bottom of cases before them often
ask counsel penetrating and
sharp questions. Many a lawyer
retains an affectionate memory of
Justice Holmes as he leaned for-
ward with a friendly smile and
helped the barrister out of legal
morass with a suggestion,
His friends say his logical mind
can see no reason for a fanfaron-
ade over birthdays. His conces-
sion on his 90th anniversary is
regarded as reluctant yielding to
the desire of sincere friends to
honor him.
The radio program in his hon-

| 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.

WASHINGTON (AP) — The
leaders of the world’s two nuclear
superpowers pledged in a Jand-
mark agreement today to
regulate their relations in a way
to reduce the risk of nuclear war.
President Nixon and Soviet
Communist party Secretary
Leonid I. Brezhnev reached the
accord in the fifth day of their
summit talks and prepared to
Sign it at the White House before
heading for California where they
will conclude their meetings
Sunday.
In addition to its application to
U.S.-Soviet relations, the
agreement applies also to the
relations of either party with
other countries. In this way,
although technically bilateral,
the agreement has multilateral
implications.
The two leaders declared in the
agreement that they were
“conscious that nuclear war
would have devastating con-
sequences for mankind” and said
they wanted “to bring about
conditions in which the danger of
an outbreak of nuclear war
anywhere in the world would be
reduced and ultimately
eliminated.”
They pledged their countries to
“act in such a way as to prevent
the development of situations
capable of causing a dangerous
exacerbation of their relations,
as to avoid military con-
frontations, and as to exclude the
outbreak of nuclear war between
them and between either of the
parties and other countries,”
Nixon and Brezhnev also
agreed that their countries ‘will
refrain from the threat or the use
of force against the other party,
against the allies of the other
party and against other coun-
tries, in circumstances which
May endanger international
peace and security.”
Al a news conference prior to
the formal signing, presidential
assistant Henry A. Kissinger
skirted questions on whether this
clause would forbid U.S. bombing
of Cambodia or would have
prevented the Soviet invasion of
Czechoslovakia.
Kissinger noted, however, that
US. air strikes against Com-
munist forces in Cambodia were
under way at the time the
agreement was being negotiated
and that the bombing “was not
raised as applying to that par-
ticular situation.”
When a newsman asked
whether the agreement would
forestall any Soviet action
against China, “Kissinger
responded that the accord was
“not conceived as protection for
any country" but added it would
“have the practical consequence
of applying to the situation you

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

President Kennedy meets
with former President
Dwight D. Eisenhower to-
day in an evident bid to
rally strong national sup-
port for critical steps which
he may consider necessary
to deal with the increasing-
ly dangerous Cuban crisis.
A White House announcement
of the session—at Camp David,
‘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.
Council Meets
Before flying to Camp David
by helicopter Kennedy met with
the. National Security Council,
presumably to discuss possible
future ‘iioves ‘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. S.
money and arms.
The President was understood
to be concerned about what some
authorities called a failure to cal-
culate accurately in advance the
strength of Prime Minister Fidel
Castro’s military reaction to the
rebel assault as weil as possible
errors in intelligence.
White House news secretary
Pierre Salinger disclosed Friday
night that Kennedy and Eisen-
hower would meet, at Camp Da-
vid, the Catoctin Mountain re-
treat near Gettysburg, Pa., which
Eisenhower used for conferences
with foreign leaders.
Call to Ike
The President arranged the
luncheon session in a telephone
call to Eisenhower Friday morn-
ing. The former chief executive
was at his Gettysburg farm.. _
Salinger said Kennedy wanted
to bring Eisenhower up to date
on the Cuban situation, believing
that ‘‘as leader of the Republi-
can party and as former presi-
dent he should know what the sit-
uation is.”

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 weight-
less exposure, were prepared to
lift them out on litters.
But, after consultation with
doctors, Kerwin, a physician,
said they could walk to the
medical trailer where they be-
gan six hour's 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.
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 6'2 miles
from the ship and that the ship
was 6'» miles from the target
point, indicating a perfect
touchdown.
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 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.
| ABOARD USS_ TICONDE-
ROGA (AP) — Skylab’s astro-
nauts came home safely from
‘man’s longest space journey to-
day and despite some early diz-
ziness and lightheadedness,
they were pronounced in ex-
cellent physical conditon.
Charles Conrad Jr., Dr. Jo-
seph P. Kerwin and Paul J.
Weitz shunned stretchers to
walk somewhat unsteadily
across the deck of this recovery
carrier.
The wobbly 60 steps from the
Apollo ferry ship to a medical
laboratory indicated the astro-
nauts had suffered some initial
effects in gravity after a record
four weeks’ exposure to space
weightlessness.
But commander Conrad re-
ported as the Apollo parachuted |
toward a pinpoint landing in
er Be ws after an 11-million-
journey: “‘We’re all in
pra? shape. Everything’s OK.”
The astronauts almost were
held over in orbit to try to re-
pair a refrigeration problem in
their space station. But Mission
Control decided there was noth-
ing the astronauts could do and
told them to come home.
So, 10 minutes behind sched-
ule, Conrad, Dr. Joseph P. Ker-
win and Paul J. Weitz un-
docked their Apollo ferry ship
from the station and executed a
series of maneuvers that sent
them slamming into the atmos-
phere above Thailand for a
fiery descent.
The Apollo craft hit the calm
Pacific waters at 8:50 a.m.
CDT about 830 miles southwest
of San Diego, Calif., within:
sight of the main recovery ship,
the USS Ticonderoga. It was
just after dawn off the West
Coast.
Hundreds of white-clad 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
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 se-
cure the spacecraft with flota-
tion collars.
The Ticonderoga reported the
astronauts had landed 612 miles
from the ship and that the ship
was 6% miles from the target
point, indicating a perfect
touchdown,
The Ticonderoga steamed to
| pick up the Apollo capsule with
the astronauts still inside, in
contrast to most earlier U. S.
flights when the spacemen
were lifted to the carrier by
helicopter.
Medical requirements dic-
tated the pick up method today.
Medical experts were not cer-
tain how the astronauts would
react after returning to earth’s
gravity following record ex-
‘posure in 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.
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
8:11 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

lem that caused the 10-minute

ABOARD USS: TICONDEROGA
(AP) — Skylab’s astronauts came
safely home from man’s longest
space journey today, splashing down
with pinpoint precision in the Pacific
Ocean after 28 days and 11 million
miles in orbit.
Just 39 minutes after touchdown,
Charles Conrad Jr., Dr. Joseph P.
Kerwin and Paul J. Weitz were
hoisted onto the deck of the recovery
carrier, U.S.S. Ticonderoga still in-
side their Apollo ferry ship.
“We're all in good shape. Every-
thing's OK." commander Conrad
radioed as the spacecraft descended.
Ten minutes later they climbed
through the hatch, smiled and waved
as the ship's band played ‘Anchors
Aweigh’ for the all-Navy Skylab
crew.
They walked unsteadily toward a
mobile medical laboratory, showing
some effects from the four weeks’
exposure to weightlessness.
How well thev fared in the weight-
less world will determine if man can
function efficiently in future long-
duration flights. The first of the two
56-day Skylab missions is scheduled
for launch July 27.
The astronauts almostwere held
over in orbit today to try to repair a
refrigeration problem in their space
station. But Mission Control decided
there was nothing the astronauts
could do and told them to come
home.
Ten minutes behind schedule,
Conrad, Kerwin and Weitz executed
a series of maneuvers that sent them
slamming into the atmosphere above
Thailand for the fiery descent.
The Apollo craft under three huge
parachutes hit the calm blue waters
at 8:50 a.m. Waukesha time about
830 miles southwest of San Diego,

