Mon, July 21, 1969 B-4 THE STATE JOURNAL Laming, Michigan And What Were You Doing When Eagle LAN DSD 30,000 Boy Scouts Cheer on 'Brothers' -n-rj XT APOLLO 111 By The Associated Press They were shining hours. Americans landed on the moon and walked its rocky surface while millions of their countrymen locked their attention on television and radio sets on a July Sunday that will live in history. It was also a Sunday on SMEA OF FARRAGUT STATE PARK, Idaho (UPI) A cheer went up when the 30,000 earth-bound Boy Scouts attending the 7th National Boy Scout Jamboree learned that astronauts Neil Armstrong and Edwin E. Ald-rin both scouts, had landed safely on the moon. On thousands of transistor radios and a few portable television sets, the scouts closely followed the historic landing and later the walk on the surface of the moon.

Even those without radios and television sets heard about the landing almost immedi- a 1 as the news swept through the jamboree. "Neil Armstrong makes me feel 10 feet tall," said scoot Rick Slunaker, son of Mr. and Mrs. R. W.

Slunaker, E. N. BotheU, when he saw the successful landing. NEW START Eagle scout Roger Armstrong, of Ojai, saw the landing as "the opening door to man getting a new start elsewhere and a new chance. He blew it here on earth with smog and everything.

Now he may be able to try again and maybe profit by his mistakes." THANQUILUTY UXf) ft TRANQUILLITY At Kill Devil Hill, N.C., where Orville and Wilbur Wright made man's first powered flight 63 years ago, television screens were installed to relay pictures of man's first landing on the moon. Indians at the Pottawatomie Pow-Wow in Mayetta, broke into a victory dance to celebrate the moon landing. In Iowa, where a July evening normally finds farmers sitting on their porches and listening to the corn grow, thousands were inside, in front of TV sets. Only two areas of Alaska, Anchorage and Ketchikan, were able to receive live television coverage Anchorage with military equipment brought in to pick up satellite signals and Ketchikan by picking up Canadian signals. WATER TO WASTE Officials of the light, gas and water division at Memphis, said not a drop of water was used in a seven-minute span starting at 3:14 p.m.

Sunday and, with an alarming buildup of pressure, all five of the city's pumping stations were closed for a time. In Buckskin Joe, a tourist village outside of Canon City, during a make-believe gunfight which follows the make-believe hanging, the actors took advantage of the announcement of the moon landing to blow the smoke from their busy revolvers. Niagara Falls, a favorite tourist spot, had far fewer than the normal number of Sunday visitors. Near Sonora, several hundred nude hippies swam unmolested in mountain creeks on the slopes of the Sierra Nevada. The sheriffs office said it was understaffed because of "sick calls" and couldn't track down the skinny dippers.

In Bend, Phil F. Bor-gan, suggested the astronauts sell the rocks they pick up on the moon and they might pay for the entire mission. Mrs. Patrick Dial of Seattle gave birth to a son just as Eagle was touching down and named her newborn Neil Armstrong Dial. Philadelphian William B.

LANDING AREA UPI chart spots approximate site (dotted lines) where America's Apol-lo-ll spacecraft made its historic landing on the lunar surface Sunday. Looking at the moon from earth, the Apollo-11 is a fraction above the equator and roughly in the middle of the right-hand half.

The base is pinpointed by NASA as 0.799 degrees north latitude and 23.6 degrees west longitude. (UPI Telephoto) 1 NASA Is Filmed By NASA 'Heavens Have Become Man's World9 BARSTOW, Calif. (AP) Nixon Talks With Men on Moon which hippies romped nude in a California stream, American GIs fought on in Vietnam, babies were born, highways took their toll, cheers rose from excited crowds, a Wyoming woman laughed uncontrollably, Indians broke into a victory dance. For others, there were periods of reflection and prayer. In her home at Worcester, the widow of rocket pioneer Robert H.

Goddard sat alone and watched television as man stepped on the moon for the first time. PREFERS PRIVACY When a newsman phoned she said, "I'm sorry I'd rather be by myself you understand." A soft rain fell at Auburn, where Goddard fired his first liquid fueled rocket in 1926. In New York, some 3,000 people watched the moon landing at a huge television screen at Kennedy International Air-port. Hundreds crowded in front of another big screen at the Time-Life Building across from Radio City Music Hall. An estimated 4,000 watched the three huge TV screens erected in Central Park.

