ABOARD USS TICONDEROGA
(AP) — Skylab’s astronauts came home
safely from man’s longest space journey
today and despite some early dizziness
and lightheadedness, they were pro-
nounced in excellent physical condition.
conditon.
Charles Conrad Jr., Dr. Joseph P.
Kerwin and Paul J. Weitz shunned
stretchers to walk somewhat
unsteadily across the deck of this
recovery carrier
The wobbly 60 steps from the Apollo
ferry ship to a medical laboratory
indicated the astronauts had suffered
some initial effects in gravity after a
record four weeks’ exposure to space
weightlessness.
But commander Conrad reported as
the Apollo parachuted toward a pinpoint
landing in the Pacific after an 11-million-
mile journey: “We're all in good shape.
Everything’s OK.”
Dr. Royce Hawkins, the astronauts
chief physician, confirmed this after
consulting with doctors on the carrier.
He told newsmen at the Houston Space
Center:
“They look quite good. They appear
far better than I expected. They're
excellent.”
Hawkins said Conrad, a veteran of
three previous space flights, was in the
best condition, with normal blood pres-
sure and pulse and only slight
lightheadedness.
He said both Kerwin and Weitz
suffered from dizziness and
lightheadedness and that Weitz’ blood
pressure at first was on the low side.
After splashdown Kerwin blew up
an inflatable suit over the lower part of
his body to help increase blood
circulation, Hawkins said.
The astronauts splashed down right
on target, just 6% miles from the
Ticonderoga.
Thirty-nine minutes later, still
inside the Apollo, they were on the
carrier deck.
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, atter consultation with doctors,
Kerwin, a physician, said they could walk
to the medical trailer where they began
six hours of extensive medical
debriefing.
They emerged smiling from the hatch
and saluted as the ship’s band struck up
“Anchors Aweigh” for the all-Navy crew. -
Conrad walked with hesitant steps at
first but gradually picked up steam as he
reached the medical lab door. Kerwin
was slightly stooped and both he and
Weitz were somewhat unsteady in their
steps.
Doctors assisted both Kerwin and
Weitz by holding onte one arm of each.
| ABOARD USS_ TICONDE-
ROGA (AP) — Skylab’s astro
nauts came safely home from
man’s longest space journey to-
day, splashing down with pin-
point precision in the Pacifie
Ocean after 28 days and 11 mil-
lion miles in orbit.
“We're all in good shape,”
Commander Charles Conrad Jr.
reported as the spacecraft de-
scended. “Everything’s OK.”
The astronauts almost were
held over in orbit to try to re-
pair a refrigeration problem in
their space station, But Mission
Control decided there was noth-
ing the astronauts could do and
told them to come home.
So, 10 minutes behind sched-
ule, Conrad, Dr. Joseph P. Ker-
win and Paul J. Weitz un-
docked their Apollo ferry ship
from the station and executed a
series of maneuvers that sent
them slamming into the atmos-
phere above Thailand for a
fiery descent.
The Apollo craft hit the calm
Pacific waters at 9:50 a.m.
EDT about 830 miles 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 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 6'2 miles from the target
point, indicating a perfect
touchdown.
The Ticonderoga steamed to
pick up the Apollo capsule with
the astronauts still inside, in
contrast to most earlier US,
flights when the spacemen
were lifted to the carrier by
helicopter.
Medical requirements dic-
tated the pick up method today.
Medical experts were not cer-
tain how the astronauts would
react after returning to earth's
gravity following record ex-
posure to space weightlessness
so they decided the astronauts
should be subjected to as little
activity as possible until they
can be examined in mobile
medical laboratories aboard the
Ticonderoga.
The landing completed an
historic space mission that last-
ed 28 days and 80 minutes. Dur-
ing that time the spacemen cir-
cled the earth 395 times.
Misson Control was kept in
suspense for most of the final
76 minutes of the flight — a pe-
riod when the Apollo ship was
out of radio contact with
ground stations,
The Ticonderoga’s radar
picked up the streaking craft at
a distance of 188 miles, 10 min-
utes before landing.
While out of radio contact, at
9:11 a.m., the astronauts con-
ducted the critical retrorocket
burn that slowed their 17,100
mile-an-hour speed by 130
miles, allowing earth's gravity
to tug the spacecraft out of or
bit and start the long glide
through the atmosphere to the
eastern Pacific.
The refrigeration _ trouble
caused considerable concern. A
maneuver intended to correct it
caused a brief gyroscope prob-
lem that caused the 10-minute
delay in the astronauts’ depars
ture from the orbiting labora»
tory. i

