Shapard Jr.. 37, said today "everything worked fine" on his space voyage Friday and that the United States could have made the shot before Rus sia put Us man into orbit. , "We could have, gone a lot earlier," the heroic naval commander told a jammed news conference, but the Civilian Space Agency de cided not to "rush the pro gram." As to why the space agency had not rushed the program, Shepard said alL persons Involved fell the timetable was a "well laid out, reliable program," Washington - (BUI - Cmdr. Alan B. Shepard Jr. said to day the astronauts were "very much pleased and encourag ed" by his space flight and would press ahead now with trie greatest possible speed. Appearing before a jammed news conference after his tri umphal arrival in Washing ton, Shepard said the Mercury Project felt several significant things were learned from his historic suborbital flight Fri day. . One of these, he said, was that-aa the man in the space craft-he actually could exer cise control over some of its devices in retroactive firing and re-entry into the earth's atmosphere. He was introduced by Rob ert R. Gllruth, director of the Mercury Project, who said that the flight was "extremely productive" and had yielded "a large amount of test data." Gllruth said Shepard had been "extremely cool during that long count down" and had done a fine job test fly ing the vehicle. Gllruth called it "an ex tremely tense but productive flight." He added there would be "m a n y tough flights ahead." Questions and -Answers Her are mm. nueatlnni and answers from Shepard's news conference: Q. How did you feel when you were waiting to go into space? . A. I had so many technical things to think about, I really didn't have time for personal feelings. But I was surprised by the lift out, how smooth It was. I expected 'more noise and vibration. It was a very pleasant lift off. Q. Where were you when you said 'What a beautiful Sight'? A. Well, I had just made some maneuvers -with the manual controls and the pro gram called for me to look through the periscope at this point. We had been briefed on what to expect and I had seen pictures of what It would look like. But when I first looked through the periscope I must admit it took my breath away. It was a beautiful view. Q. What was the worst part of the flight? A. I don't think we had any bad moments. He kept using the pronoun "we" Instead of "I" throughout the news con ference. Loud laughter erupted when a reporter asked about the re ported bet Shepard made with another astronaut that he would, not be able to see the stars or distinguish various constellations. Shepard chuc kled and referred the question to the man he had bet with, Col. John H. Glenn. - Glenn said "we were Just wondering if Al could see the stars, like I claimed he could, but I'm claiming foul because he didn't take his eyes oft the instruments long enough and I figure I'm owed a steak din ner payoff."

(UPI Telephoto) Whit House Welcome Kennedy Points To Common Effort for Space Triumph (Continued from Paga 1) Mrs. Shepard had been at Andrews Air Force Base to meet the astronaut on his ar rival after a flight of 2 hours and 11 minutes from Grand Baham Island.' , Twenty-three minutes later, he was on the south lawn of the White - House shaking hands with President and Mrs. Kennedy. ' Kennedy, bareheaded under a hazy sun, presented Shepard with the Distinguished Service Medal. Shepard stood ram rod stiff as Kennedy read the citation, and accompanied it with his warm congratula tions. In his welcoming remarks, Kennedy said "I think they know how proud we are of him and what great satisfac tion his accomplishment has given us . . ." He said of the other astro nauts: "Our pride in them is equal." The President said Shep ard's flight was "a common effort" and all of the astro nauts deserved credit for the feat. "I think we should give them a hand,", Kennedy told the crowd on hand for the ceremony. Shepard flew into space and fame last Friday and spent the Intervening time at Grand Bahama Island before flying to Andrews Air Force Base Md., by jet this morning. After greeting his wife and parents, he flew by helicopter to the White House Public Watched Flight , Kennedy noted that the flight was made with full pub lie disclosure and that it was all the more' successful be cause of the risk of disclosing failure that was present. , In presenting the award, he noted that ' this is an accom plishment that started from the ground up." The citation read by Ken nedy said: "His flight as the first Unit ed States astronaut was an outstanding contribution to the advancement of human knowledge of space technol ogy and a demonstration of man's capabilities in subor bital space flight." Before launching seriously into a rather formal response, Shepard told the President, "I thought last Friday was a thrilling day but this surpass es it." "I got less sleep last night" than before the space flight, Shepard said. He said he was "very mind ful" that part of the credit should go to the hundreds of persons who made the flight possible during the two years in which the astronauts were preparing. A moment later, with Ken nedy leading the way, Shep ard was striding into the White House for a reception by the President and the first lady.

He sat in his famed rocking chair with the astron auts flanking him on divans on either side. While posing for photographers, Kennedy leaned forword intently to talk to Shepard on his im mediate right ' Mrs. Kennedy escorted Mrs. Shepard and the other women in the party to the White House living quarters for cof fee. - t Sharing honors with Shep ard were the other astronauts, U.S. space officials, and his lovely wife, Louise. The Pres ident and Mrs. Kennedy gave Mrs. Shepard a beaming wel come. , , . Mrs. Kennedy commiserat ed with Mrs. Shepard over the brevity of the reunion with her husband who must go back to his Mercury jnan-in-space work later today while she goes back to their home at Virginia Beach near Norfolk, Va. Things were happening for Shepard almost as fast as they did last Friday when he flew 15 minutes into fame aboard Freedom 7, a Mercury cap sule which carried him 115 miles up into space and 302 miles down the Atlantic mis sile range from Cape Canav eral, Fla. The medal ceremony was hardly as imooth as last Fri day's launching. First, Ken nedy fumbled and dropped the medal with its blue-white ribbon. Then he forgot, for a moment, to pin it on the astronaut,- . ' When the medal slipped from Kennedy's hands, NASA Administrator E. Webb nim bly retrieved It. The President drew laughs from the assembled officials, which included members of the cabinet, when with the medal back in his hands he told Shepard: , : "I am proud to present this decoration - which has gone from the ground up." Then he handed the medal to Shepard with the remark, "here." Not until Shepard had delivered his response did the President rectify his mistake. Taking the medal back from Shepard, Kennedy said: "Let me pin it on; I'll do my duty." , - - Executions in Cuba Claimed Continuing Miami - (DPI -.Travelers from Havana said today they believe Cuban Premier Fidel Castro . quietly Is continuing executions In a drive to liqui date his opposition. Havana is alive with reports of new executions, the trav elers said especially in the interior of the country where scores are known to have been killed by firing squads in the past without any announce ment. News gathering facilities in Cuba are rigidly curtailed and it was Impossible to confirm the reports.
