WASHINGTON (AP) -— The leaders of the world’s two mucle- ar superpowers pledged in a landmark agreement today to regu.ate their relations in a way to reduce the risk of nuclear war, President Nixon and Soviet Communist party Secretary Leonid 1. Brezhnev reached the accord in the fifth day of their summit talks and prepared to sign it at the White House he- 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 retations 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 ihey were “conscious that nuclear war would h a v e devastating con- sequences for mankind” and said they wanted “fo bring about conditions in which the danger of an outbreak of nucle- ar war anywhere in the world would be reduced and ultimate- dy eliminated.” ‘They pledged their countries fo “acl in such a way as to pre vent the development of silua- tions capable of causing a dan- gerous exacerbation of their re- lations, es to aveid miliary con- frontations, and as to exclude the outbreak of nuclear war be tween them and between either of the parties and other coun- fries.” Nixon and Brezhnev also agreed that their countries “will refrain from the threat or the use of force against the other pariy against the allics of the olher party and against other countries, in circumstances which may endanger interna- tional 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 prevenied tbe Soviet inva- sion of Czechoslovakia, Kessinger noted, however, that U.S. air strikes against Commu nist forces in Camboia were under way at the time the agreement was being negotiate and that the bonth-:ng “was not raised as applying to that par- ticular situation.” When a newsman as k ed whether the agreement would forestall any Soviet action against China, Kissinger ° re- sponded that. the accord was “not conceived as protection for any country” but added it would “have the practical consequence of applying to the situation you deseribed.” “PIL see you tomorrow at the signing,’ Nixon reminded Brezhnev just before midnight Thursday as he left the Soviet Embassy after a banquet of caviar, borsch, Russian beef, and fish, two kinds of vodka and Soviet champagne.

: SAN FRANCISCO, June 18 (P— Soviet Foreign Minister V. M. Mol- otov held the spotlight today as world diplomats waited hopefully for new signs that the cold war tension is finally ending. The first indication of Russia’s next move is expected Monday night when the Big Four foreign ministers meet to map plans for the meeting of their chiefs of gov- ernment in Geneva July 18. Molotov, although unusually gen- ial on his 3,000-mile trip across the country, has given no hint that he has anything new to offer, but there still was an air of opti- mism here as a result of recent Soviet moves on the Austrian trea- ty and on the Yugoslav peace mis- sion. Molotov was the first of the Big Four foreign ministers to arrive for the U. N.’s 10th anniversary session June 20-26. Apparently in a jovial mood, the Soviet diplomat arrived by train at 1:08 (PDT) 2:08 p. m. (CST) and transferred to a limousine for his headquar- ters at Suburban Hillsborough. He was accompanied by a staff of more than fifty aides and ad- He had nothing to beyond a brief greeting, which his inter- preter translated from the Rus- sian. He said: “Thank you for this cordial wel- come to San Francisco. Allow me to convey through you greetings to the people of San Francisco where the United Nations was founded.” Secretary of State Dulles, British Foreign Secretary Harold MacMil- lan and French Foreign Minister Antoine Pinay will arrive by air tomorrow following their two-day strategy meetings in New York. _ President Eisenhower will ar- rive tomorrow night to deliver the opening address to the 60 U. N. delegations Monday afternoon. Re- ports r@aching here indicated that the President might make an im- portant policy speech rather than a simple speech of welcome. He told U. N. Secretary General Dag Hammarskjold in a special message that he considered the speech a “responsibility.” Diplo- matic quarters said that the Pres- ident originally had been reluctant to come to the U. N. session be- cause he had understood that he was expected to do nothing more than greet the delegates. Hammarskjold, meanwhile, was en route to San Francisco by air coach. He was expected here to night. The Western attitude toward the forthcoming Big Four “summit” talks in Switzerland was indicated in New York by the French for- eign minister, who said the West- ern nations are going to Geneva with open minds, hopeful of find- ing proof to support Russia’s re cent good will measures. He added, however, that the West wanted to see more before they were convinced. “We would be naive,” he said, “to believe that the signs are the proofs.” </s>

