They were joined by the UA band, Air Force and Army KQTC drill teams, Angel Sigma Alpha Epsilon fraternity and Gamma Phi Beta sorority won the top prize of $150 in their divisions and Phi Sigma Kappa and Alpha Omicron Pi won the mixed division with a red, yellow and blue float showing the state emblem on the back.

In a conversation Saturday with astronaut Don Lynn, the capsule communicator at Mission Control, Conrad noted that such a rule is written into the handbooks for airplane pilots. "They can write that in the Saturn 5 handbook right now," he said. "I keep telling you, you can't fly through thunderstorms," Lynn said.

Conrad, Richard F. Gordon Jr. and Alan L. Bean had 12 harrowing seconds Friday as a Saturn 5 rocket blasted them away from Cape Kennedy In a rainstorm to start their moonlanding journey. A sudden dropout in electricity momentarily wiped out many of their systems.

But the pilots remained calm and quickly restored order by resetting circuit breakers. "I'm not sure we didn't get hit by lightning," Conrad later told Mission Control, reporting he saw a bright flash out the win forthcoming visit of Japan's pre mler, Elsaku Sato, with Secre "Spanish Eyes."

As the talks took place, thou From Page 1) Awards were presented to Ralph M. Bilby of Flagstaff, Jose Hemovich of San Francisco From Page 1) marchers 17 abreast shouting "Peace Now, Peace Now." At 15th street, there was a solid row of municipal buses parked along the curb between the marchers and the White House, which was only one-half block away. Before the march began, the police had a 24-block area around the White House. Both the Pentagon and the District of Columbia government had prepared massively against the chance of major violence. More than 2,000 metropolitan police were on duty in the capital.

And in each of the Federal buildings on or near the parade route, including the Justice, Labor and Commerce Department buildings, Army and Marine troops were held in reserve. The march along Pennsylvania Avenue was contained by an imprepable, hand-to-hand line at some points a double line of the marchers own marshals. One man observed sourly that the marshals were "more officious than the police," and at times there seemed to be as many marshals as marchers. The inner courts of the Pentagon and the justice department looked like bristling fortresses, as hundreds of rifle-carrying paratroopers stood in formation. But the troops were never seen on the streets during the march and rally, and the policemen who were seen around the parade route were directing the scattered traffic.

There were hundreds of banners and posters on parade. Some of the legends were old; many were humorous, with vice president Ag-new a special target. Among the sips: "Good trick, Dick, you brought us together again;" "A Majority for a silent Agnew;" "Spiro for Apollo 13;" Vietnam: love it or leave "Tyranny has always depended on a silent majority;" "I'm an effete intellectual snob for peace;" "Silent majority condoned Hitler;" "Support your local planet;" "What plan, Mr. President?" (Continued time and in modern times basing their action on the loyalty of their people have done great harm to their own countries and to the world. The great loyalty of the Roman citizens moved the Caesars to war, the great loyalty of the French moved Napoleon to actions which should never have been taken.

Let us in the United States take warning from that experience." Sen. George S. McGovern, who with Sen. Charles Goodell, and Mrs. Martin Luther King led the parade, told the rally: "We meet to declare peace and to put an end to war not at some time in the future but now." "We are not here to break a President," said Goodell.

"We are here to break a war and to begin a peace." Added Mrs. King: "We have been told we cannot afford the humiliation of withdrawal. I feel that even less can we afford the humiliation of pursuing a war for ignoble ends." The outpouring came as a climax to three days of anti-war demonstrations here and across the country. A 40-hour demonstration that the protesters called a "march against death," in which 40,000 filed past the White House bearing the names of the U.S. dead in Vietnam ended at 7:30 a.m.

Shortly thereafter, the crowds began assembling at the foot of the Capitol for the mass march. The march, scheduled to begin at 10 a.m., got underway 25 minutes late. In the lead were three drummers, followed by youths carrying aloft 11 wooden caskets that contained placards bearing the names of the dead, which had been paraded by the White House. Next came a man bearing an Immense wooden cross, a large banner saying "silent majority for peace" and then row after row of 1969 Homecoming activities will end today with an all-sports sands of peace demonstrators filed up Pennsylvania Avenue to lettermen's breakfast in the Ter within one block of the White race Ballroom of the Pioneer House.

"Racial tension may the the single greatest problem that faces us, yet more has been done for Integration In this country than in any other." Borman said that Vietnam Is another major problem but that the one great desire among the nation's leaders is to end it with a lasting peace.

Such a course was plotted so that, if the Apollo's main rocket failed to send the spaceship into lunar orbit, the craft would swing around the back of the moon and on the strength of lunar gravity head back toward the earth without any help from the rocket. On a hybrid trajectory, the spacecraft would come too close to the moon for an accurate free return to earth. Without a rocket fir ing behind the moon, spaceship would miss the earth on its return by some 56,000 miles. Flight directors decided to take the extra risk on Apollo 12 because of the flawless performance by the spacecraft rocket in all previous flights. If it should fail to get the astronauts into lunar orbit, it would still be possible for Apollo 12 to return to earth by igniting the descent rocket of the attached lunar module.

It is the same rocket that must fire successfully to get the astronauts into and out of lunar orbit. The rocket burst was timed to slow down the spaceship and alter its trajectory to an even longer, curving course. The trajectory should make it possible for Apollo 12 to make its lunar landing at the time when the sun is just rising over the Ocean of Storms and when the spacecraft is in contact with the space agency's primary deep space tracking antenna at Goldstone, Calif. The new trajectory la called a "hybrid," meaning that it is a compromise between two different paths that could be taken to the moon.

On previous lunar flights, astronauts followed a "free turn" trajectory as an added safety touch of again," said Conrad, after their engine fired Apollo 12 onto a new course.

(AP) The United States told the United Nations Saturday the moon rocks brought back by Apollo 11 last July, are 8 to 4 billion years old. Scientists of the National Aeronautics and Space Administration said Sept. 15 in Washington that the rocks were 2.5 to 3 billion years old.

The age of the oldest rocks on earth is a little over 3 billion years, scientists say. U.S. Chief Delegate Charles W. Yost gave the latest estimate in a to U.N. Secretary-General Thant made public Saturday.

Yost said preliminary findings Indicate the moon rocks are of two basic types: fine and medium-grained igneous rocks crystalized 3 to 4 billion years ago, and rocks formed of cemented pieces of such rocks. Igneous rocks are those formed when molten material cools and 5 Chip resistant and oven proof for warming looks like fine china. Dishwasher, detergent proof.
