Scott and James B. Irwin took a two-hour bouncing motor trip Saturday to the brink of a lunar canyon and the dusty base of a moon mountain. In all they spent 6 hours 13 minutes walking and riding over the surface, setting up experiments and rock-hunting in the lunar dust. They stepped to the lunar soil at 9:30 a.m. EST.

"I can't believe we came over those mountains," Scott said looking back at the Apennine chain. They had flown over them the day before and motored through the lunar, valley to the lower slopes. "We did," replied Irwin. "This is just a nice beautiful little valley." The day that began with thrills ended with fatigue. For more than an hour, loading their precious moon samples into the Falcon, their breathing came rapidly and noisily over the radio channels.

By 3:43 p.m., they were safely back in Falcon, hatch closed. Earlier they had to cut short a couple of stops on their itinerary, because of minor but time- BEST dairy showmen at the fair Saturday were, from left, Roger Milburn, 4-H senior; Lisa Milburn, 4-H junior, and Eddie Layton, FFA.

They lost the steering in the front wheels and had to rely on steering with rear wheels to cover the five-mile exploration route. "This is a sport driving course," laughed Irwin as they rumbled in and out of craters.

"What a Grand Prix this is," Scott agreed. When the moon men returned to the Falcon, after the first of three planned excursions, astronaut Donald K. Slayton, director of flight crew operations, told them they had done such a good job they could take the rest of the day off. "Thanks, boss," Scott replied. They left Falcon, their lunar lander, at 11:19 a.m.

EDT, and they were back at the landing site by 1:32 p.m. to set up the seven experiments they will leave on the lunar Surface. It was arduous work. Scott, trying to drill a 10-foot hole in the lunar soil, found it harder than expected. He managed the first hole and part of the second, and Mission Control advised him to finish the job Sunday.

The astronauts, who landed on its 600-member conference of local union officials who will either approve a contract or call the nation's first industrywide strike in a dozen years. The White House was keeping close tabs on the talks in concern over the impact of a strike -on the nation's economy, already troubled by a rail strike and the after effects of strikes in the telephone and copper industries. The Steelworkers' crucial conference meeting, was moved from 2 p.m. EDT to 8 p.m., pushing the vital decision to settle or strike closer to the midnight deadline. The steel companies already were banking blast furnaces in preparation' for a possible shutdown.

Bethlehem Steel the nation's second-largest producer, announced its furnaces will remain shut down all week. Harold F.

l. The union is seeking a steel contract at least as good as the 30 per cent or more wage hikes over three years it won from the aluminum, copper and can manufacturing industries. The Nixon administration has. said a steel wage package of that would add to inflation problems, but sources indicated the government was resigned to a settlement package in the 30 per cent range. Steelworkers now average $3.45 per hour in straight time wages.

Overtime and incentive pay bring average earnings up to $4.36 per hour. In addition 4o Bethlehem the firms in the negotiations are U. S.
