ORLANDO EVENING STAR Final Stocks ACTION CENTER OF FLORIDA Page 4C 93rd Year -Number 174 Classified GA Cents 0 1969 Sentinel Star Company 68 Pages Astronauts Aboard Ship Wright Warrant By PEGGY POOR Staff Writer Circuit Court Judge Claude R. Edwards in a statement to the press today made a blistering attack on the warrant issued to search the home of Kenneth Ray Wright, accused of murdering 8-yearold Camellia Jo Hand. "I was shocked to find that both the affidavit on which the warrant was based and the search warrant itself specifically referred to a 'Barlow knife' and to nothing else," the statement said. nection with denial of a defense motion to suppress state ents taken from Wright April 17 and to deny in part a motion to suppress evidence seized under the search warrant. Judge Edwards denied the first on grounds that a suitable "Miranda warning" of constitutional rights had been given in advance as now required under recent controversial Supreme Court rulings.

Sanford Upset By Price IT WAS made in con- Sanford officials today were voicing concern about the federal government wanting $800,000 for 150 acres of airport property before it would give the city deed to it. The city had hoped to get the property back for $1 since it gave the land to the federal government in the first place. GENERAL Services Administration (GSA) officials have disagreed with Federal Aviation Administration officials that the entire airport complex of 1,600 acres should be given back to Sanford as revenue producing land for support of the airport. Under that classification the land would be given free, but, GSA calls the 150 acres containing all the valuable buildings as industrial and the city should pay the government $800,000 for it. City Manager Pete Knowles flying to Washington Sunday to see if GSA would consider reclassifying the property.

If they won't, then the land will be sold. "If the city buys it it becomes a burden on the taxpayer," Knowles said. SANFORD originally gave the property to the Navy as a training base, but failed to include a reverter clause in the lease deeding the land back to Sanford when the government finished with it. Under those circumstances GSA assumed responsibility for disposing of the property for monetary consideration on the 150 acres it terms industrial. In denying only part of the second motion Judge Edwards said, "After so many law officers worked so hard for about a month on this case, it is a shame that the officers who secured and executed the search warrant for Wright's home did not seek from the issuing judge a warrant broad enough to include certain items which they seized improperly at Wright's home.

"WHEN THE warrant was secured and served, the officers certainly had good cause to believe that items other than Barlow knives might have been used to commit this crime and they knew they might Judge Edwards BULLETINS Surtax Extended WASHINGTON (UPI) The House Ways and Means Committee approved legislation today to keep the income surtax alive through at least Aug. 15. There were indications a Senate deadlock on tending the tax might be ready to break. Launch Delayed CAPE KENNEDY (P) The space agency today postponed for another 24 hours plans to orbit a new comme cial communications satellite over the Atlantic. Russian On Moon? ABOARD USS HORNET (P) The head of the U.

S. space agency believes Russians will have cosmonauts on the moon "sometime in the next 18 months perhaps sooner than most people think." McCarthy To Quit MINNEAPOLIS, Minn. (UPI) Sen.

"Regardless of the guilt or innocence of the accused and regardless of the value of the evidence suppressed, the officers who obtained and executed the warrant then believed and still believe that some of the suppressed items have some evidentiary value." According to testimony given when the motions were made, former County Solicitor Rom Powell drew up the warrant which was signed by Circuit Court Judge Richard Cooper. SGT. William G.

Warren of the Orlando police testified scissors, razor blades, knives and a magnetic tape had been taken from the Wright house. Lt. Richard Overman of the Orange County Sheriff's Department said the magnetic tape had been found to have no evidentiary value in any sense. Wright's trial for first degree murder is set for Sept. 8 at Ft.

Meyers. Seminole Legal Fee Pondered By DON MEITIN Staff Writer Rep. E. Pope "Sandy" Bassett, Orange-Seminole legislative delegation secretary, Thursday took exception to the allocation of $1 from Seminole County Commission for legal expenses of the delegation. Get suppose legally they've met the letter of the law," said Bassett.

"But let's see how far one dollar will go when it comes time to prepare legal bills to present to the legislature." CARTER Bradford, legal representative for both Orange and Seminole counties, had recommended Seminole County pay $1,500 as its share for legal consultation when the legislature meets. Instead, Seminole commissioners offered the $1 token fee. Previously Orange County had footed the legal tab for both counties. But Bradford had suggested that Seminole County pay at least one-quarter of the cost of legal representation which he figures amounts to $1,500. "I DON'T know what their motivation is," Bassett said, talking about the one buck offered by Seminole County, "I wasn't there for the debate on it." Bassett said he doesn't see how Seminole County could expect any help by kicking in only one dollar for legal representation at the state capital.

