EDWARDS AIR FORCE BASE,
Calif. (AP)—A test pilot coolly
describes as “just routine” a trou-
ble-plagued flight in the X15 rock-
et plane that set a new controlled
flight speed record of 3,140 miles
an hour.
Air Force Maj. Bob White
zoomed more than 50 miles a
minute to an altitude of 103,000
feet Friday, thus breaking the
old record of 2,905 m.p.h. he had
set last March 7,
There were tense moments dur-
ing the 11-minute flight—wen the
engine quit temporarily and mo-
ments later when the swept-wing
Dart’s pressurized cabin sprang
a leak.
White later brushed aside the
miscues, saying, ‘We expect
some unusual things to show up
in an experimental program.”
Seconds after the X15 dropped
from its B52 mother plane at 45,-
000 feet, its rocket engine quit.
The X15 dropped 7,000 feet while
White frantically tried to re-start
the engine. At 37,000 feet the
rocket engine's 57,000 pounds of
thrust came on at full throttle,
slamming White back in the
cockpit seat with a force three
times that of gravity. Over the
radio came White’s unemotional:
“That was quite a boost.”
| White pulled the X15 into a
climbing angle of 30 degrees and
| the rocket plane shot like a bullet
on its first full power run. At
80.000 feet, White had his record
and shut off the engine.
His momentum carried him still
higher. At 90,000 feet, the cabin
sprang a leak and White com-
pensated by inflating his space-
type flying suit. At 103,000 feet
the X15 reached the top of its
flight and Write eased the vlane’s
nose gently into a glide back to a
landing on a nearby dry lake.

Cal. April 21.——Maj. Bob
White flew the X15 rocket plane
to a new controlled flight speed
record of 3,140 miles an hour
today, despite 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 math-
er ship 140 miles east .of here
above Nridden Hills, Cal. ®
The engine ignited briefly,
then cut out. For the next 30
seconds, while the X15 fell help-
‘Tessty from 45,000 feet to 37,000

get the engine restarted. ~

ALGIERS (AP)—A military jun-
ta of retired generals backed by
tough paratrocps seized power in
Algiers in defiance of President
Charles de, Gaulle today and
claimed control over the vast ter-
ritory. ‘
The bloodless coup was carried
out between midnight and dawn,
It sent a chul running through
metropolitan France an¢ caused
consternation in Tunisia where
the Algerian nationalists who
have been in ‘fevolt' 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 ohe of his top lieutenants,
Algerian Affairs Minister Louis
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
Radio was ‘also signed by Para-
troop Gen. Raoul Salan, who
played, a prominent role in the
1958 riding in Algeria that brought
De Gatille back to power.

WASHINGTON, Feb, 23 ‘»—Are
the channels of communication
clogged between President Fisen-
hower and his old friend, House
Speaker Rayburn (D-Texas)? And
is the speaker somewhat miffed?
The President voiced chilly dis-
belief of any such idea at his news
conference today, But Rayburn’s
reaction left the question still open
Texan Sarah MecClenden of the
FE! Paso Times brought up the
matter. She told Eisenhower the
speaker has been saying members
of the press get presidential mes-
sages before Rayburn does, and
that the speaker doesn't get a copy
unless some Republican brings
him one,
“Do you know this,”’ the news-
woman inquired, ‘‘and if you didn’t
know it, will you do something
about establishing this channel of
communications?”
There was a ripple of laughter
but the President did not smile.
Instead, coldly and sharply, he
said he doubted if the speaker
“has to bring to me any complaints
about my office through a round-
about course of communication.”
Eisenhower went on to say he
and Rayburn have been friends
for years, that the speaker repre-
sents the Texas district in which
the President was born.
Any leader of either party, EFis-
enhower said, car reach him “by
reaching for a telephone.”
“So,” said Eisenhower, “I can-
‘not believe that he (Rayburn) is
‘disappointed or feels any sense
of frustration about any lack of
¢ ommunication.’
Rayburn, told of the exchange,
said only one thing: That he has
no intention of picking up the tele-
phone and calling the White House
to find out what's going on at the
White House.
White House Press Secretary
James C,. Hagerty told reporters
that copies of every presidential
message to Congress are dis-
patched to the Capitol within a
few minutes of the time they are
distributed to newsmen at the
White House,
As for copies for Rayburn and
other House Democrats, Hagerty
‘said 250 copies of each message
have been sent to House Demo-
cratic Leader McCormack (Mass)
for distribution to his party col-
legues.
- In each case, Hagerty added,
they have arrived at McCormack’'s

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

EDWARDS AIR FORCE BASE, Calif. (UPI)—The
X15 Friday carried Maj. Robert White to a record
3,140 miles an hour—50 miles a minute—on the first
full-power trail of an engine intended to hurl the pilot-
controlled rocket plane to the fringe of space.
Unlike the Russian cosmonaut who orbited the
earth last week, White had control of the stubby re-
search plane from the time it was dropped from a B52
bomber at 45.000 feet over the Mojave Desert.
The 86-vear-old aviator
—who admitted a series of
minor problems kept him
“quite busy” during the
11-minute flight. — reach-
ed top speed at 80,000 feet
to break his. six-week-old
record of 2,905 m-p.h:
White said after the
flight —- which was the
fourth record run in a row
ifor the rocket plane—that
he felt it would reach its
goal of 4,000 m.p.h. by al-
lowing the engine to burn
longer. He shut down the
57,000-pound thrust rocket
after 67 seconds Friday.
The X15’s peak of Mach 4.8 fast
enough to cross the continent from
Los Angeles to Washington in
about 40 minutes — didn’t com-
pare with the Mach 30 speed of
Yuri Gagarin’s Russian space
ship. However, the Gagarin ship
was controlled at all times from
the ground.
White conceded he had some in
flight troubles, but called them
“minor.” However, the “minor
problems” included:
—Trouble starting the 57,000-
pound thrusi engine. White said he
started after the drop at 45,00¢
feet, but then shut down. It drop-
pec 7,000 feet before the engine
restarted.
National Aeronautics and Space
Administration (NASA) disclosed
it anticipated possible trouble. U
\the engine had failed to restart
White was to have attempted ar
emergeticy-landing at Hidden Hills
Dry Lake.
—A small leak developed in the
cabin at an altitude of about 95,-
000 feet. White said his space suit
automatically inflated to protect
him as pressure in the cabin was
equivalent to an altitude of about
35,000 feet in a conventional air-
craft.
The X15 engine, harnessing near-
ly a half-million horse power. was
at full throttle for 67 seconds on,
the 11-minute flight. Top altitude
on the flight was 103,000. com-
pared with 169,600 feet — 32 miles
-—-on Joe Walker's record flight of
March 30.
Walker had experienced the
same restarting difficulty with the
X15 as did White Friday. Howev-
er, White — who said he was
“quite busy” as a result of the in-
flight difficulties — had no com-
parable vibration as the X15 came
in for a landing.
NASA said official figures prob-
ably would be available Saturday;
on the actual speed of the X15,
Which is designed to go faster,
than 4,000 m.p-h. at an altitude

coal and six others of fresh pota-
toes and consumer goods are sche-
duled to move into the city, which
has beeg supplied by the air lift
for 10 months,
Twelve thousand tons of supplies
are to go into the city daily—just
about the same figure the air lift
reached on its best day.
While most of the world hailed
the end of the blockade as a Soviet
diplomatic defeat, the official So-
viet army newspaper, Taegliche
Rundschau, today called it an “un-
questionable success of the policy
of unity which was always pursued
by the Soviet Union and the pro-
gressive forces of Germany.”
The paper said that now that the
Berlin blockade was ending, “war-
mongers” would make new efforts
to split Germany-—and “claimed
approval of the new west German
democratic constitution marked
such an attempt.
But throughout the border area
there was excitement in the air as
willing workers installed radio and
telephone equipment, repainted
border signs and clipped weeds be-
side the long-neglected highways.
The British expected to have the
first train into the city.
| - BERLIN, May 10.—(P)—At one
minute past midnight Thursday
flag-bedecked traffic will end the
epic of blockaded Berlin.
- That’s 4:01 p.m., C.S.T., Wed-
nesday.
So far there hasn’t been a hitch
in final arrangements.
- Gen. V. IL. Chukov, Soviet com-
mander in Germany, and the west-
ern powers both have ordered the
transport, trade and communica-
tion services between their zones
resume at that time.

