French scientists warmly praised the U.S. success. "The Ranger experiment established that the Americans have gained considerable progress in the space race Prof. Auguste Collier of the French Academy of Science declared. 'The success of the experi ment also gives new evidence that the Americans have mastered the problem of thrusting a heavy payload into space and directing it toward a desired target, Collier said.

The French news agency dis tributed a detailed technical account of the Ranger 7 flight. From Bonn, West German Chancellor Ludwig Erhard congratulated President Johnson on the successful moon landing. "We are happy with the American people over this tremendous technical and scientific achievement," Erhard said in a telegram to the President. Japanese scientists hailed the U.S. moon landing as "the first step" toward placing the first human explorers on the moon.

Belgian papers hailed the successful U.S. moonshot across front pages and the. Belgian radio devoted the longest part of its evening newscast to a special report from its U.S. correspondent. The Argentine air force sent congratulations to the United States, calling the Ranger 7 flight "man's triumph over matter in one of the great successes of our time." New Rocket Ranger 7 is a new national achievement of the United States in its program of exploration of the moon and a contribution to the study of outer space.

The Soviet Union conducted missile tests along its Pacific range last December and January. Little information was given on the nature of the tests, except that they were of new, improved versions of space craft booster rockets. Distance covered by the rockets would depend on which launching site in Russia was used. A known launch area near the Caspian Sea would be more 'v "4-f 1 1 By RICHARD WITKIN 1964 New York Times News Service PASADENA, Calif.

The great potential value of such detail for Project Apollo was that it should clear some doubts remaining about whether. j( See Page 6A for additional stories on the moon-shot. the two-man "bug" being built for the first manned landings can safely do the job.

Its spidery landing legs have been conservatively designed with a wide-open stance and large feet to cope with a variety of lunar topography. It was not expected that the Ranger 7 pictures would give more than inconclusive clues on another critical issue. This has to do with the consistency of the lunar surface. Is it soft or hard? The triumph of Ranger 7 ended a succession of 12 fail ures in 12 attempts by various U.S. agencies to put useful equipment on or near the moon in the past six years.

It was also a vindication of the Jet Propulsion Laboratory, which had come in for painful criticism following the failure of Ranger 6 to transmit any pictures last winter. Ranger 7s six slow-scan TV cameras, built by the Radio Corp. of America, began snap ping their pictures and transmitting them about 19 minutes before impact. They were able tc furnish some 4,320 still pictures before the craft, wound up a heap of rubble just a few miles from the bull's-eye picked when the last rocket maneuver was made midway along the flight path on Wednesday. The impact speed was 5,850 miles an hour.

The TV pictures pouring from the two 60-volt transmitters on the spacecraft were gobbled up by two 85-foot dish antennaes at Goldstone. They were recorded by three different methods, to play things as Entered as second class matter. Post Office, Tucson, Arizona Four of those known dead are from one family.

In essence, Hayden said, this means that when the bill is im plemented there shall be an adequate supply of water the basin for Arizona. Hayden called the approval of the bill a very positive step toward Arizona's final realization of its rightful share of the waters of the Col orado River." Arizona's Gov.

Brown said the revised bill struck the regional water plan and California a damaging blow. Brown said an amendment inserted by the committee limits the search for new water supplies to northern California and "so cripples the concept of regional water development that I can no longer support the bill."

V-Ranger 7's historic closeups of the moon show the surface in its impact area to be a smooth plain pocked with hundreds of small craters. Scientists at the Jet Propulsion Laboratory, which made and guided the spacecraft, released some of the pictures Friday night and commented on what they show. Clustering of the craters, invisible to Earth telescopes, indicates that they were caused by rocks thrown from the larger crater of Copernicus 200 miles north of the Sea of Clouds, where Ranger hit within 10 miles of its target. Dr. Gerard Kuiper of the Lunar Planetary Laboratory of the University of Arizona was lead-off expert at a news conference.

He called the pictures truly remarkable, and said they show progress in lunar photography by a factor not of 10 or 100 but of 1,000. The tiny camera-packed space voyager crashed into the Sea of Clouds at 6:25 a.m. after broadcasting more than 4,000 of the first closeups of lunar terrain. The historic photos, taken by two wide-angle and four narrow-angle cameras during the last 16 minutes and 40 seconds before impact, were hailed, as a huge stride toward a lunar land'ng by astronauts. Kuaiper said 4,316 photographs were obtained.

"This gives you an idea of the amount of work ahead for us," he said. The first picture shown as a lantern slide was comparable to one that might be obtained from a 100-inch telescope on Earth. There was slightly more detail on the second and Kuiper said the numerous craters on the third would be "totally un- observable from Earth. The fourth slide showed what Kuiper called "a remarkable clustering of very small craters" apparently produced when the larger Copernicus "tossed out small rock fragment and made secondary craters." He said this area was rough, and "a region as badly battered (Continued on Page 6A, Col. 2) carrier rockets for space objects will be conducted by the Soviet Union in accordance with the program of further space studies," said Tass, the Soviet news agency.

Ships and aircraft were warned to stay 75 miles from the center of each impact area from noon until midnight each day of the test period. The announcement gave no hint of the new varieties of space vehicles the Russians would use in the launch program. The Soviet Union, at the same time, congratulated the United States on its successful Ranger Rochester Is Armed Camp For Weekend ROCHESTER, N.Y. IPI-Hundreds of helmeted city and state police patrolled Rochester's Negro sections Friday night, grimly determined to prevent any renewal of last weekend's mob rioting and looting. The police were assisted by sheriff's deputies and backed up by combat-ready National Guard troops prepared to add their force if needed.

