Guard assumes control
of Maryland campus
BALTIMORE AP - National
Guardsmen took control of the
University of Maryland campus
Thursday, after three con
secutive nights of violent student
protest against the renewed
bombing of North Vietnam.
After one false start in which a
busload of guardsmen had to be
recalled from the university
grounds Democratic Gov.
Marvin Mandel declared a state
of emergency and ordered the
soldiers onto the campus in force.
“I’m fed up with this violence
and destruction of public and
private property, and I fully
intend to see that it ends,”
Mandel said earlier, blaming "a
handful” of the university’s
35,000 students for the disorders.
The campus had been reported
fairly quiet in the hours before
the guard took over. A noon anti
war rally failed to materialize,
and students strolled to and from
classes in muggy 80-degree
temperatures.
Under Mandel’s emergency
decree, a 9 p.m. curfew was
imposed on the campus proper
and adjacent areas. The guard
was ordered to limit access to the
campus to persons with official
business, thus providing for the
arrest and detention of anyone
not having a legitimate reason
for being there.
In New York City, anti-war
activists defied a court order and
blocked entrances to eight
buildings on the Columbia
University campus. Four other
classroom buildings remained
open
Antioch College students took
part in an attempt to block two of
the five gates into Wright
Patterson Air Force Base at
Fairborn, Ohio. More than 125
demonstrators were arrested.
The protest delayed many
workers en route to their jobs at
the air base. Traffic was diverted
to three unimpeded gates.
Estimates of the number of
demonstrators ran as high as 500.
The demonstration had been
scheduled during an Antioch
campus rally Tuesday.
In Maryland, Mandel issued an
appeal to what he termed the
university’s 35,000 serious
students.
"There is no justification or
excuse for the irrational behavior
of a handful of students at the
College Park campus for the last
two days,” he said.
In Amherst, Mass., 15
University of Massachusetts
students held a sit-in at the ROTC
building. They were identified as
members of the Vietnam
Veterans Against the War and the
Women’s Caucus.
Oberlin, Ohio, college president
Robert Fuller headed a group of
50 students and faculty en route
to Washington with 1,300 anti
war letters for presentation to
Rep. Charles Mosher, R-Ohio.
The mayor of Ann Arbor,
Mich., Robert Harris, University
of Michigan Regent James
Waters, and several professors
were among 16 persons who of
fered to go to North Vietnam as
‘‘peace hostages to protect
Vietnamese citizens and
American prisoners of war from
American bombing.”
“We agree to spend at least two
weeks each in North Vietnam,”
they said in a statement, “until
bombing of that country stops
and until all American military
personnel and material are
removed from Indochina.”
Earlier problems overcome
Apollo 16 given go-ahead
SPACE CENTER, Houston AP
Two American astronauts
landed safely on the moon
Thursday night to begin an ex
pedition that was temporarily
threatened by a failure in the
main engine of the Apollo 16
command ship, Casper
“Orion is finally here,
Houston," exclaimed Charles
Duke Jr. moments after he and
John Young achieved man's fifth
landing on the moon and began a
scientific exploration of a plateau
high in the lunar mountains.
After a delay of almost six
hours. Young and Duke guided
their moon lander, Orion, in a
long curving descent from orbit
and brought it to rest among the
Descartes Mountains.
Commander John Young's first
words were: “We don’t have to
walk far to pick up rocks. We're
among 'em."
They were the 9th and 10th
Americans to make a lunar
landing but the first to do so in a
mountain region They did not
land precisely on target, but they
were delighted about their final
landing site.
“Hats off and a cast* of beer to
Kido Targeting just beautiful.
You guys put us right in there.
That was superb." Duke said
The landing descent required
that Young and Duke fly the
lunar module from a different
starting point in orbit than they
had planned for due to the delay
in start of the descent. Eido
referred to the flight dynamics
officer at Mission Control
The third Apollo 16 astronaut.
Thomas Mattingly II. remained
in lunar orbit aboard the com
mand ship.
The main rocket engine
problem in his ship had been
isolated in a backup steering
motor, and Mission Control or
dered the moon landing delayed
while the problem could be
studied.
