DELONG SPACE CENTER, Houston (UPI)---For Apollo 10's astronauts, the easy part was over today. Commander Thomas P.

Stafford and crewmen John W. Young and Eugene A. Cernan slept late as they finished their third day in space. They were less than 20,000 miles from the moon, their destination for 61 dangerous hours of scouting the terrain. The three astronauts, hurtling faster and faster in the grip of lunar gravity, were to pass behind the moon at 2:37 p.m.

MDT. They then fire a blast of their rocket engine to drop into orbit around it at 2:45 p.m. Their mission was to spend days circling the moon in the Apollo spacecraft nicknamed "Charlie Stafford Cernan will cut loose Thursday in the "Snoopy" landing machine and skim twice within 10 miles of the lunar surface, carefully studying possible landing sites for Apollo 11 which hopes to touch down on the lunar surface in July. At 11:20 a.m. EDT, Apollo 10 was 16,123 miles from the moon and more than 230,000 miles from earth, closing on the moon at 2,757 mph.

Cerman will fly the lunar landing craft to within 50,000 feet of the moon's crust.

Cong Tries To Split Peace Talks By GEORGE SIBERA PARIS (UPI)-Allied officials said today the Communists were trying to split the United States and South Vietnamese delegations at the Paris talks by making the most of their differing approaches to a settlement. Xuan Thuy, chief North Vietnamese negotiator at the talks, said Tuesday U.S. and South Vietnamese methods differed. "Given the difficulties the United States is meeting in the war, it is trying to find methods of its own to overcome them," he told a press club luncheon. "At the same time, Saigon would like the United States to adopt the methods of Saigon." "The Communists are still trying to split the United States and South Vietnam," said an Allied official.

Herald Kennedy: Spare Life Of Sirhan 21, 1969 By JACK V. FOX LOS ANGELES (UPI)-Sen. Edward M. Kennedy asked the court today to spare the life of Sirhan B. Sirhan for the murder of his brother, Robert F.

Kennedy. A letter from Sen. Kennedy to the Los Angeles district attorney was presented to Superior Court Judge Herberg V. Walker in the courtroom shortly before the judge was to pass formal senetnce on the 25- year-old Arab immigrant whose death in the gas chamber was decreed by a jury which convicted him of the assassination. Walker has the constitutional authority to reduce the sentence to life if he wishes.

The last of the Kennedy brothers wrote that "my brother was a man of love and sentiment and compassion. He would not have wanted his death to be a cause for taking of another life. "You may recall his pleas when he learned of the death of Martin Luther King. "He said that 'what we need in the United States is not division; what we need in the United States is not hatred; what we need in the United States is not violence or lawlessness, but love of wisdom and compassion toward one another'." Kennedy in the handwritten letter, said that he realized that many other considerations fell within the responsibility of the district attorney and that of the court. "But kind of man my brother "was is pertinent we believe it should be weighed in balance on the side of compassion, mercy and God's gift of life itself." Dist.

Atty. Evelle J. Younger was asked what effect the letter might have on the state's stand toward the penalty. Younger said that it was a decision for the judge but that the district attorney's office would point out that the recommendation of the jury was the penalty. Sirhan entered the courtroom today smoking a big cigar, smiling and appearing very casual on what may be his last appearance in court.

He wore an open-collared blue shirt and chatted in an animated fashion with his attorneys. Judge Walker read the Kennedy letter silently to himself on the bench but did not immediately disclose its contents. Instead he instructed chief defense counsel Grant B. Cooper to proceed with his arguments for a new trial.

Williams wrote William T. Gossett, ABA president, requesting the ruling in connection with Douglas' acceptance of an annual fee from a foundation with some members, Williams charged, who "have close relationship with the Las Vegas gambling industry."

Williams said Douglas had been on the payroll of the Parvin Foundation at a salary of $12,000 a year and added that the principals of the foundation had been "the subject of investigation by various agencies of the government, including the Department of Justice."

Administration officials described as unfounded the speculation Thieu was surprised by the length to which Nixon went in describing the new American flexibility and that as a result a deep division between Washington and Saigon had developed. Diplomatic sources indicated Thieu was somewhat concerned over passages in the May 14 White House address that hint at the creation of a coalition government in Saigon, neutrali(See NIXON WILL Page 4) the Dr. Carlos N.