BOARD USS TICONDEROGA
(AP) — Skylab’s astronauts came
safely home from man’s longest
space journey today, splashing down
with pin-point precision in the
Pacific Ocean atter 28 days and 11
million miles in orbit.
“We're all in good shape,”
Commander Charles Conrad Jr.
reported as the spacecraft de-
scended. “Everything’s OK."
The astronauts almost were held
over in orbit to try to repair a
refrigeration problem in their space
station. But Mission Control decided
-there was nothing the astronauts
could do and told them to come
home.
So, 10 minutes behind schedule,
Conrad, Dr. Joseph P. Kerwin and
Paul J. Weitz undocked their Apollo
ferry ship from the station and
executed a series of maneuvers that
gent them slamming into the atmos-
phere above Thailand for a fiery
descent.
The Apollo craft hit the calm
Pacific waters at 9:50 am. EDT
about 830 miles southwest of San
Diego, Calif., within sight of the
main recovery ship, the USS
Ticonderoga. It was just after dawn
off the West Coast.
Hundreds of white-clad sailors on
deck and millions watching
television around the world again
had a ringside seat toa U.S. man-in-
space landing as the Apollo craft
floated down through low-hanging
clouds and dangling under three
huge orange and white parachutes.
“Everyone's in super shape,”
Conrad said as the spacecraft
bobbed on the water awaiting
pickup. Frogmen immediately
leaped from helicopters to secure’
the spaceeraft 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'landing completed an historic
space mission that lasted 28 days
and50 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, af 9:11
m., the astronauts conducted the
critical retrorocket burn that slowed
their 17,100 mile-an-hour speed by
130 miles, allowing earth’s gravity to
tug the spacecraft out of orbit and
start the long glide through the
atmosphere to the eastern Pacific.
The refrigeration trouble caused
considerable concern, A maneuver
intended to correct it caused a brief
gyroscope problem that caused the
10-minute delay in the astronauts’
departure from the orbiting labora-
tory.
“We're free,” Conrad reported
seconds after the control center
flashed. the go-ahead for undocking
from the 11%foot-long laboratory.
They left behind a space station
which they had salvaged with some
daring, difficult and often ingenious
repair tasks after it was damaged
during launching May 14.
After the undocking, the as-
tronauts made a 45-minute fly-
around inspection of the station,
televising pictures of the odd-locking
space vehicle to mission control for
evaluation by experts.
Then, in quick succession, they
triggered the engine firings that
gradually dropped them closer to
earth from their original orbital
altitude of 275 miles.
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. In
earlier U.S. manned space flights,
the astronauts were plucked by
helicopter from their floating
spaceships.
Speed in retrieving the astronauts
is essential because doctors are
keenly interested in their initial
reaction to earth gravity after four
weeks’ exposure to weightlessness.
“In general, the three crewmen
are in good health,” said Dr. Royce
Hawkins, the astronauts’ chief
physician, Thursday. “The re-entry
stress and reintroduction to gravity
is the eritieal period in question
now.”
Testing just how well man can
withstand the deconditioning effects
of living for long periods in space is
one of the main objectives of the
Skylab program.
Two more missions are. planned,
with. the Skylab 2 and 3 crews
scheduled to rocket up to the
laboratory on July 27 and in October.
They'll remain aboard for 56 days
each, continuing the medical, earth
resources, solar astronomy, space
manufacturing and other ex-
periments started by the first crew.
Like vacationers closing a sum-
mer house, Conrad, Kerwin and
Weitz on Thursday cleaned up the
ce station for Skylab 2. They
slept five hours and wakened at 8:30
p.m. to start a long re-entry day.

ROGA (AP} — Skylab's astro-
nauts came safely home from
man’s longest space journey to-
day, splashing down with pin-
point precision in the Pacific
Ocean after 2 8days and 11 mil-
dion miles in orbit.
Just 39 minutes after touch-
down Charles Conrad Jr., Dr.
Joseph P. Kerwin and Pau! J.
Weitz were hoisted onto the
deck of this recovery carrier,
still inside their’ Apollo ferry
ship.
“We're all in good shape.By-
erylhing’s OK,” commander
Conrad radioed as the space-
eraft descended through the
clouds and landed within view
of USS Ticonderoga, just 6%
miles away. That indicated the
astronauts had suffered no ad-
verse physical reactions on re-
turning to earth’s gravity after
a record four weeks’ exposure
to space weightlessness.
Ten minutes ‘Jater they
climbed through the hatch,
smiled and waved as the ship's
band played ‘‘Anchors Aweigh”
for the all-Nayy Skylab crew.
They walked unsteadily to-
ward a mobile medical labora-
dory, showing some effects
from the four weeks’ exposure
to weightlessness.
How well Conrad, Kerwin and
Weitz fared in the weightless
world will play a major role in
determining if man can fune-
tion efficiently in future long-
duration flihts. The first of the
two 56-day Skylab missions is
Scheduled for launch July 27.
Tne astronauts almost were
held over in orbit today to try
to repair a refrigeration prob-
Jem 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 almosphere
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 42,000on Ticonderoga
quickly steamed alongside the
three-ton Apollo and tossed a
Hine to frogmen in the water. A
crane then lifted the craft and
fhe astronauts to an elevator
for a ride to the hangar deck.

persons were known to have been killed
and several more were injured when
three buildings in the business section
collapsed here today. Several others
known to have been in the building
were missing.
The known dead are:
Miss Ora Eskridge, an employe of
the First National Bank; Zeb Blanton,
a farmer, and his son, Carl; Guy Green
and Alex Hoyle, clerk in the First Na-

As construction crews worked desper-
ately to clear the tangled wreckage it
was feared that the death toll would
mount when the basements of the col-
lapsed structures were cleared,
A construction crew engaged in ex-
eavating under the buildings was still
‘unaccountend for and little possibility
of their escape was seen,
The collapsed structures are the

injured, weré unable to give accurate
estimates of the number brought there.
In addition, several people were
thought to have been slightly hurt and
to have mixed with the crowd after |
receiving first aid.

WASHINGTON @ — A Republican
member of the Senate Watergate com-
mittee says the Nixon administration has
“stepped on’? anyone willing to search
for the truth about Watergate.
Sen. Lowell O. Weicker Jr., who
made the claim Thursday, also said that
fired White House Counsel John W. Dean
III should be listened to when he appears
before the panel. Dean, who has said he
discussed Watergate and a_ possible
coverup with President Nixon, will be the
lead-off witness when the hearings
resume next week.
“I think there is a great deal of cred-
ibility to a story that he is going to go
ahead and tell, and I think the committee
owes it to him to enable him to tell that
story in full view of the public,”’ Weicker
said on a Public Television show, ‘“Eve-
ning Edition.’’ He was interviewed by
Martin Agronsky.
“This man (Dean) was in the White
House from °70 to 72, so he has a window
on the White House during that time,”
the Connecticut senator said.
“Is his testimony credible? I think it
is.
“Nobody's attributing 100 per cent
credibility to him or any other witness,
but he’s got the guts to stand out there
and that’s no small thing when you were
in his position and had all the pressures
that obviously must have existed on this
young man at the time to decide that
you're going to step forward and tell the
story to the American people.”
Weicker was the sole opponent of the
sommittee’s decision to postpone Dean’s
appearance for one week last Tuesday
because of the summit conferences this
week between Nixon and Soviet Commu-
nist Party leader Leonid I. Brezhnev.
“It should be clear from various pub-
lic statements that have been made that
any institution, whether it’s a witness,
anybody that’s willing to step out and try
to find out the truth and try to tell the
truth is gonna’ get stepped on by the
executive branch of government,”
Weicker said.

