1 Antiwar Move Heads
For Pentagon Rally
By United Press International
The week of nationwide
demonstrations against U.S.
policy in Vietnam and the draft
today built toward the planned
climax—a massive rally at the
Pentagon.
The demonstrations, erupting
in police-demonstrator violence
in some places, have resulted in
hundreds of arrests since they
began Monday.
At Oakland, Calif., where a
total of 252 persons had been
arrested by today and 22
injured, authorities were
warned by a protest leader to
expect a battle today.
“We will stop the buses and
close that . . . induction
center,” said Morgan Spector,
19, a member of the Stop the
Draft Sterring Committee. “We
anticipate 2,000 to 3,000 people
will be willing to help us bat
tle.”

110 South Sth Street Griffin, Georgia
Wednesday—urged students to
boycott classes. Pickets ap
peared on the campus Thursday
but no incidents were reported.
Two thirds of the school’s
faculty met late Thursday night
and voted approval of the
university’s action in calling
police. When police moved in on
the demonstrators Wednesday,
they used clubs and tear gas in
a pitched battle. At least 71
persons were injured.
Federal authorities today
were putting together a 10,000-
man force of Paratroopers,
National Guardsmen, police and
U.S. marshals to defend against
possible violence during the
planned anti-Vietnam, antidraft
demonstration in Washington,
D.C., Saturday and Sunday.
As many as 70,000 demonstra
tors were expected to take part
in the mass rally. Many, on
arrival, began training in
nonviolent resistance tech
niques.
Demonstrations Thursday
ranged from massive metropoli
tan areas to humble hamlets.
Eggs, Rocks Hurled
About 60 Manchester College
students staged a 20-block
inarch through tiny North
Manchester, Ind., Thursday
night while fellow students and
townspeople tried to break up
the protest.
Authorities said one of the
marchers was injured as
demonstrators became targets
for eggs and rocks. Police
moved quickly, ending the
violence. There were no arrests.
A Navy recruiting table in a
Brooklyn College building in
New York City was the object
of a demonstration by hundreds
of students. Police ordered
them to leave. They refused.
At least one policeman
required hospitalization in the
resulting conflict between grim
police and kicking, shoving
students. Forty students were
arrested and arraigned within
hours on various charges. Other
Brooklyn College students called
for a complete boycott of the
college today.
In Portland, Ore., half
dozen Reed College students
chained themselves to the draft
headquarters door, forcing po
lice to use cutting tools to clear
the entrance.

PASADENA, Calif. (UPI)—
America’s Mariner 5 spacecraft
today began sending to earth
volumes of tape recorded data
on the atmosphere of the planet
Venus in an operation scheduled
to take 34 hours.
On the basis of Initial
telemetry data received “live”
from the spacecraft during its
fly-by mission to Venus Thurs
day, scientists at Jet Propulsion
Laboratory refused to make any
conclusions on the Venusian
atmosphere.
The / project scientist, Dr.
Conway W. Snyder, said there
were indications of a magnetic
field while the spacecraft was
in the vicinity of Venus.
A Russian instrument pack
age soft landed on Venus
Wednesday and Soviet reports
said no magnetic field was
detected.
Snyder, walking a scientific
tightrope, said Mariner 5
“detected changes in a magne
tic field.” He added later there
was no determination as to
whether this magnetic field was
“intrinsic” to Venus. He said
the activity could be due to
solar winds emitted by the sun.
In discussing the initial data
from Mariner 5, Snyder
stressed repeatedly that a study
of the tape recorded data would
be required to come to any firm
conclusions.
“We’re hoping to be able to
say something more definitive
Monday,” he explained.
The fly-by was a success in
the eyes of the scientists as the
climax of a 128-day flight from
earth.
All experiments aboard the
spacecraft appeared to be
working properly.
Mariner 5 approached to
within 2,480 miles of Venus,
then veered around the far side
of the cloud-shrouded planet.
While the spacecraft was behind
the planet in relation to earth,
its radio was silent but
presumably its tape recorder
functioned, storing up scientific
data for later playback. The
silent period—called occultation
—lasted 20 minutes, 51 seconds.

US Behind 6 Years
After Venns Shot
By AL ROSSITER Jr.
UPI Space Writer
CAPE KENNEDY (UPI)—
The historic soft landing of a
Russian-built instrument pack
age on Venus today gave the
Soviet Union at least a six-year
edge over the United States in
planetary exploration.
It also showed that the
Russians are moving ahead
with an ambitious space pro
gram at a time when America’s
is threatened with a massive
slow-down as a result of
congressional cuts In the space
agency’s budget.
The shortage of funds has
virtually killed U.S. plans to
match the Soviet feat In 1973 by
landing a spacecraft on Mars to
search for life.
And the success of Russia’s
Venus 4 probe will overshadow
the less spectacular results
expected from America’s Mari
ner 5 spacecraft when it passed
within 2,500 miles of earth’s
mysterious sister planet Thurs
day.
15 Failures
Before today, Russia is
believed to have had at least 15
announced and unannounced
failures in efforts to explore
Venus and Mars. The United
States has had single successes
in two tries at exploring each
planet.
But the U.S. spacecraft were
in the Mariner class, which is
designed to fly by a planet and
take a brief look at it with a
battery of electronic sensors.
Mariner 4 snapped 22 historic
photographs of Mars in 1966.
Russia’s first success was a
big one and overlapped Ameri
ca’s previous successes by
penetrating the dense Venusian
atmosphere and depositing in
struments on the planet’s
surface for the first time.
The United States now has no
plans to land a spacecraft on
Venus and no such attempt is
expected before 1977 at the
earliest.
Concentrating On Mars
The space agency, however, is
devoting more attention to Mars
and its project voyager was
designed to land two sophisticat
ed, one-ton spacecraft on Mars
in 1973 and again In 1975.
To get Voyager moving, the
space agency asked Congress to
approve $71.5 million funding in
the current fiscal year. The
House refused to appropriate
any funds for the project and
the Senate agreed to $36
million. The matter is now
before a conference committee.
Even if the $36 million is
finally approved, space agency
officials said it will not be
enough to get Voyager headed
toward a 1973 Mars landing.
The project is expected to be
delayed at least until 1975.
As it now stands, America’s
last planetary mission will come
in 1969 when two Mariners will
be sent to fly by Mars and
snap closeup pictures 10 times
as detailed as those sent back
by Mariner 4.
