Astronaut Safe As $2.5 Million Moonship Crashes HOUSTON (UPI) Astronaut Neil Armstrong, who piloted the Gemini 8 spacecraft to an emergency landing in 19(i(i, yesterday parachuted safely from a jet-powered moon-landing trainer seconds before it crashed and burned. The accident occurred at Ellington Air Force Base, near the Houston Space Center.

Paul Haney, spokesman for the center, said Armstrong was not hurt. "Minutes later, he was back in the hangar, apparently OK, walking around, discussing the incident," Haney said. It was not known what caused the $2.5 million vehicle to crash. Haney said the spider-shaped craft was at an altitude of 200 feet when Armstrong, a civilian, ejected. He landed at the edge of the Air Force base.

Haney said Armstrong had guided the lunar trainer to 500 feet and was in the air 5 minutes before he hailed out. Armstrong had flown the craft more than the other astronauts, the spokesman said. The lunar vehicle can climb to about 1,000 feet.

In upholding the conviction of the Louisville, native, the court said it was "entirely satisfied that Clay has been fairly accorded due process of law, and without discrimination." Clay was convicted of draft evasion by a federal court jury in Houston last June 20 after he refused to be inducted, lie said his religion as a lilatk Muslim made him unable to bear arms. He was scheduled for induction on April 211, 17, but refused to take the symbolic step forward. The same day he was stripped of his title.

Two months later, he was found guilty, sentenced to five years in prison and fined $10,000. In his majority opinion, Circuit Judge J. P. Coleman said yesterday: "There has been no administrative process which Clay (also known as Muhammad Ali), has not sought within the Selective Service System, its local and appeal boards, the presidential appeal board and finally the federal courts, in an unsuccessful attempt to evade and escape from military service. "Being entirely satisfied that he has been fairly accorded due process of law, and without discrimination, we affirm his conviction.

James Bordon Cobb, 40, of Alexandria, wrote notes to his wife and the doctors within 12 hours after receiving the heart of a 15-year-old high school football player Sunday night.

Everett C. Thomas, 47, of Phoenix, sat up on the edge of his bed and Dr. Denton Cooley said he was "out of danger" from everything except the rejection problem. "The first initial rejection wave may he at its greatest intensity a week after the transplant," Cooley said, Thomas received his new heart from a 15-year-old girl last Friday. Cooley said he had another candidate for a transplant, but he did not have a donor and was not sure whether he would get one in time.

'No Patient Too Sick' "I have no intention at this moment of confining these operations to the two patients whom we have operated on," Cooley said at a news conference. "You see a patient almost every day who can use a transplant," he said. "No patient is too sick to have one because it is so desperate that you can't deny it the chance." Mrs. Cobb, 47, said her husband has had heart trouble nine years and has been bedfast since January. "We've been living with the fact he's been dying," she said.

At the Stanford (Calif.) University Medical Center yesterday, Dr. Norman E. Shumway said the center would continue and extend its heart transplant program although its first two patients died. The latest, 40-year-old Joseph Rizor of Salinas, died Sunday night from complications caused by a severe lung disease which allowed his new heart too little oxygen. West a Bit Tired Ri.or's death left only four of the world's 11 heart transplant recipients still alive, the two in Houston, one in Europe and one in South Africa.

In London yesterday, Frederick West, 45, a building contractor who received the heart of an Irish carpenter last Friday was described as a bit tired after sitting up in bed to eat, read and chat with doctors and nurses. In Cape Town, South Africa, Ph'lip Blaiberg, 58, is recuperating at his home after 74 days at Groote Schuur Hospilal where he was the world's third heart transplant patient. LOWEST VS.

PRESCRIPTION From AP and UPI Dispatches Richard Nixon opened a two-day presidential campaign trip through Nebraska yesterday, charging that President Johnson should "bite the bullet" himself and direct Congress in making budget cuts. Nixon said "history will not excuse a president who had the power and refused to act," seeking to place his own responsibilities on others. Businessmen Rack Humphrey Speaking to about 200 rain-soaked supporters at the Omaha airport, Nixon said, "The President's refusal to bite the bullet' himself, his refusal to cut his own budget, has added to a rising suspicion in Washington that Lyndon Johnson may have had second thoughts about his decision to step down." The question is, he added, "Why is he playing politics with the budget?" Meanwhile, in New York, Vice Presi- Ihnnplircy Leading Bobby, Poll Finds WASHINGTON (UPI) The Harris Poll reported yesterday that Vice President Hubert Humphrey has overtaken Sen. Robert F. Kennedy in voter popularity, and that Kennedy is the only Democrat who trails former Vice President Richard M.

Nixon. The poll appearing in The Washington Post said that Humphrey and Sen. Eugene McCarthy can defeat Nixon, who was the only major GOP candidate at the time it was taken, but that Nixon would defeat Kennedy 40 to 38 per cent. "He (Kennedy) has slipped behind Humphrey as the preferred choice among Democrats and in the present political situation has evolved a sharply negative personal reaction," Pollster Louis Harris reported. Among Democrats, Harris said Humphrey has moved into "a clear lead" with .38 per cent, compared with 27 per cent for Kennedy and 25 per cent for McCarthy.

The poll was taken between April 24 and May 1. NOW!

The committee is directing its efforts only toward Humphrey's nomination in August, not his election. John L.

Loeb, one of two chairmen heading the group, called Humphrey "a man for all ages." Loeb is a senior partner of Loeb, Rhoades, of New York. The committee said it would launch a fund-raising drive in Humphrey's behalf "to enable Mr. Humphrey to compete with others in the race." The group said that while Humphrey's "qualifications are abundant, his fiscal resources are not." Humphrey yesterday gained his first official endorsement from a labor union the Building Service Employes International. Other developments: George Wallace said he had gained a spot on the November presidential ballots in Texas and Michigan. He needed 14,259 voter signatures supporting his candidacy in Texas and said his staff had garnered 88,252.

"He claimed 32,101 names on petitions in Michigan where he needed 13,371. Henning Blomen, 57, a machinist from Cambridge, was nominated as the presidential candidate of the Socialist Labor Party.