was made a few hours afler the

said propaganda from Swan Is-

It had told earlier of new small
landings made in Cuba, but no
other source confirmed this. Some
rebel sources in Miami did say,
however, that between 500 and
1,560 guerrillas were headed for
Cuba for a new invasion assault.
A dispatch from ‘Havana de-
jscribed the Cuban capital as a
city of fear and suspicion. It said
a new wave of arrests and deten-
tions reached inte almost every
family. Suspects jammed swollen

described as grow!ng 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.
Sent To Hospital
The diplomatic source said a
neurosurgeon was sent to a pro-

legedly was taken. Guevara, 32,
is Cuba’s economic czar.

ABOARD USS TICONDEROGA
(AP) — Skylab’s astronauts came
safely home from man’s longest space
journey today, splashing down with
pinpoint precision in the Pacific Ocean
after 28 days and 11 million miles in
orbit.
Just 39 minutes after touchdown,
Charles Conrad Jr., Dr. Joseph P.
Kerwin and Paul J. Weitz were hoisted
onto the deck of this recovery carrier,
still inside their Apollo ferry ship.
“We're all in good shape. Every-
thing’s OK,” commander Conrad ra-
dioed as the spacecraft descended
through the clouds and landed within
view of USS Ticonderoga, just 614
miles away. That indicated the astro-
nauts had suffered no adverse physi-
cal reactions on returning to earth’s
gravity after a record four weeks’ ex-
posure lo space weightlessness.
Jen minutes later they climbed
through the hatch, smiled and waved
as the ship's band played “Anchors
Aweigh” tor the all- Navy Skylab
crew.
They walked unsteadily toward a
mobile medical laboratory, showing
some effects from the four weeks’ ex-
posure to weightlessness.
The astronauts almost were held
over in orbit to try to repair a retrig-
eration problem in their space station
But Mission Control decided there was
nothing the astronauts could do and
told them to come home.
So, 10 minutes behind schedule. Con-
rad, Kerwin and Weitz undocked their
Apollo ferry ship from the station and
executed a series of maneuvers that

“on the road of plunder.”
He said the United States

EDWARDS AIR FORCE
BASE, Calif. (UPI)—The X-15
i Friday carried Maj. Robert
White to a record 3140 miles
an hour—50 miles a minute—
on the first full-power trial of
an engine intended to hurl the
pilot-controlled rocket plane to
the fringe of space.
Unlike the Russian cosmo-
naut who orbited the earth last
week, White had control of the
stubby research plane from the
time it was dropped from a
B-52 bomber at 45,000 feet over
the Mojave Desert.
The 36-year-old aviator —
who admitted a series of minor
problems kept him “quite
busy” during the 11-minute
flight — reached top speed at
80,000 feet to break his six-
week-old record of 2905 m.p.h.
White said after the flight
which was the fourth record
run in a row for the rocket
plane—that he felt it would
reach its goal of 4000 m.p.h. by.
allowing the engine to burn
longer. He shut down the
57,000-pound thrust rocket
after 67 seconds Friday. |
| EDWARDS AIR FORCE BASE,
Calif. (AP}—Maj. Bob White flew
the X15 rocket plane to a new
controlled flight speed record of
3,140 miles an hour Friday, de
spite engine trouble and a leak
in his pressurized cabin.
| The new mark is 235 m.p.h.
faster than White's previous rec-
ord of 2,905 m.p.h. last March 7,
but the Air Force officer said he
felt no sensation of greater speed.
The engine trouble came a_split
second after the X15 dropped
away from its B52 mother ship
140 miles east of here above Hid-
den Hills, Calif. ;
The engine ignited briefly, then
cut out. For the next 30 seconds,
while the XI5 fell helplessly from
45,000 feet ho 37,000 feet, White
labored frantically to get the en
gine restarted.
Finally he succeeded; The en
gine’s 57,000 pounds ‘of thrus
came-on at full throttle, drivin;
him back in his seat with a forc
three times that of norma
gravity. ‘
White zoomed to 80,000 feet, th
altitude at which he reached th
tT new speed record, then shut oi
his engine.
At $0,000 feet his pressurize
cabin sprang a feak. Instantl
and automatically, his space-typ
flying suit inflated to compensat
for -the loss of pressure in th
cabin.
“I was stil] able to functic
normally,’ White said, so he co
tinued the flight.

| 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.

Kennedy today appointed Gen.

Not Used
Pierre Salinger, White House

is not used in the usual sense of
nuclear warfare but of tactical
operations. ;
Salinger said Kennedy decided
within the last few days that such

Taylor Friday to conduct it.
The study clearly was inspired
by events of the past week in

Pressed by newsmen for the
purpose Kennedy had in mind in
designating Taylor to conduct a
study of a specialized phase of
military operations, Salinger cited
the last paragraph of Kennedy’s
speech two ys agp before a