URUGNAIANA, Brazil (AP)—Brazil and Argentina
pledged themselves Friday night to fight Communist
penetration in the Western Hemisphere and backed: Presi->
dent Kennedy’s “Alliance for Progress” program for Latin
America.
In a historic move, Presidents
Janio Quadros of Brazil and Ar-
turo Frondizi of Argentina also
agreed to consult each other per-
manently on all common matters
and to coordinate all their actions
within the continent. It is the first
time in history South America’s,
two biggest nations have joined
in such close cooperation, one vet-
eran diplomat said.
The leaders ended a _ two-day
conference here by issuing four
documents: a declaration of prin-
ciples, amounting to a firm stand
against Communist penetration
into Latin America; the conven-
tion on friendship and permanent
consultation; and two declara-
tions dealing with economic and
cultural matters.
Meeting in this southern Brazil-
jan port across the Uruguay River

Their document suggested, fur-

augmented by Brazil’s own “Op

originated by former Brazilian
President Juscelino Kubitschek.
In their joint declaration of
principles, Quadros and Frondizi
pledged firm support of ‘Western
and Christian’ principles. Though
the 700-word communique never
mentioned communism by name,
it aligned the two big nations
against alien interference in the
hemisphere — an indirect refer-
ence to the revolt-torn affairs in
Cuba.

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

DETROIT, May 10.—(U.P)
--Ford Motor company and
“tO officials met today to
attempt settlement of a six-
day-old strike against two
key Ford- plants that will
‘dle a total of 85,000 work-
ers by tonight.
Reopening of negotiations came
as Ford scheduled immediate shut-
‘downs of 11 assembly plants, with
the remaining eight to close by
next Monday.
Henry Ford TJ, youthtul head of
the company, accepted a union offer
to reopen peace talks which were
' cut short last Thursday when 62,200
United Auto Workers struck at
Ford’s River Rouge and Lincoln-
Mercury plants.
‘In his bid to reopen negotiations,
| Walfer Reuther, president of the
UAW, asked Ford to personally
‘lead the company negotiating team.
| Ford deciined the invitation, but
' said, “we will be happy to meet
with you at 2 p.m. (EST).”
| Reuther referred ‘to a letter the
Ford president wrote to striking
workers last week, in which he said
the walkout was “unnecessary.”
“Sinee your letter expresses con-
cern for the Ford workers, we
| would like to suggest that you as-
sume your personal obligations to
participate in negotiations.”
“This will also afford you the op-
portunity,” Reuther said, “of being
apprised of all facts in the situa-
tion, which obviously you do not
have.
1 Ford said John Bugas, vice-pres-
ident in charge of industrial rela.
tions who led previous peace ef-
forts, would conduct company neégo-
tiations with “the full support and
backing of the ,management.”
Reuther said ‘he regretted that
the Ford president would not at
tend the meeting. He said he was
attending “even though it means ]
will be unable to take my regular
hospital treatment.”
Reuther’s right arm has been in
'a sling since an attempt was made
jon his life a year ago.
Locals 600 and 190 of the UAW

speeding up assembly lines at the

| BY JORN MM. HIGRIUW ER
--WASHINGTON (AP)—President
Kennedy meets with former Pres-
ident Dwight D. Eisenhower to-
day in an evident bid to rally
strong national support for ¢riti-
cal steps which he may eonsider
necessary to deal with the in-
creasingly dangerous Cuban cri-
sis.
A White House announceme
of the session—at Camp David,
Md. — emphasized Cuba as the
topic for the conference. But it
did not rule out the prospect that
Kennedy could discuss with his
predecessor a broad range of in-
tensifying cold war conflicts with
the Soviet Union.
Before flying to Camp David
by helicopter Kennedy met with
the National Security Council,
presumably to discuss possible
future moves against the pro-
Communist government of Cuba
in the wake of this weeks abor-
tive anti-Castro invasion.
In the midst of these develop-
ments, the President was report-
ed to have ordered a_ thorough
study of reasons for the defeat
of the rebel invasion attempt
which began last weekend with
the United States moral support
—and, it was generally believed
here, with some backing of U. §.
money and arms.
The President was «understood
to be concerned about what some
authorities called a failure to cal-
culate accurately in advance the
strength of Prime Minister Fidel
"astros military reaction to the
‘ebel assault as well as possible
arrors in intelligence.
White House news secretary
Pierre Salinger disclosed Friday
ight that Kennedy and Bisen-
10wer would meet at Camp Da-
yid, the Catoctin Mountain re-
reat near Gettysburg, Pa., which
‘isenhower used for conferences
vith foreign leaders.
The President arranged the
uncheon session in a_ telephone
all to Eisenhower Friday morni-
ng. The former chief executive

Salinger said Kennedy wanted
> bring Eisenhower up to date
n the Cuban situation, believing
hat “as leader of the Republi-
an party and as former presi-
ent he should know what the sit-
ation is.
Salinger also disclosed that
ennedy had been in indirect con-
ict with Gov. Nelson A. Rocke-
ler of New York, another Re-
ublican leader, and that he had
onferred Friday with Sen. Barry

: London, May 10. (R—A hotly-
‘disputed bill to nationalize mest of
Britain's iron and steel industry
went to the house of lords teday.
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 ig en-
pected generally the upper cham-
ber will riddle it with amendments,
‘and return it to commons which
‘then will restore it virtually to
present form, to become law.
The bill, proposed by the labor
government, went to the house ef
Jords after a conservative motion
in commons to re ject it was defeat-
ed 3320-203.
It authorizes the government to
buy the stock of 107 companies,
but actus! direction of the com.
panies would stay in the hands of
the men who run them now as pri-
vate enterprises. The companies
would work under a government
holding corporation, retaining

Washington, March 7,—(2P)—
President Hoover yesterday ac-
cepted the resignation of Alexander
Legge of Chicago as chairman of
the federal farm board, and appoint-
ed James C. Stone of Kentucky to
succeed him, ;
At the same time President
Hoover announced the appointment
of C.C. Teague of California, a
member of the board, us vice chair-
man, The vacancy Mr. Hoover said,
will not be fined for two or three
weeks.
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, President Hoover
said, created by the elevation of
Stone to the chairmanship will not
be filed for two or three weeks.
Urged to Stay
“Chairman Legge has been urged.
by every farm organization in the
United States to continue his
work,” the president said, “and I
have urged him with ill the force
1] could command. He, however,
eels that he must go back to his
business.”
The retiring farm board chair-
man came inte office nearly two
years ago and has been a storm
center since the Hoover agricultur-
al policy *vas. put into operation.
On -umerous occasion; he has be-
come involved in controversies.
Confident of Success
In a statement at the farm board
about the time the president named
his successor Legge expressed
“greater confidence in the ultimate
success” of the agricultural market-
ing act than when he undertook the
work, The chairman termed his
resignation as “a mere formality.”
“As a matter of fact,” the state-
ment continued, “I have been work-
ing on overtime for nearly eight
months, it being clearly understood
when I accepted the position that it
was for a one-year period in help
ing to get the organization set up
and the work started. :
“The program has progressed to
a point where the organization may
be safely classified as a going con-
cern. I sincerely believe the plan
of operation to be sound and that
the test of time will prove this to
the satisfaction of all interested.
“While results may seem slow, it
is not reasonable to expect that the
condition which has been develop-
ing over generations could be cor-
rected im any brief period of time,
particularly when you take into ac-
count the fact that the industry af-
fected represents some 650,000,000
individual producing units.
Pledges Co-ope ‘ation
“Personally I have a greater con-.
fidence in the ultimate success in
the program laid dowa by congress
in the agricultural marketing act
than when I mnadertook the work
some 20 months ago and will co-
Operate in ywery way I may.as a
Private citizen to bring*this about.”
The chairman said those oppos-
ing the board “are making a lot of
noise but really represent a very
—_ percentage of the American
public,”
The real difficulty the board has
‘o contend with, he added, is in the
slowness of farmers in acting col-
lectively for “their own good.” :
The chairman incorporated in his
farewell Statement an appeal to the
farmers to give the board “an even
greater measure of support than‘in
the past,”
To those disposed to criticize the
board’s actions, Legge suggested
‘that each and every industry in

