"If they're lucky they might come down right on top of it," says John Mayer, chief of the Manned Spacecraft 's mission planning and analysis i i i "but I suspect that 'r going to come down were several reasons why Armstrong and Aldrin were off course, but the major one was that they made a few small unscheduled maneuvers in lunar orbit that started them out for the moon about three seconds later than they should have. While three seconds sounds small to mean anything, the craft descends toward he moon's surface at about one mile a second--meaning that a hree second delay in descent results in a three-mile mistake navigation. Apollo planners hope they can make up all of this three-mile error on Apollo but there are some other navigational obstacles they don't expect to hurdle before next spring, at the earliest. The major unknown is still the shape of the moon, which puts liltle unpredictable wiggles into a spacecraft's path around the moon that meant an error of at least a mile on the course of Apollo 11.

'The acls like it's a near-shaped thing," says Mayer, "but maybe it's a pear-shaped thine with a big welt around the middle. Whatever it is," he ROCS on, "we're still trying lo understand it, and mv guess is it will be a year before we really comprehend it." Apollo officials have worked up a pair of contingency plans to help future crews make more precise landings on the moon. Apol'o 12 astronauts Pete Con-ad and Alan Bean will probably descend to the moon in November a faster than the crew of Apollo 11 did. Since the landing craft burns up fuel to help slow it down, a I more ranid descent means the Icrcw of Apollo 12 will have a little more fuel left (about seven or eight seconds) at the end of their when they are about 500 feet above the surface of the moon. This will let Conrad maneuver his 'hat much longer to a landing site.

i I it could come later, i plans right now are to fly the a craft and landing craft of Apollo 13 docked together to an altitude only nine miles from the moon-using the command craft's engine (and fuel) for the propulsion. IAIXATOMY OF MURDERS Police Seek Link In Mass Slaying A city has many faces, the faces of Its people, and behind each face Is a story. Here Is a profile In drawing and words, one of a scries through which yon may meet interesting Individuals. Their features, together with yours, make up the face of San Antonio. CYNTHIA MOYA, 17, instructor at the Silva Mind Control Institute of San Antonio, has attained the level of a true clairvoyant, according to institute founder SUva.

Miss Moya says anyone may become a psychic through mind control. However, there are different levels of ability she says. Sho claims she has never failed to correctly analyze human problems, find lost articles or perform other feats of ESP. Miss Moya, a former student at St. Teresa's Academy, has become almost a straight student by "tapping the teacher's mind," she says.

According to the institute's brochure, the mind collects valuable bits and pieces of information, but uncontrolled falls' to use them. The controlled mind sorts, regulates, and uses Its information in the most constructive way, it also claims. Among courses taught by the intense young miss is the art-of controlled relaxation in which a person may --within seconds--reach a level of profound insight in which the mind achieves extra-ordinary ability to control vitality and energy for the body, as well as aid in the solut'on nf problems without stress or strain, she said. The general self improvement course also taught by Miss Moya, deals with expanded consciousness, improved image creation, and visualization as part of the process for enhancing creativity she claims. This 12-hour course also develops individual methods of control of pain and control, developmentor elimination of habits.

Another course delves Into ESP with the statement that "it Is well known that the solution of many major problems and development of new ideas is due to the extension of controlled awaremess into the subconscious. This 20 hour course enables a student to exercise to a maximum his intuitive potential, Miss Moya says. She has "found" all sorts of lost articles for friends and recently put her uncanny ability to work to successfully locate the site of an off shore oil well. She once told the parents of a runaway youth that he could be found in San Francisco. The 17 year old boy was later located in the Bay City.

The boy and his parents were total strangers to her, Miss Moya's hobbies include the piano, guitar, organ, singing, swimming and tennis. She often serves as organist at weddings at St Cecilia's Church, and plays the guitar at Sunday mass. She plans to attend San Antonio College where she will major in psychology. Miss Moya resides at 339 Ada St. with her her parents, Mr.

BvMALTOKGERSON LOS ANGELES TIMCJ HEWS SEKVICE LOS ANGELES-Cielo Drive, scene of the crime, ends in a cul de sac. A wire gate blocks the road. Beyond it i the home a Tite shared with her husband, Roman Polanski At the side of the road, on a waist-high pipe, is a silver button.

On night of Aug. 8-9, someone SUss Tate pressed that silver button. The gate open electrically. The home, secluded and vulnerable, was open--ready to be come a killing ground. BY DAWN, five persons lay dead--stabbed and in a mass murder of frightening barbarity.

Police believe a whoever did it knew the street, the silver button, the home, the people in t. What motive, police are seek-J ing to learn, would a killer (or Cillers) have in murdering these 'ive people? Sharon Tate. She was 26, a few weeks from the birth of her first child. She was strikingly beautiful, yet insecure, unsure, often lonely. She and film director Polanski were called members of the jet set he "beautiful people;" neigh bors called them "rich hippies' and said the scene of the crime: "live a die freaky." Jay Scoring.

But, according to an in- 'ormant being guarded by po lice, she became the mistress Frokowsky, financed his labit and became increasingly fascinated with black magic, Steven Parent.

Two weeks before the mur ders 18-year-old Steven Parent gave a ride to William E. Gar caretaker of the Tate-Polanski home, and Garretson hac asked him to come Paren ater did--and died in the seat his car. Police have said the murders were committed by who crime, cutting lie telephone lines before entering the property. It was learned Saturday thai the Los Angeles Police Department had asked the Royal Canadian Mounted Police in Vancouver to watch for four suspectec larcotics violators. It is be- ieved that the four are wanted for connection with the Tale-murder case.

OFFICERS A ready yet to disclose, many; ol the crime itself.

To this home' several people were invited to a party Friday, Aug. 8. How a came is only to the police--or. perhaps, the 1 a r. Polanski was in London.

At 11:30 or 11:45, Parent came to see Gairetson. After a short visit he called a friend and said he was going to visit the friend. About 12:15 a.m. Parent depart- Parent had to walk from one end of the property to the other to get to his father's 1966 Rambler parked near the front gate. He got to it--but no farther.

WE WAS FOUND shot in. the body and head, slumped behind the 'wheel, the car in drive, the brake off, the ignition off. A neighbor remembers hearing shot-like sounds about midnight. Garretson, cleared of suspicion murder after several days in custody, told police he was listening to his stereo in the guest house and didn't hear a Wng. Miss Tate, In a bra and panties, was found stabbed to death -the victim of 12 to 15 stab wounds--in the living room.

A nylwi wid was looped wound her neck, thrown over a beam in the higo-ceilinged living room, and the other end around Sebring's neck. He was on his back, 1 shot and stabbed, a hood--possibly a from a towel--over bis head. A vast splattering of was at the front door, with Frokowsky's body, stabbed, shot and beaten, lying on a lawn nearby, and Miss Folger's 100 feet away, stabbed to death. He was fully clothed; she was in 'a nightgown. Two informants have told police they believe Frokowsky and Miss Folger were the targets, a of their involvement with narcotics.

But Steve a a Hollywood writer who was a friend of the Polanslds, believes someone who was brought to the house by Frokowsky and Miss went berserk under hallucinogenic drugs and perpetrated the crimes. "I think it was someone they brought in who turned homicidal something like LSD," Brandt says. "A person who is suicidal tries to commit suicide under LSD; a who is iiomk-idal may turn homicidal. I believe that's what happened." 9 5 CD VI 0 -a 0 JJ 9: o' TI 5 'f 4- i 8 5 fD 3 -r 3 3 3-lflg- 3. 3 o- 3 3 3- a 1 2 8 1 it- is fli CD (A 3d UO 3.