ABOARD USS_ TICONDE-
ROGA (AP) — Skylab’s astro-
nauts came safely home from
man’s longest space journey to-
day, splashing down with pin-
‘point precision in the Pacific
Ocean after 28 days and 11 mil-
lion miles in orbit.
Just 39 minutes after touch-
down, Charles Conrad Jr., Dr
Joseph P. Kerwin and Paul J.
Weitz were hoisted onto the
deck of this recovery carrier,
still inside their Apollo ferry
‘Ship.
| “We're all in good shape. Ev-
cerything’s OK,” commander
‘Conrad radioed as the space-
craft descended through the
clouds and landed within view
‘of USS Ticonderoga, just 6%
“miles away. That indicated the
‘astronauts had suffered no ad-
verse physical reactions on re-
‘turning to earth’s gravity after
a record four weeks’ exposure
to space weightlessness.
Ten minutes later they
climbed through the hatch,
smiled and waved as the ship’s
band played ‘Anchors Aweigh’’
for the ail-Navy Skylab crew.
| They walked unsteadily to-
‘ward a mobile medical labora-
‘tory, showing some effects
from the four weeks’ exposure
to weightlessness.
How well Conrad, Kerwin and
‘Weitz fared in the weightless
world will play a major role in
determining if man can funce-
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

lem in their space station. Bul

after dawn off the West Coast.
The 42,000-ton Ticonderog:
quickly steamed alongside the
three-ton Apollo and tossed «
line to trogmen in the water. A
crane then lifted the craft and
the astronauts to an elevator
for a ride to the hangar deck.

‘ors on deck and millions watch-
ing televiston 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

ange and white parachutes.
_ “Everyone’s in super shape,”
‘Conrad said as the spacecraft
bobbed on the water awaiting
pickup. Frogmen immediately
Heaped from helicopters to se
,cure the spacecraft with flota-
tion collars.
_ The Ticonderoga reported the
astronauts had landed 6% miles
from the ship and that the ship
was 6'2 miles from the target
‘point, indicating a perfect
‘touchdown.
The Ticonderoga steamed to
‘pick up the Apollo capsule with
the astronauts still inside, ir
contrast to most earlier U.S
‘flights when the spacemer
were li‘ted to the carrier by
helicopter.
_ Medical requirements dic
tated the pick up method today.
Medica] 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 littl
activity as possible until they
can be examined in mobile
medical laboratories aboard the
Ticonderoga.
_ The landing completed ar
historic space mission that last
je 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
he minutes of the flight — a pe-
riod when the Apollo ship was
out of radio contact with
‘ground stations.
| The Ticonderoga’s radar
picked up the streaking craft at
_a distance of 188 miles, 10 min-
‘utes before landing.
_ While out of radio contact, at
9:11 a.m., the astronauts con-
ducted the critical retrorocket
burn that slowed their 17,100
| mile-an-hour speed by 130
‘miles, allowing earth’s gravity
‘to tug the spacecraft out of or-
‘bit and start the long glide
‘through the atmosphere to the
eastern Pacific.
_ The refrigeration trouble
caused considerable concern. A
ee intended to correct it
caused a brief gyroscope prob-
‘lem that caused the 10-minute
delay in the astronauts’ depar-
‘ture from the orbiting labora-
tory.
_ “We're free,” Conrad report-
ed seconds after the control
center flashed the go-ahead for
‘undocking from the 118-foot-
long laboratory.
_ They left behind a space sta-
ition which they had salvaged
with some daring, difficult and
often ingenious repair tasks
after it was damaged during
launching May 14.
After the undocking, the as-
tronauts made a 45-minute fly-

ROGA (AP) — Skylab’s
astronauts came home safely
today from man’s longest space
journey and shunned stretchers
to walk smartly but unsteadily
across the deck of this recovery
carrier.
The wobbly 60 steps from the
Apolto ferry ship to a medical
laboratory indicated Charles
Conrad Jr., Dr. Josph 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-
_Mmillion-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 lit-
ters.
But, after consultation with
doctors, Kerwin, a physician,
said they could walk to the
medical trailer where they began
six hours of extensive medical
debriefing.
They emerged smiling from the
hatch and saluted as the ship’s
band struck up ‘Anchors
Aweigh” for the all-Navy crew.
Conrad walked with hesitant
steps at first but gradually picked
up steam as he reached the
medical lab door. Kerwin was
slightly stooped and both he and
Weitz were somewhat unsteady
in their steps.
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
launch July 27,
The astronauts almost were
held over in orbit today to try to
repair a refrigeration problem in
their space station. But Mission
Control decided there was
nothing the astronauts could do
and told them to come home,
Ten minutes behind schedule,
Conrad, Kerwin and Weitz un-
docked their Apollo ferry ship
and executed a series of
Maneuvers that sent them

descent.
The Apollo craft hit the. calm

dawn off the West Coast.
The 42,000-ton Ticonderoga
quickly steamed alongside the
three-ton Apollo and tossed a line
to fragmen 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
telvision around the world again
had a ringside seat to a U.S. man-
in-space landing as the Apollo
craft floated down through low-
hanging clouds and dangling
under three huge orange and
white parachutes.
“Everyone’s in super shape,”
Conrad said as the spacecraft
bobbed on the water awaiting
pickup. Frogmen immediately
leaped from helicopters to secure
the spacecraft with flotation
collars.
The Ticonderoga reported the
astronauts had landed 6%4 miles
from the ship and that the ship
was 6% miles from the target
point, indicating a perfect touch-
down.
The Ticonderoga steamed to
pick up the Apollo capsule with
the astronauts still inside, in
contrast to most earlier U.S.
flights when the spacemen were
lifted to the carrier by helicopter.
Medical requirements dictated
the pick up method today.
Medical experts were not certain
how the astronauts would react
after returning to earth’s gravity
following record exposure to
space weightlessness so they
decided the astronauts should be
subjected to as little activity as
possible until. they can be
examined in moble medica}
laboratories on 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 189 miles, 10 minutes
before landing.
While out of radio contact, at
9:11 a.m., the astronauts con-
ducted the critical retrorocket
burn that slowed their 17,100

The wobbly 60 steps from the Apollo

mile journey: “We're all in good shape.
Everything’s OK.”
Dr. Royce Hawkins, the astronauts
chief physician, confirmed this after
consulting with doctors on the carrier.
He told newsmen at the Houston Space
Center:
“They look quite good. They appear
far better than I expected. They're
excellent.”
Hawkins said Conrad, a veteran of
three previous space flights, was in the
best condition, with normal blood pres-
sure and pulse and only slight
lightheadedness.
He said both Kerwin and Weitz
suffered from dizziness and
lightheadedness and that Weitz’ blood
pressure at first was on the low side.

