SPACE CENTER, Houston -Lunar
explorers Alan B. Shepard and Edgar D.
Mitchell explored a moon valley covered
with brown talcum-like dust and truck-sized
boulders for a record 43A hours Friday.
But a slight oxygen leak in Mitchell's
spacesuit all but ruled out hopes that
their second moonwalk on Saturday
could last even longer.

SPACE CENTER, Houston -Alan
Bartlett Shepard Jr., America's first man
in space who had to wait a decade for a
second flight, collected the payoff on
years of sacrifice and frustration Friday
when he landed on the moon.
"It's been a long way, but we're here,"
he said almost matter-of-factly when he
stepped from the Apollo 14 lunar lander
on to the moon's grainy surface.
He's known as a cool guy, but his
low-key comment belied just how much
the landing meant to him-how hard he
had worked for it and what he had given
up. .
Self-discipline, drive, hard t work,
perseverance. They won him the honor of
being the first American to soar into
space May 5, 1961, when he made a
15-minute suborbital hop from what was
then Cape Canaveral.
The same characteristics finally got
him a second flight and the realization of
a long-held dream to go on to the moon.
A lesser man would have given up.
Now 47 and the oldest American
astronaut,; Shepard stayed in the space
program even when an inner ear disorder

He admitted to some disappointment
in those long, dry years behind a desk,

someone else. But he also said "If I didn't

Shepard finally underwent a; secret
operation in 1968 to overcome -the
balance problem. Back on flying status,
he pushed himself even harder to be the
best trained, best informed, best
conditioned astronaut. ...
When he finally won command of
Apollo 14, he redoubled his efforts.
Conscious of his age, he worked out daily
on a strenuous exercise regimen to keep
himself physically ready.
He sold off a lucrative banking
business to give him more time to train
for the mission.
"I think if a person wants something
badly enough, he's just got to hang in
there and keep at it," Shepard explained.
Al Shepard hung in there.

re-entered the gold and silver Antares
landing craft that showed up so clearly on
TV.
Then ground controllers discovered
the leak in Mitchell's moonsuit.
"It might not be dangerous, but it's
higher than we expected to see." said
flight director M.P. "Pete" Frank. "I
think it's quite likely it will have an effect
on the second scheduled moonwalk."
If the leak remains constant, Frank
said Saturday's moonwalk likely would
be held to 4 hours and 1 5 minutes rather
than the maximum 5 hours mission
planners had hoped for.
Frank said, however, that the leak
probably would not spoil plans for
Mitchell and Shepard to climb 400-foot
high Cone Crater and study the big
boulders on its rim.
At times the two moonwalkers seemed
almost giddy in the near-weightlessness of
moon's gravity.
'I think they put champagne instead
of iodine in the LEM (Lunar Landing
Module) water this time," Mitchell
explained shortly 'before bounding across
the lunar surface with kangaroo strides.

which several firms were hit by firebombs

Authorities reported that firemen
answered a call about 2:30 a.m. Friday at
a grocery in a black neighborhood, and
according to police routine a patrol car
went to the scene.
The firemen were shot at by snipers.

SAIGON-U.S. helicopter crews flew
through fog and drizzle Friday on supply
missions for a big allied offensive in the
Khe Sanh area. Front reports said some
crossed into Laos in support of a
long-awaited South Vietnamese strike
against Communist bases in Laos.
"No U.S. personnel beyond this
point," was the flat signpost command on
Highway 9 at the Laotian frontier 10
miles west of the reactivated Khe Sahh
base. A 9,000-man U.S. task force was
mobilized on the South Vietnamese side
11
No one was injured, and the snipers were
not arrested.
The troubles apparently stemmed
from a controversy by black students at
two area high schools who began protests
last week about treatment of blacks in
the schools.
$ The students issued a series of
demands, including a holiday on the
birthday of the late Dr. Martin Luther
King and black studies programs.

airpower, including helicopters, may be

allied ground troops and protect
American lives.
The American task force at Khe Sanh
was operating with a 20,000-man force of
South Vietnamese troops whose
commanders were not covered by the
U.S. border strictures. Saigon
headquarters said late Friday the South
Vietnamese force, despite Communist
reports, had not moved across the jungle
frontier in a possible strike against the Ho
Chi Minh Trail. -
Official announcement of such a
U.S.-supported foray has been expected
since Thursday when headquarters lifted
a six-day news embargo on the Khe Sanh
operation. The purpose would be to stem
the flow of North Vietnamese war
material over the trail, Hanoi's lifeline to
Communist forces in South Vietnam and
Cambodia.

The way to see Europe without feeling
Germany, Holland, Italy, Luxembourg, Norway,
the
biggest political head.iche of the Nixon
administration, fell in January for the
first time in seven months. Labor
Secretary James D. Hodgson embraced
the news Friday as a hopeful sign that the
jobless problem had finally peaked.
Revising its eight-year reference period
for computing unemployment figures on
the basis of seasonal factors, the Labor
Department reported that the jobless rate
in December was 6.2 per cent -rather
than the 6 per cent previously
reported-and that the rate dropped last
month to 6 per cent. -
But officials said that even if the old
system were still in effect, with 6 per cent
unemployment in December, the January
rate would have fallen to 5.1 per cent.
Either way, the government said, it was
the first decline since last June.
With seasonal adjustments, now
including 1970 in taking into account the
weather and other such normal factors
for any given month, Hodgson reported a
brighter picture last month:
unemployment dropped by 110,000
persons, employment rose by 400,000,
gains in the average work week and
weekly earnings, and declines in
joblessness among adult men and in
claims for unemployment compensation.
Hodgson told reporters "signs are
encouraging that we may have crested" in
the jobless rate, although "we're never
quite certain."
The latest report, he said, reflects a
"change in trends, a change in direction"
that could signal the start of a steady
decline in unemployment to between 4.7
per cent and 5.2 per cent in the next year
to 1 8 months.
