Scott, Irwin and Alfred M. Wordcn rocketed into moon orbit earlier using a precise manual control on the spaceship's main rocket engine and were awestruck then by the view rising before them of the moon's riountains, plains and craters. CONQUER PROBLEMS The spacemen had completed a jfurney from earth to the vicinity of the moon after conquering a series of irritating, but never serious problems that plagued the flight almost from the start Monday. Scott's first description after he and his crewmates had confirmed the achievement of lunar orbit was that the sights were "absolutely mind boggling." The low orbit afforded an even better view of the stark lunar features. "I tell you it's spectacular when you can see the central peak of Tsiolkovky before you see the rim," he said, referring to a mejor crater on the moon's backside.

"It sure looks like we're looking up at some of those fellows" said Scott, refer-ing to the mountains. "Seems like we're skimming below them sometimes." Behind the moon and out of touch with Mission Control, the astronauts fired the rocket engine a second time-this time on computer-to drop their original 195-by-67-mile orbit to a low of 57,000 feet, only about 42,000 feet above the towering lunar peaks. To go into moon orbit, the spacemen had performed a perfect rocket burn using a new firing method which required split-second rr anual control of the engine. Minutes later they were passing over the planned landing site. "We're approaching the Apennine Mountains and that is indeed a spectacular sight," sa Scott.

"It's just unreal. The mountains came up ont of the ocean (flat plain) and it's just unbelievable." ALMOST OVERWHELMED "As we loc at all of this after all the many months of studying the moon," said Scott, "it's alnost overwhelming," The astronauts were flying over parts of the moon before seen from such a close distance. Scott said at another point they were flying over Mare Crisium, the so-called Sea of Crisis, and said it looked like a desert with different shades of sand. "The variation is from white to gray," said Scott, who did most of the description. "It looks like a great desert across which we've had a great dust storm.

All over Crisium you can see these streaks which are the result of some kind of impacts." Worden said he saw craters "which look like there might have been some dark material which slid down one wall." Travis Jury Questions Trio On Quick Profits AUSTIN (AP) The Travis County grand jury questioned three profiteers Thursday in the Texas stock scandal and learned that former Atty. Gen. Waggoner Carr's law partner is willing to testify next Tuesday. State Democratic Chairman Elmer Baum and two aides of House Speaker Gus Mutscher, Rush McGinty and Sonny Schulte, testified behind closed doors about their quick profits in National Bankers Life Insurance Co. stock in 1969.

The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission alleges that stock was manipulated to influence passage of two banking bills by a special session of the legislature in 1969. Tornado Injures Six Persons; Ruins Trailers DEER PARK, Tex. (AP) A tornado struck a trailer park here Thursday afternoon, injuring six persons and destroying two trailer homes. The Department of Public Safety said the twister struck around 4:15 p.m.

along Durant Street in this Houston suburb. The injured, all unidentified immediately, were taken to two hospitals for treatment. Deer Park Police Sgt. Martin Perkins said the twister swept through the trailer park in the south part of town, demolished the two trailers and blew six more off their foundations. Minor damage was reported to several homes in the area.

None of the injured were believed seriously hurt. The SEC filed suit against 28 individuals and firms in the stock case last January. Baum, McGinty and Schulte are not defendants in that suit. The Travis County grand jury is looking into possible "improper influence of state officials," according to Dist. Atty.

Bob Smith, who said in answer to a question he was trying to avoid the harsh word "bribery." Smith said John Osorio, Carr's partner and former president of the insurance company, called him from New York City Thursday morning. "He found out through his family this morning that we're looking for him," Smith said. "He said he would be happy to testify whenever I wanted him to. I've set it up for next Tuesday." Former state Sen. Jack Strong, Longview, told newsmen Wednesday that Osorio persuaded him on Sept.

8, 1969, to sponsor a bill that would insure deposits up to $100,000 with state bank deposit insurance corporations. Strong said he thought the insurance was in addition, to, not in place of, federal insurance under the Federal Deposit Insurance Corp. IN ADDITION Since it is in place of FDIC, the legislation would allow state banks to avoid federal bank examiners something reportedly desired by Houston financier Frank Sharp, who controlled the insurance company and the Sharpstown Bank. Sharp, the bank now defunct and the insurance company are all defendants in the SEC suit. Gov.

Preston Smith, who also made a profit on the stock, later vetoed the bill. Smith, Baum, McGinty, Schulte and other state officials bought their NBL stock with money borrowed from Sharps-please Turn To Page 2-A) SPACE CENTER HOUSTON (AP) The Apollo 15 astronauts dropped their spacecraft to within 42,000 feet of the mountains of the moon Thursday, lining up for a landing in a basin surrounded both by the highest lunar peaks and a 1,200 foot-deep canyon.