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.

SOOVTINOGT ON PACE TWO
| LONDON, May 10 (4)—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 tne
house of commons.
The lords planned to bring the
measure—main itern in the labor
government's socialist program—to
early consideration. It is expected
renerally the upper chamber will
riddle it with amendments, and re-
turn it to commons which then will
restore it virtually to present form,
to become law,
Socialists call the bill an “at-
tack on the heart of capitalism,”
because control of iron and stee!
means control essentially of Britisn
manufacturing, from bicycles to
battleships,
The bill, proposed by the labor
_government, went to the house of
lords after a conservative motion
in commons to reject it was defeat-
ed 330-203,
It authorizes the government to
buy the stock of 107 companies, but
actual direction of the companies
would stay in the hands of the men
who run them now as private en-
terprises. The companies would
work under a government holding
corporation, retaining their pres-
ent firm names. They would be
free to compete with one another,
but not to the point of clashing
with the holding corporation's over-

ABOARD USS TICONDE-
ROGA (AP) — Skylab’s astro-
nauts came safely home from
man’s longest space journey to-
day, splashing down with pin-
point precision in the Pacific
Ocean after 28 days and 11 mil-
lion miles in orbit.
Just 39 minutes after touch-
down, Charles Conrad Jr., Dr.
Joseph P. Kerwin and Paul J.
Weitz were hoisted onto the
deck of this recovery carrier,
still inside their Apollo ferry
ship.
“We're all in good shape. Ev-
erything’s OK,’’ commander
Conrad radioed as the space-
craft descended through the
clouds and landed within view
of USS Ticonderoga, just 6%
miles away. That indicated the
astronauts had suffered no ad-
verse physical reactions on re-
turning to earth’s gravity after
a record four weeks’ exposure
to space weightlessness.
Ten minutes later they
climbed through the hatch,
smiled and waved as the ship’s
band played ‘‘Anchors Aweigh’’
for the all-Navy Skylab crew.
How well Conrad, Kerwin and
Weitz fared in the weightless
world will play a major role in
determining if man can func-
tion efficiently in future long-
duration flights. The first of the
two 56-day Skylab missions is
scheduled for launch July 27.
The astronauts almost were
held over in orbit today to try
to repair a refrigeration prob-
lem in their space station. But
Mission Control decided there
was nothing the astronauts
could do and told them to come
home.
Ten minutes behind schedule,
Conrad, Kerwin and Weitz un-
docked their Apollo ferry ship
and executed a_ series of
maneuvers that sent them
slamming into the atmosphere
above Thailand for the fiery de-
scent.
The Apollo craft hit the calm
blue waters at 9:50 a.m. EDT
about 830 miles southwest of
San Diego, Calif. It was just
after dawn off the West Coast.
The 42,000-ton Ticonderoga
quickly steamed alongside the
three-ton Apollo and tossed a
line to frogmen in the water. A
crane then lifted the craft and
the astronauts to an elevator
for a ride to the hangar deck.
Hundreds of white-clad .sail-
ors on deck and millions watch-
ing television around the world
again had a ringside seat to a
U.S. man-in-space landing as
the Apollo craft floated down
through low-hanging clouds and
dangling under three huge or-
ange and white parachutes.
Misson Control was kept in
suspense for most of the final
76 minutes of the flight — a pe-
riod when the Apollo ship was
out of radio contact with
ground stations.
The Ticonderoga’s radar
picked up the streaking craft at
a distance of 188 miles, 10 min-
utes before landing.
While out of radio contact, at
9:11 a.m., the astronauts con-
ducted the critical retrorocket
burn that slowed their 17,100
mile-an-hour speed by — 130
miles, allowing earth’s gravity
to tug the spacecraft out of or-
bit and start the long glide
through the atmosphere to the
eastern Pacific.
| ABOARD USS TICONDE-
ROGA (AP) — Skylab’s astro
nauts came home safely today
from man’s longest space jour-
ney and shunned stretchers to
walk smartly but unsteadily
across the deck of this recovery
carrier.
The wobbly 60 steps from the
Apollo ferry ship to a medical
laboratory indicated Charles
Conrad Jr., Dr. Joseph P. Ker-
win and Paul J. Weitz had suf-
fered some effects from a
record four weeks’ exposure to
space weightlessness.
But Commander Conrad re-
ported as the Apollo parachuted
toward a pinpoint landing in
the Pacific after an 11-million-
mile journey: ‘‘We're all in
good shape. Everything’s OK.”
They splashed down right on
target, just 642 miles from the
Ticonderoga
Thirty-nine minutes later,
still inside the Apollo, they
were on the carrier deck.
Doctors, not knowing how
they might react to earth's
gravity after their long weigh-
tless exposure, were prepared
to lift them out on litters.
But, after consultation with
doctors, Kerwin, a physician,
said they could walk to the
medical trailer where they be-
gan six hours of extensive med-
ical debriefing.
They emerged smiling from
the hatch and saluted as the
ship's band struck up ‘Anchors
Aweigh” for the all-Navy crew.
Conrad walked with hesitant
steps at first but gradually
picked up steam as he reached
the medical lab door. Kerwin
was slightly stooped and both
he and Weitz were somewhat
unsteady in their steps.
Doctors assisted both Kerwin
and Weitz by holding onto one
arm of each.
Experts immediately began
removing thousands of feet of
film and tape and equipment
from medical, earth resources
and astronomy experiments
that may tell man much about
his earth, his sun and his physi-
Cai deing.

