I July 11, 1972 Reno Evening Apollo 15 astronauts disciplined WASHINGTON (AP) The space agency disciplined the three Apollo 15 astronauts today for carrying 400 unauthorized postal covers to the moon and back last July and then turning 100 of them over to an acquaintance in West Germany. The 100 moon-stamped envesold to stamp for lopes later apparently, were 500 each, the National Aeronautics and Space Administration said. The other 300 unauthorized covers were confiscated a and are impounded at Manned Spacecraft Center, Houston, NASA said after an investigation that astronauts David Scott, Alfred Worden and James Irwin "exercised poor judgment in their action." "Therefore they will be reprimanded and their actions will be given due consideration in their: selection for future assignments," the agency said. Dr. George Low, NASA deputy administrator, commented: "Astronauts are under extreme stress in the months preceding a flight to the moon, and their poor judgment in carrying the unauthorized covers must be considered in this light.

"Nonetheless, NASA cannot condone these actions." The Apollo 15 crew, like those on earlier moon missions, had NASA's permission, within established procedures, to carry personal souvenir-type items, including some postal covers, The permission was granted with the condition that the articles be retained by the astronauts or be given to personal friends. They were not to be used for commercial or fundraising purposes or personal gain, NASA said. Chess match under way minus Fischer REYKJAVIK, ICELAND (AP) The World Chess Championship began today without Bobby Fischer, the American challenger. Champion Boris Spassky of Russia arrived exactly on time at 5 p.m., waited a minute, then calmly pushed his queen's pawn forward two spaces. Referee Lothar Schmid of West Germany pushed the button on the time clock and the match had begun.

Fischer sometimes chooses to be late to tournaments and matches. It was not known where he was. Then seven minutes after Spassky began the game, Fischer appeared from offstage left. With long strides he sped to the black leather swivel chair placed behind the white side of the board. Applause which greeted Fischer's arrival arose in crescendo when Spassky moved forward from the side of the stage where he had been waiting to shake Fischer's hand.

The American took a minute to regard the board and the queen's pawn opening Spassky favors. Fischer moved his king's side kniht to the king's bishop three square. Spassky seated himself and replied with a threat to the center of the board with his queen's bishop's pawn. Fischer pushed his king's pawn forwarding a square. Fischer has three losses and two draws with Spassky in five previous games.

Fischer has never beaten the Russian playing black. Vegas youths file for regent LAS VEGAS (AP) Two Las Vegas youths have filed for University of Nevada regent.

(AP) I Delighted scientists drank champagne toasts to the suc-. cessful airborne chase of an eclipse of the sun, which they say is certain to yield new findings about the fiery orb. "We expect to find all sorts of new things," said a beaming Dr. Arthur Cox, the expedition's leader, after the team of astronomers recorded pearly white grandeur of the solar corona Monday. The corona is the ring of hot gases that stream millions of miles out into space.

Scientists hope that by studying it they can find clues to how the sun interacts with earth and interferes with man's activities. Crowded into a converted Air Force cargo jet stuffed with 15 tons of scientific gear, the scientists, from the Los Alamos (N.M.) Scientific Laboratory, intercepted the eclipse 39,000 feet over the Arctic Circle northeast of ice-filled Hudson Bay in Canada's Northwest Territories. As the shadow of the moon passing in front of the sun streaked southeastward at 1,000 miles an hour, the flying laboratory raced it, reaching 565 miles per hour. This gave the scientists a precious 116 additional seconds during which they could view the sun totally obscured and see the white corona etched against the blackness of space. They kept their in this path of "totality" for three minutes and 45 seconds, and the results, except for a few minor problems, delighted everyone.

When the sun vanished altogether at 3:42 p.m. (EDT), the airplane's interior was almost as dark as night. Astronomers hovering over their telescopes and radiation-measuring devices used pencil flashlights to perform their duties. Outside, the ground was obscured by a thick layer of clouds and the black, ovalshaped lunar shadow could be seen 50 miles in opposite directions, with fluffy clouds brightly lit by the sun beyond the shadow. The view was the most striking from the cockpit.

"Out in front of us after the eclipse passed us we could see this huge circular shadow 120 miles wide moving across the clouds below us. It was the most fantastic sight I've ever seen," said Maj. Dan Yergler, the pilot. Hepatitis case confirmed at state hospital An 18-year-old female patient with off grounds privileges at the Nevada State Hospital has a confirmed case of viral hepatitis, according to a hospital official. But, "it is not a problem at this time and we don't anticipate it will be," said acting superintendent Ted Reynolds.

The girl has been placed in isolation in the facility's hospital. The infection causes an inflammation of the liver. Reynolds said state and county public health officials have been notified of the diagnosis and have assisted in finding any person who might have had contact with the girl. Eighty to 100 staff members and patients at the hospital received gamma globulin injecions for immnization against possible infection Friday, Monday, and today, Reynolds said. "We feel the situation is well in hand.