WASHINGTON (AP) Steel industry and union negotiators were reported haggling Thursday over a contract proposal whose fate may determine whether the nation faces a steel strike at midnight Saturday. Informed sources said the nine major steel firms in the talks put their first firm contract offer on the bargaining table and that the union rebuffed it but kept negotiating in hopes of winning improvements. "The union didn't buy it," said pne source, "but it was the basis for further bargaining." No details of the industry off er leaked from the secret bargaining sessions. TALKS WATCHED The talks directly cover 350,000 members of the AFL-CIO United Steelworkers and will set a pattern expected to be extended to a total of more than 500,000 workers in the industry.

Several steel firms began banking blast furnaces in preparation to halt steelmaking in case of a strike, but a union spokesman said "That doesn't mean there wiU be a strike or that there won't be one."

Approximately 22,000 coal miners were out of work Thursday in six states served by the Norfolk Western Railroad, one of the lines struck by the ALF-CIO United Transportation Union.

The United Transportation Union strike headquarters in EI Paso issued a statement Thursday concerning the strike against the Southern Pacific. An official for the strike members said the UTU is not against progress or change but does demand that changes be made through negotiations provided by existing laws. Officials said the main factor preventing a settlement is the insistance the crafts, represented by the UTU, pay for the raises granted to other railroad labor through drastic changes in work rules. Approximately 500 members of six locals from El Paso are involved in the strike. An spokesman in Roanoke, said 196 of the 226 coal mines along its routes in West Virginia, Virginia, Kentucky, Ohio, Missouri and Iowa were closed Thursday.

Railroad and coal industry sources in West Virginia said about 320,000 tons of coal are now being lost daily because of the idle mines, representing approximately $2.4 million in gross revenue for coal producers.

South Viets Claim Victory In First Battle Sweep Key Votes Today On Lockheed Saving Bill (C) 1971 New York Times News Service WASHINGTON A compromise aimed at securing immediate congressional action of legislation to save the Lockheed Aircraft Corp.

from bankruptcy fell through Thursday night after a day of intense negotiations. The failure i the compromise attempt meant that both the Senate and the House would be taking key votes on the bill Friday. In the Senate, a third attempt will be made to limit debate on the measure, so that it can be passed before Congress starts a three- lay holiday next weekend. Members on both sides expect it to fail or, if it passes, to do so by no more than two or three votes. In the House, general debate on the bill will begin, with some prospect that Lockheed's supporters may try to complete House act on Friday night.

INITIATED THURSDAY The compromise attempt was initiated Thursday by three senators who oppose the plan to aid Lockheed by providing government guarantees for $250-miIIion in loans. Lockheed has said it needs the money now, in order to stay in business until it starts collecting money from sales of its 400-passenger aircraft, the L-1011 Tristar. The three ooposing the plan to help Lockheed were Sen. William Proxmire, Sen. Robert Taft and Sen.

Lowell P. Weicker They offered to support the move to limit debate, providing that the legislation was stripped down to a measure that would aid Lockheed only, and that would provide for $25)-million in loan guarantees, all of which would be used by Lockheed instead of the $2-billion in the bill at present before toe Senate.

A South Vietnamese military spokesman said 72 North Vietnamese and Communist Cambodian guerrillas were killed in four hours of fighting 12 miles northwest of the provincial capital of Savy Rieng. He reported there were no South Vietnamese casualties.

Associated Press correspondent Hol-ger Jensen, who accompanied the assault troops, reported, however, he saw at least four wounded South Vietnamese soldiers. He counted bodies of 17 enemy troops. The military spokesman reported that of the total dead, 55 were killed by fighter-bombers and helicopter gunships. Such gunship and fighter-bomber claims are often open to doubt since they are estimates from aerial observers and may be subject to duplication. Nevertheless, the engagement was the first sizable contact with enemy troops since a task force began the latest sweep in eastern Cambodia Wednesday, the fifth such drive this month.

Most of the North Vietnamese in the area are believed to have pulled out before the push started. Reporting from the battlefield 25 miles inside Cambodia, and 85 miles northwest of Saigon, Jensen said reconnaissance units of the South Vietnamese encountered isolated pockets of resistance from North Vietnamese regulars and Cambodian guerrillas. The terrain was difficult for troop movement flat lands of rain-swollen paddies and scattered clumps of coconut and rubber trees. The South Viernamese ground forces.
