Astronaut Tests Insects
SPACE CENTER, Houston (AP) - Speeding ever faster homeward, Apollo 16 astronaut Neil Armstrong threw through the hatch of his command module Tuesday and walked in deep space to recover two canisters of film and expose insects to the harsh environment.
As John W. Young and Charles Luke Jr. worked from the campus, the edges down the side of the spacecraft, about 200,000 miles cylindrical service module housing the mmo-mapping
After making tworound trips to the cameras—recovering a canister of film each time—Mattingly then exposed some 60 million microbes to the effects of radiation and radiation in space.
SCIENTISTS HOPE the bug experiment will help determine how the harsh environment of Mars affects the growth and mutation of micro-organisms and thus also help learn whether man can travel to Mars and back.
Dr. R. E. Benson, a Manned Spacecraft Center scientist, said the microbial experiment was the start of a series of investigations that have revealed how to board other spacecraft. It is designed to determine whether man can live in deep space for the years required for such travel.
During his space walk Maturingly mounted a container out of the vacuum tube to allow the ultraviolet rays to pepper the microbes, still inside
Another 20 million bacteria,
another 50 million bacteria,
the near vacuum of space but not
to the rays, and 20 million more
only cold and weightless
THE EFFECTS of the 10-minute experiment will be studied when the bugs are returned to earth.
"If there are effects, I would expect them to be detrimental—to retard growth and development," Benson said.
Apollo 16 is bringing to earth a record 245 pounds of rock, the first ever gathered from the mountains of the moon.
Duke expressed doubts that he and Young found the volcanic material that scientists had predicted.
The future experiments will be conducted on Skylab, an earth orbiting science laboratory to be built next. Rats and mice go next.
Apollo 16 is scheduled to splash into the 44 p.m. EST line in the South Atlantic at 70 miles southeast of Christmas City, and will hit Casper's all-moon rocklet thunderstorms for eight seconds Tuesday morning to put them precisely on course.
DR. TONY ENGLAND, a scientist astronaut, told Duke University that most of the rocks which seemed to have been formed by meteorite impacts could actually be formed when they had been shattered by meteorites.
Dr. Palmer Dyal, an Ames Research Center scientist, said the high magnetic field in the Descartes Mountains where there might have been that there might have been an earth-like dynamo on the moon."
"If that were the case, the moon had to be a lot hotter in the past and it had to spin faster," he said.
Scientists said an instrument called the DyeSpectrometer measured Young's measuring magnetic fields on the moon which were 100 times longer than expected in the sun.
A PLANETARY dynamo is a torrid, metallic liquid core. The dynamo sets up an electric field which magnetizes material around it.
Apollo 16, speeding homeward since rocketing out or lunar orbit, passed at 9:47 a.m. EST through

a week from Kansas City. She

live at the campus for evenings during the week and all
day Saturday. Armstrong said that
by working during the school
year, she could have the same job
that most students may go job hunting in
maybe like so many other students.
1,600 KU Students Commute to Campus
Armstrong's criticisms against commuting are the bad weather conditions on the highways and in other parts of the country, night classes or meetings before
Of the approximately 18,000 students enrolled at the Kansas State University campus last year, about 1,600 commuted to KU from a distance over 15 miles, according to a study by the Institutional Planning Office, headed by George Smith, vice-president.
Students commute from all parts of eastern Kansas to Topeka, Ottawa, Bonner Springs and Overland Park. Most commuters come from a radius Lawrence, according to Smith's data.
"The weather, especially snow, is bad for driving, even on the hill," the turnpike is expensive, "and for the令人不安ing anyway," Maher said.
going home. Also by community she does miss out on social events at night, but she said that there were different kinds of social events in Kansas City she did not. She easily to make the hour drive on K-10 was bad too, but overall commuting was worth it.
John Mahar, Topeka graduate student, commutes four days a week from Topeka. He is married to Jennifer Barker and lives in Topeka. Maher was living in Topeka when he was accepted in KU's Graduate School. He decided to commute rather than face the business and make his wife commute.
Students have their own reasons for commuting to KU. Students need to make their way back and forth from home to school. Situations that cost the least amount of time for commuting for some is cheaper.
Maher said he was in a car pool last semester but his schedule didn't allow it this semester.
Peace Talks to Resume, White House Announces
WASHINGTON (AP) — The United States and North Vietnam will resume the Paris peace talks in New York. House announced Tuesday night.
In making the disclosure, Presidential Press Secretary Ronald L. Ziegler said, "It is the United States' view that the first item of business in these talks must be clear about the measures which will put an end to the flagrant North Vietnamese invasion of South Vietnam.
Ziegler refused to say when Nixon decided to resume the talks.
"We are not interested in sterile propaganda debate."
Ziegler said that the United States 'will take a dm view of keeping the Paris forum open' if he should use it for such purposes.
But the unusual night-time announcement came less than hour after President Obama said the President's top foreign affairs adviser, Henry Kissinger, had held four days of secret talks in Moscow over the weekend.
President Nixon ordered the talks suspended on March 23 and the North Vietnamese have responded appropriately that they be resumed.
The United States is interested,
the presidential spokesman said,
"in discussion that will lead to
negotiations end to the war.
"We are willing to test the other side, to test their intentions," Ziegler said.
Asked specifically whether the Russian minister the Kissinger Moscow talks. Zagel said, "I wouldn't comment about the contents of the Moscow Treaty."
Ziegler said, in answer to questions, that the United States is fighting Vietnamese about the wording of the statement, specifically the portion giving priority to North Vietnamese offensive.
After suspending the sessions this year on March 23, Nixon continued to allow them to use this forum for the purpose of bullying the United States in a war of words, and seriously negotiating peace.
The Paris talks began in 1968, when President Lyndon B. Johnson halted air raid raids on North Vietnam.
a twilight zone where the
a gravitational pull of the moon
and earth are equal. At that
point, the earth's gravity began
pulling the streaking command
off its surface to a Pacific Ocean splashdown.
Since then, the North Vietnamese are for a resumption. Noting this, Ziegler said, "We are willing to test the other side, think the Vietnamese are quickly" whether the North Vietnamese are ready to resume.
"They are aware of our willingness to proceed with the negotiations," he said. "They will work in conjunction with it with your dispatches."
"Whenever the enemy is ready to negotiate seriously," Nixon said. "A march 23 news conference" "are ready to negotiate."
Casper's main rocket worked to perfection and start the mission. The rocket engine had been troublesome earlier in the mission. A back-up control system gave the rocket a forcing six-hour delay in the moon landing and causing offensives that the mission short by a full day.
Ziegler was asked whether Nixon had agreed to halt bailout requests and order to resume the aks. He responded that the United States was determined to assist South Korea in its war, imposing its will through force.
"We will take whatever military steps are necessary," including the boobing of military targets in North Vietnam.
Angela's Love Letters To Be Heard by Juvy
SAN JOSE (AP)—A judge ruled Tuesday that three love letters from Angela Davis to Michael Kidder could not bear the jury, but that jurors could not hear testimony of a guard who knew that he was face-to-face meeting of the two
Attorneys for Davis had fought vigorously to keep the jury from hearing the letters.
The prosecution claims they are key to proving that Davis was so driven by love for Jackson she snatched him from Marin coasthouse to exchange
later for Jackson's freedom
OLYMPIA, Wash. (AP)—The Washington State Library recently filled an interlibrary loan request from the LENIN State of the S.S.N in Moscow for his S.S.N in Your Heart" by Myron Brenton.
Arnason said he would not allow a guard to testify about what he observed during the only face-to-face meeting between two states because this would violate Davis' constitutional rights.
