Rounding out the group of, Apollo inductees three of whom walked on the moon were Fred Haise James Irwin, Thomas Mattingly II, Stuart Roosa, Russell Schweickart, John Swigert Jr. and Alfred Worden. The Apollo astronauts were described as "modern-day Magellans" by Dr. Peter Cannon, the keynote speaker for the induction.

Cannon, vice president of research for Rockwell International said the astronauts had to overcome a chorus of doom predictions from persons who perceived the space program as farfetched. The odds against survival were too formidable, the doubters said, because spaceships either would be destroyed by meteorites or fry during re- The men of Apollo paved the way for the space shuttle, and through its success, Cannon said, America's role in space has been assured, which has "validated our ability to conceive, design and deliver the most advanced technology" in the world. But the technological revolution has become a nightmare rather than a dream for workers in the "smokestack industries" who have lost. their jobs. Cannon said industry, government and educational institutions must combine forces again to create a brighter future for displaced workers.

"It appears reasonable," Cannon said, "to assume that a nation that combined the best of American science, technology and human resouces in the space program, can muster the same cooper Times staff writer ALAMOGORDO Skeptics who dwell on the decline of education and industry in America would have been lonely Saturday at the International Space Hall of Fame. Scientists, educators, politicians and military brass joined more than 500 spectators at the eighth induction ceremony into the hall of fame in a salute to the men who journeyed farther into space than any other humans and left their footprints on the moon. The celebration at the "golden cube" at the foot of the Sacramento Mountains marked the final induction for the astronauts in the Apollo program.

Plaques bearing their names will be hung in a gallery where 70 other men and women, including 19 Apollo astronauts, are honored for their achievements in space exploration.

The inductees represent 14 countries and more than a century of research. Walter Cunningham, lunar module pilot of the first manned test flight of the Apollo program, was the only inductee present.

The flash of the explosion was seen as far away as Albuquerque and Silver City. The explosion was the result of a research and development program known as the Manhattan Project, which had been under way in top secret laboratories at Los Alamos. Despite speculation in New Mexico about the blast, the cloak of secrecy held until Aug. 6, 1945, when an atomic bomb was exploded above Hiroshima, Japan.

On Aug. 9, another bomb devastated Nagasaki, Japan, and the Japanese surrendered five days later. The Trinity Site was closed to visitors until 1953. A few years later, a group of clergy visited the site to conduct a religious service and a prayer for peace. The visit evolved into an annual trek.

The site is closed for the remainder of the year because it lies within the impact area for missile tests at the range. The site is marked by plaques and a lava rock monument. RANGE (AP) Technology unleashed after the first atomic device was detonated at the isolated Trinity Site has been "both life-threatening and life-saving." the White Sands Missile Range commander said Saturday. "Regardless of what you think, this site represents a propitious moment in human history because from that moment the course of human experience was changed," Maj. Gen.

Niles Ful-wylcr said during the annual tour of Trinity Site. U.S. Army officials said about 1.300 people toured the site Saturday. the site was ground zero for the July 16, 1915, test on what was then White Sands Proving Ground, a test area of desert plains used as a bombing range. The device was placed atop a 100-foot tower, which was obliterated by the explosion.
