Tuesday, April 2 Electrical interference Astronauts repair guidance system damage Continued from page 1) in switching antennas aboard the spacecraft to maintain constant radio communications. But it was not a real problem and communications improved when the astronauts awakened. After Mattingly freed the locked guidance unit, he had to align it with stars so the system would know where it was.

This was difficult at first, Mattingly said, because a mass of particles floating around the spacecraft looked like stars. He Anally sighted on the more easily seen moon and sun and successfully realigned the system. "Okay, it looks like we're pretty much on target again," Mattingly reported. "Okay, we're going to let you get some rest," replied Hartsfield. "We'll look the data over during the night and have a story for you in the morning." he said about 4:45 a.m.

Trailing the three astronauts was the 62 foot long hulk of the Saturn 5 rocket third stage that propelled Apollo 16 out of earth orbit Sunday. Young and Duke, who will explore crater rims and mountain slopes for three days on America's next-to-last moon exploration mission, crawled into the lander Orion for the second time late Monday night. They inspected it for nearly two hours and found nothing amiss. "All of the systems on board looked normal and everything looked very good." controllers reported after examining data radioed 147,000 miles back to Earth. Apollo 16 then was 83.000 miles from the moon.

The spent Saturn rocket will smash into the Ocean of Storms at 4:01 p.m. EST Wednesday with the explosive impact of 11 tons of TNT. The resulting vibrations will reach deep into the lunar crust and probe a mysterious rock layer discovered when seismometers recorded tremors from a similar impact of Apollo 15's rocket last summer. When the Saturn hits the front face of the moon, the astronauts will be circling the far side. The astronauts will brake into lunar orbit 38 minutes before the Saturn impact.

At one point during Monday night's trouble shooting. Mattingly also crawled through the tunnel linking the lander with the command ship Casper to get a look at Orion's cabin. He will remain in Casper for six days in lunar orbit. While inspecting the mecha- EB and FLO THANK I CAN'T REMEMBER WHEN I ENJOYED MYSELF SO MUCH CiUi 721 V.

The Herald quoted Mrs. Wolshin as saying the Marine. Tim Boudette. appeared in the back yard of her mother's Miami apartment Saturday afternoon. She said he looked like a "nice young man." "I asked him what he wanted." Mrs.

Wolshin told The Herald, and he replied he was a friend of her son. "Well, I was just overjoyed, and we welcomed him into the house and put on dinner. I treated him as if he were my own son," Mrs. Wolshin told The Herald. The newspaper said her treatment of Boudette apparently caused him to have a change of heart, and he told her: "Listen.

I have to level with you. Your husband sent me here to kill you." The newspaper quoted Mrs Wolshin as saying her 22-year marriage had been a stormy one. and that her husband had her put in jail several times for what she said were fabricated charges.

Ford recalls Torinos, Montegoes of 1972 DETROIT (UPI)-Ford Motor Co.

has recalled all the Ford Torinos and Mercury tegoes built in 1972 to correct a bearing problem that could cause the rear wheels to fall off under stress. A total of 396.000 the entire 1972 model-year run of intermediate size cars built by the involved in the recall "dating back to job one of the 1972 models" a spokesman said Monday. Ford said that it has received reports of 16 cases in which the rear wheels and axle were separated from vehicles, but only one of these known cases involved personal injury. Gordon H. Robertson, service engineering manager, said the problem results from the deterioration of rear axle bearings, which he attributed to a combination of factors affecting bearing life.

"Under extreme conditions (such as a sharp turni. an axle shaft might become disengaged from the rear axle housing, possibly without adequate warning to the driver." he said. Ford said owners of the affected vehicles would be notified to take their cars to a dealership for installation of a set of auxiliary retainer plates that will give audible warning of bearings failure. With the auxiliary retainer plates installed. Ford said, the "droning, whirring, grinding sound" normally associated with wheel bearing failures will be clearly heard.

However, a spokesman said the automaker does not believe it is necessary to replace the bearings. "We feel that the retainer plate will solve the problem," he said. nism holding the two spacecraft together, Mattingly found one of 12 stainless steel latches had not closed. This was not considered a problem because only three latches are needed to grip the two craft. The astronauts closed the hatches between the two craft at midnight and settled down for their second night's sleep in space, listening to some recorded Kentucky bluegrass banjo music as they performed early morning housekeeping chores.

The mysterious paint peeling problem on Orion still puzzled engineers, but they said it would not affect the 12-day. $445 million expedition. The astronauts reported more of the heat protection paint shredded off the lander late Monday. Two hours before inspecting Orion, the astronauts Tired a two-second burst from their big service propulsion engine to refine their trajectory toward the moon. Mission Control said the maneuver was 'perfect, lining the 52-ton spaceship up so that it will pass 82 miles in front of the moon for the important lunar orbital maneuver.

Tugs to tow tanker to port LONG BEACH (UPI) -Two commercial tugs put lines aboard a disabled 712-foot tanker today and prepared to take the vessel under tow in deteriorating weather conditions. The tanker Thetis has been wallowing in six-foot waves and winds of 15 to 20 knots since Monday afternoon when its engine broke down on a trip to Guam. It dropped anchor 2.000 yards off San Nicholas Island when the heavy seas threatened to sweep it onto the coast of the island 20 miles west of Catalina Island. The Coast Guard said the tugs Sea Otter and San Pedro put lines aboard the stricken tanker at mid-morning but were waiting for the tanker's crew to secure the lines before taking the vessel under tow. Because of the tanker's disabled engine, the Coast Guard said, the crew is unable to hoist the anchor with power and will have to cut the anchor chain with torches.

The Coast Guard said "the weather looks worsening with winds from the west to northwest of 20 knots and gusting to 27 knots." The Coast Guard cutter Point Carrew was standing by. the Coast Guard said. The'Point Carrew and the Navy oiler USS Wabash tried unsuccessfully Monday night to take the tanker in tow.

Supreme Court rules for loyalty oath WASHINGTON -A sharply divided Supreme Court ruled 4 to 3 today that states can require employes to sign a broad loyalty oath opposing the overthrow of government by force, violence or illegal means. The decision upholding a Massachusetts oath seemingly represented a switch of direction by the Court which, in the past, has invalidated loyalty procedures in such states as Florida.

Arizona. Maryland. New York and Washington. The latter laws were struck down on grounds they required a state employe to swear he was not a member of the Communist party or similar organization. The Massachusetts oath was in two parts.

The first pledged to uphold and defend the Constitution, which was approved by a lower federal court. The second, however, required the employe to swear he "opposes the overthrow of the government of the United States of America or of this commonwealth by force, violence or by any illegal or unconstitutional method." The lower court had thrown this out as "hopelessly vague" but the Supreme Court's majority opinion by Chief Justice Warren E. Burger reinstated it. Joining Burger in his opinion were Justices Potter Stewart. Byron R.

The House Appropriations Subcommittee on Interior and related agencies is currently holding hearings on the budget for the year starting July 1, 1972, Congressman Pettis has testified before this committee annually in order to describe the fire danger in the San Bernardino National Firest. Pettis said in his statement, "Forest fire problems are more critical in my area of Southern California than anywhere else in the nation. Average acres burned annually on the four Southern California National Forests is over 75.000 acres, and annual damages average $23,000,000. This doesn't include the real cost homeowners pay for burned homes or homes filled with can do something about this problem now and I urge the adoption of the Forest Service Environmental Program for the future which is designed to adequately protect these valuable is one area in which we can halp.

We can't do much about drought and high winds, but we can give forest firefighters every advantage with fuel breaks, proper equipment and available manpower. Regarding the smog research program in the San Bernardino Mountains Pettis said. "The San Bernardino National Forest smog research program was established in 1966 and has compiled important basic information on smog and forest life. For example, the discovery that certain species of trees like redwood and sequoias withstand smog better than others has led to a national replanting effort to replace trees killed by cutbacks contemplated for this project will effectively halt further study into this crucial I urge the Committee to approve a funding level that would support the program more fully."
