& - MEDINA JOURNAL-REGISTER THURSDAY, APRIL 27, 1972 Apollo Astronauts Get A 'Well Done' Salute By AL ROSSITER JR. UPI Space Writer SPACE CENTER, Houston (UPI -Apollo 16's astronauts got a \well done\ from their flight director and raced on target toward a Pacific splash, down this afternoon, predicting their 245 pounds of lunar rocks will unlock more of the moon's secrets. _ Controllers reported that -_ John W. Young, Thomas K. Mattingly and Charles M. Duke were accelerating down the imaginary space corridor lead- ing to a safe, 24,612 mile per hour re-entry into Earth's atmosphere to wind up the: nation's fifth and next-to-last lunar expedition. The astronauts approached Earth knowing they had res- cued the $445 million mission from the brink of failure. As it was, the splashdown was a day early.

Wants Return Trip The parachute landing was scheduled for 2:44 p.m. EST, 1,519 miles south of Honolulu. UPI reporter Robert C. Miller aboard the recovery carrier Ticonderoga said weather was excellent for the conclusion of the 11-day mission. \We really commend you for a job well done, and we'll be looking forward to seeing you when you get back to Houston,\ flight director Gerald Griffin told the astronauts shortly after they began their last day in space at 8:09 a.m. \We certainly enjoyed. you, particularly on that (lunar) descent,\ replied Young. \That was somethmg else, wasn't it.\ \That was a pretty long day,\ Griffin said, referring to last Thursday when the mission almost was aborted because of an engine control system problem. \I'm sure it was for you, it sure was for us.\ \'Yeah you bet,\ Young _ replied. But the mission turned out so well that Young asked ground communicator Anthony En- gland to try to arrange a return trip so they could get more moon rocks. 7 \'There's another 400 or 500 pounds up there, Tony, we'd like to bring you,\ Duke said. Due Back Saturday The three spacemen and their record cargo of surprisingly unusual moon rocks, the first ever gathered from the high- lands, are due back at the Manned Spacecraft Center here late Saturday. The astronauts will undergo lengthy debriefings and the samples will go to the Lunar Receiving Laboratory, where scientists are waiting anxiously. If the samples Young and Duke gathered in three days of . exploration at their Descartes base turn out to be the so-called '\'genesis rocks,\ scientists might be able to write a key missing chapter in the story of lunar history-the story of its | tumultuous infancy 4 to 4.5 ... § billion years ago. The final expedition, Apollo 17, set for launch the night of Dec. 6, will go to a plain at the base of the Taurus Mountains on the eastern edge of the Sea of Serenity. Apollo 16 was the first space venture for Duke and Matting- ly, both 36, and they marveled at the blackness of space and the \dazzling beauty\ of the moon. Even Young, 41, a veteran of two Earth orbital flights and one previous moon orbit mission, was impressed. \I think we've seen as much in 10 days as most people see in \Everyone\ Welcome!

Mattingly - aborted the maneuver at the last moment because a secondary engine control system was acting abnormally. Mission controllers ordered Young and Duke to remain in orbit while the trouble was studied. At one point, Mission Control said the flight director was considering usmg the lander's descent engine to propel the command ship on an emergen- cy trip back to Earth. But engineers refused to bow, and after six harrowing hours they determined the trouble was miftor and Young and Duke landed Thursday night. Because of the 'delay, the third moonwalk was cut two hours, and one day in lunar orbit was eliminated to bring the pilots back today instead of Friday. Nevertheless, Young and Duke spent a record 71 hours on the moon, logged a record 20 hours, 15 minutes out of their spacecraft Orion, and drove their moon car a record 18.4 miles. They looked into the largest crater ever visited on the moon and they climbed* halfway up a peak rising 1,666 feet above the landing site. Johnson Returns To Ranch JOHNSON CITY, Tex. (UPI) -Former President Lyndon B. Johnson was back on his ranch today, where doctors say he will continue to recover from an April 7 heart attack \in the. comfort of home.\ Johnson, 63, slipped quietly out of the Brooke Army \ Medical Center at San Antonio, 80 miles away, Wednesday afternoon. Newsmen were told of his dismissal from the hospital only after he had left. ''President Johnson has conti- nued to recover from his recent heart attack in''\ 4 ' very satisfactory manner,\ Brooke spokesman Tom Mathews said. \In fact, his present condition is such that in the opinion of his physxmans he may now continue his convalescence in the comfort of his home. He was discharged from Brooke General Hospital in the early afternoon and returned to the LBJ Ranch.\ Johnson had been in his private penthouse suite in the hospital since April 11. Prior to that he was hospitalized in Charlottesville, Va., where he suffered the attack, his second, while on visit to his daughter and son-in-law. Johnson's first heart attack came in 1955. He was hospita- lized again in 1970 for a related heart ailment. Dr, J. Willis Hurst of Atlanta, Johnson's heart specialist, said the 36th president has recov- ered rapidly and needs. peace alnd quiet more than anything else.

The go-ahead came Wednes- day as Supreme Court Justice Thurgood Marshall refused a legal plea to block the moves. The Attica Defense Commit- tee, a group of lawyers in Buffalo N. Y., sought to halt transfer of the inmates to other units of the state's prison sys- tem on the ground it would interfere with defense prepara- _- tions on behalf of the men.

Not Nluskle Withdraws From Primaries : By STEVE GERSTEL WASHINGTON (UPI) -Sen. Edmund S. Muskie withdrew today from the remaining Democratic presidential prima- ries, but kept himself available as a candidate for the nomination atthe convention in July. At a news conference, the Maine senator freed the dele- gates he has won so far, saying: \I want them to know that they should feel free to reassess their commitment.\ Muskie, considered the front- ier before a series of disastrous primary contests, said: \I have made the declsmn to withdraw from active participation in the mlalmng presidential prima- mes, do so with regret, but I have no choice.

McGovern, now considered the favorites for the nomination. Muskie said that in the six primaries so far, the American people have indicated their determination to achieve four goals-an end to the Vietnam war; an anti-inflation policy which controls prices and produces jobs; a more equita- ble distribution of the \burdens and benefits of our society\; and what he termed \an open government which confides in them, responds <to their needs and opinions, and which is free from the corrupting influence of special interests.\ He acknowledged that his strategy to run in the first eight primaries and in as many more as he could was a political mistake. Major Effort Required \No other candidate made a similar commitment,\ he com- mented. \It required that I make a major effort and a major expenditure of resources in every primary with a maximum impact in none.\ ''Nowhere were the conse- quences of such a strategy more clearly demonstrated than in Wisconsin, Massa- chusetts, and Pennsylvania,\ he remarked, \diminishing results and dummshmg resources.' A high-ranking campaign advisor termed Muskie's gam- ble \a long shot\ at best but the only chance the 58-year old Maine senator has left to win the nomination. Although Muskie's political plans were unclear, it was believed he would concentrate on the nonprimary states to pick up delegates and appeal to the nation at large as the best candidate to oppose Nixon. But any chance Muskie has of winning the nomination now s:: depends on a deadlock between Humphrey and McGovern, the two Midwest senators, at the 222 Commercial Street Peth’r Asserts Farmer Ignored in Controversy \The one person most often ignored in the farm labor con- troversy is the man in the very middle of it-the farm worker,\ so states John Pettit, President of Orleans County Farm Bureau.

The state had originally plan- ned to begin transfer of the inmates to other facilities Tues- day but was delayed as the lawyers sought appeals of fed- - eral court decisions in both Buffalo and New York City. U. S. District Court Judge John T. Curtin Monday turned down the initial bid to enjoin the state from carrying out the transfers. The next day, the 2nd U. S.