SHELBY, N. C., Aug. 28.—(#)-—
Six persons were known to have
been killed and several more were
injured when three building in the
business section collapsed here to-
day.
Several others known to have
been in the buildings are 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, clerks in the
First National bank, one unidenti-
fied white man.
As construction crews worked
desperately to clear the tangled
wreckage, it was feared that the
death toll would mount when the
basements of the collapsed struc-
tures were cleared. A construction
crew engaged in excavating under
the buildings was still unaccounted
for and little possibility of its escape

ping to point where _ he
might faint. This temporary
effect was expected because o!
the tendency of astronauts’
blood to pool in their legs, away
from the brain, as a result of
heart laziness induced by long
exposure to the lack of gravity.
Dr. Lawrence Dietlein, a
NASA physician, said the
astronauts looked in “quite
good” health, “far better from
what I personally expected.”
The spacecraft was hoisted
aboard this ship with the pilots
still inside, a switch from past
procedures made to keep the
astronauts’ exertion to a
minimum, Medics were ready
to carry Conrad, Kerwin and
Weitz on stretchers if neces-
sary, from their scorched
capsule to the blue mobile
medical laboratories 66 feet
away.
But the astronauts, smiling
and waving, climbed out of the
Apollo under their own power.
They stood on a wooden
platform briefly, chatting with
Dr. Charles Ross, the flight
suregon, and then carefully
made their way down some
steps and to the special Skylab
clinic.
Conrad, who has been in
space more than anyone,
appeared the most relaxed,
Weitz and especially Kerwin
walked a little bowlegged and
slightly hunched over.
But the fact that they were
able to walk as well as they did
was significant. It meant the
three Americans were in better
shape after spending 28 days in
space than two Russian cos-
monauts were at the end of an
18-day flight in 1970. They had
to be carried from their
spacecraft.
The primary objective of the
Skylab marathon was to see
how well men fare for long
periods of weightlessness and
then adjust to the rigors of
gravity back on earth.
Conrad, Kerwin and Weitz
were undergoing long and
detailed medical tests within an
hour after their 9:50 a.m. ED?
splashdown. Doctors said the
first results would not be known
until late in the day.

WASHINGTON (AP'—President
Kennedy meets with former Pres-
ident Dwight D. Eisenhower to-
day in an evident bid to rally
strong national support for eriti-
cal steps which he may consider
necessary to deal with the 1n-
creasingly dangerous Cuban cri-
Sis.
A White House announcement
of the session—at Camp David,
Md. — emphasized Cuba as the
topic for the conference. But it
did not rule out the prospect that
Kennedy could discuss with his
predecessor a broad range of in-
tensifying cold war conflicts with
the Soviet Union.
Before flying to Camp David
by helicopter Kennedy met with
the National Security Council,
presumably to discuss possible
fulure moves against the pro-
Communist government of Cuba
in the wake of this week’s abor-
tive anti-Castro invasion.
In the midst of these develoo-
ments, the President was repoit-
ed to have ordered a thorough
study of reasons for the defeat
of the rebel invasion attempt
which began Jast weekend ‘with
the United States’ moral support
—and, it was generally believed
here, with some backing of U. S.
money and arms.
The President was understood
to be concerned about what some:
authorities called a failure to cal-
culate accurately in advance the
strength of Prime Minister Fidel)
Castro's military reaction to the
rebel assault as well as possible
errors in intelligence.
White House news seerefary
Pierre Salinger disclosed Friday:
neht that Kennedy and Eisen-
hower would meet at Camp Da-
vid, the Catoctin Mountain re-
treat near Getlysburg, Pa., which
Eisenhower used for conferences
with foreign leaders.
The President arranged the
luncheon session in a telephon2
tall to Eisenhower I*riday morn-:
ling. The former chief cxecutive
‘was at his Geltysburg farm.
| Salinger said Kennedy wanted
to brine Eisenhower up to date
on the Cuban situation, believinz
that “as leader of the Republi-
ean party and as former presi-
dent he should know what the sit-
uation is.”’
Salinger also disclosed — that
'Kennedy had been in indirect con-
‘tact with Gov. Nelson A. Rocke-
feller of New York, another Re-
.publican leader, and that he had
,conferred Friduy with Sen. Barry
‘Goldwater, R-Ariz.
| The contacts with Republicans
followed Kennedy's meeting at the
‘White House Thursday with for-
mer Vice President Richard M.
Nixon, his Republican opponent
for the presidency last year.
Nixon said in New York Friday
night that he had told Kennedy
he would support him ‘even to
the commitment of American
farmed forces.”
Nixon said that as a_ private
citizen he would back Kennedy
in Such a move if Kennedy con-
‘sidered it necessary to ‘‘stop the
‘buildup of the Communist beach-
head in Cuba.”
Both Kennedy and Eisenhower
arranged to fly to Camp David
by helicopter, Kennedy going di-
rectly from the White House and
Fisenhower from his farm. They
last met on inauguration day,
Jan, 20, when Kennedy took over
the reins of government.
Salinger was asked whether,
Kennedy considered the Cubana
situation grave. He said the Pres-,

MOSCOW ‘AP)—Soviet Premier
Nikita Khrushchev told President
Kennedy today the invasion of
Cuba is ‘‘a crime which has re-
volted the whole world.”’
“It has been established incon-
trovertibly that it was the United
States that prepared the interven-
tion, financed, armed and trans-
ported the mercenary’ bands
which invaded Cuba,’ Khrush-
chev said in a message to Presi-
dent Kennedy, handed to 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.’’

BERLIN, May 10. (UP)—Russian
authorities began lifting the Berlin
blockade 40 hours before the dead-
line today when they restored elec-
tric power to parts of the Western
sectors,
| The Soviet action gave American
sector housewives unrationed elec-
tricity in ‘the middle of the morn-
ing for the first time since power
‘rationing was forced upon western
‘Berlin by the Soviet blockade last
July 9.
' Radios played and electric stoves
‘glowed as the power flowed into
‘American sector lines from the So-
Viet sector. All of Berlin's major
‘power yenerating 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 before
ithe Russians cut off the power dur-
ing the first weeks of their block-
ade, will not be effected until some
time Thursday, they said.
Restoration of power was started
-40 hours before the official time set
\for ending the blackade—12:01 a.m.
‘Thursday (6:01 pm. EDT Wednes-
day).
| At that minute the first of 16
‘allied trains a day will begin to roll

transportation 11 months ago.
| Washington, Aug. 28—(P)—What
will the Senate do is the - question
which interests Washington, now that
the Kellog-Briand peace treaty has
been signed.
The answer to it at this time is that
there appears to be no reason why
the pact should not be ratified
promptly but this, view dis qualified
with the admonition that many
things can happen in international
and domestic affairs before next win-
ter to change the current outlook.
The administration is expected to
put the full force of its prestige be-
hind the treaty when it is presented
to the Senate.
Senator Borah, chairman of the
Senate foreign relations conmittee, is
credited with having been fully in-
formed while negotiations for the
treaty were in progress and thus to
have been given the opportunity to
present any objections he may have
had. His full support, therefore, is
counted upon by the administration.
Few senators have expressed them-
selves upon the subject, but as Wash-
ington looks upon the question, par-
tisan political considerations may be
greatly subordinated inasmuch as the
presidential campaign will be so much
water over the dam by the time rat-
jfication is requested.
The fact that the treaty appears to
impose no obligation upon this coun-
try other than to renounce war as an
instrument of national policy, is held
ju. Washington to be a factor arguing
for. Senate approval. In addition both
major political parties have endorsed |
efforts to bring peaceful adjudication
of international disputes to fulfill-
ment.