Across the nation, in Anaheim, 80 members of the Soviet Union's track and field team saw the moon landing on Disneyland TV screen. In Burbank, an ice cream company, moments after Neil A. Armstrong first stepped on the moon, started dishing out a new flavor called Lunar Cheese Cake. ESCAPE FAILED Trying to "spread his wings," like the lunar module Eagle, a prisoner at the Nevada State Prison, Carson City, tried to scale the fence shortly before Eagle landed on the moon. He stopped after two warning shots by guards.

In the Nevada gaming cities of Las Vegas and Reno, gamblers were asked to halt the action briefly. In Las Vegas, a stripper at the Silver Slipper Casino peeled a simulated space suit, and at Reno's Har-rah's Club, they pushed a new drink, the Moonshot Cocktail. The mountain campgrounds of Montana were jammed with people trying to escape the 90-degree heat of the lowlands; most of those with radios listened to news of the Apollo 11 mission. In Philadelphia, a huge crowd gathered in front of historic Independence Hall and cheered when Eagle reached the moon's surface.

The President answered: I thank you very much. All of us look forward to seeing you on the (recovery ship) Hornet on Thursday. Armstrong answered: Thank you. Light Like photographers around the world, U.S. space agency took photographs of man's first steps on the moon off a television screen.

But the National Aeronautics and Space Administration pictures were much clearer. They were taken off a special monitor at the Apollo tracking station at the Goldstone Communications Complex 50 miles north of here while the transmission was being converted for relay over commercial television. The spokesman said NASA used a still camera whose shutter was synchronized to the scan rate of a special monitor screen. Home television was less clear because conversion to its faster scan rate leaves small white bars between the picture lines. An estimated 500 pictures were taken at Goldstone.

"Buzz" Aldrin, as they stood on the surface of the moon: Neil and Buzz, I am talking to you by telephone from the Oval Room at the White House. This certainly has to be the most historic telephone call ever made from the White House.

Cans WASHINGTON (AP) The number of live births at military hospitals has declined 23 per cent since the Defense Department in 1963 started giving birth control information, pills and devices to service wives, the Armed Forces Journal said. "Without the help of the family planning program, military families would have had close to 200,000 more children in the past six years" with obstetrical costs alone reaching an estimated $76.4 million, the independent weekly said in a copyrighted article.

Statistics indicate that the fertility rate of military families has declined from 218 live births a year per thousand wives to a low of 158 live births for calendar year 1968, the Journal said.

A few blocks away, pregame ceremonies before an American League baseball game between the hometown Pilots and the Minnesota Twins were interrupted by an announcement of the moon landing. The fans cheered, stood up and sang "America the Beautiful." A doubleheader between the Chicago Cubs and Phillies in Philadelphia also was interrupted for an announcement of the moon exploit. The fans cheered, offered a silent prayer and sang "God Bless America." At Meriden, a man called the Morning Record and complained he couldn't find a single baseball game on radio or television, ending a five-minute harangue that the moon landing was "a lot of nonsense." In San Quentin Prison, Sir-han Bishara Sirhan, the convicted slayer of Sen. Robert F. Kennedy, watched the televised account of the moon landing in his death row cell.

In the Tennessee State Prison at Nashville, James Earl Ray, the convicted assassin of Dr. Martin Luther King did not see the moon landing. There is no television in his maximum security cell. Only 4,000 persons took the Kennedy Space Center tour at Cape Kennedy, where an estimated crowd of one million were on hand when the Apollo 11 blasted off last Wednesday. Barbara Guilford, a 29-year-old Cheyenne, schoolteacher, laughed and was exhiliarated and started laughing," she said.

"I couldn't understand exactly what had transpired technically, but I was excited over the fact that man had made it to the moon. I laughed for five minutes." In Honolulu. Fred Kanishiro ordered drinks on the house at his Columbia Inn and toasted the Apollo 11 astronauts: "Hip, hip. hooray." "Banzai! Banzai! his customers chanted.
