"Son, Let's Not Be Too 6, 1962 Venezuela Coup Crushe Key Rebel Cosmonaut Titov Draws Big Crowds At Seattle Fair Spaceman Wants Joint Moon Effort Seattle - (UFD - Gherman Titov, Soviet hero who has soloed in space, was caught in a crush of carthbound hu manity Saturday at the Se attle World's Fair.

C, after a stopover in Chicago where he said, "It would be splend id if the United States and Russia could go to the moon together." The smiling, curly-haired cosmonaut was followed by large crowds everywhere. At one point he stopped abrupt ly, and in the best style of an American political candi date, tweeked the cheeks of a pretty one-year-old gill in a stroller. The infant, Elizabeth Ul rich, took the attention wide eyed and bewildered, and her mother, Mrs. Alvin Ulrich of Seattle, was flabbergasted. "My goodness, that was the Russian astronaut," the red- haired, freckle-faced mother exclaimed as Titov resumed his brisk tour of the fair. The cosmonaut left a col ored picture of himself in the baby's lap. Midway in the afternoon Titov had a news conference in the National Aeronautics and Space Administration building on the fairgrounds where an array of American rocketry and missiles is on display. At the same lime, a group of more than (100 "peace walk ers" paraded outside the grounds with signs proclaim ing "End nuclear testing. No more tests. Peace is the only soldier.