ABOARD USS TICONDE-
ROGA (AP) — Skylab’s astro-
nautS came safely home from
inan’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 radived as the space-
craft descended through the
clouds and landed within view
of USS Ticonderoga, just 612
niles away. That indicated the
astronauts had suffered no ad-
verse physical reactions on re-
turning to earth’s gravity after
a record four weeks’ expusure
tu space weightlessness.
Ten minutes” later they
Climbed through the — hatch,
Smiled and waved as the ship's
band played ‘Anchors Aweigh”
for the all-Navy Skylab crew.
They walked unsteadily to-
ward a mobile medical labura-
tory, showing some effects
from the four weeks’ expusure
tu weightlessness.
How well Conrad, Kerwin and
Weitz fared in the weightless
world will play a major role in
determining if man can fune-
tion efficiently in future long-
duration flights. The first of the
two 56-day Skylab inissions 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 thei to come
home.
Ten minutes behind schedule,
Conrad, Kerwin and Weitz un-
docked their Apollo ferry ship
and executed aé_ series. of
maneuvers that sent them
Slainming into the atmosphere
above Thailand for the fiery de-
scent.
The Apollo craft hit the calm
blue waters at 9:50 a.n. EDT
about 880 imiles 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 tussed a
line to frogmen in the water. A
crane then lifted the craft and
the astronauts to an elevator
fur a ride to the hangar deck.
After separation they inade a
45-ininute fly-around inspection
of the station, televising pic-
tures of the odd-looking space
vehicle to mission control for
evaluation by experts.
Then in quick succession the
astronauts triggered engine fir-
ings to begin their descent to
earth.

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

Control decided there was noth-
ing the astronauts could do and
told them to come home.
So, 10 minutes behind sched-

docked their Apollo ferry ship
from the station and executed a

them slamming into the atmos-

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.

Detroit — (UP) — Ford Motor
company and CIO officials meet
Tuesday to attempt settlement of
a six-day-old strike against two
key Ford plants that will idle a
total of 85,000 workers by Tuesday
night.
Reopening of negotiations came
as Ford scheduled immediate shut-
downs of 11 assembly lines, with
the remaining eight to close by
next Monday.
Henry Ford II, youthful head of
the company, accepted a union
offer to reopen peace talks which
were cut short last Thursday when
62.200 United Auto Workers
struck at Ford's River Rouge and
Lincoln-Mercury plants.
In his bid to reopen negotiations,
Walter Reuther, president of the
UAW, asked Ford to lead the com-
pany negoiiating team personally.
Ford declined the invitation, but
said “we will be happy to meet
with you at 2 p. m. (CST).”
Suggests Participation
Reuther referred to a letter the
Ford president wrote to striking
workers last week, in which he
said the walkout was “unneces-
sary.”
“Since your letter expresses con-
cern for the Ford workers, we
would like to suggest that you as-
sume your personal obligations to
participate in negotiations.”
“This will also afford you the
opportunity.” Reuther said, “of be
ing apprised of all facta in the situ-
ation, which obviously you do not
have.”
Ford said John Bugas, vice-presi-
dent in charge of industrial rela-
tions who led previous peace ef-
forts, would conduct company ne
gotiations with the “full support
and backing of the management.”
Locals 600 and 190 of the UAW
struck the two plants last Thurs-
day, charging the company with
speeding up assembly lines at the
risk of the “health and safety” of
workers. The company denied any
speedup.
Small Piants Closed
The strike at the heart of the
Ford empire has shut down several
small Ford plants, and caused lay-
offs among the 3,500 major sup-
plier firms to the multi - billion
dollar Ford auto business.
The company's tractor division
at Highland Park, Mich. which
makes one-fifth of the wheel type
tractors in the nation, will close
Tuesday night.
Reuther also proposed that if no
settlement is reached before Fri-
day that Briggs stadium be reserv-
ed for a debate before all affected
Ford workers on disputed issues.
—- turned down the sugges-|
tion.
Opposes Putlic Debate
“I do not agree that anything
useful can be accomplished by aj
public debate on this matter,” he
said. |
“The issues in this strike must)
be resolved on their merits and)
by the conscientious efforts at the
bargaining table by both parties,”)
he said.
Reuther had accepted the offers
of civic officials to mediate the
dispute, but the company refused.
It said “technical” questions were)
involved, and that the contract
provided for arbitration if direct
negotiations failed.

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

| ABOARD USS TICON-
DEROGA (UPI) — Skylab’s
astronauts landed on target in
the Pacific Ocean today and
reported they were in ‘‘super
shape” after a fiery, strenuous
return to earth from a record
28 days in space.
It was a flawless end to a
mission that started with a
failure, and the flight took a
major step toward giving man
a place in space.
Charles ‘Pete’ Conrad, Jo-
seph P. Kerwin and Paul J.
Weitz came back in the Apollo
command ship they took off in
four weeks ago. Their space
station remained in orbit, ready
for its next crew in five weeks.
Recovery forces and controll-
ers back at Houston’s mission
control waited anxiously for
more than a half hour between
the time the ship’s main
brakeing 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
9:50 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 Ameri-
ca’s first space station.
The ship reported the as-
tronauts landed precisely on
target, 843 miles southwest of
San Diego. The Ticonderoga
was 6%2 miles downwind at the
time.
The aircraft carrier moved
quickly to the side of the
bobbing, scorched spacecraft
and hoisted it aboard, using a
single nylon rope 1% inches in
diameter.
It was the first 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,
Kerwin, America’s first space
physician, took his own and
then the pulse rate and blood
pressure of his colleagues to
determine how their bodies
were withstanding the rigors of
gravity after going without it
for four weeks.
Before the Apollo hatch was
opened, technicians attached
plugs and fuel vent lines to the
control rocket nozzles.
Kerwin briefed Dr. Charles
Ross, the Skylab flight surgeon,
on the pilots’ condition before
the hatch was opened.
Doctors had feared that blood
would rush to the pilots’ legs as
they stood because of a
temporary weakened condition
of the circulatory systems
resulting’ from the long expo-
sure to the lack of gravity.
Such blood pooling could cause
a man to pass out.
The Apollo was lined up for
its dive into the atmosphere
when Conrad fired the ship's
main engine at 6:05 a.m. This
lowered the low point of the
orbit from 262 to 104 miles.
The pilots used their televi-
sion camera to beam back to
mission control their parting
view of the world’s largest
spaceship.
“This is quite a sight to all us
guys on the ground that haven't
seen it yet,’ said communica-
tor Richard Truly in Houston.
Skylab’s windmill - shaped
solar panels stood out clearly
atop the station’s big, white
solar observatory section. To
one side was the larger power
generating wing the pilots freed
15 days ago. On top was the
orange sun umbrella they
raised May 26.
=
The astronauts’ undocking
from Skylab occurred at 4:55
a.m., 10 minutes late because
of brief problems with the
research ship's control system
That difficulty was the result of
an earlier maneuver designed
to warm up what appeared to
be a frozen space station
radiator.
The primary objective of the
Orbital marathon was to see
how well men fare for long
periods in weightlessness and
then adjust to the stress of the
deceleration into earth's atmos-
phere and the rigors of gravity.
Hinging on the medical results
are plans to send two more
crews up to Skylab for 56 days
each.
The first medical results
from Conrad, Kerwin and Weitz
were expected late today after
doctors complete — six - hour
physical examinations in spe-
cial, blue mobile laboratories
mounted on the carrier's
hangar deck.
In-flight tests showed the
astronauts’ hearts had deve-
loped laziness as expected in
the relative easy environment
of weightlessness) Doctors
planned to measure the extent
of this deconditioning. Other
tests were designed to measure
the loss of calcium from bones,
body fldid loss, blood changes
and other spaceflight reactions.
The pilots brought frozen
blood and body waste speci-
mens with them to help
medical scientists conduct the
most detailed physiological
tests ever conducted on return-
ing spacemen.
Their command module also
was loaded with film canisters
holding 30,000 of the best
pictures of the sun ever taken,
more than 14,000 earth re-
sources photographs and nine
miles of magnetic tape that
recorded other earth sensing
data.
Also removed from the eight-
room space station were
numerous other experiment
results.

