Cautious irst steps turn into a bounce like kids at recess By SAUL PETT Associated Press Special Correspondent They took their first steps onto the moon cautiously, like prudent boys testing the first ice of winter on a country pond. When first they walked, they walked carefully and slw-ly, leaning forward, plodding heavily like tired old cops. As they acquired confidence, they walked faster, now with a slow bounce in the one-sixth gravity of the moon. And then they ran and their stride was longer than on earth and their shoes seemed suspended off the strange lunar surface, with something of the floating quality of figures on slow motion film.

When they were still, they seemed very still, as if frozen, and they leaned forward like puppets to be at a lunar form of attention when the president spoke to them from earth. All the while, the earth was "bright and beautiful" above them. In this first incredible day of an incredible new era one needs to repeat that: the earth was above them. Neil Alden Armstrong, formerly of Wapakoneta, a town in Ohio, at state in the United States, a country on the planet earth, extended his left foot onto the moon. "That's one small step for man, one giant leap for mankind," he said The first words were fine.

History would be content Now for the scientists: "The surface is fine and powdery. It adheres like charcoal to the soles of my shoes. You go down only about an inch." And for the doctors: "There seems to be no difficulty in moving around." And for the geologists and the biologists and the others seeking the age of the solar system and the secret of life he immediately began collecting "contingency" samples of rock. "Contingency" in case he had to leave in a hurry. And Buzz Aldrin came down, the second man on the surface of the moon.

And together they walked and ran like kids at recess and then, like men with the responsibility of the ages, they went to work. r1 ii $0 a--- amet-t INDEX 8B Horses 5C 4-5B Keaslcr 8B SB Meyer 14A 7B Movie Cl'k 5B ,1 Abby Amuse.