WASHINGTON (AP) — A Republican member of the Senate Watergate committee says the Nixon administration has “‘stepped on”’ anyone willing to search for the truth about Watergate. Sen. Lowell O. Weicker Jr., who made the claim Thursday, also said that fired White House Counsel John W. Dean III should be listened to when he appears before the panel. Dean, who has said he discussed Watergate and a possible coverup with President Nixon, will be the lead-off witness when the hearings resume next week. “I think there is a great deal of 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 Public Television show, “Evening Edition.”’ He was interviewed by Martin Agronsky. “Is his testimony credible? I think it is. ‘Nobody's attributing 100-per-cent credibility to him or any other witness, but he’s got the guts to stand out there and that’s no small thing when you were in his position and had all the pressures that obviously must have existed on this young man at the time to decide that you're going to step forward and tell the story to the American people.” Weicker was the sole opponent of the committee’s decision to postpone Dean's appearance for one week last Tuesday because of the summit conferences this week between Nixon and Soviet Communist Party leader Leonid I. Brezhnev. “It should be clear from various 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 stepped 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 despair of doing anything about it,’ committee Vice Chairman Howard H. Baker, R-Tenn., said Thursday. “It means that the committee probably will end its closed-door sessions with witnesses, which until now have been held routinely in advance of public appearances. News stories Thursday featured accounts of closed-door testimony by Dean and Watergate conspirator E. Howard Hunt. Also Thursday, another congressional investigation into Watergate-related matters was announced, this one by the House Internal Security Committee. Chairman Richard Ichord, D-Mo., said he wants to find out why the White House formed the “plumbers” group that burglarized the office of Daniel Elisberg’s psychiatrist in 1971. President Nixon has said he ordered the “plumbers” to plug such news leaks as the secret Pentagon Papers, which Ellsberg gave to newspapers. In New York, former Democratic National Chairman Lawrence F.. O’Brien said the scan- dal has hurt both parties. He called for limits on how much candidates may spend in their campaigns and urged use of a new provision allowing taxpayers to designate a dollar of their federal income taxes to finance political campaigns. He spoke as an assistant to special Watergate Prosecutor Archibald Cox said a special grand jury may be convened to investigate whether President Nixon's fund raisers used extortion to get campaign contributions. Prosecutors are investigating, among other things, reports that the President’s men vigor- ously solicited money from businessmen and other individuals involved in tax problems, securities investigations, contract disputes and other sensitive governmental dealings. In a related development, Mitchell’s wife, Martha, who has complained of being besieged by newsmen, left her Fifth Avenue apartment in New York in a station wagon loaded with suitcases. Mrs. Mitchell complained Tuesday night about reporters clustered about her apartment building entrance. It was not immediately known where she was headed.

—————E a OU —— naa —— Studies Bill. London, May 10 (#)—A hotly- disputed bill to nationalize most of Britain’s iron and steel indus- try went to the House of Lords today. It was passed last night by the House of Commons. The Lords planned to bring the measure—main item in the labor government’s Socialist pro- gram—to early consideration. It is expected generally the upper chamber will riddle it with amendments, and return it to Commons which then will re- store it virtually to present form, to become law. Socialists call the bill an “at- tack on the heart of capitalism,” because control of iron and steel means control essentially of British manufacturing, from bi- cycles to battleships. The bill, proposed by the Labor | government, went to the House |of Lords after a Conservative mo- tion in Commons to reject it was | defeated 330-203. | It authorizes the government 'to buy the stock of 107 com- ‘panies, but actual direction of the companies would stay in the | hands of the men who run them /as private enterprises. The com- | panies would work under a gov- ernment holding corporation, re- taining their present firm names. They would be free to compete 'with one another, but not to the point of clashing with the hold- ing corporation’s overall general plan. | Under the measure the gov- | ernment would pay £300,000,000 | ($1, 200,000,000) for the stock of ‘the 107 companies. The firms, | which employ 300,000 of Britain’s | 495,000 iron and steel workers, ‘are capitalized at £195,000,000 | ($780,000 000). | The bill calls for government control of the affected plants to ‘start May 1, 1950—just before next summer’s scheduled na- ‘tional elections. Some _ well- | Placed sources, however, say the | takeover may be deferred until the elections have shown wheth- jer the people really are firmly _ behind the Labor Party’s plans | for government control of indus- try. | The Labor government, whose platform pledges public owner- ship ‘of key industries, has de- | ' layed moving in on iron and steel for four years.

ABOARD USS = TICONDE- ROGA (AP) — Skylab’s astro- nauts came home safely from man’s longest space journey to- day and despite some early diz- ziness and lightheadedness, they were pronounced in ex- cellent physical conditon, Charles Conrad Jr., Dr. Jo- seh 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 the Pacific after an 11-million mile journey: “‘We’re all in good shape, Everything’s OK.” Dr, Royce Hawkins, the as tronauts’ chief physician, com firmed this after consulting with doctors on the carrier, He told newsmen at the Houston Space Center: “They look quite ¢..d, 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- tion, with normal blood pres sure and pulse and only slight lightheadedness, He said both Kerwin anc Weitz suffered from dizziness and lightheadedness and that Weitz’ blood pressure at firs’ was on the low side, ‘ -splashdown blew up an inflatable suit ove: the lower part of his body tc help increase blood circulation, Hawkins said, The astronauts splashed down right on target, just 6'/ miles from the Ticonderoga.

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 9g after 28 days and 11 million miles in orbit. Just 39 minutes after touchdown, Charles Conrad Jr., Dr. Joseph P. Kerwin and Paul J. Weitz were hoisted onto the deck of this recovery carrier, still inside their Apollo ferry ship. ‘We're all in good shape. Everything’s OK,”’ commander Conrad radioed as the spacecraft descended through the clouds and landed within view of USS Ticonderoga, just 642 miles away. That indicated the astronauts had suffered no adverse 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 toward a mobile medical laboratory, 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 function efficiently in future longduration flights. The first of the two 56-day Skylab missions is scheduled for launch Vealer OF The astronauts almost were held over in orbit today to try to repair a refrigeration problem in their space station. But Mission Control decided there was nothing the astronauts could do and told them to come home. Ten minutes behind schedule, Conrad, Kerwin and Weitz undocked their Apollo ferry ship and executed a series of maneuvers that sent them slamming into the atmosphere above Thailand for the fiery descent. The Apollo craft hit the calm blue waters at 9:50 a.m. EDT about 830 miles southwest of San ae Calif. It was just after dawn off the West st. The 42,000-ton Ticonderoga quickly steamed alongside the three-ton Apollo and tossed a line to frogmen in the water. A crane then lifted the craft and the astronauts to an elevator for a ride to the hangar deck. Hundreds of white-clad sailors on deck and millions watching television around the world again had a ringside seat to a U.S. man-in- space landing as the Apollo craft floated down through low-hanging clouds and dangling under three huge orange and white parachutes. “‘Everyone’s in super shape,’ Conrad said as the spacecraft bobbed on the water awaiting pickup. Frogmen immediately leaped from helicopters to secure the spacecraft with flota- tion collars. The Ticonderoga reported the astronauts had landed 62 miles from the ship and that the ship was 6% miles from the target point, indicating a perfect touchdown. The Ticonderoga steamed to pick up the Apollo capsule with the astronauts still inside, in contrast to most earlier U.S. flights when the spacemen were lifted to the carrier by helicopter. Medical requirements dictated the pick up method today. Medical experts were not certain how the astronauts would react after returning to earth's gravity following record exposure to space weightlessness so they decided the astronauts should be subjected to as little activity as possible until they can be examined in mobile medical laboratories aboard the Ticonderoga. The landing completed an historic space mission that lasted 28 days and 50 minutes. During that time the spacemen circled the earth 395 times. Misson Control was kept in suspense for most of the final 76 minutes of the flight — a period when the Apollo ship was out of radio contact with ‘ground stations. The Ticonderoga’s radar picked up the streaking craft at a distance of 188 miles, 10 minutes before landing. While out of radio contact, at 9:11 a.m., the astronauts conducted the critical retrorocket burn that slowed their 17,100 mile-an-hour speed by 130 miles, allowing earth’s gravity to tug the spacecraft out of orbit and start the long glide through the atmosphere to the eastern Pacific. The’ refrigeration trouble caused considerable concern. A maneuver intended to correct it caused a brief gyroscope problem that caused the 10-minute delay in the astronauts’ departure from the orbiting labora- tory. ‘We're free,’ Conrad reported seconds after the control center flashed the go-ahead for undocking from the 118-footlong laboratory. They left behind a space station which they had salvaged with some daring, difficult and often ingenious repair tasks after it was damaged during launching May 14. After the undocking, the astronauts made a 45-minute flyaround inspection of the station, televising pictures of the odd-looking space vehicle to mission control for evaluation by experts. Then, in quick succession, they triggered the engine firings that gradually dropped them closer to earth from their original orbital altitude of 275 miles. 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, contin- uing the medical, earth resources, solar astronomy, space manufacturing and other ex- periments started by the first crew. Like vacationers closing a summer house, Conrad, Kerwin and Weitz on Thursday cleaned up the space station for Skylab 2. They slept five hours and 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. Packed aboard the Apollo are thousands of feet of film and tapes, plus other experiment equipment that experts will be analyzing for months in efforts to set guidelines for future long-duration space flights. Along the way, the crew set a record for a single manned space mission, breaking a mark of 23 days, 18 hours, 22 minutes set in 1971 by three Russian cosmonauts.

One will be connected after the micro- phone is put in, The speech by the oldest man ever to serve one the supreme bench, is the first public notice he has taken of a birthday. They have been events for a long time to those about him. For years a deluge of requests from newspapermen for inter- views and a series of plans by ad- mirers for public demonstrations have preceded each anniversary. The newspapermen got no fur- ther than his secretary and the admirers are always’ forced to bow to his pronounced distaste of publie eulogies. There is no trigidity and little austerity in his consistent aver- sion to publicity and display. Court members in getting to the bottom of cases before them often ask counsel penetrating and sharp questions. Many a lawyer retains an affectionate memory of Justice Holmes as he leaned for- ward with a friendly smile and helped the barrister out of legal morass with a suggestion, His friends say his logical mind can see no reason for a fanfaron- ade over birthdays. His conces- sion on his 90th anniversary is regarded as reluctant yielding to the desire of sincere friends to honor him. The radio program in his hon- or begins at 10:30 p. m. EST., Sunday night.

WASHINGTON, May 10 (UP) Some Republicans predicted to day that the row between Sens. Tom Connally, D. Tex., and Ar: thur V.

H., said the rucus “sure will” prolong consideration of the treaty when it reaches the Senate floor. Sen. Bourke B. Hickenlooper, R., Ta., said it certainly “won't shorten de- bate any.” The row reached its climax yesterday when Watkins stomped out of a hearing by the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, claiming that Connally, the com- mittee chairman, had “humiliated ‘and embarrased” him. Hearing Held The committee has been holding hearing on the pact, although not a committee member, Watkins has been permitted to euestion witnesses. Connally has been ex- tremely critical of Watkins’ line of interrogation When Connally complained yes- terday that Watkins’ quesvions were designed to express his own views on the pact and not 10 elicit. information from the wit- ness, the Utah Senator gathered up his papers and left the vom- mittee room. He assailed Connally tater for what he said were the Texan's “provocative actious.” He said he had plenty of ques- tions still to ask about the pact but would reserve them for the Senate floor where no “gag rule” prevails. Connally predicted that Wat- kins’ walkout would have little ef: fect on the Senate’s vote on the pact.

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.

W.SHINGTON (AP) — The leadens 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 Nixom and Soviet Communist party Secretary Leonid I. Brezhnev reached the accord in the fiifih day of their summit talks and preparéd to sign it at the White House be- fore heading for California where they will conclude their meetings Sunday. In addition to iis application to U.S.-Soviet relations, the agreement applies also to the relations of either party wile other countries. In this way, ak though technically bilateral, the agreement has multilateral ime plications, The agreement is of unlimit- ed duration and, unlike »@ treaty, does not require Senate ratification. The 600-word document calle for the countries to “imme diately enter into urgent com sultations’’ at any time inter national tensions reach a poing where the risk of nuclear wa? is involved. The agreement was reache§ as the two leaders looked aheag to a reunion summit in Mosco@ in 1974—the target date for for mally limiting the atomic arse nals of the two countries. The two leaders declared ig the agreement that they were “conscious that muclear wat would ave devastating cone sequencs for mankind’ and said they wanted ‘to bring about conditions in which the danger of an outbreak of nuclee ar war anywhere in the world would be reduced and ultimate. ly eliminatied,’’ They pledged their countries to ‘act in such a way as to pree vent the developmient of situe a‘ions capable of causing a danigerous exacerbation of their relations, as i 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 agalinst oth- er countries, in circumstances which may endanger inter- national peace and security.”

LUNDON, May 10.(A4’)-— A hot- ly-disputed bill to nationalize most of Britain's iron and steel industry went to the house of lords today. It was passed last night by the house of commons. | The lords planned to bring the measure——main item in the labor government's sociatist program--- to early consideration. It is ex- pected generally the upper cham- ber will riddle it with amend- ments, and return it to commons which then will restore it vir- tually to present form, to become law. Socialists call the bill an “‘at- tack on the heart of capitalism,” because control of iron and steel means control essentially of Brit- ish manufacturing, from bicycles to battleships.

By ROBERT C.

Tt was a flawless end ta a mission that slarled 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.

Recovery forces and controll- ers back at Houston's mission contro! waited anxiously for more than a half hour between the time the ship’s main braking rocket fired = and Conrad reported, “everything’s okay,’ while the ship was still in the air.

WASHINGTON (AP) — The leaders of the world’s two nuclear superpowers pledged in a landmark agreement today to regulate their relations in a way to reduce the risk of nuclear war. President Nixon and Soviet 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 on to California where they will conclude their meetings on Sunday. In addition to its application to U.S.- Soviet relations, the agreement applies also to the relations of either party with other countries. In this way, although technically bilateral, the agreement has multilateral implications. The two leaders declared in the agreement that they were ‘conscious that nuclear war would have devastating con- sequences for mankind’’ and said they wanted ‘‘to bring about conditions in which the danger of an outbreak of nuclear war anywhere in the world would be reduced and ultimately eliminated.”’ They pledged their countries to ‘‘act in such a way as to prevent the development of situations capable of causing a dangerous exacerbation of their relations, as to avoid military 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 circumstances which may endanger inter- national peace and security.” At a news conference prior to the formal signing, presidential assistant Henry A. Kissinger skirted questions on whether this clause would forbid U.S. bombing. of Cambodia or would have prevented the Soviet invasion of Czechoslovakia. Kissinger noted, however, that U.S. air strikes against Communist forces in Cambodia were under way at the time the agreement was being negotiated and that the bombing ‘‘was not raised as applying to that particular situation.”’ When a newsman asked whether the agreement would forestall any Soviet action against China, Kissinger responded that the accord was ‘‘not conceived as protection for any country’ but added it would ‘“‘have the practical consequence of applying to the situation you described.” U.S. allies in Europe have expressed reservations in the past about any agreements which would restrict their use of American-supplied nuclear weapons in the event of a massive, conventional Soviet attack. Kissinger said ‘‘Several NATO allies were closely consulted’’ during negotiations of the agreement and cited a clause which states that the accord does not impair “‘the obligations undertaken by either party towards its allies or other countries in trsaties, agreements andother appropriate documents.” If the agreement fails, Kissinger said, “existing obligations...will be maintained’’ by the United States. “Vl see you tomorrow at the signing,”’ Nixon reminded Brezhnev just before midnight last night as he left the Soviet Embassy after a banquet of caviar, borsch, Russian beef and fish, two kinds of vodka and Soviet champagne. Kissinger said of the new agreement today: ‘‘Agreements are not always maintained and there is nothing self-enforcing about this document.’’ But he added that ‘‘this document could be a landmark on the road toward ‘a structure of peace...a step toward a new era of cooperation...lifting the fears of nuclear war from mankind.” The agreement is of unlimited duration and, unlike a treaty, does not require Senate ratification. The 600-word document calls for the countries to “immediately enter into urgent consultations’ at any time inter- national 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 for- mally limiting the atomic arsenals of the two countries. The two leaders popped a surprise in their banquet toasts, disclosing that Brezhnev had extended and Nixon had accepted an invitation to return to the Soviet Union next year for a third summit in as many years.

ABOARD USS TICONDE- ROGA (AP) — Skylab’s astro- nauts came home from man’s longest space voyage today, splashing down in the Pacific Ocean after almost being held over in orbit to try to repair a faulty system: in their space station. Charles Conrad Jr., Dr. Jo- seph P. Kerwin and Paul J. Weitz ended their 28-day jour- mey when their Apollo ferry ship parachuted into the water. The main recovery ship, the aircraft carrier Ticonderoga, ‘was in the prime recovery area about 830 miles southwest of San Diego, Calif., ready to hoist the astronauts aboard for a series of vital medical tests to determine how well they with- stood their record exposure. to space weightlessness. Earlier, Mission Control con- sidered holding Conrad, Kerwin and Weitz in orbit longer to troubleshoot a refrigeration sroblem. But controllers decided there was nothing the astronauts could do and gave them the green light to start the home- ward voyage. They had separated their Apollo ferry ship from the 118- foot-long laboratory. After separation they made a 45-minute 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, The first firing dropped Apollo’s orbit slightly below that of the Skylab station, orbit- ing 275 miles. high and in posi- tion to accept the’ Skylab 2 crew late: next.month. : The second ignition dropped the astronauts into an elliptical orbit ranging from 104 miles to 29 miles high. Separation of the Apollo from the Skylab was clocked at 4:55 am. EDT, 10 minutes later The brief undocking delay re- than planned. sulted when the control center had trouble stabilizing gyro- scopes in the house-sized space lab, Shortly before that flight con- trollers had commanded the craft, with the Apollo ferry ship attached {o one end, to point 45 degrees down. The maneuver was necessary to warm a fro- zen radiator -by pointing it directly at the sun.
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 .

WASHINGTON (AP) =. Leaders of the world’s super- powers signed at the summit today an agreement pledging to diffuse the risks of nuclear war by avoiding military con- frontations between nations. “A truly historic ceremony,” said Soviet Communist Party Secretary Leonid |. Brezhnev after he and President Nixon signed the agreement in the White House East Room on the fifth day of their summit talks. The document applies not only to U.S.-Soviet relations, but to relations either has with any other country — large or small. In impromptu comments at the signing ceremony, Brezh- nev looked ahead to a reunion summit in 1974 in Moscow. He said he believed this and other future meetings “would consol- idate still further and deepen’ the advances made in the joint effort to free the world of the fear of nuclear war. Later in the day, Nixon anc Brezhnev were to fly to th Western White House in Sar Clemente, Calif., continuin, while en route their summi talks that until today had en- compassed more than 26 hours. The two leaders declared in the agreement that they were “conscious that nuclear war would have devastating conse- quences 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 eli- minated.” They pledged their countries to “act in such a way as to prevent the development of sit- uations capable of causing a dangerous exacerbation of their relations, as to avoid mili- tary confrontations, and as to exclude the outbreak of nu- clear 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 circum- stances which may endanger international peace and securi- ty,” At a news conference prior to the formal signing, presidential atssitant 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 US. air strikes against Communist forces in Cambo- dia were under way at the time the agreement was being nego- tiated and that the bombing “was not raised as applying to that particular situation.” When a newsman asked whether the agreement would forestall any Soviet action against China, Kissinger re- sponded that the accord was “not conceived as protection for any country” but added it would “have the practical con- sequence of applying to the sit- uation you described.” “T'll see you tomorrow at the signing,”’ Nixon reminded Brezhnev just before midnight Thursday as he left the Soviet Embassy after a banquet of caviar, borsch, Russian beef and fish, two kinds of vodka and Soviet champagne.

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.

Eliseo Flores, 22, a Korean war veteran and one of Marfa high school’s all-time athletic greats, died early Wednesday morning after an auto accident near Pai- sano peak, between Marfa and Alpine. Although known as a capable driver, the young man in some manner lost control of his car as he was driving alone toward AI- pine about 1:30 a.m. and was thrown out, receiving head and chest injuries that caused his death before he could be taken to an Alpine hospital. Mr. and Mrs. C. L. Arthur, re- turning to Marfa from an even- ing in Alpine, saw the Flores car go out of control and roll as they met it but were unable to give any cause for the acci- dent. Mr. Arthur secured an am- bulance from Alpine and helped remove Flores, who died in the ambulance enroute to a hospital. The young man is the only son of Mr. and Mrs. Gregorio Flores of Marfa. He graduated from high school in 1950 and _ since that time, besides doing army service, spent some time at sev- eral schools, Tyler junior college, New Mexico A & M., and Sul Ross | State college. He was employed part time by the Kelley Funeral home here. | An outstanding athlete, Flores was a back for the 1950 Marfa bi-district football champions, | and forward on the basketball | team that went to the state meet that year. As a pitcher he helped bring Marfa three district base- | ball championships, and he was also a member of the track team, with several records to his credit. : He was named to every all-dis- | trict and all-tournament team wherever he played, except the state basketball tournament. In high school Flores was named by students as one of the campus favorites—-the boy with the best personality, and was se- lected by the faculty as one of the 12 outstanding students in the school’s “Who's Who.” Funeral services will be held this afternoon at 4:00 o'clock from St. Mary’s Catholic church, with interment in Merced ceme- tery. </s>

ABOARD USS TICONDE- ROGA (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. Charles Conrad Jr., Dr. Joseph P. Kerwin and Paul J. Weitz ended their 28-day journey when their Apollo ferry ship parachuted into the water. The main recovery ship, the aircraft carrier Ticonderoga, was in the prime recovery area about 830 miles southwest of San Diego, Calif., ready to hoist the astronauts aboard for a series of vital medical tests to determine how well they withstood their record exposure to space weight- lessness. _ Earlier, Mission Control considered holding Conrad, Kerwin and Weitz in orbit longer to troubleshoot a refrigeration problem. But controilers decided there was nothing the astronauts could do and gave them the green light to start the homeward voyage. They had separated their Apollo ferry ship from the 118-foot-long laboratory. Hundreds of white-clad sailors on deck and millions watching television around the world again had a ringside seat to a U.S. man- -in-space landing as the Apollo craft floated down through low-hanging clouds and dangling under three huge orange and white parachutes. “Everyone’s in super shape,’’ Conrad said as the spacecraft bobbed on the water awaiting pickup. Frogmen immediately leaped from helicopters to secure the spacecraft with flotation collars. The Ticonderoga reported the astronauts had landed 6% miles from the ship and that the ship was 6'2 miles from the target point, in- dicating a perfect touch- down. The Ticonderoga steamed to pick up the Apollo capsule with the astronauts still inside, in contrast to most earlier U.S. flights when the spacemen were lifted to the carrier. by helicopter. Medical requirements dictated the pick up method today. Medical experts were not certain how the astronauts would react after returning to earth’s gravity following record exposure to space weightlessness so_ they decided the astronauts should be subjected to as little activity as possible until they can be examined in mobile medical labora- tories aboard the Ticonde- | roga. The landing completed an historic space mission that lasted 28 days and 50 minutes. During that time the spacemen circled the earth 395 times. Mission Control was kept in suspense for most of the final 76 minutes of the flight — a period when the Apollo ship was out of radio contact with ground stations. The Ticonderoga’s radar picked up the streaking craft at a distance of 188 miles, 10 minutes before landing. While out of radio contact, at 9:11 a.m., the astronauts conducted the critical retrorocket burn that slowed their 17,100 mile-an- hour speed by 130 miles, allowing earth's gravity to tug the spacecraft out of or- bit and start the long glide through the atmosphere to the eastern Pacific.