in their space station. But Mission Control

An anti-Castro radio broadcast from an island off Central
America today told two rebel battalions apparently fighting
on Cuban soil that help was on the way and urged them not
to surrender.
The appeal from Swan Island was made a few hours after
the Castro goverpment put before Havana television cameras
some prisoners captured after last weekend’s invasion. One
admitted their mission failed and said not many rebels had
escaped. Others said propaganda from Swan Island and

The Swan Island broadcast,

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-

ABOARD USS TICONDEROGA (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 Apollo
ferry ship ta a medical laboratory in-
dicated Charles Conrad Jr., Dr. Joseph
P. Kerwin and Paul J. Weitz had suf-
fered some effects from a record four
weeks’ exposure to space
weightlessness
But Commander Conrad reported as
the Apollo parachuted taward a pinpoint
landing in the Pacific afler an 11-
millionmile journey: We're all in good
shape. Everything's OK.”
They splashed down right on target,
just 64 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
hift them out on litters.
But, alter 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 bul gradually picked up steam as
he reached the medical lab door, Kerwin
was slightly stooped and buth he and
oud somewhat unsteady in their
steps.
Doctors assisted both Kerwin and
‘Weitz by hokling 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 workd will play a
major role in determining if man can
function efficiently in future tong-
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
inte the almosphere above Thailand for
the fiery descent.
The Apollo craft hit the calm biue
waters at 9:50 a.m. EDT about 330 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 fregmen in the
water. A crane then lifted the craft and
the astronauts to an elevator for a ride io
the hangar deck.
Hundreds of white-clad sailors on deck
and millions watching television around
ihe world again had a ringside seat toa
U.S. man-in-space landing as the Apollo
eraft fozied down through kow-hanging
clouds and dangling under three huge
urange 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 fotatian
collars.
The Ticonderoga reported the
astronauts had landed 67, miles from
ihe ship and that the ship was 6!2 miles
from the target point, indicating a
perfect touchdown.
‘The Ticonderoga sleamed to pick up
the Apollo capsule with the astronauts
stiJl inside, in contrast to most earlier
US. flights when the spacemen were
lifted to Ihe carrier by helicopter.
Medical requirements dictated the
pick up method today.
Medical experts were nef certain how
the astrenauts would react afler
returning to earth's gravily following
record exposure to space weightlessness
so they decided the astronauts should be
subjected to as little activity as possible
until they can be examined in 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
cireled the earth 395 .
| ABOARD USS TICONDEROGA
(AP) — Skylab’s astronauts came
safely home from man’s longest
space journey today, splashing down
with pin-point precision in the
Pacific Ocean after 28 days and 11
million miles in orbit.
“We're all in good shape,”’
Commander Charles Conrad Jr.
reported as the spacecraft de-
scended. “Everything's OK.”
The astronauts almost were held
over in orbit to try to repair a
refrigeration problem in their space
station. But Mission Control decided
there was nothing the astronauts
could do and told them to come
home.
So, 10 minutes behind schedule,
Conrad, Dr. Joseph P. Kerwin and
Paul J. Weitz undocked their Apollo
ferry ship from the station and
executed a series of maneuvers that
sent them slamming into the atmos-
phere above Thailand for a fiery
descent.
The Apollo craft hit the calm
Pacific waters at 9:50 a.m. EDT
about 830 miles southwest of San
Diego, Calif., within sight of the
main recovery ship, the USS
Ticonderoga. It was just after dawn
off the West Coast.
Hundreds of white-clad sailors on
deck and millions watching
television around the world again
had a ringside seat to a U.S. man-in-
a landing as the Apollo craft
floated down through low-hanging
clouds and dangling under three
huge orange and white parachutes.
“Everyone's in super shape,”
Conrad said as the spacecraft
bobbed on the water awaiting
pickup. Frogmen immediately
lea from helicopters to secure
the spacecraft with flotation collars.
The Ticonderoga reported the
astronauts had landed 6'2 miles
from the ship and that the ship was
6'» miles from the target point,
indicating a perfect touchdown.
The landing completed an historic
space mission that lasted 28 days
and 50 minutes. During that time the
spacemen circled the earth 395
times.
Misson Control was kept in
suspense for most of the final 76
minutes of the flight — a period
when the Apollo ship was out of radio
contact with ground stations.
The Ticonderoga’s radar picked
up the streaking craft at a distance
of 188 miles, 10 minutes before
landing.
While out of radio contact, at 9:11
m., the astronauts conducted the
critical retrorocket burn that slowed
their 17,100 mile-an-hour speed by
130 miles, allowing earth's gravity to
tug the spacecraft out of orbit and
start the long glide through the
atmosphere to the eastern Pacific.
The refrigeration trouble caused
considerable concern. A maneuver
intended to correct it caused a brief
gyroscope problem that caused the
10-minute delay in the astronauts’
departure from the orbiting labora-
tory.
“We're free,’’ Conrad reported
seconds after the control center
flashed the go-ahead for undocking
from the 118-foot-long laboratory.
They left behind a space station
which they had salvaged with some
daring, difficult and often ingenious
repair tasks after it was damaged
during launching May 14.
After the undocking. the as-
tronauts made a 45-minute fly-
around inspection of the station,
televising pictures of the odd-looking
space vehicle to mission control for
evaluation by experts.
Then, in quick succession, they
triggered the engine firings that
gradually mag er ped them closer to
earth from ir —— orbital
altitude of 275 miles
To get the astronauts to medical
trailers on board as ow a as
possible after landing,
was to steam to the — capsule
and hoist it on deck with a crane. In
earlier U.S. manned space flights,
the astronauts were plucked by
helicopter from their floating
spaceships.
Speed in retrieving the astronauts
is essential because doctors are
keenly interested in their initial
reaction to earth gravity after four
weeks’ exposure to weightlessness.
“In general, the three crewmen
are in good health,’’ said Dr. Royce
Hawkins, the astronauts’ chief
physician, Thursday. ‘‘The re-entry
stress and reintroduction to gravity
is the critical period in question
now.”
Testing just how well man can
withstand the deconditioning effects
of living for long periods in space is
one of the main objectives of the
Skylab program.
Two more missions are planned,
with the Skylab 2 and 3 crews
scheduled to rocket up to the
laboratory on July 27 and in October.
They'll remain aboard for 56 days
each, continuing the medical, earth
resources, solar astronomy, space
manufacturing and other ex-
periments started by the first crew.
Like vacationers closing a sum-
mer house, Conrad, Kerwin and
Weitz on Thursday cleaned up the
ce station for Skylab 2. They
slept five hours and wakened at 8:30
p.m. to start a long re-entry day.
They transferred into the Apollo ship
and checked its systems for several
hours.
The Golden Triangle will revel
in very pleasant weekend
weather, according to the latest
forecasts. See page 8.

from wooden balconies and win-
dow ledges.
Two women who jumped from
the fourth floor were in a serious

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-
lent physical condition.
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
in the Pacific after an 11-million-mile jour-
“ “We're all in good shape. Everything’s
IK."
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
of extensive medica! 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 firs
but gradually picked up steam ashe reachet
the medical lab door. Kerwin was slightls
stooped and both he and Weitz were some-
what unsteady in thelr 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 equip-
ment from medical, earth resources and
astronomy experiments that may tell man
much about his earth, his sun and his physi-
rr] heing,
| 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
ATID AUP TE Uihdt Ce Ue SspaCemen
circled the earth 395 times.
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 cos-
monauts died during re-entry be-
cause of faulty hatch seal.

