Bring Back
Dramatic Photos
By EDWARD K. DELONG
SPACE CENTER, Houston
(UPD—Apollo 8 moonflight
commander Frank Borman
reported from lunar orbit that
the moon surface 69 miles
below him was “a vast, lonely,
•forbiddin . . . expanse of
nothing.”
If the descriptive words he,
James Lovell and William
Anders radioed back to earth
during their epoch Christmas
Eve flight failed to convey the
stark impact of the moon’s
forbidding wasteland, the still
and motion pictures they shot
got the message across.
The space agency released
selected parts of the Apollo 8
crew’s photographic handiwork
Sunday night, hours after the
first men to see the moon's
backside arrived home In
Houston and received a tumul
tuous pre dawn welcome.
Most of the world's major
astronomical observatories were
on a list to receive high
resolution prints from the
Apollo 8 lunar photos, the best
man has ever obtained from his
nearest neighbor in space.
These photographs, showing
details as little as 100 feet
across, were expected to
Improve maps of the moon’s
hidden back side 20-fold and tell
astromers three times more
about the moon’s face than they
know now.
The astronauts themselves
spent Sunday morning with
their families. Anders took his
wife and five children to
7
Catholic mass. It was their first
day at home since the flight,
which started Dec. 21 and ended
Friday with a Pacific Ocean
splashdown.
The moonfliers planned to
spend most of their free time at
home during lie next two weeks
except for a trip to Houston’s
Astrodome Tuesday night to
watch Oklahoma and Southern
Methodist University play In the
Bluebonnet Bowl.
Sunday afternoon ail three
men began the first of many
”mind-picking” sessions they
will hold during the coming 14
days with the men who planned
their flight. New Years Day will
be their only day off from these
important debriefing sessions.
It was little wonder Borman,
Lovell and Anders frequently
referred to the ‘‘good earth,’’
with the emphasis on good,
during theig slx-day voyage
which electrified the world.
Spectacular Earthrise
One shot they brought back
showed a spectacular “earth
rise” with the pale gray-yellow
lunar horizon In the foreground.
The earth hung like a blue jewel
with land masses almost com
pletely shrouded by fluffy white
clouds.
The movies shot from Apollo
B—on8 —on the way to the moon, in
lunar orbit and coming home—
were the most dramatic space
films since those shot of
America’s first spacewalker,
the late Ed White, as he floated
outside the Gemini 4 capsule in
June of 1965.
Clues Sought
In SBOO,OOO
Brinks Heist
BOSTON (UPD—Police and
FBI probed into underworld
haunts today for the bandits
who masterminded and carried
out Saturday night’s SBOO,OOO
Brink’s Co. robbery—the 11th
and largest armored -car heist
in Massachusetts in 19 years.
A Brink’s spokesman said
Sunday night that the two
skimasked bandits, and a
probable third accomplice, stole
some SBOO,OOO in cash and
checks, not the half million to
three quarter million dollars
originally estimated.
Saturday’s holdup is believed
to be the largest armored car
robbery in the nation’s history.
Nearly 50 city detectives
assisted by FBl’s agents and
Brink’s Co. representatives
were scouring the city’s night
clubs, bars and other under
world haunts in search of clues
to the robbers’ whereabouts.
Adding weight to the theory
that three or more men were
involved in the most recent
armored car heist was the
statement of the only known
witness. Brink’s messenger
Richard E. Haines, 43, of
Tewksbury.
Haines was alone in the truck
when the two bandits wearing
ski masks and black gloves and
wielding submachine guns held
up the truck at 6:30 p.m. in a
freezing rain.
The driver and guard were in
a nearby cafeteria having a
coffee break. The bandits
kidnapped Haines, handcuffed
him and drove him to a parking
lot about half mile away where
they removed about 50 bags of
money from the truck and
threw them into a waiting
white-topped station wagon,
Haines said.
Public School Funds
Double In A Decade
WASHINGTON (UPD—Out
lays for the nation’s public
schools have doubled In the past
decade, with average spending
per pupil Jumping from $351 to
S6BO.
And while Inflation has eaten
away considerable buying pow
er, the Increase still shapes up
as the biggest single boost for
public school education In
history.
This was the report Sunday
from the National Education
Association (NEA) In a year
end statistical summary.
Figures showed that annual
expenditures for elementary
and secondary schools alone
have Increased from $14.2
billion to $34.7 billion since the
1958-59 school year.
Most of the gains were
registered during the five years
of the Johnson administration,
Sophia Proudly
Premiers Son
GENEVA (UPD—Actress So
phia Loren today proudly
premiered for the world her
first baby, a dark-haired blue
eyed boy named Carlo whose
birth fulfilled his mother’s
dearest wish. “I am so happy,”
she said. “The boy is wonder
ful.”
Miss Loren, 34, gave birth
prematurely Sunday to the 7
pound 12 ounce boy by
Caesarian operation. He had
been expected in January.
She was calling in photogra
phers to take pictures of the
baby she was so proud of.
Mother and child were in good
health said Dr. Hubert De
Watteville, the world renowned
gynecologist who has helped
many a celebrity through
difficult pregnancies.
Miss Loren suffered four
miscarriages but De Watteville
said he believed that trouble
had been overcome.
Miss Loren virtually locked
herself In a Geneva hotel
penthouse for the last six
months to prevent any more
miscarriages and strictly ob
served rules laid down by Dr.
De Watteville.
He dictated a regimen that
Included almost complete rest,
a strict diet and no unusual
exertion.
Miss Loren moved into the
$95-a-day penthouse apartment
of Geneva’s Intercontinental
Hotel and lived what local

