Soviets observe
space anniversary
By GORDON F. JOSELOFF
MOSCOW (UPI)-The Soviet
Union today marked the 15th
anniversary of the launching of
the world’s first earth satellite
—the dawning of the space age.
Soviet news media for days
has been heralding the anniver
sary with articles and inter
views, but none has given the
slightest hint when the next
major Soviet space spectacular
can be expected.
The Soviets have not sent a
man into space since three
cosmonauts died aboard their
Soyuz II craft June 30, 1971,
after nearly 24 record-breaking
days in space. Scientists said
death was due to a sudden
depressurization caused by a
mechanical flaw.
Their last unmanned moon
probe was Luna 20, which
returned to earth Feb. 25
British labor party
divided over ECM
By JOSEPH W. GRIGG
BLACKPOOL, England (UPI)
—The opposition Labor party
went into its showdown debate
on the European Common
Market today deeply divided
over its stance for entering the
European union.
Britain joins the Common
Market Jan. 1, 1973, on terms
negotiated by the Conservative
party government of Prime
Minister Edward Heath.
But for the Labor party
holding its annual meeting here
the issue was whether the next
Labor government should sim
ply pull Britain out again or
should try to get better

CHOW TIME brings out the smiles at the Vanhanh Day Care Center in Phu Cuong.

the International Refugee Committee. There are 105 children there, aged 3 to 6.
carrying a payload of lunar
rock samples.
The first sputnik, sent aloft
Oct. 4,1957, weighed 184 pounds
and had a diameter of 23
inches. Its launching touched
off concern and even alarm in
the United States that the space
lead gained by Russia might be
exploited for military means.
Whatever lead the first
sputnik gave the Soviets in
1957, many people felt things
were evened when Neil Arm
strong became the first person
to walk on the moon in July,
1969.
Since then, the Soviets have
said at present they are
concentrating on unmanned
exploration.
One major factor for Soviet
dependence on machines is the
human toll its space program
has taken—four Soviet cosmon-
membership terms.
Roy Jenkins, leader of the
party’s pro-market group, said
it accepted it was in a minority
at the moment. But he said he
and his followers will stay in
the party anyway.
Party leader Harold Wilson
was to wind up the market
debate with what was expected
to be an appeal for moderation
and party unity.
A hard-line resolution pro
posed by the Engineering Union
rejected market membership at
any price and called on the
next Labor government to pull
Britain out.
A resolution proposed by the
Boilermakers’ Union laid down
extremely tough conditions for
renegotiating British member
ship.
The party leadership, includ
ing Wilson, took a more
moderate line, seeking endorse
ment merely of a pledge to
negotiate new terms, to pull
Britain out if this fails and to
submit the result to a
referendum or general election
vote.
auts have died during missions.
The United States has had
eight of its spaceman killed
since the start of its program,
but none of the deaths occurred
while the men actually were in
space. Most were private
accidents or training mishaps.
Much of the Soviet space effort
these days is being devoted to
the first joint Soviet-American
manned space venture, planned
for 1975, according to some of
the sputnik anniversary ar
ticles.
Maj. Gen. Vladimir A.
Shatalov, head of the Soviet
cosmonaut training program,
said in one interview that the
first joint project will last three
days and include a 48-hour
linkup of the spaceships and an
exchange of crews.
Wilson’s aim, aides said, was
to prevent the party from
committing itself to all-out
opposition to “joining Europe”
on any terms.
In any case, Wilson has said
he would not be bound by any
party convention vote ordering
the next Labor government to
pull Britain out unless he had
at least tried first to get better
terms.
But Common Market pres
ident Sicco L. Mansholt said in
a British Broadcasting Corp.
(BBC) radio interview Tuesday
a future Labor party govern
ment could not renegotiate
entry terms. He said the
membership treaty has been
ratified by nine countries and
must stand as it is.
Statue Cleaning
The exterior of the Statue
of Liberty is never cleaned
because the patina, a protec
tive verdigris resulting from
the oxidation of the statue’s
copper sheeting, would be
removed. The sheets are
about as thick as a silver dol
lar.