DETROIT, May 10 (UP) — Ford Motor Company and CIO officials meet today to attempt settlement of a six-day-old strike against two key Ford plants that will idle a total of 85,000 workers by tonight. Reopening of negotiations eame as Ford scheduled immediate shutdowns of eleven assembly ines, with the remaining eight to close by next Monday. Henry Ford I, vouthful head of the company, accepted a union offer to reopen peace talks which were cut short last Thurs. when 2,200 United Auto workers struck at Ford’s River Rouge and Lin- coln-Mercury plants. In his bid to reopen negotia- tions, Walter Reuther, president of the UAW, asked Ford to per- sonally lead the company negotia- ting them. Ford declined the _ invitation, but said “we will be happy to meet with you at 1 p.m. (CST).” Walkout Unnecessary 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 eoneern for the Ford workers, we would like to suggest that vou as- sume your personal obligations to participate in negotiations.”
PARIS (UPI)—Four rebel French generals supported by Foreign Legion paratroopers seized Algiers in a bloodless coup today and announced they had taken over Algeria and the Sahara Desert from President Charles de Gaulle’s government, Premier Michel Debre went on a nationwide radio and television hookup to appeal for ‘‘absolute obedience’ in France but already minor right-wing violence was reported in France itself, A bomb exploded in a telephone booth of the town hall of the fash- jonable Neuilly district of Paris just west of the Arch of Triumph. Police said it caused considerable damage but apparently no casual- ties. The bomb was of the type used by right-wing extremists in past terrorism against the De Gaulle government. Police noted that Neuilly Mayor Achille Perretti is a Gaullist deputy of the National Assembly. The insurgent generals broad- cast a seven-point order of the day proclaiming a state of siege and saying ‘‘all resistance, from what- ever quarter, will be broken.”’ The proclamation was a declaration of a virtual state of martial law. The insurgent army and air force generals in Algiers announced over Algiers radio—renamed “Radio France’’—that they had proclaimed a state of siege throughout the African territory. The generals ap- pealed to the army, navy, air force and police to join them. De Gaulle apparently was taken completely by surprise, although opposition among Frenchmen im Algiers to his poliey of permitting Algeria eventually to become in. dependent has been rising. Bul the government reacted swiftly. France canceled all military leaves. De Gaulle called a cabinet meeting to consider further action and conferred during the day with Debre and Adm. Georges Cabain. er, chief of staff of the Frenct navy. Debre named Gen. Jean Olie as new commender-in-chief in Algeria to replace Gen. Fernanc Gambiez who was arrested by the insurgents. Olie flew immediately to Algeria. The revolt was reported led by Gen. Raoul Salan, the general wh« led a 1958 revolt which brough down the Fourth Republic anc brought De Gaulle to power.

THE HAGUE (AP) — The In- ternational Court of Justice called on France today to re- frain from nuclear testing in the South Pacific pending a fi- nal decision on the legality of the test series, By an 8-6 vote, the court ruled that Australia and France should not take any action in the meantime “which might ex- tend the dispute or prejudice the final decision of the court.” The court’s ruling followed applications last month by Australia and New Zealand seeking an injunction against | the French test series, - The court said it would schedule further hearings in September and December. It did not say if France, which boycotted last month’s hear- ings, would be represented at the forthcoming sessions. In their pleadings before the court, representatives of ‘both the Australian and New Zea- land governments said further nuclear tests in the South Pa- cific would present unaccep- table health and environmental ‘dangers to the population of areas concerned. The Australian attorney gen- eral, Lionel Murphy, said the forthcoming series might be of “a size and yield hitherto un- equalled.” The people of the southern hemisphere ‘“‘will pay with their lives for the French decision to go ahead with their spring test program,” he added.

In practice, al- most any 65-year-old veteran is disabled to that extent or more. The committee voted to write the regulations into law, at the same time wiping out the 10 per ‘cent disability requirement.

The verdict of second degree murder carries a penalty of 10 years to life in prison. Walker only shook his head when he heard the verdict late Monday. That was just an hour short of three days from the time the jury took the case against the 32-year- old metal worker. District Judge George Bradfield granted the defense 30 days in which to file for a new trial. He delayed sentencing until then. The judge refused to release Wal- ker on his old $25,000 bail but said he would hear a motion for a new bond. After the verdict Jury Foreman William J. Morley read a statement that the jury said this prayer be- fore deliberations: “Almighty God, help us in this | hour of deliberation, Give us wisdom that we may be guided to a just and fair verdict to all con- cerned. ' “Let thy spirit descend upon us iso that our conscience will become thy will. “With malice towards none anc forethought of the duty we are about to perform, let us, thy mor- tals, have divine guidance an thi: deliberation. Amen,” Morley said the Lord’s prayer was said by the 11 men and one wom. an after the verdict was reached. In Santa Monica, Cal, Walker’: wife said she refuses “to give uf hope for Joe until after the case has been appealed.”