Guardsmen have spent the past week sharpening anti-riot techniques in the use of bayonets, tear and rifle butts. They aiv camped in several public and armories. A spokesman for the combined law enforcement forces said, "We are ready for any eventuality, all we can do is watch and wait." French Units Moving Near Iron Curtain PARIS Wi Atlantic Alliance officials said Friday France will soon move two divisions into position near the Iron Curtain in southern Germany to beef up western defenses. French, German and NATO sources said the move, planned several months ago, had been held up by lack of barracks facilities for the French troops. They all denied a published report that France had rejected a NATO request to make the move.

The French have notified Allied officials they are ready to move up their brigade as soon as the facilities are available. The West German government, which is supposed to furnish facilities, said the delay came about because it is still pressed for space for its own expanding army. French sources noted an arm ored cavalry regiment will soon leave a sector of Bavaria, but pointed out that quarters for a regiment could hardly accom modate two divisions. The French say they do not want to move their troops piecemeal but as a unit. SHAPE offi cers said this was understandable and made military sense.

7 moon-photographing shot, but pointed out a Russian space flight transmitted photns of the moon five years ago. "As is known, as far back as Sept. 14, 1959, a Soviet rocket delivered to the moon a pennant with the Soviet Union's coat-of-arms," Tass said. "The Soviet Union was the pioneer of taking photographs of the moon by means of an automatic interplanetary station. The world remembers that in October of the same year the reverse invisible side of the moon was photographed.

"Soviet scientists are happy to note that the lauching of Washes Impede Vehicular Traffic By BOB THOMAS Slashing rain hit the northeast and northwest sections of Tucson yesterday morning as a hit-and-miss pattern of rain storms spread over southern Arizona. Little damage was reported, however. The Weather Bureau reported .27 of an inch of rain by 11 p.m. yesterday and 1.06 inches Thursday for a July total of 4.90 inches, as compared to a scant 1.66 inches for July 1963. Most of the damage in and around Tucson was caused by runoff waters.

Little wind accompanied the steady rains. One unwary motorist was rescued when his car stalled in a swift-running wash on the northeast side of the city. The usual bad spots sections of 5th dips on Grant, Pima and Ft. Lowell Rds. and the Rillito Wash crossings were flooded and impassible to most vehicles.

Heavy rains were reported in the Avra Valley. Runoff near Ryan Field created a lake across a low-lying section of the Ajo Rd. with water five feet deep in some dips. More runnoff closed the Sil-verbell Rd. and the Anway Rd.

In the Avra Valley section near Marana. Flooded washes also shut down travel on Ina and Tangerine Rds. Traffic on the Casa Grande Hwy. near Marana was slowed by water a foot deep. Except for debris and small washouts the roads suffered no major damage.

A cloudburst struck the foothills of the Tucson Mountains and damaged dirt roads to vari ous extents. Howard Miller, of the Wild Horse Ranch, said his official Weather Bureau rain gauge recorded 2.61 inches of rain in an hour and 15 minutes. He said the downpour was the worst there in 25 years.

Astronauts Plari Intensive Study Of Moon Films HOUSTON, UPr-The nation's astronaut team will begin studying prints of Ranger 7's moon pictures as quickly as possible.

A spokesman at the Manned Spacecraft Center said Friday prints will be rushed to the Houston training base for astronauts as soon as they are processed. The spokesmen said the astronauts and lunar technologists will study the pictures with two objectives to determine surface characteristics of the moon and, possibly, to pinpoint a land ing area for the urst astronaut team to reach the moon. The center currently hopes to place a two-man astronaut team on the moon by 1970. Tests than 8,000 miles from the Pa cific impact area.

The United States customarily keeps surveillance on target areas during a boviet test series. using Navy ships and aircraft and long-range, land-based ra dar. Tracking stations in Turkey and Alaska are capable of providing key information on early stages of flight. As in the past, the Soviet Union said it will station spe cially equipped Navy vessels in the target areas to monitor the flights and record telemetry data. in lunar astronomy since Gal-r ileo, the spacecraft sent back more than 4,000 still television photographs before crashing into an area northwest of the Sea of Clouds.

After a look at a few hastily- processed Polaroid prints, Dr. William H. Pickering said: "They are several times better than any pictures of the moon we have seen before from the point of view of resolution. We will certainly see things on the final pictures that we have never seen before." Dr. Pickering is director of the Jet Propulsion Laboratory of the National Aeronautics and Space Administration.

The lab oratory carried out the Ranger project. The final prints were pro cessed with what was described as "tender loving care" in one of the finest Hollywood labora tories, and were expected to be considerably better in detail. The lunar close-ups promised not only to multiply what man knows of the moon's terrain and its bleak history but to remove roadblocks to firm planning for the first lunar landing by American astronauts. The closest of the shots was snapped and transmitted three-tenths of a second before impact at an altitude of just one-half mile. In October, 1959, the Russians were able to photograph the far side of the moon the side al ways hidden from earth with their Lunik III satellite.

But while these provided man with his first solid evidence of what the hidden side looked like, the resolution or clarity was minimal. The Soviet pictures contributed no new understand ing of the precise nature of the lunar terrain. Ranger 7 told a different story. Even the small-sized preliminary Polaroid shots gave assur ance that man was on the threshold of new discoveries whose meaning could be enor mous The best telescopes on earth cannot delineate objects less than a mile or more across, Hopes were that the Ranger 7 prints would pick up objects a small fraction as large. A compromise measure worked out by Sens.
