But I came away with the realization that astronauts use the stars to find their way in space much the same way sailors use them to find their way at sea. The stars your friends out there, says James Lovell, navigator on Apollo 8, mans first flight to the moon. Their familiar patterns are constant companions and with their help you can always find your position. On our journey to the Moon last Christmas I think we ielt the same feelings as travelers in the old sailing ships on a long voyage. ae For a sailor, finding his way by stars Is a leisurely chore. The ship does not move far between the time he makes the measurements and the time he figures his location when he took the sights. But d spaceships travel at speeds from 2,200 to 22,000 mph, and no man is fast enough to keep track of his position without the help of computers. moon-boun- In the Apollo spacecraft, the command module pilot, who occupies the ;nter seat, does most of the navigation or, rather, astrogation. On Apollo 10, Navy Commander John Young, 38, from ' Orlando, Fla., is doing this job. Packed into a 4x3 foot space in front of him are a computer, sextant and telescope, inertial measuring unit, information displays, control key board and pqiver supply. Heart of this system is the inertial measuring unit (IMU), a basketball-sizepackage containing three gyroscopes and three accelerometers. The gyros act through motors and gimbals to hold a suspended platform in a fixed position. The spacecraft can roll, pitch, yaw or turn upside down without the platform changing its orientation. d The platform provides a stable reference, and the accelerometers measure any changes in speed or direction relative to this reference. Each time the vehicle moves, the accelerometers measure the movement and send the information to a computer, which keeps track of how far and in what direction the vehicle has moved from the starting point. This is equivalent to what sailors call dead reckoning, or determining position by keeping track of their speed and direction after leaving port. At sea, currents and winds can cause such positions ways knows wheie it is and where it is going. But It cannot store enough information to calculate how far this position Is off, or to determine what maneuvers must be made to reach the Moon. For this, astronauts rely on computers on Earth, so ground control has the primary responsibility for navigating on the outbound trip. But on the return trip, the computer can get the astronauts home without any help from the ground. In the event astronauts lose communications with Earth Control they can still get back safely. Also, if communication is lost at any point on the outbound journey, or if they must turn around and come back due to emergency, they have the capability to do so. MUSICAL WHIRL Corrupt Judge: Davis, Gifted Psychopath' Third of a Sarin from the University of Pennsylvania in 1906. In time the reform politics of Wood-row North American Newspaper Alliance No judge WASHINGTON (NANA) ever betrayed so fully his early promise as J. Warren Davis of the Third District Court of Appeals. He distinguished himself quite unenviably as the second senior judge of a federal circuit to be indicted as a corrupt judge. Davis received a B.A. degree from Bucknell end a divinity degree from Cro-zTheological Seminary, where his scholarship was rewarded with an invitation to remain and teach Sanskrit, Greek, and classical Hebrew. He added to his learning by sojourns at the University of Chicago and the University of Leipzig. At the conclusion of his teaching career, he entered the ministry and held a pastorate at the Baptist Church in Pedricktown, New Jersey. But, as an eminent psychiatrist was later to observe, Davis was a gifted psychopath. Behaving in a way reminiscent of Aldous Huxlevs Father Grandier and Sinclair Lewis Elmer Gantry, Davis seduced and impregnated the young daughter of a member of his congregation and was driven in disgrace from his pastorate. He then turned to the law, graduating - er YOUR HEALTH Recovery Tips In Heart Attack By GEORGE C. THOSTESON, M.D, Dear Dr. Thosteson: I am 51 and was for 21 days with a heart attack just a year ago. Is there a book I can buy on how to care for your heart after a heart attack? I joined the YMCA to do some jogging, swimming, and exercising. Will this hurt me in any way? I am a bus driver A.T.Z. and was off work six months. hospitalized ANSWER: There are books on the subject, but some fairly simple rules usually are all you need. You can check with the local branch of the American Heart Association for literature if you need it, but I can give you seven brief rules which may well be sufficient. Avoid overweight 2 Avoid eating saturated fats. This means, chiefly, avoiding fat from meat. As a spread for bread, use any of the many that are advertised as being made with vegetable oils or polyunsaturated oils. . 1 3 Dont smoke. If you must, a pipe is preferable to cigarettes or cigars. 4 Avoid emotional tensfon. Learn to relax and not fret ever problems that arent worth fretting over. 5 Get reasonable rest. 6 Get moderate exercise. But dont overdo it. I trust that your jogging, swimming, and exercising at the Y are done with the approval of your physician. Any exercise or exertion that causes shortness of breath, chest discomfort, or undue fatigue is too much. 7 If your blood pressure is high, you should be under such treatment as your doctor prescribes. Follow those seven rules and you will be doing the tilings you should to take sare of yourself properly. Wilson beckoned. When Wilson be- came president, he appointed Davis U.S. attorney for New Jersey and in 1920 elevated him to the Third District Court of Appeals. After Davis assumed his judgeship, It became known to a select group, including stockbrokers, bankers and their lawyers, that Davis was a stock market addict, speculating far beyond his capacity. When the crash of 1929 arrived, so did the day of reckoning. Like Manton, Davis was left hopelessly insolvent. His only unpledged asset was his honor. Now he decided to mortgage that. Another victim of the 1929 crash, William Fox, the movie magnate, was undergoing the discomfort of bankruptcy in the U.S. District Court for New Jersey. He found Judge Davis a willing col- laborator. The judge, to finance the wedding of his daughter, borrowed $15,000 in $50 and $100 bills from Fox. Still desperate, Davis needed $12,500 more. Anxious for the cash, Davis met Fox on the corner of Twelfth and Chestnut Streets in Philadelphia. The two men withdrew into a hallway and Fox handed the judge a newspa per containing twelve $1,000 bills and five a scene these two men acted out in the shadows, the erstwhile millionaire film tycoon and the federal circuit court judge, as they transacted their strange business. $100 bills. What A change in Foxs fortunes was now visible. From 1936 to 1938 the court of which Davis was a member held for Fox five times. Davis was able to influence the senile and practically blind Judge Buffington to sign the corrupt opinions which Davis had written and sold. Fortunately for the public, the preme Court just as consistently versed, denying Fox the fruits of his re- cor- ruption. Evidence collected in the '.Manton investigation began to point to Davis and to some of his corruptors, particularly Fox. In addition, some of Davis colleagues began prodding the Department of Justice to act. In an attempt to forestall action, Davis retired on April 5, 1939, with full salary ar.d pension rights. It was no secret, however, that Davis was still under official scrutiny. Newspaper stories about Davis began to appear at the end of 1939, and Davis and his corruptors now knew specifically Answering A By GORDON ELIOT WHITE Su- SemiTheological nary, worked with the civil rights movement in Mississippi and with ghetto children in Bedford Stuy-vesan- t.