The Ticonderoga quickly steamed
alongside the three-ton Apollo and
tossed a line to frogmen in the water.
A crane then lifted the craft and the
astronauts.
Hundreds of white-clad sailors on
deck and millions watching televi-
sion around the world again had a
ringside seat to a U.S. man-in-space

The Ticonderoga reported the as-
tronauts had landed 6'2» miles from

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 Pacifc
Ocean after 28 days and 11 ml-
lion miles in orbit.
“We're all in good shape,”
Cammander 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 ur
docked their Apollo ferry ship
from the station and executed a
series of maneuvers that sent
them slamming into the atmos-
phere above Thailand for a
fiery descent.
The Apollo craft hit the calm
Pacific waters at 9:50 a.m.
TDT about 830 miles southwest
of San Diego, Calif., within
sight of the main recovery ship,
the USS Ticonderoga. It was
just after dawn off the West
Coast.
Hundreds of white-clad sail-
ors on deck and millions watch-
ing television around the werld
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
pwkup. Frogmen immediately
leaped from helicopters to se-
cure the spacecraft with flota-
ton collars.
The Ticonderoga reported the
astronauts had landed 64 miles
from the ship and that the ship
was 644 miles from the target
point, indicating a perfect
touchdown.
The Ticonderoga steamed to
pick up the Apollo capsule with
the astronauts still inside, in

(UPI) — Skylab’s astronauts landed on
target in the Pacific Ocean today and
reported they were in ‘“‘super shape”’
after a fiery, strenuous return to earth
from a record 28 days in space.
It was a flawless end to a mission that
started with a failure, and the flight took
a major step toward giving man a place
in space.
Charles ‘Pete’ Conrad, Joseph P.
Kerwin and Paul J. Weitz came back in
the Apollo command ship they took off
in four weeks ago. Their space station
remained in orbit, ready for its next
crew in five weeks.
Recovery forces and controllers back
at Houston’s mission control waited
anxiously for more than a half hour
between the time the ship’s main
braking rocket fired and Conrad
reported, “‘everything’s okay,’’ while
the ship was still in the air.
The capsule’s small drogue
parachutes and then its three orange
and white striped main canopies
blossomed out on schedule and eased
the astronauts into the calm sea at 9:50
a.m. EDT within view of a television
camera aboard this veteran aircraft
carrier. )
“Everybody’s in super shape,’’ said
Conrad, the veteran commander of
America’s first space station.
The ship reported the astronauts
landed precisely on target, 843 miles
southwest of San Diego. The Ticon-
deroga was 6% 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 15 inches in
diameter.
It was the first time an Apollo had
been hoisted aboard a recovery ship
with its crewmen still inside. This was
done for the Skylab recovery because
doctors wanted the pilots picked up with
as little exertion as possible.
The cone-shaped capsule was placed
on an elevator deck, 25 feet above the
water, at 10:28 a.m., a fast 38 minutes
after splashdown.
‘“‘We’ve all got our seat belts fastened
so hoist us right up,”’ said Conrad, a
Navy captain, as the line was hooked to
a loop at the top of the command ship.
Before leaving the spacecraft, Ker-
win, America’s first space physician,
took his own and then the pulse rate and
blood pressure of his colleagues to
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.

DALLAS, Tex. (AP) — Texas
poultry growers are destroying
baby chicks and eggs because
they say they cannot afford to
raise broiler chickens under the
current federal price freeze.
One South Texas producer
says his growers will have de-
stroyed 200,000 chickens by the
end of this week.
“There’s nothing left to do
but drown them,” said T.C.
Moore, president of Home
Foods of Nixon, Tex.
Moore said he lost $72,000 on
poultry last week. Broilers cost
45 to 50 cents a pound to raise,
and bring only 40 or 41 cents at
market, he said.
Moore and = other Texas
poultrymen say that President
Nixon’s latest 60-day price
freeze on retail food products
has left them unable to meet
rising feed grain prices. Feed
grains, a raw agricultural com-
modity, were not covered by
the freeze.
Texas ranked sixth in U.S.
broiler production last year, ac-
cording to Bill Cawley, poultry
specialist for the Texas A&M
University Extension Service.
Cawley says that about 200 mil-
lion chickens were produced in
Texas in 1972.
Cawley says that official
State statistics on eggs set for
hatching show a sharp decline
since the price freeze. The lat-
est figures, for the week of
June 16, were down 14 per cent
from last year and 10 per cent
from the previous week.
Gene Biddle, president of
Rite-Care Poultry Co. of Te-
naha, Tex., said he is destroy-
ing hatching eggs to reduce his
weekly output by more than 15
per cent.
“There is no way we can pro-
duce broilers at current feed
price levels,” Biddle said.
Bo Pilgrim of Pittsburgh,
Tex., a major poultry dis-
tributor to the Dallas-Fort
Worth area, says he is cutting
back 100,000 broilers per week,
or about 13 per cent of produc-
tion.
Feed grain prices have dou-
bled in the past year, the
poultrymen say. Soybeans cost
about $100 a ton last year but
are now more than $400 a ton,
Biddle said. The price of corn
has doubled.
A severe shortage could oc-
cur in 8 to 12 weeks, when the
eggs and chicks now being de-
stroyed would have been ready
for market, the growers say.

claimed the army had taken over
Algeria and the Sahara Deseri
from President Charles de

The insurgents announced over

claimed a “state of siege”
throughout Algeria. The generals
appealed to the army, navy, air
force and police to join them.
The French government imme-
diately canceled all military
leaves,
The bloodless coup d'etat ap-
parently was led by Gen. Raoul
Salan, a former French comman-
der in Algeria. The African ‘ter.
ritory was reported calm in the
early hours of the revolt.
At least 2,000 and perhaps a:
many as 6,000 troops of the For.

also claimed the support of troop:

The bomb was of lhe type
used by right-wing extremists
in past terrorism against the
de Gaulle government. Police
noted that Neuilly Mayor
Achille Perretit is a Gaullist
deputy of the national as-
sembly.
THE INSURGENT generals
broadcast a seven-point order
of the day proclaiming a state
of slege and saying “all resist-
ance, from whatever quarter,
wil] be broken.” The proclama-
tion Was a declaration of a vir-
tual state of martia} law.
The insurgent army and air
force generals in Algiers an-
nounced over Algiers radio—
renamed “Radio France--that
they had proclaimed a state of
siege throughout the African
territory, The generals ap-
pealed to the army, navy, air
force and pollee to jain them.
De Gaulle apparently was
taken completely by surprise,
although opposition among
Frenchmen in Algiers to his
policy of permitting Algeria
eventually to become inde.
pendent has been rising, But
the government reacted
swiftly,
France canceled ali mili-
tary leaves. De Gaulle called
a cabinet meeting to consider
further action and conferred
during the day with Debre
and Adm. Georges Cabainer,
chief of staff of the French
navy. Debre named Gen.
Jean Qlie as new commander:
in-chief in Algeria to replace
Gen. Fernand Gambiez who
was arrested by the insur
gents, Olle flew immediately
to Algeria.
THE REVOLT was reportec
led by Gen. Raoul Salan, the
general who led a 1958 revol
which brought down — thé
Fourth Republic and brought
de Gaulle to power. Forelgn
diplomatic sources sald they
did not believe this revolt
would topple de Gaulle.
The government in Paris
said the revolt affected Al-
giers only and the rest of the
country was loyal to De
Gaulle. The French com-
manders in Oran and Con-
stantine {ssued calls for cairn
in an indication they still sup-
ported de Gaulle.
Debre’s broadcast to the na-
tion appealed to the armed
forces ta put loyalty to the
country above all. It said the
irresponsible insurgents in Al-
giers had “thus imposed on
France a new trial but the na-
tion places its confidence in”
de Gaulle and his peace plans.
“I appeal to you not to
throw yourselves into an ad-
‘venture that can only end in
tragedy,” Debre said,
Lt was stiil too early to know

Leader Ferhat Abbas, in

‘eatlons of the French army.”

‘Taieb Bouiharof said in
Rome it was “too early ta give

wing demonstrations, The
Neuilly district is just west of

Police in the south French

generals supported’ by Foreign Le-
gion paratroopers seized Algiers in
a bloodless coup today and an-«

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

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

a state of siege throughout the Afri-
ean territory. The generals appealed
to the army, navy, air force and po-

De Gaulle apparently was taken
completely by surprise, although
opposition among Frenchmen in Al«

government reacted swiftly.

An anti- Castro ‘radio broadcast from an island off Cen-
tral 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 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 Island and
Warth Ameries had misled them.
The Swan Island broad-
cast, monitored by The As-
sociated Press in Miami, Fla.,
also repeated troop move-
ment instructions it had sent
out during the night.
It had told earlier of new small
jJandings 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 atrests and deten-
tions reached into almost every
family. Suspects jammed swollen
jails and living conditions were
described as growing worse.
The New York Times quoted a
diplomatic source in Washington
as saying Maj. Ernesto Guevara,
one of Castro's top aides, was
seriously wounded in the head
earlier this week. The Times said
the information reached Washing-
ton from a diplomatic source in
Havana.
The diplomatic source said a
neurosurgeon was sent to a pro-
vinetal 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
week, was personally directing
mop-up operations in the interior
against the surviving rebel invad-
ers who are trying to overthrow
his pro-Communist regime.

day night prepared the people for

from his New York headquarters
to Pope John XXII, asking the
pontiff's intercession to halt fir-
ing squad executions of captured
rebels. A Havana dispatch Fri-

Miro Cardona said in his cable
to the Vatican that the Pope’s
voice, “exemplifying Christian
charity, could save the lives of
many idealistic men” by interced-
ing through the International Red
Cross. Miro Cardona also mes-
saged the presidents of 11 Latin
American nations, asking them to
“act promptly’ te prevent more
executions.
AP Correspondent Bem Price
reported from Cuba that an un-
derground source there com-
plained bitterly over what he saw
as the reasons for the failure of
last weekend’s invasion attempt.
The source said the rebels neglect-
ed to seize radio stations for ral-
lying the masses and did not fur-
nish themselves with proper aerial
support. .
The U.N. General Assembly
adopted 59-13 a mild resolution
asking all nations to ‘take what-
ever peaceful steps they can to

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

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.

were lifted to the carrier by
helicopter.

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.

WASHINGTON (AP) — The
leaders of the world’s two nu-
vlear superpowers pledged in a
landmark agreement today to
regulate their relations in a
way to reduce the risk of nucle-
ar war.
President Nixon and Soviet
Communist party Secretary

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

In addition to its application
to U.S.-Soviet relations, the
agreement applies also to the
relations of either party with
ather countries. In this way, al-
though technically bilateral, the
agreement has multilateral im-
plications.
The two leaders declared in
the agreement that they were
“conscious that nuclear war
would have devastating con-
sequences for mankind” and
said they wanted “to bring
about conditions in which the
danger of an outbreak of nucle-
ar war attywhere in the world
would be reduced and ultimate-
ly eliminated.”
They pledged their countries
to ‘act in such a way as to pre-
vent the development of situ-
ations capable of causing a
dangerous exacerbation of their
relations, as to avoid military
confrontations, and as to ex-
clude the outbreak of nuclear
war between them and between
cither of the parties and other
countries.”’ ;
Nixon and Brezhnev also
‘agreed that their countries
‘will refrain from the threat or
the use of foree against the oth-
er party, against the allies of
the other party and against oth-
er countries, in circumstances
which may endanger _inter-
national peace and security.”
Ata news conference prior to
the formal signing, presidential
assistant . Henry A. Kissinger
skirted questions on whether
this clause would forbid U.S.
bombing of Cambodia or would
have prevented the Soviet in-
vasion ot Uzecnosiovakia.
Kissinger noted, however,
that.U.S. air strikes against
Communist forces in Cambodia
were under way at the time the
agreement was being nego-
tiated and that the bombing
“was not raised as applying to
that particular situation.”
When a newsman asked
whether the agreement would
forestall any Soviet action
against China, Kissinger re-:
sponded that the accord was
“not conceived as_ protection
for any country” but added it
would “have the practical con-
sequence of applying to the sit-
uation you described.”
“T'H see you tomorrow at the

Ten minutes later they climbed

ABOARD USS TICONDE-
ROGA (AP) — Skylab’s
astronauts came safely home
from man’s longest space
journey today. splashing
down with pinpoint precision
in the Pacific Ocean after 28
days and 11 million miles,
‘We're all in good shape,”
Commander Chi-ly't conrad
Jr. reported as the spacecraft
descended. “Everything's
OK.”
The astronauts almost
were held over in orbit to try
to repair a refrigeration
problem in their space
station. But Mission Control
decided there was nothing the
astronauts could do and told
them to come home.
So, 10 minutes behind
schedule, Conrad, Dr. Joseph
P. Kerwin and Paul J. Weitz
undocked their Apollo ferry
ship from the station and
executed a_ series. of
maneuvers that sent them
slamming into the 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,

nauts came home safely today

ney ang shunned streichers to

carrier.
The wobbly 60 steps from the
Apollo ferry ship to a medical
Jaboratory indicated Charles

