It was a crowded and gala day for Cooper, youngest and last of the seven original astronauts to : ride the Mercury capsule. It start-1 ed with a rousing reception from his Air Force bosses and fellow servicemen at Andrews Air Force Ba,?e.,ou,lsiae wasmngton.

He used the Lindbergh flight to get After the brief family reunion, Kennedy walked Cooper up the path toward the rose garden and began asking the astronaut about his exciting "past three days." As they neared the President's office, Jacqueline Kennedy, radi ant in pink, greeted Cooper and bis family. Also smiling and ap plauding on the portico outside the President's office were other. .Ken nedy wonun including Atty. Gen.

The youngsters pressed their noses against the window pane and waved to the crowd below. "There He Is" As Cooper walked down the steps to stand by the microphone with Kennedy, the crowd of 200 guests, including congressional leaders and cabinet members and their wives, shouted "There he is. There he is." Cooper wore a dark suit with a small check. He seemed at ease in his time of glory. Mrs. Cooper stood beside him keeping her eyes on the proceedings. Mrs. Kennedy stood on the portico, behind many of the guests. Kennedy, who asked all of the astronauts to come down and take a bow, described them as a "very small exclusive group." He drew a big laugh when he Summer Arrives In Hot Fashion Suddenly, it's summer.

Cooper and his wife were due to arrive at Andrews Air Force Base olltsicle the citv at 11:30 a.m. EDT aboard a presidential iet from Cane Canaveral. Fla. From then on the minutes and hours were sardine-jammed with ceremonies to honor Cooper for his 22 9-orbit, 575,000 mile journey last Wednesday and Thursday which sent U.S. prestige soaring and contributed so greatly to fu ture space projects. "(All onboard systems go, oxy gen, fuel, go," were his first words a week ago Wednesday at 9:04 a.m. EDT as he and Faith 7 lifted off launch pad 14 at the Cape.)

(L -'Wi in in ID - 'W ' Soviets Request Missile-Free Mediterranean WASHINGTON (UPI) Russia has proposed to the United Stutes that nuclear weapons be removed from "the cntiro Mediterranean Sea," officials disclosed today. The proposal was contained In a nolo delivered by Soviet Ambas sador Anatoly F. Dobrynin to Un dersecretary of State George W. Bull Monday afternoon. Officials said it called for a nuclear-free Mediterranean, a pro posal Russia apparently has not made in such terms before. The movo appeared directed al most entirely at the deployment of U.S. nuclear-powered Polaris missile-firing submarines In the Mediterranean. The United States announced earlier this year that it was with drawing Jupiter missiles from Italy and Turkey and replacing them with three missile firing sub marines on Mediterranean duly. It recently was announced that two of these submarines have ar rived on station. Sources here said the Soviet note appeared to call for banning nuclear weapons from the Medi terranean Itself, but not the coun tries surrounding it. There have been proposals for nuclear free zones" before, but not quite like this one, as officials described it. One, proposed by Polish Foreign Minister Adam Rapacki, and called the "Rapacki plan" called for banning nuclear weapons in a broad belt across the middle of Europe.