ABOARD USS TICONDERUGA AP-
-Skylab’s astronauts came home safcly from
man’s longest space journey today and
despite some early dizziness and light-
headedness, they were pronounced in excel-

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 [rom the Apollo ferry
ship to a medical laboratory indicated the
astronauts had suffered some initial effects
in gravity after a record four weeks’
exposure to space weightlessness.
But commander Conrad reported as the
Apollo parachuted toward a pinpoint landing

“ “We're all in good shape. Everything’s

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, Ker-
win, a physician, said they could walk to the
medical trailer where they began six hours

A White Hotise announcement

did not rule out the prospect that

MOSCOW (AP)—Soviet Premier
Nikita Khrushchev told President
Kennedy today the invagion of
Cuba is “a crime which has re-
volted the whole world.”
“It has been established incon-

States that prepared the interven-
tion, financed, armed and trans-
ported the mercenary bands
which invaded Cuba,’ Khrush-
chev said in a message to Presi-
dent Kennedy, handed to 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-
tion to the whole Western hemi-
sphere.
“Mr. President, you are follow-
ing a very dangerous path,”
Khrushchev said. ‘Ponder that.”
‘Pierre Salinger, White House
press secretary, said that ‘‘non-
conventional’ warfare in this case
is not used in the usual sense of
nuclear warfare but of tactical
operations.
Salinger said Kennedy decided
within the last few days that such
a survey is necessary and asked
Taylor Friday to conduct it.

WASHINGTON (AP)—Presiderit
Kennedy meets with former Pres-
ident Dwight D. Eisenhower to-
day in an evident bid to rally
strong national support for criti-
cal steps which he may consider
necessary to deal with the in-
creasingly dangerous Cuban cri-
sis.
A White House announcement
of the session—at Camp David,
Md. — emphasized Cuba as the
topic for the conference. But ii
did not rule out the prospect that
Kennedy could discuss with his
predecessor a broad range of in-
tensifying cold war conflicts with
the Soviet Union.
Before flying to Camp David
by helicopter Kennedy met with
the National Security Council,
presumably to discuss possible
future moves against the pro-
Communist government of Cuba
in the wake of this week’s abor:
tive anti-Castro invasion.
In the midst of these develop-
ments, the President was report-
ed to have ordered a _ thorough
study of reasons for the defeat
,of the rebel invasion attempt
|which began last weekend with
ithe United States’ moral support
|—and, it was generally believed
here, with some backing of U. S.
money and arms.
The President was understood
to be concerned about what some
authorities called a failure to cal-
culate accurately in advance the
strength of Prime Minister Fidel
Castro’s military reaction to the
rebel assault as well as possible
errors in intelligence.
White House news secretary
Pierre Salinger disclosed Friday
night that Kennedy and Eisen-
hower would meet at Camp Da-
vid, the Catoctin Mountain re-
treat near Gettysburg, Pa., which
Eisenhower used for conferences
with foreign leaders.
The President arranged the
luncheon session in a_ telephone
call to Eisenhower Friday morn-
ing. The former chief executive
was at his Gettysburg farm.
Salinger said Kennedy wanted
to bring Eisenhower up to date
on the Cuban situation, believing
that ‘‘as leader of the Republi-
|Can party and as former presi-
-|dent he should know what the sit-
-|uation is.’
| Salinger also. disclosed that
Kennedy had been in indirect con-
tact with Gov. Nelson A. Rocke-
|feller of New York, another Re.
.| publican leader, and that he had
conferred Friday with Sen. Barry
Goldwater, R-Ariz.
The contacts with Republicans
followed Kennedy’s meeting at the
White House Thursday with for-
mer Vice President Richard M.
Nixon, his Republican opponent
for the presidency last year,
Nixon said in New York Friday
night that he had told Kennedy
he would support him “even to
the commitment of American
armed forces.”
Nixon said that as a private
citizen he would back Kennedy
in such a move if Kennedy con-
sidered it necessary to ‘“‘stop the
buildup of the Communist beach-
head in Cuba.”
Both Kennedy and Eisenhower
arranged to fly to Camp David

rectly from the White House and

man’s longest space journey
today and despite some early
dizziness and lightheaded-
ness, they were pronounced in
excellent: physical conditon.
Charles Conrad Jr., Dr. Jo-
seph P. Kerwin and. Paul J.
Weilz shunned stretchers to
walk somewha! unsteadily
across the deck of this
recovery Carrier.
The wobbly 60 steps from
the Apollo ferry ship lo a
medical laboratory indicated
the astronauts .had suffered
some initial effects in gravity
affer a record four weeks’
exposure to space
weightlessness.
* But commander Conrad re-
ported ~ as the Apollo
parachuted toward a pinpoin!
landing in the Pacific after an
11-million-mile journey:
‘We're all in good shape.
Everything’s OK.”
Dr. Royce Hawkins, the as-
tronauts' chief physician, con-
firmed this after consulting
with doctors on the carrier: He
told newsmen at the Houston
Space Center:
“They look quite good. They
appear far better than I ex-
pected. They're excellent.”
Hawkins said Conrad, a vet-
eran of three previous space
flights, was in the best condi-
‘lion, with normal blood pres-
sure and pulse and only slight
lightheadedness.
He said both Kerwin and
Weitz suffered from dizziness
and lightheadedness and, that
Weitz’ blood pressure at first
was on the low side.
After splashdown Kerwin
blew up an inflatable suil over
the lower part of his body to
help increase blood cir-
culation, Hawkins said,..
The astronauts splashed.
down right on target, just 6.
miles from the Ticonderoga.
Thirty-nine minutes later,
still inside the Apollo, they.
were on the carrier deck.
Noctors, nat 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
medical debriefing.
They emerged smiling from.
the hatch and saluted as the
ship’s band struck up"
‘Anchors Aweigh”’ for the all-
Navy crew.
Conrad walked with hesitant
steps at first but gradually
picked up steam as he reached
the medical lab door. Kerwin
was slightly stooped and both
he and Weitz were somewhal
unsteady in their steps.
“Doctors assisted both
Kerwin and Weitz by holding
onto one arm of each.
Experts immediately began

film and tape and equipment

his earth, his sun and his

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 foday to try
(o 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

Weitz undocked their Apollo
ferry ship and executed a
series of maneuvers thal sent
them slamming into the at-
mosphere-above Thailand for
the fiery descent.