DETROIT, May 10.—(UP)—Ford Motor company and

of 85,000 workers by tonight.
Reopening of negotiations
came as Ford scheduled im-
mediate shutdowns of 11 as-'
sembly lines, with the re-|
maining ‘eight to close by
next Monday.
Henry Ford II, youthful head of
the company, accepted a union of-
fer to reopen peace talks which
were cut short last Thursday when
62,200 United Auto Workers struck
at Ford’s River Rouge and Lincoln-
Mercury plants. ‘
In his bid to reopen negotiations,
Walter Reuther, president of the
UAW, asked Ford to personally
lead the company negotiating team.
Ford declined the invitation, but
said “we will be happy to meet
with you at 2 p. m. (EST).”
Reuther referred to a letter the
Ford president wrote to striking
workers last week, in which he
said the walkout was “unneces-
| sary.”
“Since your letter expresses con-
cern for the Ford workers, we
would like to suggest that you as-
sume your personal obligations to
participate in negotiations.”
| “This will also afford you the
|opportunity,” Reuther said, “of be-
ing apprised of all facts in the
situation, which obviously you do
not have.”
Ford said John Bugas, vice
president in charge of industrial
relations who led previous peace
\efforts, would conduct company
; negotiations with “the full support
‘land backing of the management.”
-| Reuther said he regretted that
| the Ford president would not at-
|,tend the meeting. He said he was
}}attending “even though it means |
will be unable to take my regular
| hospital treatment.”
Reuther’s right arm has been in
-\a sling since an attempt was made
|; on his life a year ago.
“The issues involved and the
welfare of workers on strike have
an importance that outweighs any
| personal consideration,” he said.
'| Loeals 600 and 190 of the UAW
' struck the two plants last Thurs.
day, charging the company with
speeding up assembly lines at the
.|risk of the “health and safety” of
| workers. The company denied an}
speedup.
The strike at the heart of the
Ford empire has shut down sev.

the Kellog-Brinnd peace trenty has
been signed.
The-anawer to i¢ at this time ts
that there appenrs to be no reason
why the pact should net be ratified

the current outlook,
Fortified by an undeniable pubtie

In the light of facts us they now

The senator fs eredited with having
been fully informed while negotla-
'tiong far the treaty were in pragress

portunity to present any objections he
may have had. His ful support, there-

What serious objections, if any, the
meambhearsa of ths senate would. bring
up to block the consent which is nec-
essary to muke the treaty binding

not altogether clear since few senators
have expressed themselves upon the

the question, however, partisan politi

BOTT PARTIES FOR IT
The slmple language in which the
trenty is phrased, the success of Sec-

that the treaty appears to impose ne

Among the interesting speculations
is whether the opponents of the ind-

WASHINGTON (AP) — A Re-
publican member of the Senate
Watergate committee says the
Nixon _ administration has
“‘stepped on’’ anyone willing to
search for the truth about Wa-
tergate.
Sen. Lowell O. Weicker Jr.,
who made the claim Thursday,
also said that fired White
House Counsel John W. Dean
III should be listened to when
he appears before the panel.
Dean, who has said he dis-
cussed Watergate and a pos-
sible coverup with President
Nixon, will be the lead-off wit-
ness when the hearings resume
next week.
“I think there is a great deal
of credibility to a story that he
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 Pub-
lic Television show, ‘Evening
Edition.”” He was interviewed
by Martin Agronsky.
“Is his testimony credible? I
think it is. ‘“‘Nobody’s attribut-
ing 100-per-cent credibility to
him or any other witness, but
he’s got the guts to stand out
there and that’s no small thing
when you were in his position
and had all the pressures that
obviously must have existed on
this young man at the time to
decide that you’re going to step
forward and tell the story to
the American people.”
Weicker was the sole oppo-
nent of the committee’s deci-
sion to postpone Dean’s appear-
ance for one week last Tuesday
because of the summit confer-
ences this week between Nixon
and Soviet Communist Party
leader Leonid I. Brezhnev.
“It should be clear from vari-
ous public statements that have
been made that any institution,
whether it’s a witness, anybody
that’s willing to step out and
try to find out the truth and try
to tell the truth is gonna’ get
steppec on by the executive
branch of government,’”’ the
Connecticut senator said.
He cited Vice President Spiro
T. Agnew’s recent attack on the
Watergate panel as one that
“can hardly hope to find the
truth and hardly fail to muddy
the waters of justice,’ as an
example of the executive
branch’s efforts.
Meanwhile, the committee
said it was considering a halt
to the practice of talking to
prospective witnesses in secret
because so much supposedly
confidential information is
leaked to the media.
“I nearly dspair of doing
anything about it,” committee
Vice Chairman Howard H. Bak-
er, R-Tenn., said Thursday. “It
means that the committee
probably will end its closed-
oor sessions with witnesses,
which until now have been held
routinely in advance of public
appearances.
News stories Thursday fea-
tured accounts of closed-door
testimony by Dean and Water-
gate conspirator E. Howard
Hunt.
Also Thursday, another con-
gressional investigation into
Watergate-related matters was
announced, this one by the
House Internal Security Com-
mittee.
Chairman Richard Ichord, D-
Mo., said he wants to find out
why the White House formed
the “plumbers” group that bur-
glarized the office of Daniel
Ellsberg’s psychiatrist in 1971.

dered the “plumbers” to plug

because of the summit confer-

and Soviet Communist Party

“It should be clear from vari-

that’s willing to step out and

He cited Vice President Spiro
T. Agnew’s recent attack on the
Watergate panel as one that
“can hardly hope to find the
truth and hardly fail to muddy
the waters of justice,’ as an
example of the executive
branch's efforts.
Meanwhile, the committee
said it was considering a halt
to the practice of talking to

WASHINGTON (AP) — The
leaders of the world’s two nu-
clear superpowers pledged in
a landmark agreement today
to regulate their relations ina
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 coun.
tries 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 confrontations, 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 countries, in cir-
cumstances which may en-
danger 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 Soviet invasion
of Czechoslovakia.
Kissinger noted, however,
that U.S. air strikes against
Communist forces in Cam-
bodia were under way at the
time the agreement was being
negotiated and that the
bombing ‘“‘was not raised as
applying to that particular
situation.”’

The agreement is of unlimited duration and, unlike a

The 600-word document calls for the countries to
‘immediately enter into urgent consultations” at any
time international tensions reach a point where the risk of
nuclear war is involved.
The agreement was reached as the two leaders looked
ahead to a reunion summit in Moscow in 1974—the target
date for formally limiting the atomic arsenals of the two

flying suit inflated to compensate
for the loss of pressure in the
cabin.
“IT was still able to function

Eisenhower used for conferences
with foreign leaders.
Call to Ike
The President arranged the

was at his Gettysburg farm.. _
Salinger said Kennedy wanted
to bring Eisenhower up to date
on the Cuban situation, believing

ABOARD USS TICONDEROGA (UPI) — Skylab’s astro-
nauts landed on target in the Pacific Ocean today and re-
ported 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 fail-
ure, 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 @rbit,
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 re-
— “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 8:50
a.m. CDT 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 tar-
get, 843 miles southwest of San Diego. The Ticonderoga was
6% miles downwind at the time.
The aircraft carrier moved quickly to the side of the bob-
bing, 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 9:28 a.m., a fast 38 minutes
after splashdown.
Before leaving the spacecraft, Kerwin, America’s first
space physician, took his own and then the pulse rate and
blood pressure of his colleagues to determine how their
bodies were withstanding the rigors of gravity after going
without it for four weeks.
Before the Apollo hatch was opened, technicians attached
plugs and fuel vent lines to the control rocket nozzles.
Kerwin briefed Dr. Charles Ross, the Skylab flight sur-
geon, On the pilots’ condition before the hatch was opened.
Doctors had feared that blood would rush to the pilots’
legs as they stood because of a temporary weakened condi-
tion of the circulatory systems resulting from the long ex-
posure to the lack of gravity. Such blood pooling could cause
a man to pass out.
The primary objective of the orbital marathon was to see
how well men fare for long periods in weightlessness and
then adjust to the stress of the deceleration into earth’s at-
mosphere and the rigors of gravity. Hinging on the medical
results are plans to send two more crews up to Skylab for 56
days each.
The first medical results from Conrad, Kerwin and Weitz
were expected late today after doctors complete six-hour
physical examinations in special, blue mobile laboratories
mounted on the carrier’s hangar deck.
The pilots brought frozen blood and body waste specimens
with them to help medical scientists conduct the most de-
tailed physiological tests ever conducted on returning space-
men.
The next Skylab crew, meanwhile, was in Huntsville, Ala.,
today practicing spacewalk activities in the large water tank
that Conrad, Kerwin and Weitz used to prepare for their
work outside the spacecraft.
Skylab 2 astronauts Alan L. Bean, Owen K. Garriott and
Jack R. Lousma are scheduled to take off from Cape Kenne-
dy July 27 and spend 56 days aboard Skylab—double the stay
of their predecessors.

