CAPITAL GIVES
GORDON COOPER
HERO’S WELCOME
WASHINGTON W — The na
tional capital poured a hero’s hon
ors on Gordon Cooper yesterday,
and the 22-orbit spaceman took it
all in stride, as unruffled as he
was 100 miles up in space.
And, as when he set his Faith
7 down in the Pacific last week,
the laconic 36-year-old major
tended to operate manually.
He could muster little more than
a smile and thank you when Pres
ident Kennedy presented the
NASA Distinguished Service
Medal at the White House.
For an applauding joint session
of Congress, he had only a little
speech that was mainly praise for
his fellow astronauts.
But during the 10-mile an hour
drive, 20 minute drive up the road
of heroes — Pennsylvania Ave. —
the American space champ nearly
wore out both his arms waving
to the wildly cheering throngs.
People were massed dozens deep
on the sidewalks, faces filled every
inch of window space in the build
ings along the route.
There was thunderous applause,
lasting nearly two minutes, as
Cooper was escorted into the House
chamber to address the joint Sen
ate-House meeting. There was an
other standing ovation as Speaker
John McCormack introduced
Cooper.
Folding his hands over notes he
laid on the podium, Cooper began
bv observing that it was hard for
him to imagine such a welcome.
Leaning on his elbows, Cooper
spoke in his slow, southwestern
drawl of the manned-space team
of which he is a member.
Cooper spoke for six minutes
before he referred to the notes be
fore him.
He disclosed that during his 16th
orbit around the earth he had taped
a prayer on his capsule equipment.
Reading the prayer, Cooper con
cluded his talk in 8 minutes.
As Cooper read his prayer, his
mother, sitting above him in the
gallery, bowed her head and cover
ed her eyes with her hand. As he
concluded, Mrs. Cooper wiped tears
from her eyes and smiled.
The prayer:
