Exams Are Here Again--And Some Remember Those Lazy Spring Days
Apollo
WASHINGTON
(UPI)-America's Apollo 8
astronauts gave the nation a
fascinating report Thursday on
their historic flight around the
moon and urged Richard M.
Nixon to keep the United
States in space for the "value it
has on the spirit of this
country."
Col. Frank Borman, Capt.
James A. Lovell Jr. and Lt.
CoL William Anders received
gold medals and praise from
President Johnson and a
standing ovation from a joint
meeting of Congress on the
first day of a six -day tour as
the world's newest space
lieroes.
NASA Announces Astronauts
For Attempted Lunar L
WASHINGTON (UPI) -The
space agency said
Thursday that the first U.S.
astronauts to try to land on the
moon will be Neil A.
Armstrong, Michael Collins and
Edwin "Buz" Aldrin.
Armstrong, a former XI 5
rocket plane pilot, will
command the landing flight,
called Apollo 11.
It is expected in July and
there is a launch "window" for
shooting for the moon between
July 11 and 22.
Armstrong and Aldrin will
be the two astronauts who
Sirhan's Lawyer Claims News
Denies His Client Fair Trial
LOS ANGELES (UPI) The
trial of Sirhan B. Sirhan for the
murder of Sen. Robert F.
Kennedy was snarled Thursday
over publicity given to the
defendant and to his chief
counsel's role in another case.
After an eight-minute open
court session, attorneys
adjourned to chambers to
discuss in private a defense
motion on news coverage the
defense felt could deny Sirhan
a fair trial. It was not disclosed
whether the motion sought a
mistrial because of adverse
publicity, a 30-day
continuance or a change of
venue.
For the first time since the
trial began Tuesday, no
members of Sirhan's family
were present in court
Thursday.
The 24-year-old Jordanian

Before Congress and a
nationally broadcast news
conference, Borman, who
revealed the Apollo 8 space
flight would be his last,
appealed for an unflagging
effort to press forward in
man's conquest of space.
"To pause, to falter, turn
back on the quest for
knowledge is to perish," the
Apollo 8 commander told
Congress. "I would be a very
shallow man if I did not admit
that while I am deeply
committed to the space
program and to unlocking the
secrets of the universe, I am
even more deeply committed
to the future of this country."

surface, while Collins remains

spaceship similar to the one
used last month by Apollo 8.

Kennedy in May of 1961, will
be two members of the Apollo
8 crew that orbited the moon
Christmas week and one rookie
space flier.
Apollo 8 veteran James
Lovell, who has spent more
time in space than any other
immigrant was serious and
unsmiling in contrast to
Wednesday when he waved and
flashed a big grin several times
at his family.
The defense subpoenaed 15
radio and television newsmen,
who were told to bring to
chambers transcripts of what
their stations broadcast last
Monday and Tuesday on the
Sirhan case and on chief
defense attorney Grant
Cooper's difficulties in the
' Friars card-cheating case.
A federal court hearing held
on those two days ended with
U.S. District Judge Francis C.
Whelan ordering Cooper to
answer a list of 45 questions
dealing with how he came into
illegal possession of a transcript
of comedian Phil Silvers' grand
jury testimony in the Friars
case.
FRIDAY and
NINE-PIECE
FROM
THE
Borman expressed hope
later that the Nixon
administration "will consider
not only the scientific and
technological benefits of the
U.S. space program, but the
"almost nebulous value it has
on the spirit of this country"
with all its problems.
Just before Borman's
announcement that he would
"step aside" for further
spaceflight assignments, he was
promoted to second in charge
of all the nation's astronauts.
He will serve as deputy director
of flight crew operations under
astronaut chief Donald K.
"Deke" Slayton.
Reporting -publicly on their

crew. William Anders, systems
engineer of Apollo 8, and
rookie Free Haise are the other
two members of the backup
team.
Apollo 11 will be the fifth
manned Anollo flieht and the
third fiut to thG moon
In April or May, Apollo 10
will carry astronauts Thomas
Stafford, John Young and
Eugene Cernan to the moon.
Stafford and Cernan will fry
within 10 miles of the lunar
surface in the Apollo moon
landing craft, but will not
actually touchdown.
Questioning of subpoenaed
newsmen in the chambers of
Superior Court Judge Herbert
F. Walker, who is presiding at
the Sirhan trial, centered on
whether news stories about
Cooper's Friars Club problems
were intertwined with those
about the opening of the
Sirhan trial Tuesday.
The open court hearing
began at 10:04 a.m. (PST)
after 40 minutes of private
discussions in chambers
between prosecution and
defense attorneys.
The session was adjourned
eight minutes later and was
devoted to a discussion of the
availability of a 1,010-page
transcript in another case, the
People vs. Castro and others,
which the defense plans to cite
on Monday in support of its
, motion challenging the entire
jury selection system.

27, the astronauts told
newsmen and the nation that:
Prime proposed sites for a
landing on the moon are
"sufficient and adequate" by
their personal observation from
an altitude of 69 miles.
Lighting of such sites is "much

The moon lander, a
bugshaped spacecraft which
was not along during the
Apollo 8 mission, is scheduled
to receive its first test with
men aboard Feb. 28 in earth
orbit. The crew for this mission
is James McDivitt, David Scott
and Russell Schweickart.
Plans for the lunar landing
mission call for Armstrong and
Aldrin to spend some 24 hours
on the moon's surface and
bring back to earth about 50
pounds of lunar rock.
Armstrong, a blond, boyish
native of Watakoneta, Ohio,
commanded the flight of
Gemini 8 the only U.S.
manned space mission cut
short by an emergency.
He and Scott flew Gemini 8
to a rendezvous with an Agena
target rocket but a control
rocket on their craft started
firing out of control and they
made a safe emergency
splashdown in the Pacific
Ocean. Armstrong, 38, is a
naval aviator and was backup
commander for the Gemini 5
and Gemini 11 mission.
Collins, also 38, was the
copilot of Gemini 10 and made
a spacewalk during that
mission.
Collins was born in Rome,
Italy, where his father was a
military attache.
Aldrin became the world's
first working space walker
during Gemini 2, the last of the
Gemini series. A native of
Montclair, N.J. he will be 39
on Jan. 20.

NEW YORK (UPI) -Editorial

the news wire service Thursday,

editorial employes,

and others, struck at 8 a.m.

other contract improvements

psychological problems, such
as feelings of depression,
isolation and loneliness during
their flight.
A reported offer by the
Russians to attempt to rescue
them if they got into trouble
on their flight was appreciated,
But, said Borman, the
nrohlems of a snaee rescue are
"insurmountable at this time"
in both countries.
The splashdown impact
was so severe that the
spacecraft took in about a
half-gallon of water through its
vent tubes, and Borman
thought for a moment the craft
was sinking.

State Service Inflation
Mar Cause
my
RALEIGH (UPI)-It is a
good bet Gov. Bob Scott will
have to ask the Legislature to
increase taxes.
There are two reasons:
inflation and the demand for
more and better state sen ices.
Inflation has increased costs
to the State just as it has to the
housewife. The Bureau of
Labor Statistics estimated a 4.5
per cent increase in the cost of
living over the past year.
As for improved State
services, in three areas of state
responsibility alone,
commissions have estimated
increased needs for the next
two years of more than $575
million over current spending.
These areas are public schools
$300 million, higher education
at least $45 million and
highways $230 million.
During the campaign, Scott
said he thought he could
finance his programs with the
state surplus and through
economics. In an interview
soon after the election,
however, he said he would have
the courage to ask for new
taxes if necessary
This probably
will have to do.
is what he
The "surplus" often
referred to is more accurately
termed a credit balance. It is
made up of tax collections
above estimates, and money
which has appropriated two
years ago but not spent.
The credit balance available
to the last Legislature in 1967
turned out to be $172 million
on Jury 1, 1967. There has been
no official estimate of what the
credit balance will be this
coming , July., L . An educated
guess, however, puts it in the
neighborhood of $100 million.
The over collection of taxes
was $20 million last fiscal year
and will probably be nearer
$30 this year. Add to this
about $50 million in reversions
from unspent money and it
comes to about $100.
The biggest reason for the
larger credit balance two years
ago was the unprecedented and
unexpected spiral in the
economy in 1966.
It is anybody's guess as to
how much Scott can save with
economies. Certainly it will not
be enough to finance programs

Tax B
crying for hundreds of
millions.
So what does Scott do?
It appears he will have to
recommend a tax package to
the 1969 Legislature which
opens here next Wednesday.
The Highway Study
Commission recommended
laying on an additional three
cents tax per gallon of gasoline,
and increasing the cost of
automobile license plates by an
average of $15. This would
more than double the precent
average cost of $lLt
If Scott means to approach
the record his father made in
paving highways, he will almost
certainly have to ask for at
least part of these
recommended increases.
The Public Schools Study
Commission recommended
that the Legislature set a
minimum of school support
from loval governments.

Coupled with this, the Tax
Study Commission
recommended the Legislature
authorize local option sales
taxes.
Either of these proposals
would have hard going in the
Legislature.
There will be some support
in the Legislature for a general
increase in the sales tax.
Supporters will argue that if
local option sales tax is
allowed, it will probably
forever cut off the state from
any increased sales taxes.
On the other hand, many
Legislators will be afraid to
vote for a tax increase, but
might do it on a local option
basis.
A cigarette tax is not likely.
Somewhere, however, Scott
is going to have to come up
with the money to meet the
ever increasing demands.
