2 A Sunday, July 20, 1969 (Prlatthrt flrttttttrt Clifid 6A Mill Tell Us Astronauts, Any Peace Up There? Earth Dear Astronauts: As you know, all of us down here are following just about every move you make. Maybe you'd like a little fill-In on what's been going on down here. Somehow your voyage is supposed to change us. We're going to be better and try harder so we can be worthy citizens of the new lunar age. Former President Johnson, speaking exclusively on CBS, said he hoped your journey would "help to bring peace." We hate to tell you this, but so far nothing along that line seems to be occurring.

Maybe when you actually step down in the Sea of Tranquillity, the change will begin to set In. FOR THE MOMENT, the world is very much as you left it. A lot of people are looking up, but mt far enough yet. You hadn't made your first orbit, for instance, before the Pentagon moved in to put down a little peace scare that got started when Secretary of Defense Melvin R. Laird told the Senate Foreign Relations Committee that we had "turned a corner" in Vietnam.

The Pentagon said that what the secretary meant was not necessarily towards peace but towards "Vietnamization" of the war. El Salvador and Honduras ran out of gas in their Mary McGrory is a syndicated columnist writing out of Washington. war, but they've closed the airports to peacemakers from the Organization of American States. THE ARABS AND THE Israelis are still at each others' throats. You hadn't left the ground before the vice president and the majority leader of the Senate began to tangle about the next launch.

Mr. Agnew said he thought you ought to head for Mars. Mansfield said we need the money down here. The Senate went into secret session on the anti-ballistic missile system, which the administration says is "a building block for peace" and the opponents say is another step in the arms race. THE AMERICAN MEDICAL Association had to call the cops to guard its new offices in New York.

Nurses and taxi drivers in Washington are threatening to go on strike. The Biafrans and the Nigerians are not doing anything different. The biggest disappointment of all, of course, is the Soviets. In the crunch, the bear is always boorish. They just had to muscle in on your big moment, sending up Luna 15.

They think they invented space, along with everything else. Nobody knows what they're up to except to show they care more about humanity because they sent up a machine without a man. It's a concern they've never shown down here, and the Czechs ought to get a big laugh out of it. That brings us to the only suggestion we have for you. When you get up there and are picking up those rocks for your rock-box, turn them over very carefully on the off chance there might be a message under one of them.

THE SOVIETS DON'T know how to behave on earth, as we all know. Nikita Khrushchev was the one human being they've produced lately who knew how to think and talk like the rest of the world. This new crowd doesn't have the knack. It's just possible that they would like to change and stop being mean, but can't admit it through the ordinary channels. So there's just the off-chance that when Luna 15 picks up some soil, it might drop something for you to pick up.

You know those messages that criminals wriie on mirrors, "Stop me before I kill again." The Soviets are terribly self-conscious about doing the decent thing on this planet, but it could come to them on another. They could, for instance, leave a telephone number in Hanoi that we could call. Or they could offer to stop building their newest rockets if we'd quit, too. Look around for a little clue for peace up there. As we say, there's none down here.

Cheers, Mary McGrory Everything Still Fine For Moon Touchdown, Walk On the bright side of the moon, Aldrin also spotted, "a fresh white crater that looks like an impact JUL 20 1959 crater. On Monday, Armstrong and Aldrin are scheduled to blast off from the moon at 1:50 p.m., dock with the command module 60 miles above the moon at 5:30 p.m. and dump the LEM into lunar orbit at 9:30 p.m. If all goes as expected, the crew will begin its homeward journey at 1 For Moon Mail Post Office Department Saturday released this replica of postmark which Nell Armstrong or Edwin Aldrin will stamp on letter during visit to moon.

Tuesday. Apollo's Sis Was Moon Goddess In Greek Myth being there in person," Armstrong replied. As the Apollo crew crossed over the terminator, or twilight on the moon, Aldrin pointed out the landing site in the Sea of Tranquility. It was barely discernable on the television screen. "And as the moon slowly sinks in the west," Collins said as the moon's surface blackened, "Apollo 11 bids goodbye to you all." The television transmission ended at 4:30 p.m.

ALDRIN, reporting on the backside pass of the moon, said he noticed "a small black spot on the side of a crater. He said he looked at the spot through his binoculars and it appeared to be an area of about a quarter of a mile from which some lunar soil had been freshly turned over. He said it contrasted with other pits because of its freshness. NEITHER he nor mission control could explain the pit, but it is believed to be a fairly recent meterorite impact. spaceship ended its second eliptical orbit on the back side of the moon, Collins successfully fired the craft's engine for the second time and pulled the craft into a near circular orbit.

The circular orbit is necessary for recovery of the LEM during its descent should something go wrong. THE TELEVISION transmission, which started at 3:57 p.m. while the crew was 92 miles above the lunar surface, was the first view of the moon on the Apollo 11 flight. Collins said the moon appeared to be rosy tan or greenish tan depending on which window he looked out of. "The Sea of Fertility doesn't look very fertile to me," Armstrong quipped as he looked down at the barren surface.

PETE Conrad, who will command Apollo 12, watched the televised moon pass from mission control. He asked Armstrong what he thought of the moon view. "It's all the difference in watching a football game on television and From Page 1 The Apollo 11 ended its three-day coast to the moon at 1:26 p.m. Saturday, one second off schedule, when Collins braked the spaceship by firing a retro-rocket. This slowed the craft enough to let the moon's gravity pull it into an eliptical orbit.

The burning, called Lunar Orbit Insertion-1, was completed while the moon came between the crew and the earth. AS THE craft reappeared on the bright side of the moon mission control noticed one slight problem. A spokesman said one of two tanks of gaseous nitrogen used to open up ball lines so fuel can get to all LEM engines, registered a sharper pressure decrease than expected. However, the spokesman said the pressure drop was not enough to cause any problem with today's mission. A backup fuel system will be used.

"WE REMAIN very much above concern levels that would cause us any worry," the spokesman said.

He was considered the god of prophecy and the god of VATICAN CITY W) The Vatican newspaper Romano said Saturday If the conquest of space serves mankind, then it will justify the hundreds of millions of dollars spent on space programs. In a front-page editorial, Rome theologian Gino Concetti noted the argument against the space program that the money could be used Instead to feed the hungry and alleviate poverty and suffering.

But he added: "It remains to be seen whether without space feats men can be prompted to eliminate squalor and help each other." Concetti suggested space projects, such as landing men on the moon, served to inspire men to act as brothers. the embarker and disembarker. Apollo's twin sister was Artemis, the goddess of. the moon.
