(AP) Presi dent Kennedy wound up an exhaustive two-day tour of space installations Wednesday insisting that this nation can't afford to be anything less than first in space.

I Rarely in two days has any nonscientist had so much detailed and complicated information thrown at him in such unremitting doses. GROGGY BUT PLEASED The President finished the high-level cram course a bit groggy, but pleased. Possibly the highlight of the trip came earlier Wednesday in Houston when he got a first-hand demonstration of how the moon trip may be made. "We must be bold and daring and unflinching," Kennedy Whereupon he was taken on a guided tour by five of the nation's astronauts, who have bold, daring, and unflinching plans for getting a U.S.

Patton, president of Republic Steel, spoke for the in dustry before the Senate Judiciary Committee, which is considering whether to support a contempt of Congress move against executives of four firms which refused to supply the data. He got a sympathetic response from several of the senators.

AIMED AT OTHERS i Sens. John L. McClellan, D-Ark. Sam J. Ervin and James O.

Eastland, suggested the steel industry is being singled out unfairly and questioned whether any legislative purpose could be served by producing figures which might help the steelmakers' competitors. McClellan wondered whether it would not be appropriate to require the aluminum, glass, paper and other industries to sub mit cost data also if the government is going to get into this field. But Sen. Estes Kefauver, leading the fight to pry the figures from the steel executives. insisted they are needed in relation to various measures his Antitrust subcommittee is considering.

He said the subcommittee has submitted a list of pending bills it regards as relevant to the data it has subpoenaed. APPEAR IN PRINT Sen. Hugh Scott, said he had little faith in the subcommittee's device for keeping any one steel company's figures from be ing made public by poolina them in the form of averages. If the specific information is submitted. it would appear in some newspa per column within two weeks, he said.

"There is no secrecy in Washington," he added. Kefauver replied that Scott had done his subcommittee a grave injustice by that remark. In the past, he said, it has obtained cost data from the bread Industry and also from General Motors and, "I've never seen it in any column." Patton said regardless of the form used, he is fearful that statisticians for steel industry competitors could figure out the data for each company.

Carter Hardwick, managing di rector of WSFA-TV, said Wednesday, "We are delighted that the spontaneous support by thou sands upon thousands of viewers throughout central and south Alabama opposing the FCCs ef fort to take away Montgomery's only VHF television assignment has now resulted in the commission's decision to make no change." The commission said it decided to drop the "deintermixture move because of a new law requiring that television sets made for interstate shipment be capable of receiving both VHF and UHF transmission.

Carl E. Sanders apparently won the governorship of Georgia Wednesday in a bold bid against former Gov. Marvin Griffin. Sanders, 38, took the lead when counting of votes in the Democratic primary election started and added to it as the night wore on. At midnight he held a lead of well over 100,000 and only a virtual sweep of the votes in unreporting rural counties could save Griffin.

Sanders is a moderate on ra cial issues. Griffin an all-out segregationist. Sanders claimed victory in the governor's race and pledged to serve all of the people of Georgia during the next four years. GRrFFTN SECLUDED "I never count my chickens be fore they are hatched," he said. An Associated Press tabulation showed Sanders with 302,406 votes to 165,949 for Griffin.

The returns were from 963 of the state's 1,826 precincts. Three other candidates had a few thousand votes each. Sanders went to the roof garden of another hotel at midnight and said a few words to more than 800 supporters who went wild. Sanders smiled broadly but said only: "We have a substantial lead; let's hold it." At that time returns from 897 of 1,826 precincts showed Sanders with 294,816 vote end Grif fin with 156,880. Mrs.

Grace Wilkey Thomas had 6,408, Hoke O'Kelley 4,157, and Cecil L. Lang-ham 1,888. The returns were from 133 of Georgia's 159 counties. 10 LARGEST COUNTIES A sweep of the ballots in the state's 10 largest counties built up a tremendous margin for Sanders. He carried populous Fulton (At lanta) County by more than 000 votes.

Among the other big city coun ties giving Sanders a large margin were Chatham, Muscogee and Bibb. He also carried Dougherty, scene of racial disturbances for months, by the close margin of 6,174 to 5,865. 3ut more inportant to the sena tor's cause was the fact that he (See GEORGIA, Page 2A) Bomber Crash Takes Nine Lives SEAL BEACH, Calif. (AP)-A Navy P2V Neptune patrol bomber with nine aboard crashed in flames Wednesday night at the naval ammunition and net depot here. The Navy said apparently all aboard died.

The plane, powered by two propeller-driven engines and two jet engines, crashed in a field used for storing empty ammunition crates. The Navy withheld identification of the dead. Soon after the bomber took off from the nearby Los Alamitos Naval Air Station, one of its engines burst into flames.

Anti-Castro Group Plans Big Operation In 20 Days By Wallace By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS George Wallace Wednesday pictured incoming members of legislature as men willing to "stand up strong" with him in his defiance of fed' eral integration threats. Wallace told a group of Demo' cratic nominees for the State Senate: "Members of the Senate I have talked to are in agreement on the basic problems we face.