The 42,000-lon Ticonderoga

| WASHINGTON, May 10. (&)--
House spy hunters said today they
have testimony that the son of a
University of California official
helped a Communist attempt to
infiltrate the school’s atomic lab-
bem. in 1941.
The testiniony was given in se-
-eret session by Paul Crouch, ad-
pmnaee former Communist of Mi-
ami, Fla., who 1s scheduled to
testi*v again at a hearing of the
house un-American activities com-
mittee on May 24. (There is some
doubt that he will appear then,
however. Committee aides said
Crouch was under the impression
that he had been released from a
grand jury subpoena in New York
but that there may have been a
misunderstanding about it).
“T was active in trying to in-
filtrate all scientific research at
the University of California,”
Crouch told the committee last
Friday behind closed doors.
In that project, he said, he was
assisted by the son of the Univer-
sity official, who drove him _ to
secret meetings in swank south-
ern California homes. Because the
testimony was taken secretly, the
committee would not permit use
of the official's name.
The plan, Crouch said, was to
organize the laboratory workers
into special sections of the com-
munist party. So secret was the
project, he said, that instead of
using names of individuals, party
communications referred to them
in Greek figures.

persons from many nations were
gathering. The scene was very

consulting with doctors on the carrier.
He told newsmen at the Houston Space

“They look quite good. They appear

Hawkins said Conrad, a veteran of
three previous space flights, was in the
best condition, with normal blood pres-

lightheadedness.

lightheadedness and that Weitz’ blood
pressure at first was on the low side.

an inflatable suit over the lower part of

Washington, May 10 (}—House
spy hunters said today they have
testimony that the son of a Uni-
versity of California official helped
a Communist attempt to infiltrate
the school’s atomic laboratory in
1941.
The testimony was given in sec-
ret session by Paul Crouch, admit-
ted former Communist of Miami,
Fla., who is scheduled to testify
again at a hearing of the House
Un-American Activities committee
on May 24. (There is some doubt
that he will appear then, however.
Committee aides said Crouch was
under the impression that he had
been released from a Brand jury
subpoena in New Yerk but that
there may have been a misunder-
standing about it.)
“I was active ‘in trying to in-
filtrate all scientific research at the
University of California.” Crouch
told the committee last Friday be-
hind ‘closed doors. .
In that project, he said, he was
assisted by the son of the univer.
sity official, who drove him to
secret meetings in swank southern
California homes. Because the
testimony was taken secretly, the
committee would not permit use
of the official's name.

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
destroyed 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
rnarket, he said,

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.

ABOARD USS TICON-
DEROGA (UPI) — Skylab’s
astronauts landed on target in the
Pacific Ocean today and reported
they were in ‘‘super shape”’ after
a fiery, strenuous return to earth
from a record 28 days in space.
It was a flawless end to a
mission that started with a
failure, and the flight took a
major step toward Biving man a
place in space.
Charles ‘Pete’’ Conrad, Joseph
P. Kerwin and Paul J. Weitz
came back in the Apollo com-
mand 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 controll-
ers 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 as
tronauts into the calm sea at 9:51
am. EDT within view of ;
television camera aboard thi
veteran aircraft carrier.
“Everybody’s in super shape,
said Conrad, the veteran con
mander of America’s first spac
Station.
The ship reported the a
tronauts landed precisely o
target, 843 miles southwest of Sa
Diego. The Ticonderoga was 61
miles downwind at the time.
The aircraft carrier move
quickly to the side of the bobbing
scorched spacecraft and hoistec
it aboard, using a single nylor
rope 15 inches in diameter.
It was the first time an Apollc
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.
Conrad, who has now logged a
total of 49 days in space, radioed
recovery forces six minutes
before splashdown that
“everything’s okay.”
After splashdown, Conrac
reported “everybody’s in supe!

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

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

diplomatic source in Washington
as saying Mai. Ernesto Guevara,
one of Castro's top aides, was
seriously wounded in the head

the information reached Washing-

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 846 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
Septermber and December. It
did not say if France, which
boycotted last month’s hear-
ings, would be represented at
the forthcoming sessions.
In 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 tle 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
790 miles southeast of Tahiti.
rrench 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
16. At that time, the French
also demanded that the Aus-
tralian and New Zealand appli-
cations should be removed
from the court’s agenda.
The court declined to do that
today, but invited Australia to
file submissions by Sept. 21 at-
testing to the court’s jurisdic-
tion ‘‘and the admissibilits’’ of
the Australian application.
It set Dec. 21 as the deadline
for any counter proposals that
the French may decide to file.
French officials had no im-
mediate comment on today’s
ruling.

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,

ABOARD USS TICONDE-
ROGA (AP) — Skylab’s astro-
pauts came safely home from
man’s longest space joumey to-

“We're all in good shape,”
Commander Charles Conrad dr.