ABOARD USS TICONDEROGA (AP)—Skylab’s
astronauts came safely home from man’s longest space
journey today, splashing down with pinpoint preci-
sion in the Pacific Ocean after 28 days and 11 million
miles in orbit.
Just 39 minutes after touch-
down, Charles Conrad Jr., Dr.
Joseph P. Kerwin and Paul J.
Weitz, were hoisted onto the
deck of this recovery carrier,
still inside their Apollo ferry
ship.
“We're all in good shape. Ev-
erything’s OK,’ commander
Conrad radioed as the space-
craft descended through the
clouds and landed within view
of the- Ticonderoga, just 61%
miles away. That indicated the
astronauts had suffered no ad-
verse ‘physical reactions on re-
turning to earth’s gravity after
a record four weeks’ exposure
to space weightlessness.
Ten minutes later they
climbed through the hatch,
smiled and waved as the ship's
band played ‘Anchors’ Aweigh”
for the all-Navy Skylab crew.
They walked unsteadily to-
ward a mobile medical labora-
tory, showing some effects
from the four weeks’ exposure
to weightlessness. .
How well Conrad, Kerwin and
Weitz fared in the weightless
world will play a major role in
determining if man can fune-
tion efficiently in future long-
duration flights. The first of the
two 56-day Skylab missions is

The astronauts almost were
held over in orbit today to try
to repair a refrigeration prob-
lem in their space station. Bu
mission control decided there
was nothing the astronauts
could do and told them to come
home.
Ten minutes behind schedule,
Conrad, Kerwin and Weitz’ un-
docked their Apollo ferry ship
and execuled a series of
maneuvers that sent them
slamming into the atmosphere
above Thailand for the fiery de-
scent. .

about 830 miles southwest of
San Diego, Calif. It was just
after dawn off the West Coast.
The 42,000-ton Ticonderoga
quickly steamed alongside the
three-ton Apollo and tossed a
line to frogmen in the water. A
crane then lifted the craft and
the astronauts to an elevator
for a ride to the hangar deck.
Hundreds of whiteclad sail-
ors on deck and millions watch-
ing television around the world
once again had a ringside seat
to a U.S. man-in-space landing
as the Apollo craft floated down
through low-hanging clouds and
dangling under three huge or-
ange and white parachutes.
“Everyone’s in super shape,”
Conrad said as the spacecraft
bobbed on the waler awaiting
pickup. Frogmen immediately
leaped from helicopters to se-
cure the spacecraft with flota-
tion collars.
The Ticonderoga reported the
astronauts had landed 61% miles
from the ship and that the ship
was 6% miles from the target
point, indicating a perfect
touchdown.
The Ticonderoga steamed to
pick up the Apollo capsule with
the astronauts still inside, in

flights when the spacemen
were lifted to the carrier by

can be examined in mobile

The landing completed an
historic space mission that Iast-
ed 28 days and 50 minutes. Dur-

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

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-muillion-
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 preparec
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

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 w a
mission that started with a
failure, and the flight took a giant
step toward giving 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

than a half hour between the time
the ship’s main. braking rocket
ab and Conrad reported,
verything’s okay,’’ while the
shi 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 9:50
a.m. EDT within view of a
television camera aboard this
veteran aircraft carrier.
“‘Everybody’s in super shape,”’
said Conrad, the veteran com-
mander of America’s first space
station.
The ship reported the as-
tronauts landed precisely on
target, 843 miles southwest of San
Diego. The Ticonderoga was 614
miles downwind at the time.
The aircraft carrier moved
quickly to the side of the bobbing,
scorched spacecraft and hoisted
it aboard, using a singie nylon
iy 1% inches in diameter.
t 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
laced on an elevator deck, 25
eet above the water, at 10: 28
a.m., a fast 38 minutes after
splashdown.
‘‘We’ve all got our seat belts
fastened so hoist us right up,”
said Conrad, a Navy captain, as
the line was hooked to a loop at
the top of the command ship.
Before leaving the spacecraft,
Kerwin, America’s first space
physician, took his own and then
the pulse rate and blood pressur:,
of his colleagues to determine
how their bodies were
withstanding the rigors of gravity
after going without it for four
weeks.
Before the Apollo hatch was
opened, technicians attached
plugs and fuel vent lines to the
control rocket nozzles.
Kerwin briefed Dr. Charles
Ross, the Skylab flight surgeon,
on the pilots’ condition before the
hatch was opened.
Doctors had feared that blood
would rush to the pilots’ legs as
they stood because of a tem-
porary weakened condition of the
circulatory systems resultin
from the long exposure to the lac
of gravity. Such blood pooling
could cause a man to pass out.
The Apolio was lined up for its
dive into the
the low point of the orbit from 262
to 104 miles.
The pilots sed their television
camera to beam back to mission
control their parting view of the
world’s largest Spaceship.
“This is quite a sight to all us
guys on the ground that haven't
seen it yet,” said communicator
Richard Truly in Houston.
Skylab’s windmill-shaped solar
panels stood out Clearly atop the
station’s big, white solar ob-
servatory section. To one side
was the larger power generating
wing the pilots freed 15 days ago.
On top was the orange sun um-
brella they raised May 26.
The primary objective of the
orbital marathon was to see how
well men fare for long periods in
weightlessness and then adjust to
the stress of the deceleration into
earth’s atmosphere and the
rigors of gravity. Hinging on the
medical results are plans to send
two more crews up to Skylab for
56 days each.
The first medical results from
Conrad, Kerwin and Weitz were
expected late today after doctors
complete six-hour physical
examinations in special, blue
mobile laboratories mounted on
the carrier’s hangar deck.
In-flight tests showed the
astronauts hearts had developed
laziness as expected in the
relative easy environment of
weightlessness. Doctors planned
to measure the extent of this
deconditioning. Other tests were
designed to measure the loss of
calcium from bones, body fluid
loss, blood changes and other
spaceflight reactions.
The pilots brought frozen blood
and body waste imens with
them to help medical scientists
conduct the most detailed
physiological tests ever con-
ducted on returning spacemen.

MIAMI, Fla.: (AP)—Two rebel
battalions, apparently fighting
Castro forces on Cuban soil, were
urged not to surrender in a broad-
cast today from Radio Swan. They
were told help is on its way.
| The two units were identified
as “Battalions 2 ar 5” in a
broadcast heard at the Associated
Press Miami monitoring station.
The same broadcast repeated
previous instruction to a_ unit
called ‘‘Mision Alborada”’ to ad-
vance. ‘‘Alborada’’ is a Spanish
word for dawn. Dicti-naries give
it a military meaning of ‘‘dawn
battle.”
“Battalions 7 and 4’’ were urged
by the Swan broadcast to ‘‘Pro-
ceed to Point Z.’’ Instructions
also were repeated for ‘Air
Group North Point’’ to proceed
to point “‘Nino .3 N-£"’ “‘Squad-
rons 4 and 5"' were described as
protecting Operation Alborada.
Radio Swan is a powerful anti-
Castro transmitter broadcasting
from Swan Island in the Carib-
bean, off the Central American
coast. It can be heard in Miami
at 1190 on the broadcast band
and at 6 megacycles on the short
wave band.
The newscast said that exiles
in Miami are planning a hunger
strike.
The strike will continue until
the Organization of American

Western Hemisphere, including
the United States, act to stop
“the bloodbath ‘1 Cuba,” the

ABOARD USS_ TICONDE-
ROGA (AP) — Skylab’s astro-
nauts came home safely today
from man’s longest space jour-
ney and shunned stretchers to
walk smartly but unsteadily
across the deck of this recovery
carrier.
The wobbly 60 steps from the
Apollo ferry ship to a medical
laboratory indicated Charles
Conrad Jr., Dr. Joseph P. Ker-
win and Paul J. Weitz had suf-
fered some effects from a
record four weeks’ exposure to
space weightlessness.
But Commander Conrad re-
ported as the Apollo parachuted
toward a pinpoint landing in
the Pacific after an 11-million-
mile journey: ‘‘We're all in
good shape. Everything's OK.”
They splashed down right on
target, just 614 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.

