MOSCOW (P)-A Soviet space
station made history's first soft
landing on the moon yesterday,
Moscow announced. British sci-
entists in England said the un-
manned capsule, Luna 9, sent
pictures back to earth from the
moon's surface.
A Tass announcement said the
landing was made at 9:45:30 p.m.
Moscow time-1:45:30 p.m. EST
-after the ship, launched Jan.
31, had hurtled through space for
more than three days.
Sir Bernard Lovell, director of
the radiotelescopic observatory at
Jodrell Bank, England, said the
feat "puts the Russians ahead in
the space race."
American Attempt
The first American attempt at
a soft landing, a key step in put-
ting a man on the moon, is not
expected before May.
A soft landing means bringing
an instrument package down on
the surface slowly enough so that
there is no crash and resultant de-
struction.
Lovell said the information Luna
9 was radioing back to the Rus-
sians makes a manned landing on
the moon a possibility within this
decade.
Capsule
From Washington, President
Johnson sent a personal message
to the Soviet Union on the achieve-
ment, saying "all mankind ap-
plauds" the landing.
Vice-President Hubert H. Hum-
phrey, chairman of the National
Aeronautical and Space Council,
said "particularly do I 'compli-
ment the Soviet authorities and
experts on their stamina and per-
sistence in attaining this lunar
goal."
Four previous Soviet attempts
at a soft landing had failed.
Jodrell observatory scientists
said Luna 9 had sent facsimile
pictures back to earth from the
moon's surface.
The soft landing, keeping equip-
ment intact after slowing down
from a speed of some 6000 miles
an hour to less than 15 miles an
hour, means the Russians may
now have the technical knowl-
edge to put a man on the moon.
The soft landing is accomplished
with retrorockets.
Retrorockets
The success means that for the
first time the retrorockets were
timed perfectly to ease the ship
down. Parachutes cannot be used
in the thin lunar atmosphere so
rockets firing against the direc-
tion of flight have to brake the
speed.
Now Luna 9 may be able to
radio back to earth data on the
composition of the moon's surface
that could be essential for landing
a man.
It could also permit taking and
radioing back to earth closeup
pictures of the moon's surface.
These could help choose a land-
ing spot for the first lunar ex-
plorers.
The brief Tass announcement
on the landing-the first official
word on the progress of the flight
since it was launched Monday-
gave only spotty details.
Nothing was said about the size,
shape, construction or weight of
the scientific instrument pack-
age. It is thought likely to weigh
more than 3000 pounds. Nothing
was said immediately about the
kind of data being radioed back
to earth.
Soviet commentators soon beam-
ed out thousands of words in
praise of the accomplishment.
One commentator asked how
soon would a manned landing on
the moon, 238,000 miles from the
earth, follow.
Hits]
"American specialists believe
that they will be able to send
their fellow countryman to the
moon until (sic) 1970. Soviet sci-
entists prefer not to tie their
hands by precise deadlines, bear-
ing in mind the entire complexity
of pilot flight to another heaven-
ly body."
In England, Sir Bernard Lovell,
director of the Jodrell Bank Ra-
dio Telescopic Observatory, said
the landing "puts the Russians
ahead in the space race."
Officials here quickly concede
the landing gives Russia a lead in
this important phase of the moon
race, but does not necessarily give
it the overall edge-which is dif-
ficult to assess because of So-1
viet secrecy about much of its
space exploration.
U.S. Leads
The United States leads in many
areas-total man hours in space;
longest manned flights; demon-
stration of maneuverable space-
ships; rendezvous of two manned
ships and medical data.
Russia holds a slight advantage
in rocket power and the two na-
tions are even in manned space
walks. One major goal not ac-
complished by either nation is

Recommendations
Among the unanimous recom-
mendations in the 210-page re-
port were these:
- The federal government
should become "employer of last
resort" for the hard-core jobless,
paying them to work in its hos-
pitals, schools, police departments
and other "useful community en-
terprises." One-half million jobs
would be provided initially at a
first-year cost of about $2 bil-
lion with the program expanding
steadily over a five-year period.
-Every young American should
be offered free education for two
years after graduation frem high
Blue Collar
-Blue collar workers who are
now paid hourly when they work
should be paid regular salaries,
like white collar employes, so they
would have greater stability of
income and additional fringe
benefits.
-Social Security benefits should
be increased and public welfare
programs should be reformed and
made more generous.
- The federal government
should set a national model build-
ing code and deny certain assist-
ance, such as federal housing au-
thority mortgages, to communities
failing to adopt it.

