(UPI)Former President Harry S. Tru- mun greeted Sen. John F. Kennedy like a long-lost son Saturday and vowed all out support in the presidential campaign Truman once tried to keep Kennedy out of.

The 76-year-old former chief executive didn't take back any of the things he said about Kennedy July 2 at the Truman library when he said the Democratic convention had been "fixed" for Kennedy and suggested Kennedy was too young to be president. But joining the 43 year old nominee on the same platform where he had made those statements, Truman told a news conference that the Democratic Na- tional Convention had nominated Kennedy and that was good enough for him. "It's the law of the Democratic party, and I'm a Democrat," Truman said. "I follow their In a session marked by much' smiling and laughter by Kennedy and Truman, and a number of quips by the former president, Truman was asked point blank if he still felt the convention had been "fixed" by Kennedy backers. "I did not say that," Truman replied.

"I said it looked to me as if the convention was already made up the way it was supposed to go, and that is what the trouble was. And it was, and I'm 'going to support him.

There were no animall aboard the American rocket. The Tass statement that tha capsule came down about six miles from the designated target in a "pre-set area," meant Soviet scientists had scored a virtual bullseye with the relatively tiny capsule hutrling through space. The experiment was an avowed part of the Soviet campaign to ba the first nation to send a man into space and bring him back alive. An attempt to bring back a Soviet space ship with a dummy aboard last May 15 failed. A few hours before the nouncement that the capsule had been landed, Tass reported that the dogs "Strelka" (Little Arrow) and Belka (Squirrel) as well as the other, unidentified animals, were in "satisfactory condition."