Bradford said he didn't understand either, but added There's only one Republican on the county commission in Seminole County." ABOARD USS HORNET (P) The men who opened the Moon Age returned to their home planet today, received a chemical bath before the eyes of the world and were hoisted aboard this carrier for a welcome from President Nixon, Neil A. Armstrong, Edwin E. Aldrin Jr. and Michael Collins steered their Apollo 11 spaceship to a near-pinpoint landing in the Pacific Ocean nine miles from this recovery THEY HIT the warm Polynesian waters at 12:50 p.m. EDT, climaxing an -day voyage of discovery in which two men walked the surface of the moon for the first time.

The astronauts immediately were placed behind a biological barrier on the remote chance they brought home lunar bacterla that could harm life on earth. Before exiting the ship into a wave-tossed raft they donned special green biological suits with a mask that prevented them from exhaling their breath into the air. IN THE raft, a frogman wearing a biological suit sprayed them with a disinfectant and then rubbed each man vigorously with a solution similar to a washday bleach. They sealed the spaceship hatch and rubbed it with the chemical. The ship was not close enough for television to record the landing.

But it steamed near enough for TV viewers around the world to view the rubdown. Armstrong, Aldrin and Collins were lifted oneby-one into a helicopter which deposited them on the deck of the carrier at 1:57 p.m. EDT, one hour and seven minutes after splashdown. NIXON WATCHED from the bridge as the helicopter approached. The ship's band 1 played "Columbia, the Gem of the Ocean." Columbia was the name the astronauts gave their command ship.

Nixon clapped and waved as the helicopter touched the deck, and hundreds of sailors cheered the returning moon heroes. A SMALL truck hooked on to the chopper and pulled it, with the astronauts inside, to an elevator, which lowered them to the hangar deck. There, the astronauts transferred into a 35-foot trailer where they will stay during a seaair trip to the Manned Spacecraft Center, Houston, Tex. There they face 16 days additional quarantine. Welcoming them to the trailer were Dr.

William Carpentier, NASA. physician, and John Hirasaki, NASA engineer, both of whom volunteered to be isolated with the astronauts. ARMSTRONG, ALDRIN and Collins looked like strangers from another world as they stepped off the helicopter and walked Central Floridians Help Apollo Pickup SPACE CENTER, Houston Two Central Floridians played important roles today in the operation to rescue the Apollo 11 astronauts from the Pacific Ocean. Lt. Cmdr.

Donald G. Richmond of Orlando piloted the One" helicopter which dropped frogmen into the ocean. And one of the frogmen aboard the helicopter was Petty Officer Third Class Mitchell L. Bucklew of Sanford. A the 12 steps to the quarantine trailer.

They waved to acknowledge the cheers and applause of the NASA and Navy personnel on board. In mission control center in Houston, scores of persons broke out small American flags. On the display board were flashed President John F. Kennedy's words of May 25, 1961, when he pledged this country to land men on the moon in this decade and return them safely to earth. For the first time in the Apollo program, n.

the astronauts took manual action to change their landing site. This became neceswhen a threat of thunderstorms forced ofsary, ficials to shift the landing 250 miles to the east. Armstrong changed the guidance computer so that Apollo 11 dug a little deeper into the atmosphere, enabling it to shoot for the new touchdown zone, 950 miles southwest of Hawaii. THREE TO SIX FOOT waves turned the spaceship upside down after it landed. The astronauts righted it in 11 minutes by inflating flotation bags.

Planes and helicopters were overhead in minutes and dropped frogmen into the water. "Our condition is all three excellent. Take your time," Collins told the swimmers. Dark, hazy skies prevented Nixon and others on the ship from seeing the splashdown. Only a faint flash of light in the southern sky as dawn broke heralded the arrival.

AS THE carrier steamed toward the bob bing spaceship, one of the frogmen, Navy Lt. Clancey Hatleberg, 25, of Chippewa Falls, climbed into a rubber raft. He wore a pea green biological suit with a gas mask-like face device. He opened the hatch, tossed in three garments like his own, nicknamed BIG suits, and closed the hatch. BIG means biological isolation garments.

Hatleberg then sprayed the hatch area with an iodized disinfectant to kill possible germs. The other frogmen backed away from the craft, moving upwind to avoid possible bugs. THIRTY FIVE minutes after landing, Aldrin, followed by Armstrong and Collins, stepped into the orange rubber raft in their strange suits. With Hatleberg's help they sprayed a disinfectant on their suits. Using big mittens, they rubbed it in -front, back, under the arms, top of the head, feet.

The disinfectant was sodium hypochlorate, a chemical familiar to housewives as a washday bleach. THE ASTRONAUTS helped the frogman scrub the Apollo 11 hatch and then it was sprayed again and rubbed down. Inside the spaceship were the precious bits of lunar rocks that Armstrong and Aldrin collected on the moon Sunday.