David Hawk has rejected Induction into the armed forces of his country and faces a three - year sentence in a federal penitentiary in consequence. To the extent he is representative of the genera tion of young activists, that indictment must be seriously considered: something more fundamental than a policy is on trial. Adult America and authority must examine the ground it wants to defend. Hawks chief method of opposing the American system is to refuse to be drafted because he believes Vietnam, and virtually all U.S. toreign policy, is immoraL Opposition to the draft carried beyond the point of legal protest becomes, of course, a doctrine of individual nullification, raising the Individuals will above that of a constitutional majority. Carried to the extreme by some campus radicals, it becomes a form of intellectual dictatorship that seeks to force the nation to pull out of Vietnam whether or not the majority desires that end. Hawk, in seeing Immorality" in U.S. polices, charged: A) American policy in the last tvo decades has been rigidly to the extent tnat rights of nations not following oar line have been trampled; B) That policy is based solely on selfish interests coldly calculated by leaders who hav put a gloss of Idealism on the surface so that it "rill be IN WASHINGTON more easily swallowed by a blind or hypocritical public; and C) While originally justified by national interest, the policy of containment has long outlived its usefulness and constitutes a betrayal of principle. But' his conclusions are superficial because he ignores or is unaware of certain factors that must be understood if history and policy are to be clearly judged. A nations policy toward another, like all human behavior, does not evolve out of a vacuum. In a democratic society it is no easy thing for calculating leaders to manipulate public opinion to desired ends. Because policies may and often do simultaneously serve selfish interests as well as idealistic principles, it is an exceedingly biased view that decides the was in each and every case the deciding factor in policy. Moreover, policies of democratic societies depend on consensus for their acceptance, so they evolve gradually as the public becomes aware of their necessity. By tne same token, they cannot be abandoned on short order, though there may be good reason to alter them, because that same public opinion must be convinced they are no longer appropriin human ate. There is a affairs as in technological developments. In any case, foreign policies are not changed lightly. For a nation to shift its position with each crisis is infinitely dangerous to world peace because other nations have no gauge by which to calculead-tim- e late ones intent. A nations foreign policy is a meld of its interests and ideology. Americans have traditionally believed their interests are best served by applying in affairs the basic principles of our system gn of government. reluctant to get Fox, however, lnvohed any further, fully confessed to the U.S. attorney. As a result, Davis and Fox, among others, were indicted by a federal grand jury In Philadelphia. At the trial, Fox pleaded guilty. Davis went through the ordeal of two trials.

He spent two years at Union that they were suspect. Davis was disturbed when he learned that the serial numbers of five of the $1,000 bills given him by Fox had been recorded by the bank in which they were deposited. Davis was anxious to find out where Fox secured the money and to reconstruct a believable story for the grand jury which was now investigating.

They even love their new home not so solid ! After the family moved in, Mr. Loomis found that some of the doors didn't fit. They were more warped than the mind of a Viet Cong. A cabinet drawer wouldn't close. It matched a couple of storage cabinets in the hall. They wouldnt close either. That was the Internal trouble. The family also needed outside help. The painting was incomplete. The garage door didnt have smooth sailing because a roller was missing. And the foundation wasn't what it was cracked up to be. Mr. Loomis tried to live with the little defects. But he found that there was some sort of a relationship between the babys naps and the back door. Just three minutes after the baby fell asleep, there was some reason that the back door had to be slammed. The door made it Impossible for Mr. Loomis to stay out late and sneak into the house. The door not would only awaken the baby, but Mrs. Loomis and all the neighbors ... ... He exaggerates. The door didnt awaken the deaf lady who lives tnrough the block! She sometimes stays up, however. She is the one with the binoculars. Mr. Loomis doesnt seem to appreciate those back steps with their thin risers. They kep him from cheating on his diet.