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 splasheq down right on
target, just 61, miles from the
Ticonderoga.
Thirty-nine minutes later,
still inside the Apollo. they
were on the carrier deck.
Doctors, not knowine how
they might react to earth's
gravity after their long weigh-
tless exposure. were prepared
to lift them out on liters.
But, afterconsulting with
doctors, Kerwin, a physician
said they could walk to the
medical trailer where they be-
gan six hours of extensive m2d-
wal debriefing.
They emerged smiling from
the hatch and saluted as the
ship’s band struck up ‘*Anchors

He said the generals commanding
the ‘garrisons of Oran and. Con

cities, were loyao to De Gaulle.
Communications Cut
UPY’s Algiers correspondent Alan
Raymond telephoned Paris
just before the government cut
off communications with Algiers,
He said paraitroops seized the
official residence of Delegate Gen
eral Jean Morin, De Gaulle’s
chief civilian representative in Al-
geria.
Morin was taken prisoner, along
with Public Works Minister Rob
ert Buron, who hud just arrived
from’ “Franec, and “Gen. Fernand
Gambiez, the French miliary
commander in Algeria,
Raymond said Algiers was calm
early today, with Europeans and
Arabs going about their business
as usual. The only sign that any-
thing had happened was the um
usual number of ‘troops in the
streets. i
The French government cut aff
all communications, and hater
sea and air travel between
France and Alger: in an effort ta
isolate the rebels.
The communications minisiry
ordered all post office and tele
graph employes in Algeria to stom
work. It was not immediately cer
tain how many tad heeded the
order.
Calls Cabinet Meeting
De Gaulle called a cabinet
meeting for 5 pm. {1 am. EST}
to consider further action.
A communque signed by Salan
and three other generals, all of
whom hud held high commands in
Algeria, announced the army had
taken over “all powers held by
civilian authorities.’*
Although Salan signed the com-
munique, it was not immediately
certain that he was in Algiers.
Challe said in a radio broadcast
only that tthe aher generals were
“in contact’! with Salan.
| 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 Sa-
hara Desert from President
Charles de Gaulle’s government.
Premier Michel Debre went on
a nationwide radio and television
hookup to appeal for ‘absolute
obedience” in France but already
minor right-wing violence was re-
ported in France itself.
A bomb exploded at the town
hall of the Neuilly district of
Paris. Police said the bomb was
the type used by right-wing ex-
tremists in past acts of terror
against the De Gaulle govern-
ment.
State Of Siege
. The insurgent army and air
force generals in Algiers an-
nounced over Algiers radio — re
named “Rado 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 cabine'
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. Fer-
nand Gambiez who was arrested
by the insurgents. Olie flew im-
mediately to Algeria.
Uphold Old 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 De Gaulle to power.
(Diplomatic quarters in London
expressed doubt that today’s re-
volt could muster enough support
\to topple De Gaulle.)
Police in the south French city
of Lyon arrested a number of
rightist opponents of De Gaulle's
Algeria policies, and reliable po-
lice sources said there also had
been ‘numerous’ arrests in
Paris.
The sources said a number of
high army and navy officers and
civilian officials had been round.

| ABOARD USS: TICONDEROGA
(AP) — Skylab’s astronauts came
safely home from man’s longest
space journey today, splashing down
with pinpoint precision in the Pacific
Ocean after 28 days and 11 million
miles in orbit.
Just 39 minutes after touchdown,
Charles Conrad Jr., Dr. Joseph P.
Kerwin and Paul J. Weitz were
hoisted onto the deck of the recovery
carrier, U.S.S. Ticonderoga still in-
side their Apollo ferry ship.
“We're all in good shape. Every-
thing's OK." commander Conrad
radioed as the spacecraft descended.
Ten minutes later they climbed
through the hatch, smiled and waved
as the ship's band played ‘Anchors
Aweigh’ for the all-Navy Skylab
crew.
They walked unsteadily toward a
mobile medical laboratory, showing
some effects from the four weeks’
exposure to weightlessness.
How well thev fared in the weight-
less world will determine if man can
function efficiently in future long-
duration flights. The first of the two
56-day Skylab missions is scheduled
for launch July 27.
The astronauts almostwere held
over in orbit today to try to repair a
refrigeration problem in their space
station. But Mission Control decided
there was nothing the astronauts
could do and told them to come
home.
Ten minutes behind schedule,
Conrad, Kerwin and Weitz executed
a series of maneuvers that sent them
slamming into the atmosphere above
Thailand for the fiery descent.
The Apollo craft under three huge
parachutes hit the calm blue waters
at 8:50 a.m. Waukesha time about
830 miles southwest of San Diego,
Calif.
The Ticonderoga quickly steamed
alongside the three-ton Apollo and
tossed a line to frogmen in the water.
A crane then lifted the craft and the
astronauts.
Hundreds of white-clad sailors on
deck and millions watching televi-
sion around the world again had a
ringside seat to a U.S. man-in-space
landing.
The Ticonderoga reported the as-
tronauts had landed 6'2» miles from
the ship and that the ship was 6!»
miles from the target point, in-
dicating a perfect touchdown.
The landing completed an historic
space mission that lasted 28 days

ABOARD USS TICONDE-
ROGA (AP) — Skylab’s
astronauts came safely home
from man’s longest space
journey today. splashing
down with pinpoint precision
in the Pacific Ocean after 28
days and 11 million miles,
‘We're all in good shape,”
Commander Chi-ly't conrad
Jr. reported as the spacecraft
descended. “Everything's
OK.”
The astronauts almost
were held over in orbit to try
to repair a refrigeration
problem in their space
station. But Mission Control
decided there was nothing the
astronauts could do and told
them to come home.
So, 10 minutes behind
schedule, Conrad, Dr. Joseph
P. Kerwin and Paul J. Weitz
undocked their Apollo ferry
ship from the station and
executed a_ series. of
maneuvers that sent them
slamming into the 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

ABOARD USS TICONDEROGA (AP) —
Skylab’s astronauts came home safely
from man’s longest space journey today
and shunned stretchers to walk smartly but
unsteadily across the deck of this recovery
carrier.
The wobbly 60 steps from the Apollo
ferry ship to a medical laboratory
indicated Charles Conrad Jr., Dr. Joseph
P. Kerwin and Paul J. Weitz had suffered
some effects from a record four weeks’
exposure to space weightlessness.
But Commander Conrad reported as the
Apollo parachuted toward a pinpoint
landing in the Pacific after an 11-million-
mile journey: ‘‘We’re all in good shape.
Everything’s ok.”
They splashed down right on target, just
6% miles from the Ticonderoga.
Thirty-nine minutes later, still inside the
Apollo, they were on the carrier deck.
Doctors, not knowing how they might
react to earth’s gravity after their long
weightless exposure, were prepared to lift
them out on litters.
But, after consultation with doctors,
Kerwin, a physician, said they could walk
to the medical trailer where they began six
hours of extensive medical debriefing.
They emerged smiling from the hatch
ami-saluted as the ship’s band struck up
“Anchors Aweigh’’ for the-all-Navy crew.
Conrad walked with hesitant steps at
first but gradually picked up steam as he
reached the medical lab door. Kerwin was
slightly stooped and both he and Weitz
were somewhat unsteady in their steps.
Doctors assisted both Kerwin and Weitz
by holding onto one arm of each.
Experts immediately began removing
thousands of feet of film and tape and
equipment from medical, earth resources
and astronomy experiments that may tell
man much about his earth, his sun and his
physical being.
How well Conrad; Kerwin and Weitz
fared in the weightless world will play a

