(AP) -Green Beret Dr. Jeffrey Mac-Donald sat fighting back tears at a funeral service Saturday for his pregnant wife and two small daughters victims of a bizarre slaying. The stocky, ruggedly handsome captain, 26, held his emotions in cneck until the final moments of a 25-minute Roman Catholic Mass, when sobs shook him. "It was the worst funeral I've ever had to conduct," said the i-t-OV GQRDON'S SP JEWELERS MSB AWARDED AIR MEDAL Sp4 Charles E. Johnson of 5098 Gertrude Jackson, has been awarded the Air Medal for meritorious achievement while participating in aerial flights in Vietnam.

SP4 Johnson has been in Vietnam since May 10, 1969, and is assiped to the Combat Support Company, 1st Battalion, 2nd Infantry, 1st Infantry Division, Dau Tieng, Vietnam. He is a graduate of Forest Hill High School, Class of '67, and is the son of Mr. and Mrs. Coleman E. Bragg's Special Forces Training Center.

He was accompanied by two agents of the Army's Criminal Investigation Division and a military policeman. When MacDonald emerged, tears streamed down his cheeks. MacDonald sat on a front row during the Mass, directly in front of three silvery gray coffins containing the bodies of his wife, Colette, 26; and daughters Kimberly, 6, and Kristen, 2, who had been stabbed and beaten to death. Next to him sat his wife's stepfather and mother, Mr. and Mrs.

Alfred Kassab of Stony Brook, N.Y.; and behind him sat his mother, Mrs. Dorothy MacDonald of Patchogue, N.Y. MacDonald's brother, James, a'so of Patchogue, accompanied his mother. It was the first time MacDonald had appeared in public since the still unsolved slayings Tuesday. MacDonald had been confined to Ft.

Bragg's Womack Army Hospital, recovering from a stab wound which pierced a lung and from other less serious injuries. The service was open only to persons on a list which MacDonald himself prepared. A dozen military policemen were in a ring around the chapel and turned away several persons without invitations. After the Mass, MacDonald was driven back to the hospital in a military vehicle. The bodies will be sent to Patchogue, N.Y., for burial.

Officials said MacDonald would remain in the hospital at least through the coming week and would not attend the burial. Meanwhile, an intensive investigation into the slayings remained wrapped in a cloak of official secrecy. Investigators planned to seal the six-room apartment at 6 a.m. Sunday, when the check for fingerprints and other clues will be complet-td. FBI agents questioned dozens of young hippie types picked up in nearby Fayetteville in following up MacDonald's account of the slayings.

MacDonald said the attackers were three men and a blonde girl who carried a candle and murmured: "Acid is groovy; Army chaplain who celebrated the Mass, Lt. Col. J. A. Peter-man.

"Capt. MacDonald controlled himself well until the end, and then he didn't want to leave," Peterman said. MacDonald limped slightly, bit his lower lip and walked with his head bowed into the John F. Kennedy Chapel at Ft. Copyright (g) Gordon mmiimm jfc4 i -J 'I i l.

Burger said Saturday the American trial system, at best, is not working well and, at worst, "tends to become a spectator sport." Burger, in a speech prepared for delivery to the American Bar Association, said multiple trial and multiple appeal cases the accused continues his "warfare" with society for 10 years or longer. The chief justice said he had examined one such case and estimated that it cost about a quarter of a million dollars. "The tragic aspect," he continued, "was the waste, and futility since every lawyer, every judge and every juror was fully convinced of the defendant's guilt from the beginning to the end." Earlier, news executive Norman E. Isaacs warned an ABA group of a growing willingness by the American people to yield freedom of the press and other fundamental freedoms. "Look hard at what is happening today and you will see more than the shadows," Isaacs said.

(AP) A temperature drop of 91 degrees was recorded by instruments on the lunar surface early Saturday during the first partial eclipse to be monitored by scientific devices on the moon. Instruments left on the moon by the Apollo 12 astronauts recorded the drop as the landing site passed through a partial shadow cast by the earth. Normal temperature on the sun side is about 250 degrees. Dr. Gary Latham of Columbia University said the temperature drop occurred in about 90 min-lites.

He said light intensity at the Apollo 12 site dropped by 40 per cent. No other significant readings or great changes were recorded, he said. Data from the instruments were automatically radioed to earth. A lunar eclipse occurs when the moon, earth and sun form an almost straight line in space, with the earth in the middle The earth blocks the sunlight, mcon.
