Two Russian Spaceships
Continue to Circle the Glohe
MOSCOW i/P — “The Falcon”
logged his one millionth mile in
space tonight and he and his com
rade of the second orbiting space
ship went to bed for the night.
Tass reported.
There were indications that one
or both Soviet spacemen might
land tomorrow.
A Soviet source said something
interesting would happen Tuesday
afternoon, and refused to elaborate.
However, at about that time both
astronauts might be in a position
for a landing.
“The Falcon,” Maj. Andrian
Nikolayev, 32, made his 40th orbit
at 10 p.m. Moscow time moon
PDT>, the Tass news agency re
ported. That would be about 1,040,
000 miles piled up since his Vos
tok III blasted off Saturday noon.
“The Golden Eagle,” code name
for Lt. Col. Pavel Popovich, 31,
at about the same time completed
his 24th trip around the planet,
making about 264,000 miles covered
since his Vostok IV was launched
Sunday. He was believed to be
still somewhere in the vicinity of
Vostok III.
Outstrip Previous Space Effort
Both had far outstripped the
best previous Soviet space effort
and had covered distances beyond
that to the moon.
The two exchanged radio greet
ings this morning after awaken
ing and eating breakfast, but it
was not clear how close their space
ships were together. Tass reported
they were near enough Sunday to
see each other's ships.
Trackers in Japan had put the
distance between them as about
75 miles Sunday. But the Sohio
Research Center in Cleveland. Ohio,
said they later had moved 385
miles apart.
At noon, every correspondent in
Moscow braced for news that the
pilots had begun their descent to
Soviet soil. But rumors of a land
ing proved wrong and one Soviet
source declared: “They are not
coming down today.”
They were shown again on tele
vision today, laying back in their
chairs, occasionally rising to a half
sitting position to work better with
a log book or to keep from shield
ing their faces from the television
viewer in the cabin of the ship.
Gestures and movements were
relatively limited.
Tass reported that millions of
televiewers saw Popovich rise from
his seat, look through the porthole,
smile and drink something, then
take his seat again.
None of the Westerners seem
to believe he had left his seat al
though he leaned forward far
enough to look through the port
Liberty Bell
Rings Out Again
PHILADELPHIA UR — The
liberty Bell, silenced many years
by its famous crack, was rung
today to signal the first anniversary
of the Berlin Wall.
City Council President Paul
D’Ortona used an eight-inch rub
ber mallet and pounded on the
bell in Independence Hall for about
two minutes.
Pictures and recordings of the
event are scheduled to be shown
here and in Europe in protest of
the Berlin Wall.
Authorities fear that if the
Liberty Bell were struck in a more
conventional manor it would be
split.
hole.
Could Have Reached Moon
Both had traveled far enough to
reach the moon and back but both
reported they felt fine, instruments
functioning perfectly, and cabin
temperature and other conditions
normal, Tass reported.
A midday bulletin said: "The
necessary medical and hygenic
conditions in the cabins of the
cosmonauts are fully maintained."
In the code language of space
men, Nikolayev is the “The T/al
con" and Popovich is “The Golden
Eagle” and they used these names
in their exchange of messages after
what apparently was a good night’s
sleep for both.
Tass reported this exchange:
Popovich: “I am Golden Eagle
calling Falcon. I hear you well.
The temperature is 18 degrees 184.5
degrees Fahrenheit1 humidity (15
per cent. Have you understood me
well?”
Nikolayev: "I am Falcon calling
Golden Eagle. I have understood
you. Everything is all right with
me. The temperature is 15 degrees
<59 degrees Fahrenheit). Humidity
65 per cent. Feeling fine. Slept
well.”
Popovich: “Golden Eagle calling:
| Am in good mood. Slept well. Feel
| ing marvelous.”
I Sohio Research Center
! Tracks Soviet Spaceships
CLEVELAND ffl — Sohio Re
search Center, which has tracked
the two latest manned Soviet space
ships since launching, said today
the ships were getting father apart
and could land early tomorrow if
I they wanted to.
Dr. A. L. Jones, supervisor of
basic research at Sohio, said his
calculations were based on the
first pass today they made over the
eastern half of the United States at
9:27 a.m. PDT.
He said Vostok III was now 796
miles ahead of Vostok IV and they
are moving farther apart as was
expected. He said his figures in
dicated the space ships could be
brought down tomorrow.
The station did not pick up any
| voices from the crafts as it did
yesterday, he said.

Japanese Youth
drosses Pacific
In 19-Foot lioat
SAN FRANCISCO fr — A Ja
panese youth who crossed the
Pacific alone in a 19-foot sailboat
on a diet of Japanese rice, beer,
sake and fresh fish wants to stay
in the United States two years
to learn English.
The plans of Kenichi Horie, 23.
of Osaka, are somewhat clouded
by the fact he arrived without pass
port. visa, immunization record,
proof of financial stability or a
sponsor.
While the U.S. Immigration
Service and the Japanese consu

custody.
Horie sailed into San Francisco j
Bay Sunday after a three-month
voyage from Osaka. The surprised j
U.S. Coast Guard escorted him to
St. Francis yacht harbor and called
for the Immigration Service.
With flhe aid of his Japanese
English dictionary Horie got across !
to officials his plans to stay two
years and learn English. Then he
passed around cups of sake, a rice
wine, to curious onlookers.
The Coast Guard studied the
little sailboat with small cabin for
ward and found only a tiny radio
| direction finder, sextant and a com
. pass. No auxiliary engine or radio
communications gear encumbered
Horie.
“Obviously one hell of a nav iga
tor.” mused one Coast Guard man.
Horie’s family in Osaka was
overjoyed at the news of his .ar
rival.
The Japanese government, which
had given him up for dead, said
it was astounded.
• Japan had denied Horie a pass
port on the grounds the plannedj
trip was suicidal.