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.

this week's abortive anti-Cas-
tro invasion.
In the midst of these devel-
opments, the President was
reported to have ordered a
thorough study of reasons for
the defeat of the rebel inva-
sion attempt which began last
weekend with the United
States’ moral support —
and, it was generally be-
lieved here, with some back-
ing of U. S. money and arms.
The President was under-
stood to be concerned about
what some authorities called
a failure to calculate accu-
rately in advance the strength
of Prime Minister Fidel Cas-
tro’s military reaction to the
rebel assault as well as_ pos-
sible errors in intelligence.
White House News Secre-
tary Pierre Salinger disclosed
at Camp David, the Catoctin
Mountain retreat near G et-
tysburg, Pa., which Eisen-
hower used for conferences
with foreign leaders.
The President arranged the
luncheon session ina tele-
phone call to Eisenhower Fri-}

tive was at his Gettysburg):
farm.
Salinger said Kennedy)
wanted to bring Eisenhower)
up to date on the Cuban situ-)
ation, believing that ‘‘as lead-

and as former president he
should know what the situa-
tion is.”’
Salinger also disclosed that
Kennedy had been in indir
of New York, another Repub-
lican leader, and that he had
conferred Friday with Sen.
Goldwater (R-Ariz).
THE CONTACTS with oth-
er Republican leaders fol.-
lowed Kennedy’s meeting at
the White House Thursday
with former Vice President
Nixon, his GOP opponent for
the presidency last year.
Nixon said in New York
Friday night that he had told
Kennedy he would support};
him ‘‘even tothe commit-

forces.’’
Nixon said that as a pr i-l]

Kennedy in such a move if};
Kennedy considered it nec-
essary to ‘‘stop the’ buildup
of the Communist beach-|,
head in Cuba.”’

ally have taken the line in
private talks with newsmen
that they do not contemplate
any emergency steps but pre-
fer to work in cooperation
with Allies if possible.
However, available _infor-
mation from authofities here
leaves no doubt that Castro’s
defeat of the rebel invasion
was a severe blow to Wash-
ington’s hopes that the inva-
sion would put an end to
Communist influence in Cuba
and the use of the island as a
base for Communist mi1i-
tary power. Castro is report-
ed to have received very
heavy deliveries of Soviet
arms, and in his speech
Thursday Kennedy spoke of
the use of ‘Communist
tanks’’ in crushing the inva-

MOSCOW (AP)—Soviet Premier
Nikita Khrushchev ‘told President
Kennedy today the invasion of
Cuba is ‘a crime which has re-
volted the whole world.”
“It has been established incon-
trovertibly that it was the United
States that prepared the interven-
tion, financed, armed and trans-
ported the mercenary bands
which invaded Cuba,’ Khrush-
chev said in a message to Presi-
dent Kennedy, handed to 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 Bed;
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.’
The Soviet premier went on to
mention the situation in the Far
East. He contended the United
States had seized Formosa, and
said this started the United States
“on the road of plunder.”
He said the United States
threatens war in case Communist
China moves for unity with Fors
mosa.
“And this is being done by a
nation which has officially recog-
nized that Taiwan (Formosa) be-
longs to China,”” Khrushchev said.
The premier continued:
* You may, of course, express
your sympathies for the imperial-
ist and colonialist countries, and
this will not surprise anyone. For
instance, you vote with them in
the United Nations.
“This is a matter of your
morality. But what has been done
against Cuba is no longer
morality. This is terism.”’ .
Rerusheae said the. United Na-
awit the © me : mem
considers itself er take
such measures against Cuba as it
has been resorting to of late, the
U.S. president must recognize
that other countries have no less-
er reasons to act in a similar way
with regard to states on whose
territory preparations are indeed
being made which constitute a
threat to the security of the Se-
viet Union,” he said.
| “We, for our part, do not hold
such views.”’ he continued.

ment that rockets that might

“Mr, President, you are fol-
lowing a very dangerous

der that.” .
Kennedy could discuss with his
{predecessor a broad range of in-
tensifying cold war conflicts with
the Soviet Union.

St. Louis, Aug. 27.—(P)—John J.
Raskob, chairman of the demo-
cratic national committee, predict-
ed, upon his arrival here late today
with a group of eastern democratic
leaders, that Governor Smith would
receive 309 of the 531 electoral votes:
for president. z
Naming the states which he
thought Smith would carry, Ras-
kob’s formal statement, prepared
en route to the notification exer-
elses for Senator Joe T. Robinson
at Hot Springs, Ark., claimed also
for Smith an even chance to carry
other states having a total of fifty-~
seven electors,
States Ho Claims.
Raskob, who will confer heta
with democratic leaders of eight
middle western states before pro-
ceeding to Hot Springs Wednesday
night, claimed for Governor Smith
the solid south, including Kentucky,
Tennessee and Oklahoma; New
York, New. Jersey, Rhode Island,
Wisconsin, Arizona, Colerado, Mary-
land, Massachusetts, Minnesota,
Montana, Nebraska, Missouri, New
Mexico and Nevada.
There seemed little doubt, Ras-
kob said, that Connecticut, Dela-
ware, Indiana, North Dakota, South
Dakota and Wyoming should he
classified for Smith, These. states,
however, were set apart: in the
statement from the list of states
which he sald “any prudent busi-
‘ness man would at this time claa-
sify for Smith.” .
Accompanying Raskob were Mrs.
Franklin D. Roosevelt, in charge of
women’s activities for Smith; Mrs.
John A, Warner, daughter of the
presidential nominee; Jouett
Shouse of Kansas, former assistant
secretary of the treasurer and now
& member of the adylsory commit-
tee of the democratic national com-
mittee; United States Senator Peter
G. Gerry of Rhole Island, chairman
of the advisory committee; and
Mrs, Nellie Tayloe Ross, former
governor of Wyoming.
Hawes Meets Party.
Senator Harry B, Hayes, chair-
man of the central regional divi-
sion headquarters of the demo-
cratic national committee, met Ras-
keb and hia party at Terre Haute,
Ind., and returned with them.
Democratic state chairmen, na-
tional committeemen and commit-
teewomen, officers of senatorial
and congressional committees, can-
didates and other party leaders-
from eight states in the central
western district will meet with Ras-
kob In separate state conferences
Tuesday and Wednesday. The
states are Missourl, Kansas, Okla-
homa, Nebraska, Kentucky, Ten-
nessee, Illinoia and Iowa.
Of the eight states Raskob laid
claim to Missouri, Kentucky, Ten-
nessee and Oklahoma and placed
the others in the category of bat-
tle ground for the electoral votes.
Raskob said business *is Hot
afraid of Smith and that it has ‘ho
need to fear. He said the repub-
lican “full dinner pail argument”
would not avail in the present
campaign. In New York, Raskob
added, the business element has the
utmost confidence in Smith and are
fully aware that no legitimate in-
dustry would suffer by his election.
Raskob's Forecast.
The election forecast prepared
and made public by Raskob fol- -
lows:
"It is difficult to accurately fore-
cast the result of an election. Tam
very sure, however, that with the
information at hand any reason-
ably prudent business man would
at this time classify the following
states, having 309 electoral votes, in

London—L?)—A. hotly-disputed
i bill to nationalize most of Brit-
lain’s iron and steel industry

\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-
| pectea generally the upper
chamber will riddle it with
amendments, and return it toa
commons, which then wiil restore
it virtually to present form, tc

Socialists call the bill an “at.
tack on the heart of capitalism,”
because control of iron and steel
means control essentially of Brit.

The bill, proposed by the labor
government, went to the house

tion in commons to reject it was
defeated 230-203.
Private Direction
It authorizes the government
to buy the stock of 107 compan:
jes, but actual direction of the
companies would stay in the
hands of the men who run them
now as private enterprises. The
companies would work under a
' government holding corporation.
‘retaining their present fi
Inames. They would be free te
compete with one another, but
‘not io the point of clashing with
the holding corporation’s overall
general plan. .
Under the measure the govern.
ment would pay £300,000,00C
($1,200,000,000) fcr the stock o!
the 107 companies. The firms,
which employ 300,000 of Britain’s
495,000 iron and steel workers
‘are capitalized at 1£195,000,00C