There's no need for alarm." Where the girl contacted the disease is "an impossible thing to judge," Reynolds said. "As far as we can determine, she didn't get it here." Dr. William Edwards, chief of preventive medicine for Nevada, said hepatitis is "kind of a common thing. There's always someone around who has it." Attacks on hijackers carefully weighed WASHINGTON (AP) Deci-1 sions to use force against a hijacker rather than submit to him are carefully weighed in advance, says John H. Shaffer, Federal Aviation Adminis.

trator. The decisions by the air crews in consultation with federal authorities, including the FBI, are balanced against the risks involved before action is taken, he says. In the case of the two hijackdeath aboard their commandeered plane at San Francisco, and the one killed in the attempted hijacking of a 747 at Saigon, the circumstances were carefully weighed and the response was appropriate, Shaffer said in an interview Monday. One passenger was killed and two others were wounded in the gun battle last Wednesday between FBI agents and the hijackers aboard the San Francisco jetliner. They were shot by the hijackers, the FBI said.

Both the San Francisco and Saigon hijackings were aborted while all the passengers and crew were held aboard by the hijackers. "Our strengthened stand against hijacking does not necessarily mean we shoot he said. "We are trying to head off killing. None of us is trying to take unnecessary risks when thinking what we will be able to do with minimum loss of life," he added. Pentagon papers trial judge asks questions LOS ANGELES (AP) The judge in the Pentagon Papers trial resumed questioning potential jurors today after one defendant in the case--Anthony Russo-walked out on a closeddoor meeting in the judge's chamber.

Russo said he left the attorney's conference because the prosecutor, Asst. U.S. Atty. David Nissen, had lodged a complain against Russo for displaying on the courtroom counsel table a copy of the book version of the Pentagon Papers. "I told him this is part of my Russo commented.

He said he felt there was nothing to discuss. Attorneys and Russo's co-defendant, Daniel Ellsberg emerged moments later and the panel of potential jurors and alternates was brought into he jury box. The judge, who had questioned them briefly Monday about attitudes toward government policy, began asking about panelists' personal background and seeking more indepth information about their views. The search for a jury judge Ellsberg and Russo had begun Monday with questions about the U.S. government and its policies.

Man fires shots in robbery, police report Robbery victim Ester Amburn fired eight pistol shots at a man who was fleeing with $125 Monday from the Sterling Village Market, 505 Denslowe Drive, Reno police said. Although the shots missed, police later arrested two men in a car at Sutro Street and Wedekind Road for investigation of armed robbery. Jailed were Michael Lee Morley, 24, and John P. Doherty, 38, both of 1155 Beech St. The victim reported a man had first approached the check stand with a six pack of beer, then brandished a tire iron and demanded the money from the register.

He fled with the cash in a bag, as the shots rang out behind him, police said. ACCIDENTAL SHOOTING LAS VEGAS (AP) A 12- year-old Las Vegas boy was killed Monday in an accidental shooting. Authorities identified the victim as Steve Doyle Sanson. 2ND MORTGAGE LOANS CONSOLIDATE BILLS Reduce Monthly Payments Pay Off Bills ANY EQUITY IN YOUR HOME CAN MEAN A LOAN CALL 786-1414 COMMUNITY MORTGAGE COMPANY 1890 LOCUST RENO Shaffer said those who would castigate the pilot of the 747 for his actions leading to the fatal shooting of the young hijacker at Saigon should consider the alternative of flying a large planeload of American military personnel into the North Vietnam capital. As for the over hijack-extortion picture, Shaffer found encouragement in 1 what he called steady improvement of security at airports and among airline personnel generally.

He noted that American Airlines, as an example, has ordered 136 advanced types of magnetometer detection devices so sensitive they react not only to ferrous metals but "can check the fillings in your teeth for gold and silver." Airlines operate shuttle services--Eastern and Pacific Southwest, particularly are thorough about inspecting all passengers and baggage and demanding identifications, as ordered by President Nixon last Friday, Shaffer said. "We have not been completely successful in denying boarding to people who are armed and have hijacking tent," Shaffer said, noting that there have been seven successful hijackings of U.S. flights this year out of 24 attempts. "But we have been successful in 1 preventing hijacking from becoming a complete extortion," he added. Of more than a dozen hijackers who collected ransom, all but two later were taken into custody and their loot reclaimed, FAA tallies showed.

Only two ransom payments have not yet been recovered. In one case, the hijacker, who had bailed out over a Honduran jungle, surrendered but said he McGovern cinches nomination (Continued from page 1) was "sort of surprised" to learn of Humphrey's withdrawal from the presidential race.