ABOARD USS TICONDEROGA (PB —
Skylab’s astronauts came home safely from
man’s langest space journey today and de-
spite some early dizziness and
lightheadedness, they were pronounced in
excellent physical condition.
Charles Conrad Jr., Dr; Joseph P. Kerwin
and Paul J. Weitz shunned stretchers to walk
smartly but unsteadily across the deck of this
recovery carrier.
_The wobbly 60 steps from the Apollo ferry
ship to a medical laboratoty indicated the
astronauts had suffered some initial effects

sure to space weightlessness.
But commander Conrad reported as the

in the Pacifie after an 11-million-mile jour-
ney: ‘We're all in good shape. Everything’s
OK.”
DR. ROYCE HAWKINS, the astronauts’ chief
physician, confirmed this alter consulting with doctors
on the carrier. He told newsmen at the Houston Space
Center:
“They look quite good. They appear far better than I
expected. They're excellent.”
Hawkins said Conrad, a veteran of three previous

blood pressure and pulse and = only © slight
lightheadedness.
He said both Kerwin and Weitz suffered from
dizziness and lightheadedness and that Weitz’ blood

— Skylab’s astronauts came home safely
from man’s longest space journey today
and despite some early dizziness and
lightheadedness, they were pronounced in
excellent physical conditon.
Charles Conrad Jr., Dr. Joseph P.
Kerwin and Paul J. Weitz shunned
stretchers to walk somewhat unsteadily
across the deck of this recovery carrier.
The wobbly 60 steps from the Apollo
ferry ship to a medical laboratory in-
dicated the astronauts had suffered some
initial effects in gravity after a1ecord four
weeks’ exposure to space weightlessness.
But commander Conrad reported as the
‘pollo parachuted toward a pinpoint lan-
ding in the Pacific after an 11-millionmile
journey: ‘‘We’re all in good shape.
Everything’s OK.”’
Dr. Royce Hawkins, the astronauts’
chief physician, confirmed this after con-
sulting with doctors on the carrier. He
told newsmen at the Houston Space
Center:
‘They look quite good. They appear far
better than I expected. They’re ex-
cellent.’’
Hawkins said Conrad, a veteran of three

- dition, with normal blood pressure and
pulse and only slight lightheadedness.
He said both Kerwin and Weitz suffered
from dizziness and lightheadedness and
that Weitz’ blood pressure at first was on

flatable suit over the lower part of his

slightly stooped and both he and Weitz
were somewhat unsteady in their steps.
Doctors assisted both Kerwin and Weitz
by holding onto one arm of each.
Experts immediately began removing
thousands of feet of film and tape and
equipment from medical, earth resources
and astronomy experiments that may tell
man much about his earth, his sun and his
physical being.
How well Conrad, Kerwin and Weitz
fared in the weightless world will play a
major role in determining if man can
function efficiently in future long-
duration flights. The first of the two 56-
day Skylab missions is scheduled for
Jaunch July 27.
Then, im quick succession, they
triggered the engine firings 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 lan-
ding, the carrier was to steam to the
Apollo capsule and hoist it on deck with a
crane. In earlier U.S. manned space
flights, the astronauts were plucked by
helicopter from their floating spaceships.
Speed in retrieving the astronauts is es-
sential because doctors are keenly in-
terested in their initial reaction to earth
gravity after four weeks’ exposure to
weightlessness.
“In general, the three crewmen are in
good health,”’ said Dr. Royce Hawkins,
the astronauts’ chief ohvsician, Thursday.
lesting just how well man can with-
stand the deconditioning effects of living
for long periods in space is one of the
main obiectives of the Skylab program.
Two more missions are planned, with
the Skylab 2 and 3 crews scheduled to
rocket up to the laboratory on July 27 and
in October. They'll remain aboard for 56
days each, continuing the medical, earth
resources, solar astronomy, space
manufacturing and other experiments
started by the first crew.
Like vacationers closing a summer
house, Conrad, Kerwin and Weitz on
Thursday cleaned up the space station for
Skylab 2. They slept five hours and waken-
ed at 8:30 p.m. to Start a long re-entry day
They transferred into the Apollo ship and
checked its systems for several hours.
Packed aboard the Apollo are
thousands of feet of film and tapes, plus
other experiment equipment that experts
will be analyzing for months in efforts to
set guidelines for future long-duration
space flights.
Along the way, the crew set a record for
a single manned space mission, breaking a
mark of 23 days, 18 hours, 22 minutes set
in 1971 by three Russian cosmonauts. That
flight ended tragically when the
cosmonauts died during re-entry because
of a faulty hatch seal.

| PARIS (UPI) — Four rebel
French generals supported by
Foreign Legion paratroopers
seized Algiers in a bloodless coup

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

ported in France itself.
A bomb exploded in a telephone

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

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.

immediately to Algeria.
The revolt was reported led by

would topple De Gaulle

LONDON, Feb. 17. (P) —
A British-American rift over
Formosa flared into the open
‘today following U. 8. Secre-
tary of State Dulles’ rejec-
tion of a British suggestion
that Chinese Nationalists
evacuate all the China off-
shore islands.
British informants said
officials were particularly
disturbed bv Dulles’ state-
ment last night that the
‘ause of freedom would not
be served by Chiang Kai-
Shek’s surrender of “the
coastal positions which the
Communists need to stage
their announced attack on
Formosa.”
Dulles’ statement made in «4
speech before the Foreign Policy
Assn. in New York, was interpre-
ted here as covering the offshers:
island of Quenioy and Matsa.
Foreien Secretary Anthony Ed-
en in secret diplomatic exchan les,
has urged Dulies to get the Chi-
nese Nationalists off the coastal
isis:nds -- ineluding Quemoyv and
Mutsu-—as 300% aS possible as the
first step in bringing about an

</s> | WASHINGTON Pi—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:
tical agreements” to ease world
tensions.
He also says the Formosa crisis
can be settled if Red Ghina will
renounce the use of force to cap-
ture 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-
nismin 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. Molotov 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 “has
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 a tthe 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 is 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-
oidinated to the worldwide am-_
bitions of international commu-.
nism.
“If their point of view should |
prevail, then indeed there could
be a basis for worthwhile nego-
tiation and practical agreement be-
‘tween the United States and the
new Russia.”
- The secretary did not speculate
within what period of time ‘‘Rus-
sians of stature’’ might seize pow-
er from those whose first dedica-
tion, he said, is to ‘international
communism,”
Dulles said the demotion of
Georgi Malenkov as premier 10
days ago and the elevation of Niko-
lai Bulganin to succeed him pro-
vided ‘tan extraordinary demon-
stration of Despotic disarray.”
' “The Prime Minister of the So
viet state,” he sald, was pre
‘emptorily summoned to a_ hig!
‘Soviet session in the Kremlin ang
subjected to the public humiliatio:
‘of hearfng another read his resig
nation and his confession of ‘m;
quilt,”
The full significance of what hap
pened is still obscure, Dulles said
and “perhaps the last act of th
drama &as not yet been played.”

have disclosed.
They are the first officers to
face such charges, which were
brought by Rear Adm. James
V. Stockdale, of Coronado, Ca-

POW, was promoted after he
returned home.
The two men are Navy Capt.
Walter E. Wilber, 43, of Colum-

F4 fighter planes when he was
shot down over North Vietnam
June 16, 1968.
Miller’s Marine F4 Phantom
went down over North Vietnam
Oct. 13, 1967.

that Stockdale mailed the for-
mal charges to Navy Secretary
John Warner. Details of Stock-
dale’s accusations were not

were formally charged by Air
Force Col.. Theodore Guy of
misconduct during their years
of imprisonment.