The astronauts almost were

parties and other countries.”
Nixon and Brezhnev also agreed that
their countries ‘‘will refrain from the
threat or the use of force against the other
party, against the allies of the other party
and against other countries, in cir-
cumstances which may endanger in-
ternational peace and security.”
At a news conference prior to the formal
signing, presidential assistant Henry A.
Kissinger skirted questions on whether
this clause would forbid U.S. bombing of
Cambodia or would have prevented the
Soviet invasion of Czechoslovakia.
Kissinger noted, however, that U.S. air
strikes against Communist forces in
Cambodia were under way at the time the
agreement was being negotiated and that
the bombing ‘‘was not raised as applying
to that particular situation.”
When a newsman asked whether the
agreement would forestall any Soviet
action against China, Kissinger responded
that the accord was “not conceived as
protection for any country’ but added it
would “‘have the practical consequence of
applying to the situation you described.”’
“T’ll see you tomorrow at the signing,”
Nixon reminded Brezhnev just before
midnight Thursday as he left the Soviet
Embassy after a banquet of caviar, bor-
sch, Russian beef and fish, two kinds of
vodka and Soviet champagne.

riod when the Apollo ship was

The Ticonderoga’s radar
picked up the streaking craft at
a distance of 188 miles, 10 min-
utes before landing.
While out of radio contact, at
9:11 a.m., the astronauts con-
ducted the critical retrorocket
burn that slowed their 17,100
mile-an-hour speed by 130
miles, allowing earth's gravity
to tug the spacecraft out of or-
bit and start the long glide
through the atmosphere to the
eastern Pacific.
The refrigeration trouble
caused considerable concern. A
maneuver intended to correct it
caused a brief gyroscope prob-
lem that caused the 10-minute
delay in the astronauts’ depar-
ture from the orbiting labora-
tory.
“We're free,’’ Conrad report-

undocking from the 118-foot-
long laboratory.
They left behind a space sta-
tion which they had salvaged
with some daring, difficult and
often ingenious repair tasks
after it was damaged during
launching May 14.
After the undocking, the as-
tronauts made a 45-minute fly-
around inspection of the sta-
tion, televising pictures of the
odd-looking space vehicle to
mission control for evaluation
by experts.
Then, in quick succession,
they triggered the engine fir-

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
destroyed 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.
A severe shortage could
occur in 8 to 12 weeks, when
‘the eggs and chicks now
being destroyed would have
been ready for market, the
growers say.
The broiler producers do
not see any relief. Biddle
says he foresees ‘‘an ex-
treme shortage of feed and
protein grain in September

ABOARD USS TICONDE-
ROGA (AP) — Skylab’s astro-
nauts came safely home from
man’s longest space journey to-
day, splashing down with pin-
point precision in the Pacific
Ocean after 28 days and 11 mil-
lion miles in orbit.
Just 39 minutes after touch-
down, Charles Conrad Jr., Dr.
Joseph P. Kerwin and Paul J.
Weitz were hoisted onto the
deck of this recovery carrier,
still inside their Apollo ferry
ship.
“We're all in good shape. Ev-
erything’s OK,’’ commander
Conrad radioed as the space-
craft descended through the
clouds and landed within view
of USS Ticonderoga, just 6%
miles away. That indicated the
astronauts had suffered no ad-
verse physical reactions on re-
turning to earth’s gravity after
a record four weeks’ exposure
to space weightlessness.
Ten minutes later they
climbed through the hatch,
smiled and waved as the ship’s
band played ‘‘Anchors Aweigh’’
for the all-Navy Skylab crew.
How well Conrad, Kerwin and
Weitz fared in the weightless
world will play a major role in
determining if man can func-
tion efficiently in future long-
duration flights. The first of the
two 56-day Skylab missions is
scheduled for launch July 27.
The astronauts almost were
held over in orbit today to try
to repair a refrigeration prob-
lem in their space station. But
Mission Control decided there
was nothing the astronauts
could do and told them to come
home.
Ten minutes behind schedule,
Conrad, Kerwin and Weitz un-
docked their Apollo ferry ship
and executed a_ series of
maneuvers that sent them
slamming into the atmosphere
above Thailand for the fiery de-
scent.
The Apollo craft hit the calm
blue waters at 9:50 a.m. EDT
about 830 miles southwest of
San Diego, Calif. It was just
after dawn off the West Coast.
The 42,000-ton Ticonderoga
quickly steamed alongside the
three-ton Apollo and tossed a
line to frogmen in the water. A
crane then lifted the craft and
the astronauts to an elevator
for a ride to the hangar deck.
Hundreds of white-clad .sail-
ors on deck and millions watch-
ing television around the world
again had a ringside seat to a
U.S. man-in-space landing as
the Apollo craft floated down
through low-hanging clouds and
dangling under three huge or-
ange and white parachutes.
Misson Control was kept in
suspense for most of the final
76 minutes of the flight — a pe-
riod when the Apollo ship was
out of radio contact with
ground stations.
The Ticonderoga’s radar
picked up the streaking craft at
a distance of 188 miles, 10 min-
utes before landing.
While out of radio contact, at
9:11 a.m., the astronauts con-
ducted the critical retrorocket
burn that slowed their 17,100
mile-an-hour speed by — 130
miles, allowing earth’s gravity
to tug the spacecraft out of or-
bit and start the long glide
through the atmosphere to the
eastern Pacific.

nauts came home safely from

nauts had suffered some initial
effects in gravity after a record
four weeks’ exposure to space
wf ghtlessness.
But commander Conrad re-
ported as the Apollo parachuted
toward a pinpoint landing in
the Pacific after an 11-million-
mile journey: “We're ail in
good shape. Everything’s OK.”
Thirty-nine minutes later,
still inside the Apollo, they
were on the carrier deck.
Dr. Royce Hawkins, the as-
|tronauts’ chief physician, con-
firmed this after consulting
with doctors on the carrier. He
told newsmen at the Houston
Space Center:
“They look quite good. They
appear far better than I ex-
pected. They’re excellent.”
Hawkins said Conrad, a vet-
eran of three previous space
flights, was in the best condi-
jtion, with normal blood pres-
‘isure and pulse and only slight
jlightheadedness.

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
jarm 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-
