Langley Air Force Base. Va. in
a National Aeronautics and
Space Administration plane.
1t. Comdr. Carpenter plans
to return June Z to Boulder, a
city of $4,000 about 80 miles
northwest of Denver, to address
the high school graduatlnN
class at its commencement ex-
ercises. He said he probably
will participate in ceremonies
for the University of Colorado
graduation the next day.
Hopes to Return
The astronaut indicated he
hopes to return to Boulder for
a more leisurely visit when his
family moves from Langley to
Houston, Tex. which will be-
come headquarters for future
moon flights.
Comdr. Carpenter, who had
little time to himself during the
welcome home ceremonies,
escaped from wellwishers long
enough late yesterday for a
2l2 hour trip to Gregory
Canyon and Flagstaff, south
west Of Boulder. He used to
play there as a boy,
Accompanying him were his
two sons. Mark Scott, II, and
Robyn Jay, IL, and his 60-year-
old father, DR.. Marion Scott
Carpenter, who lives at Palmer
Lake, Colo.
Before taking the hike, the
astronaut was guest at lunch
con attended by State and city
officials. He also held a'cloSed-
door technical discussion with
IT scientists from the University
of Colorado, the National Cen
ter for Atmospheric Research
and Boulder laboratories Of the
National Bureau of Standards.
Tells of Findings
The session was held so he
could tell them some Of the
findings made in the space
program.
Those participating included
Prof. B. H. Spurlock of the
university's College of Engi-
neering. He was the teacher of
a heat transference course that
Comdr. Carpenter failed to
pass l3 years ago.
Lack of credits on the sub !
ject prevented Comdr. Carpen- ,
ter from receiving a college de-
gree in 1949, but the university ,
presented him Yesterday with
a bachelor of science degree in
aeronautical engineering. Quig

also gave him the university's |,

who complained she was robbed
by a man who got into her car
when she stopped for a traffic

purse. He was charged with
first-degree robbery and car
rying a concealed weapon and
was to appear for preliminary
hearing on May 25. three days
after the crash. The charge
was dismissed after he died.
For about three years, start

Shifting of the inquiry to the
FBI was signaled last night
when George Van Epps of New

VIM LOSE OR DRAW
The Private War of Roger Moris
BY FRANCIS sTANN

Herald heard of the incident and Sports
writer Dick Meyer was contacted at the
local bureau.
II talked to the boys mother, who was
angry" Meyer said. 1.-THE paper wanted a
story, so I wrote it. The next day Maris
said, Where did you get that stuff?' I told
him and said, 'Rog, I'll be happy to write
your account Of the incident I honestly
believe that Maris wasn't even aware that
the boy was so close and that he fell down
Forget it, Maris said, turning away.
You guys would only mess up my version,
anyway"
This is the fellow who was making
$4,000 to $4,000 last season. Now his
salary is $4,000. According to Frank Scott,
his agent, Rog figures to make around
100000 this year from his testimonials and
his merchandising items.
WHATEVER IS EATING Maris has a
gluttonous appetite. During his 61-home
run campaign he was subjected to I'M
precedented interviewing. "Rog was the
most mentally exhausted player I've ever
handled" Agent Scott testifies.
It is possible that it bugs Rog to have
his .269 average so frequently mentioned.
He also reads and hears the vows Of Amer
lean League pitchers to cut him down to
size this season. Mostly, however, he isn't
temperamentally geared for the spotlight.
Whereas Babe Ruth basked in it, MariS
ShunS it.
In all fairness to the fellow he was
courteous and patient as the endless inter-
views with redundant, often silly questions
went on last season. Although Rog never
had played on a world championship team
until last october, he brushed off the TV
interviewers in the Yankee clubhouse in
Cincinnati, declined to attend the victory
celebration in New York, and rushed to
catch plane for a return to his home in
Raytown, Mo.
II want to get away from everybody"
Rog said, Except my wife and kids" He
has four children.
"He means it," Scott testifies "He
could have picked up an easy $4,000 last
winter, but he'd have had to travel. He
turned it down."
It appears obvious that Maris mis-
trusts many newspapermen, regarding them
as nuisances who distort the facts. Never
good spring hitter, Rog isn't one now, and
his slow start may be bothering him, too.
Sometimes, If the topic isn't Roger Maris,
he will chat pleasantly in the locker room,
but the talk must be small and irrelevant.

men haven't been unfair. But can't look
at 80 writers and pick out Is good ones and

Some of the writing tribe are sympa-
thetic with Maris. But there are others
who say that he'd better talk with his
bat again.