A go-ahead for the landing was
given shortly before 7 p.m. EST,
and Young and Duke began their
powered descent to the moon’s
surface during their 16th lunar
orbit.
The astronauts' planned first
moon excursion was delayed
until 11:30 a m. EST. It was not
immediately decided by Mission
Control what other effect the late
landing would have on the second
and third surface excursions.
The problem caused the first
delay or cancellation of a moon
landing once such a mission was
in progress since Apollo 13 when
an explosion in an oxygen tank
aborted the mission.
Young and Duke are scheduled
to deploy an atomic science
station near the landing site.
They will also use an electric car
to roam the surface in search of
evidence of volcanoes thought to
have convulsed the moon billions
of years ago to form the bright,
rugged mountains which cover
most of the lunar surface.
Young and Duke ignited the
powerful descent engine on their
spindly-legged lander and began
the dive toward the moon.
Because of the delay and the
rotation of the moon under the
spacecraft, the landing site was
20.000 feet off the moon lander's
path.
A powerful rocket firing
corrected the problem, slowed
the craft and sent it curving
downward
The astronauts were unable to
set* their landing site until, at
52.000 feet, they rotated the ship
and glimpsed their target for the
first time
Young throttled the rocket
engine to full power and began
the final, almost vertical, ever
slower descent
The engine throbbed for 12
minutes, gently lowering the
craft to a landing among
billowing clouds of dust
Mission Control studied the
Apollo 16 problem and deter
mined it was “an open circuit in
the servo loop” or electronics
circuit which controlled the back
up steering motor of the large
rocket engine.
”We ran exhaustive tests on the
control and structural aspects
and everything looks okay,” said
Mission Control. ‘‘If you
remember we ran similar tests
on Apollo 9 when we had a similar
problem.”
Apollo 9 was a successful earth
orbit mission using the Apollo
lunar module and command ship.
Mattingly was preparing to fire
Casper’s main rocket when the
steering problem was
discovered.

News Roundup
From AP Reports
WASHINGTON — President Nixon was urged Thursday
to seek $500 million a year in income tax credits for parents
who make tuition payments to parochial and other nonpublic
schools. This was a key feature in a 58-page report formally
presented to Nixon by his four-member President’s panel on
Nonpublic Education. The group was set up under the
chairmanship of Clarence Walton, president of Catholic
University, as part of an effort to redeem a Nixon pledge to
help save troubled parochial schools from potential ex
tinction. Walton emerged from a meeting to express belief
that the tax credit plan—which would directly reduce a
taxpayer’s annual levy—represents an idea “acceptable to
the President.”
SAN JOSE — Angela Davis’ letters of love and political
fervor to the late George Jackson were ruled admissible
evidence at her murder-kidnap-conspiracy trial Thrusday.
Superior Court Judge Richard Arnason’s ruling came after a
two-day defense fight to keep jurors from reading the letters.
The prosecutor has said the letters are so personal they will
be “embarrassing” to Miss Davis when read in court. The
judge’s decision was crucial to the prosecution’s case. Asst.
Atty. Gen. Albert Harris Jr. said in his opening address to the
jury that letters written by Miss Davis would clearly link her
to an Aug. 7, 1970, Marin County Courthouse escape attempt
which took four lives, including a judge’s. Miss Davis, 28, a
self -described Communist who formely taught philosophy at
UCLA, is accused of plotting the escape.
WASHINGTON — The Senate Judiciary Committee
ended 2 days of rehearings into the nomination of Richard G.
Kleindienst to be attorney general Thursday. The last wit
ness, presidential aide Peter M. Flanigan, firmly denied he
attempted to fix anti-trust cases pending against ITT cor
poration last summer. At the end, committee chairman Sen.
James Eastland, D-Miss., said, “There was notone scintilla
of evidence that Kleindienst did anything.” He predicted the
full Senate would give quick confirmation after the com
mittee delivers its recommendation on the nomination next
Thursday. One committee source said, however, separate
reports would be filed recommending for and against con
firmation. In an appearance Sen. Sam Ervin, D-N.C., said
was precedent-setting, Flanigan said he was merely helping
out another hard-pressed public servant in arranging for a
report the Justice Department said played a major role in the
final ITT settlement.