UNITED NATIONS (IP) - After
two days of public debate on Viet
Nam, UN diplomats yesterday be-
gan a round of intensive private'
talks which the United States re-
gards as part of a new peace of-
fensive.
The public debate may be re-
sumed later, but informal quar-
ters said President Johnson's pri-
mary objective in bringing the Viet
Nam problem before the UN Se-
curity Council was to help stim-
ulate further peace moves. The
informants said this has been
achieved.
The President was understood
to have acted on a recommenda-
tion by Ambassador Arthur J.
Goldberg and Secretary of State
Dean Rusk after the administra-
tion had concluded last weekend
that North Viet Nam's President
Ho Chi Minh .had slammed the
door on the December-January
peace offensive.;
Private Basis
There are indications that the
United States may be content to
keep the UN negotiations on a
private basis - at least for the
present. Future public debate in
the Security Council, however, has
not been ruled out. If agreement
can be reached, for example, coun-
cil members might decide it was
desirable to formalize the accord.
Goldberg himself is participat-
ing in a round of consultations
with members of the 15-nation
council. He expects to talk with
each member, including Soviet
Ambassador Nikolai T. Fedoren-
ko. Informed quarters said he takes
it for granted that the talks cer-
tainly will lead to new contracts
with North Viet Nam and Red
China.
U Thant Involved
A UN spokesman said Secretary-
General U Thant also is engag-
ed in private. discussions. The
spokesman said Thant "still feels
that the nonaligned countries
could contribute significantly to-
ward a peaceful settlement" of the
Viet Nam conflict.
Goldberg was reported to see
at least a few signs that things
are moving in the right direction.
Informed sourcestsaid he hadnot-
ed with interest Hanoi's state-
ment that a new Geneva confer-
ence is the proper agency for
dealing with the Viet Nam prob-
lem.

WASHINGTON (M--America's
role in the Vietnamese war is due
for a further airing before the
Senate Foreign Relations Com-
mittee.
The committee decided yester-
day to resume public hearings on
the issue starting at 8:30 a.m. to-
day..
Chairman J. W. Fulbright (D-
Ark),. who opposed the resump-
tion' of bombing in North Viet
Nam, told reporters that witness-
es both in.and out of government
will be invited to testify and the
hearings will continue "as long as
they are fruitful."
No Conflict
Fulbright said he sees no con-
flict with the United Nations' de-
cision to hold a Security Council
debate on Viet Nam. No date has
been set for the start of the UN
discussion, which was requested
by the United States.
The Senate committee, barred
from conducting hearings while
the Senate is in session, decided
to meet before and after, Senate
hours. It scheduled its second
hearing for 6:30 p.m. Monday, on
the theory the Senate will have
quit then for the day.
Fulbright said that "if it works
out," nightly hearings will be held
while the Senate is disposing of
its current fight over union shop
legislation.
No Plans
There are no immediate plans to
call Secretary of State Dean Rusk
back, but Fulbright said he would
1C3L lI dII1
be "very surprised if the com-
mittee feels it is through ques-
tioning the secretary of state."
Rusk was questioned for more
than four hours last Friday by
committee critics of U.S. policy in
Southeast Asia.
Today's witness will be the for-
eign aid administrator, David E.
Bell. He will be questioned about
President Johnson'strequest for
$415 million in supplemental for-
eign aid funds, largely for Viet
Nam, which is the formal business
before the committee.
Witnesses
Witnesses for the Monday night
session are to be announced later.
Fulbright said the committee in-
tends to call on those whose back-
ground and views have a bearing
"on our policy in Southeast Asia."
"Witnesses will testify by invi-
tation only," he said. "We are not
trying to put on a circus."