EDWARDS AIR FORCE BASE,
Calif. (®# —*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 Hidden
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.
Finally he .sueceeded. 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 spéed record, then shut off his
engine.
At 90,000 feet his pressurized
cabin sprang a leak, Instantly and
automatically, his space-type fly-
ing suit inflated to compensate for
the loss of pressure in the cabin.
“IT was still able to function
normally,” White said, so he con-
tinued the flight.
Momentum carried him on to
103,000. feet, close to the planned
peak for the flight: Then came
the long glide back to base.
| EDWARDS AIR FORCE BASE,
Calif. (AP)--A test pilot. coolly
describes as ‘just routine’ a trou-
ble-plagued flight in the X15 rock-
et plane that set a new controlled
flight speed record of 3,140 miles
an hour.
Air Force Maj. Bob White
zoomed more than 50 miles a
minute to an altitude of 103,000
feet Friday, thus breaking the
old record of 2,905 m.p.h. he had
set last March 7.
There were tense momnts dur-
ing the 14-minute flight—when the’
engine quit temporarily and mo-
ments later when the swept-wing
Dart’s pressurized cabin sprang
a leak.
White later brushed aside the
miscues, saying, “We expect
some unusual things to show up
in an experimental program."
Seconds after the X15 dropped
{from its B52 mother plane at 45,-
000 feet, its rocke' enaine quit.
The X15 dropped 7,000 fee’ while
White frantically tried to re-start
the engine. At 937,000 feet the
rocket engine’s 57,000 pounds of
thrust came on at full throttle,
slamming White back in the
cockpit seat with a force three
times that o* gravity. Over the
radio came White’s unemotional:
“That was quite a boost.”
White pulled the X15 into a
climbing angle of 30 degrees and
the rocket plane shot like a bullet
on its first full power run, At
80,000 feet, White had his record
and shut off the engine.
His momentum carried him still
higher. At 90,000 feet, the cabin
sprang a leak and White come
pensated by Inflating his space-
type flying suit. At 103,000 feet

MOSCOW (AP)---Soviet Premier
‘Nikita Khrushchev told President
‘Kennedy today the invasion of
Cuba is ‘fa crime which has re-
volted the whole world.”
“It hag been established incon-
troveritbly that it was the United
States that prepared the interven-
tion, financed, armed and trans-
ported the mercenary bands
which invaded Cuba,” Khrush-
chevy said in a message to Presi-
dent Kennedy, handed to E. L.
Freers, U.S. charge d’affaires.
Khrushchev was replying to a
communication several days ago
from Kennedy.
As distributed by Tass, the Sovi-
et news agency, the Khrushchev
statement referred to a Kennedy
statement that rockets that might
be used against the United States
could be stationed in Cuba, with
the inference that this posed prob-
lems for the United States in rela-

sphere,
“Mr. President, yqou are follow.

Dean, who has said he dis-
cussed Watergate and a_ pos-

Agnew’s recent attack on the Watergate
panel as one that ‘‘can hardly hope to find
the truth and hardly fail to muddy the
waters of justice,” as an example of the
executive branch’s efforts.
Meanwhile, the committee said it was
considering a halt to the practice of talking
to prospective witnesses in secret because
so much supposedly confidential in-
formation is leaked to the media.
“I nearly despair of doing anything
about it,’ committee Vice Chairman
Howard H. Baker, R-Tenn., said Thur-
sday. “It means that the committee
probably will end its closed-door sessions
with witnesses, which until now have been
held routinely in advance of public ap-
pearances.
News stories Thursday featured ac-
counts of closed-door testimony by Dean
and Watergate conspirator E. Howard
Hunt.
Also Thursday, another congressional
investigation into Watergate-related
matters was announced, this one by the
House Internal Security Cammittee.
Chairman Richard Ichord, DMo., said
he wants to find out why the White House
formed the ‘“‘plumbers” group that bur-
glarized the office of Daniel Ellsberg’s
psychiatrist in 1971. President Nixon has
said he ordered the “plumbers”’ to plug
such news leaks as the secret Pentagon
Papers, which Ellsberg gave to
newspapers.
In New York, former Democratic
National Chairman Lawrence F. O’Brien
said the scandal has hurt both parties. He
called for limits on how much candidates
may spend in their campaigns.

