THE ARMY has been told to continue development of a
supplementary antimissile system to bolster the Safeguard missile
defense program, the Defense Department said yesterday.
The systegn, called Hardsite Defense, is built around use of1
modified Sprint interceptor missiles and smaller and less expensive
radars then currently used in Safeguard.
Pentagon planners say the combining of Safeguard with the
Hardsite Defense would greatly increase the survivability of the
Minuteman force.
THE RAILWAY CLERKS UNION yesterday threatened to
renew a nationwide rail shutdown March 1 at the expiration of}
an emergency 80 day postponement ordered by Congress.
A walkout by the 200,000 ticket sellers and clerical workers would
mean a total shutdown of the nation's railroads if other unions
honor the clerks' picket lines, as they did during a 24 hour, four
union strike last December.
Union President C. L. Dennis threatened the service accusing the
rail industry of backing off from previous offers on wages and job
security and of failing to pay about half its men back pay owed under
the 13.5 per cent retroactive pay increase Congress ordered in delay-
ing the December strike.
U.S. MARINES yesterday clashed with demonstrators who
were protesting U.S. Navy target practice on Culbra, an island
off Puerto Rico.
A chapel built by protesters on a beach used by the Navy for
gunnery practice was dismantled by the Marines on Navy orders.
About 15 minutes later a group of about 30 demonstrators entered
the area in protest. The clash followed. The Marines used tear gas
and the demonstrators used Molotov cocktails, according to the Navy.

Israel rejects
Sadat's plan
By The Associated Press
Premier Golda Meir responded
yesterday to Egypt's call for a par-
tial withdrawal of Israeli troops
from the Suez Canal area with a+
counterproposal that b o t h sides
reduce their armed strength along!
the waterway.1
The Israeli leader a 1 s o urged
talks with Egypt aimed at reop-
ening the canal, blocked by ves-
sels sunk in the 1967 war, but saida
Israel was not willing to tie such!
a move to an Israeli troop pull- +
back in the area.
Any Israeli withdrawal from;
the e a s t ban of the waterway
would be incumbent on peace1
with Egypt, Meir said.
An Egyptian spokesman called
the Israeli proposal "a maneu-
ver aimed at escaping the blame
of world public opinion."I
Meir expressed belief that Sa-l
dat's offer was aimed at "achiev-o
ing a strategic advantage o v e r
Israeli forces without substantial
progress toward peace."
She 'said his proposal "simply
isn't clear" and needs considerable
clarification. -1
An Egyptian spokesman said any+
Israeli requests for clarification
would be regarded by Cairo as as
delaying tactic.
Meir suggested "face to face:
contacts" to clarify the proposal.1
Egypt has always refused to enter
direct negotiations with Israel.

Apollo
returns
safely
SPACE CENTER, Houston (A
- The Apollo 14 astronauts,
returning from the moon with
95 lbs. of rock, were on target
yesterday as they safely
splashed down at 4:50 p.m.
EST in the South Pacific.
Astronauts Alan Shepard Jr. Stu-
art Roosa and Edgar Mitchell re-
turned to earth with scientists al-
ready hailing their nine-day, 1.15
million mile lunar voyage as the
most successful of man's three
moon landings.
As the command module slam-
med into the outer limits of the
atmosphere at 76 miles altitude the
speed was quickly braked by the
thickening atmosphere. Forces six
times the pull of gravity pressed
against the pilots.
During the hottest part of re-
entry ionized gases enveloped the
plummeting spacecraft and block-
ed radio communications for about
three minutes.
At 10,000 feet, three main chutes
unfurled and Apollo 14 floated
gently downward into the Pacific
at 22 m.p.h.
As the module Kitty Hawk
descended there appeared to be
smoke pouring from it. Mission
Control explained the astronauts
merely were dumping excess fuel.
The final hours of the $400,000
mission were uneventful and quiet
as the astronauts busied them-
selves with stowage and systems
checks.
Helicopters were overhead with-
in minutes and dropped swimmers
to secure the bobbing craft. One
of the copters retrieved the as-
tronauts and deposited them on
the deck of the carrier USS New
Orleans.
During the 332 hours on the
moon, Shepard and Mitchell
prowled the barren, dusty terrain
for more than nine hours on two
outside excursions. They set up a
scientific monitoring station and
collected a record 95 pounds of
rocks and lunar soil, some of which
may date back 4.6 billion years
to the birth of the moon.
The astronauts face 18 days of
isolation on earth to protect earth
creatures from any germs t h e y
may have contracted while on the
moon. No such germs were found
during the moon landings of
Apollo 11 and Apollo 12, but scien-
tists fear the moon highlands
where Apollo 14 landed may har-
bor bacteria not found in the flat
lunar plains where the other two
landings were made.
The rocks will also go into
quarantine at the Space Center.
Bits of the material will be ex-
posed to mice, cockroaches, shrimp
and other animals to determine if
it has any dangerous effect on
earth creatures.
The astronauts will be released
from quarantine on Feb. 26. Samp-
les of the lunar material will later
be released to selected scientists all
over the world.
President Nixon welcomed the
astronauts back yesterday.
"To each and every one of the
many people who contributed to
the success of Apollo 14," Nixon
declared, "a grateful nation says:
well done."
