Sugimoto said. He added that
"just circling the earth has no
particular value" unless the
Soviets had some special ex-
pertinent in mind last month
Phrased more succinctly in
everyday language. the con-
trast between American public
ity and Soviet secrecy was ap-
parent in the mind of a South
American who said:

to put your space flight on tel

Heat Scars

On Capsule

CAPE CANAvERAL. Fla,
May 6 (AP).-Its paint some
what scorch e d. the cone
shaped capsule which carried
Alan B. Shepard, jrs was re-
turned today to this spaceport.
The same Marine helicopter
that picked Cmdr. Shepard
and his space chamber from
the Atlantic yesterday hauled
it this morning from the car
rier Lake Champlain to the
Cape.
The carrier sailed to within
a few miles of the missile test
center so the helicopter could
make the delivery.
With the 3,000-pound cham
ber attached to its underside
by cable, the chopper moved
in over the Cape and lowered
it to a patch of grass. Techni-
clans gave the capsule a quick
check, then had it hauled to a
hangar for more detailed ex-
animation.
On this first check, the teen
nicians found the controls in
apparent good shape, the in
terror dry and the outer sur
face undamaged except for
heat scars on the painted
words United States"
This damage was inflicted oy
the terrific heat generated
when the capsule plunged back
into the friction Of the atmos-
phere.

Comdr. Sheppard was toasted
with champagne when he ar

any himself.
He had to be satisfied with
a big shrimp cocktail. a roast

MEDAL OF HONOR
GIVEN ONLY TWO
NOT IN COMBAT
BY the Associated Press

If the Medal of Honor is
awarded to Comdr. Alan B.
Shepard. jr., for his space
flight, as some members of
Congress are suggesting, he
will be the third to re-
ceive it for exploits other
than in combat.
BY a special act of Con-
gress. the medal was
awarded December Ia, 1927,
to Charles A. Lindbergh,
then a Reserve captain,
for the first New York
Paris nonstop flight, and
March 81. 1885. to Maj.
Gen. Adolphus w. Greely,
soldier. scientist and Arctic
explorer who died that
year. Gen. Greely's ex-
ploitS included reaching.
in 1881. the farthest north
point ever reached by man
at that time.
The medal normally is
awarded only for extreme
bravery in combat. at the
risk of life and above and
beyond the call Of duty.
No special law is needed to
make awards for such duty
in combat.