ABOARD USS TICONDEROGA (AP)
— Skylab’s astronauts came safely home
from man’s longest space journey today,
splashing down with pinpoint precision in
the Pacific Ocean after 28 days and 11
million miles in orbit.
Just 39 minutes after touchdown,
Charles Conrad Jr., Dr. Joseph P.
Kerwin and Paul J. Weitz were hoisted
onto the deck of this recovery carrier,
still inside their Apollo ferry ship.
“‘We’re all in good shape. Everything’s
OK,’’ commander Conrad radioed as the
spacecraft descended through the clouds
and landed within view of USS Ticon-
deroga, just 64% miles away. That in-
dicated the astronauts had suffered no
adverse physical reactions on returning
to earth’s gravity after a record four
weeks’ exposure to space weightlessness.
Ten minutes later they climbed
through the hatch, smiled and waved as
the ship’s band played ‘‘Anchors
Aweigh” for the all-Navy Skylab crew.
They walked unsteadily toward a
mobile medical laboratory, showing
some effects from the four weeks’ ex-
posure to weightlessness.
How well Conrad, Kerwin and Weitz
fared in the weightless world will play a
major role in determining if man can
function efficiently in future long-
duration flights. The first of the two 56-
day Skylab missions is scheduled for
launch July 27.
The astronauts almost were held over
in orbit today to try to repair a
refrigeration problem in their space
station. But Mission Control decided
there was nothing the astronauts could do
and told them to come home.
Ten minutes behind schedule, Conrad,
Kerwin and Weitz undocked their Apollo
ferry ship and executed a series of
maneuvers that sent them slamming into
the atmosphere above Thailand for the
fiery descent,
The Apollo craft hit the calm blue
waters at 9:50 a.m. EDT about 830 miles
southwest of San Diego, Calif. It was just
after dawn off the West Coast.
The 42,000-ton Ticonderoga quickly
steamed alongside the three-ton Apollo
and tossed a line to frogmen in the water.
A crane then lifted the craft and the
astronauts to an elevator for a ride to the
hangar deck.
Hundreds of white-clad sailors on deck
and millions watching television around
the world again had a ringside seat to a
U.S. man-in-space landing as the Apollo
craft floated down through low-hanging
clouds and dangling under three huge or-
ange and white parachutes.
‘“‘Everyone’s in super shape,’’ Conrad
said as the spacecraft bobbed on the
water awaiting pickup. Frogmen im-
mediately leaped from helicopters to se-
cure the spacecraft with flotation collars.
The Ticonderoga reported the
astronauts had landed 6% miles from the
ship and that the ship was 6% miles from
the target point, indicating a perfect
touchdown.
The Ticonderoga steamed to pick up
the Apollo capsule with the astronauts
still inside, in contrast to most earlier
U.S. flights when the spacemen were
lifted to the carrier by helicopter.
Medical requirements dictated the
pick up method today.
Medical experts were not certain how
the astronauts would react after return-
ing to earth’s gravity following record
exposure to space weightlessness so they
decided the astronauts should be sub-
jected to as little activity as possible until
they can be examined in mobile medical
laboratories aboard the Ticonderoga.
The landing completed an_ historic
space mission that lasted 28 days and 50
minutes. During that time the spacemen
circled the earth 395 times.
Mission Control was kept in suspense
for most of the final 76 minutes of the
flight — a period when the Apollo ship
was out of radio contact with ground
stations.
The Ticonderoga’s radar picked up the
streaking craft at a distance of 188 miles,
10 minutes before landing.
While out of radio contact, at 9:11 a.m.,
the astronauts conducted the critical
retrorocket burn that slowed their 17,100
mile-an-hour speed by 130 miles,
allowing earth’s gravity to tug the
spacecraft out of orbit and start the long
glide through the atmosphere to the
eastern Pacific.
The refrigeration trouble caused
considerable concern. A maneuver in-
tended to correct it caused a brief
gyroscope problem that caused the 10-
minute delay in the astronauts’ depar-
ture from the orbiting laboratory.
‘“‘We’re free,’ Conrad reported seconds
after the control center flashed the go-
ahead for undocking from the 118-foot-
long laboratory.
They left behind a space station which
they had salvaged with some daring,
difficult and often ingenious repair tasks
after it was damaged during launching
Mav 14.

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 _—- 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 ysician,
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 wi 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

his earth, his sun and his physi-

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,

| WASHINGTON (AP) — Leaders of the
world’s superpowers signed at the summit
loday an agreement pledging to diffuse the
risks of nuclear war by avoiding military
confrontations between nations.
“A truly historic ceremony,” said Soviet
Communist Party Secretary Leonid I.
Brezhnev after he and President Nixon
signed the agreement in the White House
East Room on the fifth day of their summit
talks.
The document applies not only to U.S.-
Soviet relations, but to relations either has
with any other country—large or small.
In impromptu comments at the signing
ceremony, Brezhnev looked ahead to a
reunion summit in 1974 in Moscow. He said
he believed this and other future meetings
“would consolidate still further and
deepen” the advances made in the joint
effort to free the world of the fear of
nuclear war.
Later in the day, Nixon and Brezhnev
were to fly lo the Western While House in
San Clemente, Calif., continuing while en
route their summit talks that until today
had encompassed more than 26 hours.
The two leaders declared in the
agreement that they were “conscious that
nuclear war would have devastating
consequences for mankind’’ and said they
wanted “to bring about conditions in which
the danger of an outbreak of nuclear war
anywhere in the world would be reduced
and ultimately eliminated.”

By an 86 vote, the court
ruled that Australia and France

The court’s ruling followed
applications last month by Aus-

French test series.
The court said it would
schedule further hearings in
September and December. It
did not say if France, which
boycotted last month’s hear-
ings, would be represented at
the forthcoming sessions.
In their pleadings before the
court, representatives of both
the Australian and New Zea-
land governments said further
nuclear tests in the South Pa-
cific would present unaccept-
able health and environmental
dangers to the population of the
areas concerned.
The Australian attorney gen-
eral, Lionel Murphy, said the
forthcoming series might be of
“a size and yield hitherto un-
equalled,”
The people of the southern
hemisphere ‘‘will pay with their
lives for the French decision to
go ahead with their spring test
program,” he added.
France so far has refused .o
give any information as to the
nature and yield of the devices
which it proposes to explode.
The only indication sa far
that the tests are imminent
were reports last Saturday
from Tahiti saying six French
navy vesesls, known to be con-
nected with the tests, left there
last week bound for the Mu-
ruroa Atoll.
The Mururoa test atoll lies
750 miles southeast of Tahiti.

should be subjected to as little
activity as possible until they
can be examined in mobile

VP AERP SSSANNA LAVIN N40 Fs
President Kennedy meets
with former President
Dwight D. Eisenhower to-
day in an evident bid to
rally strong national sup-
port for critical steps which
he may consider necessary
to deal with the increasing-
ly dangerous Cuban crisis.
A White House announcement
of the session—at Camp David,
‘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.
Council Meets
Before flying to Camp David
by helicopter Kennedy met with
the. National Security Council,
presumably to discuss possible
future ‘iioves ‘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. S.
money and arms.
The President was understood
to be concerned about what some
authorities called a failure to cal-
culate accurately in advance the
strength of Prime Minister Fidel
Castro’s military reaction to the
rebel assault as weil as possible
errors in intelligence.
White House news secretary
Pierre Salinger disclosed Friday
night that Kennedy and Eisen-
hower would meet, at Camp Da-
vid, the Catoctin Mountain re-
treat near Gettysburg, Pa., which
Eisenhower used for conferences
with foreign leaders.
Call to Ike
The President arranged the
luncheon session in a telephone
call to Eisenhower Friday morn-
ing. The former chief executive
was at his Gettysburg farm.. _
Salinger said Kennedy wanted
to bring Eisenhower up to date
on the Cuban situation, believing
that ‘‘as leader of the Republi-
can party and as former presi-