“As soon as we (Haines and
the two bandits) stopped, before
either of the two men riding
with me in front could get out, I
heard the side door of the van
being opened,’’ Haines told
police.
The driver and guard were
identified as John M. Gillespie,
50, and Joseph Kelly, 44, both of
Boston.
Haines slipped out of one set
of handcuffs which fastened him
to the door of the truck. He
somehow fashioned a makeshift
tool from the tinfoil of a candy
wrapper to pick the lock. His
hands, however, still were
gripped with another set of
handcuffs.
He hiked to a nearby police
station to report the holdup. The
entire robbery took only 10
minutes, police said. Authorities
said part of the investigation
centered around analysis of the
key used to open the truck and
the handcuffs which bound
Haines.
A police spokesman said the
truck was equipped with a bolt
system. “Had the bolt system
been in action, a key could not
have opened the truck,’’ he
said.
REAL PONY TAILS
WORCESTER, England (UPD
—Newspapers warned Worces
tershire women today that the
“pony tails” they were wearing
may be real.
At the same time, police
warned horse owners that a
gang operating in the area had
been cutting off horse tails “to
make wigs and hair pieces.”
In which broad new federal aid
programs have been enacted.
The federal outlays come to
only 7.3 per cent of the total,
but they have generated heavier
investments by state and local
governments.
In the current school year,
NEA estimates, the federal
government will have pumped
$2.4 billion into the schools,
state governments $13.7 billion,
local and Intermediate govern
ments $17.4 billion.
The local share of education,
long the burden of property
taxpayers, still provides more
than half of school revenues.
But the local share has shrunk
from 57.1 per cent In the 1962-63
school year to 51.9 per cent this
year, the NEA said.
Classroom teacher salaries
have reached an average $7,908
a year, compared to $4,797 a

"nonperson” for the past six
months, seeing almost no one
and going noplace.
Miss Loren and her husband
live in a multi-million dollar
walled villa outside Rome but
she has frequently told friends
the thing her life lacked most
was children.
She often visited her younger
sister who has several children.
Pontl and Miss Loren who
waa born Sophia Scicolone in
the slums of Naples were
married by proxy In 1957 after
he got a Mexican divorce from
his wife of 11 years, Giuliana

movie “Two Women.”
