(AP) The Apollo 14 moon samples are more complex, possibly older and certainly possess a more complicated history than any moon rocks brought to earth before, scientist said Friday. Dr. Robin Brett, chief of chemistry at the Manned Spacecraft Center, told newsmen the rocks differ in chemistry, composition and structure from the samples of Apollo 11 and Apollo 12. "Some are as tough as building stones," he said. Others crumble between the fingers.

The biggest surprise, he said, was the large number of fragmented rocks. Some, said Brett, were formed from fragments of earlier rocks, which themselves were formed frafments of still earlier ones. "It's sort of like a wheel within a wheel within a wheel," he said. "This just indicates their extremely complicated history." Dr. Paul Gast, chief of planetary sciences at the center said the Apollo 14 samples "have the characteristics of what we expected to find" in the mountainous Fra Mauro area where Apollo 14 landed last month.

Previous landings had been an plains. "The chances of finding 4.6 billion-year-old material among the samples appears to be very he said. Scientists believe a rock that old would date from the very formation of the moon and perhaps of the solar system.

The man did not speak English clearly and took out two fifty dollar bills and tried to tell her what he wanted, she said.

(AP) The massive forest fire which has burned out of control since early Monday, destroying 29,000 acres of Dare County Woodland, is now under control, according to Don Grady of the North Carolina Forest Service unit at Stumpy Point, N.C. The fire official said Friday that the heavy rain mixed with snow which feel through the night and morning extinguished surface fires. A number of the firefighters were released Friday, but a crew is still on the scene to extinguish the groundfires as soon as the weather breaks. Grady explained that in such swampy terrain a fire can survive for days or weeks. The five-day-old fire was started Monday when an air force jet dropped a practice bomb on the Dare County Gunnery Range.

The bomb started a grass fire that was fanned by 40 miles per hour winds and grew until it threatened the fishing village of Stumpy Point on Pamlico Sound. A spokesman for Seymour Johnson Air Force Base in Goldsboro, N.C. which operates the range, said that an Air Force claims officer was assigned to the case Thursday. The claims officer is charged with determining how much money should be paid to the Westvaco owner of most of the blackened timberland. Westvaco officials estimate that over 28.000 acres of pine were destroyed.