(AP) "It was a miracle," said a sheriff's deputy after a 9-month-old boy survived after authorities said he was shot by his mother. The mother, despondent over a broken marriage, shot herself and died, they said.

When neighbors who heard the shots Monday from the mountain cabin came running, they found the mother dying on the floor and the boy standing in his crib bawling. He smiled at them and played with a toy while waiting for an ambulance. Doctors said the bullet that Alice Baumgartner, 32, fired at point blank range at her son Scott entered the shoulder, traveled through the torso without hitting a vital organ and left the body at the lower back. Scott was reported to be in good condition today at San Bernardino County Hospital. Deputies said Mrs.

Baumgartner left a note referring to her husband, Gary, who had separated from her a few days before. A 10-year-old daughter by an earlier marriage and an adopted 4-year-old daughter were in another room of the cabin and weren't hurt. Reno police arrest man in lewdness case Cornelius Martin Healy, 20, of 1377 E. 11th St. was arrested for investigation gross lewdness Monday on complaint of three teen-age girls, Reno police said.

Healy at the time was on bail on charges of kidnaping, attempted rape and assault with a deadly weapon involving complaint of a 24-year-old woman June 7. The latter reported, she from was a forced market to parking drive lot, was fondled and stabbed, police said. Healy was arrested two days later. Monday, the girls reported a man tried to get into their car on Lander Street at about 4 p.m. and fondled them.

Police arrested Healy few minutes later at California and Arlington avenues.

Lovelock Valley water level 'is very low' Special to the Gazette LOVELOCK The residents a of the City of Lovelock and those using water from the Lovelock city reservoir are requested to use as little water as possible until the end of the current hot spell, Mayor Lyle Wilcox said today. The mayor asked the cooperation of the city residents and water users in upper and lower parts of Lovelock Valley because the water level "is very low." The city pick up enough water to replenish the supply at night and recover the amount originally in the reservoir, 1 he said.

There was nine feet of water in the reservoir the mornng, the lowest it has been this year, Wilcox said. "Each day it seems to get a little lower," Wilcox said. "If it keeps going the way it is now, in a week or so the reservoir water supply will hit bottom. "It would be a tough situation if the present amount of consumption continues and there is an emergency or fire," he said. The residents are asked to use water in the earlier part of the day.

Peak hours for water consumption are from 4 to 10 p.m., because people are off work and tourists are using water at motels, he said. The city reservoir holds one million gallons at a depth of 13 feet. The top of the reservoir is wider than the bottom. It is figured that at present there is approximately 300,000 to 400,000 gallons held. If people conserve water, it is hoped the reservoir will begin to refill, Wilcox said.

Several places within the city limits do have independent supplies of water, such as wells. Among these are the Pershing County Court House and Lovelock city offices. Two men die in plane crash MARTINEZ, Calif. "(AP) Two men killed in the crash of a small plane near San Ramon in 1 Contra Costa county were brothers, the coroner's office says, They were identified Monday as Henry David Gribbon, 30, Oakland, and Robert Alexander Gribbon, 17, Greenfield, Mass. Henry Gribbon was believed piloting the single engine plane which plummeted into an open field Saturday.

Identities were withheld earlier because their parents were on vacation and had not been notified of their sons' deaths, the coroner's office said. The convention agreed to drop credentials cases affecting delegates from Michigan, Texas, Rhode Island, Washington, Connecticut and Oklahoma. Earlier, it rejected a challenge seeking more women in the South Carolina delegation and the bid of a racially mixed group to supplant the pro-Wallace Alabama group. As the convention opened in the brilliantly lit convention hall, roving groups of demonstrators who had broken away from a protest rally assembled outside. One group pulled down a section of a restraining fence.

Until the crucial California contest, most delegates appeared to show little interest in the proceedings, talking with friends and neighbors and milling in the aisles despite O'Brien's best efforts to keep the business moving. But the 20-minute debate on California brought delegates to attention amid repeated rounds of applause and boos. Rotary directors agree to study housing project The Reno Rotary Club directors have agreed to look into a possible project to create a high-rise condominium for the elderly, President Gerge Ball Jr. said today. Ball said the directors this morning agreed to check with a consulting firm on what steps to take.

The directors also will contact an Ohio Rotary Club which engaged in a similar project, he said. No firm commitment has been made by the Reno club, Ball said. "But the board is enthused and I think we will be able to do it." If the project gets under way, Ball said it would likely involve other service organizations and official bodies. Ball said he does not feel at this point that today's Laxalt Enterprises announcement a senior citizen apartment complex would affect the Rotary plan. The Laxalts plan 144 rental units for the elderly near the El Rancho Drive-In Theater, Jerry Dondero, a Laxalt associate, said.

Ball said the Rotary project would be a different type development, and would hopefully be located near or in the downtown area for the convenience of the elderly, who often do not have cars.