Joxe, by jet, plane from Paris to
find out.
' The insurgent leallers took over
the government buildings of Al
giers and in a broadcast over Al-
giers Radio claimed leadership
over all of Algeria and the Sa-
hara,
Although the rebels led by Gen.
Maurice Challe, former, French,
commander in chief in Algeria,
claimed to control the whole
territory this was-disputed by the
De| Gaulle government in Paris.
It said Joyal soldiers were in con-
trol outside the City of Algiers.
Premier Michel Debre said the
rising was “a premeditated and
undisciplined act’? by retired gen-
erals. He said | they “had seized
the government buildings in Al-
giers but “in all the, rest of the
territory the situation is normal
In every respect, The government
is taking ‘all necessary measures
to insure that force rests with the
jaw.”
Along with Challe the rebel
communique broadcast by Algiers

played, a prominent role in the
1958 riding in Algeria that brought

London, May 10—(*)—A hotly-
disputed bill to nationalize most of
Britain’s iron and steel industry
, went to the House of Lords today.
It was passed last night by the
House of Commons.
The Lords planned to bring the
measure—main item in the labor
government’s Socialist program —
to early consideration. It is ex-
pected generally the upper cham-
ber will riddle it with amend-
ements, and return it to commons
which then will restore it virtually
to present form, to become law.
Socialists call the bill an “attack
«On the heart of capitalism,” be-
cause control of iron and_ steel
means control essentially of Brit-
ish manufacturing, from bicycles
to battleships.
The bili, proposed by the labor
«government, went to the House of
Lords after a Conservative motion |
in Commons to reject it was de-
feated 330-203. |
It authorizes the government to.
‘buy the stock of 107 companies, |
but actual direction of the com-
panies would stay in fhe hands of
the men who run them now as pri-
vate enterprises. The companies
would work under a government |
holding corporation, retaining their |
present firm names. They would.
be free to compete with one an-
other, but not to the point of clash-
Ying with the holding corporation's |
overall general plan.
Under the measure the govern-
ment would pay 300,000,000 (m)
. ($1,200,000,000) (b) for the stock of
the 107 companies. The _ firms,
which employ 300,000 of Britain's
495,000 iron and steel workers, are |
capitalized at 195,000,000 eae
(m) $780,000,000) (m),
The bill calls for government
contro! of the affected plants to
start May 1, 1950—just before next
summer’s scheduled national elec-
tions. Some well-placed sources,
say the takover may be deferred
until the elections have shown
whether the people really are firm-
ly behind the Labor party’s plans
for government control of indus-

morality. But what has been done
against Cuba is no _ longer
morality. This is gangsterism.”
Khrushchev said the United Na-
tions must denounce these actions.
“Tf 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-

| WASHINGTON (AP) — The leaders
af the world’s two nuclear superpowers
pledged in a landmark agreement
today to regulate their relations in a
way to reduce the risk of nuclear war.
President Nixon and Soviet Com-
munist party Secretary Leonid 1.
Brezhnev reached the accord in the
fifth day of their summit talks and
prepared 1o sisn it at the White House
before heading for, California where
they will conclude their meetings
Sunday,
In addition to its application to U.S.-
Soviet relations, the agreement applies
also to the relations of either party with
other countries, In this way, although
technitally bilateral, the agreement
has nuitilateral implications.
The two leaders declared in the
agreement that they were “conscious
that nuclear war would have
devaslating consequences for
mankind’ and said they wanted "to
bring about condilions in which the
danger of an outbreak of nuclear war
anywhere in the world would be
reduced and ultimately eliminated.”
They pledged their countries to “act
in such a way as te prevent the
dévelopment of situations capable af
causing a dangerous exacerbation of
their relations, as to avoid military
confrontations, and as to exclude the
outbreak of nuclear war between them
and between either of the parties and
other vountries.”
Nixon and Brezhnev also agreed that
their countries “will refrain from the
threat or the use of force against the
other party, against the allies of the
other party and against other countries,
in circimstances which may endanger
international peace and security.”
At a news conference prior to the
formal signing, presidentia! assistant
Henry A. Kissinger skirted questions on
whether this clause would forbid U.S.
hombing of Cambodia or would have
preventer] the Soviet invasion of
Czechoslovakia.
Kissinger noted, however, that U.S.
air strikes against communist forces in
Cambodia were under way at the time
the agreement was being negotiated
and that the hambing ‘‘was not raised
ag applying to that. particular
silualivn.”
When a newsman asked whether the
agreement would forestall any Soviet
action against China, Kissinger
responded that the accord was “rot
conceived as protection for any
country” but added it would “have the
practical consequence of applying to
the situation yau described.”
“Pll see you lemorraw at the
signing,’ Nixon reminded Brezhnev
just before midnight Thursday as he
jelt the Soviel Embassy after a banquet
of caviar, borsch, Russian beef and
fish, two kinds of vodka and Soviet
champagne.
‘The agreement is of unlimited
duration and, unlike a treaty, does not
require Senate ratification.
The 600-word dacument calls for the
countries lo “inymediately enter into
urgent consultations” at any time in-
ternational tensinns reach a_ point
where: lhe risk of nuclear war is in-
volved.
‘The apreement was reached as the
two leaders looked ahead to a reunian
summit in Moscow in 1974—the target
dale for formally limiting the atomic
arsenals af the two countries.

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 \e vast ter-
ritory.
* * *
The bloodless coup was carried
out between midnight and dawn.
It sent a chill running through
metropolitan France and caused
costernation in Tunisia where
the Algeria 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
Joxe, by jet plane from Paris to
find out.
The insurgent leaders took over
the government buildings of Al-
giers and in a broadcast over Al-
giers Radio claimed leadership
over all of Algeria and the Sa-
hara.
* a *
Although the rebels led by Gen.
Maurice Challe, former French
commander in chief in Algeria,
claimed to control the whole
territory this was disputed by the
De Gaulle government in Paris.
It said loyal soldiers were in con-
trol outside the City of Algiers.
Premier Michel Debre said the
rising was “a premeditated and
undisciplined act’’ by retired gen-
erals. He said thev had seize
the government buildings in Al.
giers but ‘in all the rest of the
territory the situation is normal
in every respect. The government
is taking all necessary measures
to insure that force rests with the
law.”
Alone with Challe the rebel
communique broadcast by Algiers
Radio was also signed by Para-
troop Gen. Raoul Salan, who
played a prominent role in the
1958 rising in Algeria that brought
De Gaulle back to power.
Salan recently has exiled him-
self in Spain. It was not believed
that he had arrived on Algerian
soil but he was expected momen-
tarily.
_ The rebel communique said
“The powers held by the civil
authorities have entirely passed
to military authorities.”
| French officers who have fought
‘the Algerian nationalists in the
| 64-year rebellion have been
_among the bitterest opponents of
De Gaulle’s _ self-determination
policy for Algeria.
« * *
_ Other generals who joined the
revolt were Air Force Gen. Ed-
mond Jouhaud and Army Gen.
Henri Zeller.
_ After the communique, Algiers
Radio said, ‘the individuals hav-
ing participated directly in the
_attempt to abandon Algeria and
the Sahara will be place under
_arrest and brought before a mili-
tary tribunal.”
The radio declared a ‘‘state of
‘seige”’ in Algeria but promised
'that all “fundamental liberties
/and guarantees assured by the
| constitution are entirely main-
| tained.”
* * *
The first reaction among Euro-
_peans in the city was one of ela-
tion. Cars streamed through the
streets blasting their horns in the
three-two cadence that means
“Algerie, Francaise (Algeria is
| French).”
_ How many troops were involved
, in the sudden coup was unknown.
Nor was it clear yet whether the
army claim to control of all Al-
| geria was true.

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

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

wanted to think it was. He couldn’t be sure. He
trudged along, eyes straight ahead.
Russia and the West were going to 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 ever be settled in my lifetime
or anybody’s lifetime, now or thereafter.”
He didn’t feel blue or gay or happy or de-
pressed. He was living from day to day, wonder-
ing about next week and next year, hoping he
could just live his life quietiy.
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.
