Cizmick, Francis Roach and Alzor Hamel, By ALTON BLAKESLEE AP Science Writer SPACE CENTER, Houston (AP) It is the first field trip to the moon. And hard facts will come at last from the rocks it collected. To scientists, this is the great significance of Apollo 11's bold voyage, conducted by two astronauts trained to be careful, observant geologists during 22 hours on the moon. That they were. A Cargo of Answers The rocks and dirt they are bringing home will start answering great.

speculations long made from afar -is there any life on the moon, how old is the moon, how was it born? Is the moon's interior molten like the earth's producing earthquakes and volcanoes, or is it dead? Theories clash. From their glimpses at scene lunar TV on last night, and from word deand scriptions Edwin by Neil A. Aldrin Armstrong E. champions of various theories They observed rocks that look like basalt, which is formed by volcanic eruption. They saw a curious purple rock, perhaps one kicked from a distance away by a meteorite that hit miles perhaps hundreds of miles away.

Is Water Up There? They dug two cores out of the moon's surface, up to five inches deep. and reported that at least one from its darkness gave the appearance of "being Could that mean water present, and so perhaps life? Or was the dark appearance due to close packing of fine particles? The rocks will tell, once they are rome. Armstrong and Aldrin found the surface of the moon powdery, but the crust hard, so hard it was difficult to get the cores and to plant a flag. They found rocks resembling biotite, a dark mica that contains two to four per cent of water, but that doesn't necessarily mean water existed pristinely on the moon. Armstrong and Aldrin set up a sensitive seismometer that very soon was transmitting the existence of moon tremors back to earth.

But were these from the astronauts' footsteps, or from moonquakes or meteor hits? Time will tell, now that they've left. Bring New Questions Scientists expressing reactions to what they've seen and heard about the field trip are still speculating--about the age of the crater near where the men landed, whether the purple rock was a "foreigner," how the "dust" on the surface, splashing like water away from the astronauts' boots, was really formed, the meaning of other observations. Armstrong and Aldrin with the pictures they took and the memories of what they saw, and where will help give answers. And the rocks will tell much. But scientists eager to solve the moon's mysteries hope for more field trips.

Movie Presented At Playground The movie shown last night at Murray St. Playground under sponsorship of the Recreation Department enjoyed "good attendance," according to Daniel L. Reardon, recreation superintendent. A multitude of young children were in evidence, he added.

Many local adults took advantage of Mr. Reardon's invitation to come prior to the film showing and view improvements accomplished at the playground under the summer 'beautification project conducted through the State Division for Youth. Taking into account those who came only to inspect the facilcities and those viewing the movie, Mr. Reardon said as many as 250 at the playground.

By MARILYN NASON A study in contrasts aptly scribes the combined concert Buffy Sainte and the New York Rock and Roll Ensemble last night at Saratoga Performing Arts Center with less than 3,000 attending.

For those who really are turned on by over-amplified, noisy, rather seedy-looking rock and roll musicians, then the NY A Ensemble "was their bag." But their portion of the showunfortunately or fortunately depending again on whether this group is "your bag" or lasted far too long. The concert started late-just a few minutes before 9 p.m. and by the time they got done with a 15-minute encore and intermission, it was 10:30 before the tiny Connecticut Man Killed on Highway Is Ruled Suicide A 42-year-old Connecticut man died early yesterday of injuries suffered when he run over by an automobile about 1:55 a.m, on 1 County Route 24, Town of Moreau. State Police said David Vincent Birks, who was a patient on leave from Connecticut Valley Hospital in Middletown, died at 3:05 a.m. in Glens Falls Hospital.

Donald Clark of South Glens Falls, a Saratoga County coroner, last night issued a verdict of death due to suicide. The coroner said the man suffered massive chest and internal injuries. Police said Birks was run over by a car driven Daniel D. Brockway, 23, of 8 Lock Fort Edward. Brockway was driving east on County Rte.

To Give Prevue Edward Bigelow, assistant manager of the New York City Ballet, will present the fourth and final ballet prevue tonight at 7 at the Saratoga Performing Arts Center amphitheatre. The prevues proven one of the most popular events in the SPAC education this summer. Ticketholders to program tonight's performance will be admitted for the prevue.

"Bugaku," "Trois Valses Romantique" and "Meditation" will be discussed tonight by Mr. Bigelow and will be followed by a tour backstage. Miss Sainte-Marie came onstage de- backed by four musicians, of She is an excellent performer. A Cree Indian, the diminutive girl has straight black hair down below her mini-skirted hemline, a rugged yet attractive profile and an engaging smile and personality. The guitar she played was most too big for her, yet handled it well, as she did interesting, unusual voice, whose range and quality she mainipulated like a veritable instrument.

At times, the voice was husky, almost breathless, other times, true and clear and, again, strong, vibrant and able to "sock it to 'em" even to far reaches of the lawn area SPAC. She wore a hunter green skirt and vest-bra top with calf-high white boots. Unfortunately, 11:30 approached, the damp, cool air began to take its on much of the audience, again too bad in light of the fine, total performance Miss Sainte-Marie was still giving. Another time SPAC, she should certainly given the courtesy of being brought onstage earlier and lowing or preceding a better group. At the outset of the show, rock-roll group invited those on the lawn to fill up the seats in the amphitheatre, a wise, somewhat dangerous move, since there were about 200 people sitting in the theatre at that point and 2,000 clustered on the lawn beyond.

The audience, largely young and clad, almost to a man. "uniform" of faded jeans, shirt, sandals or bare feet and long hair, was an excellent, attentive, responsive, orderly group, who came to enjoy. In an informal poll during intermission, I discovered the "draw" among these young people was amazingly equally divided. As many said they came for the Ensemble did for Miss Sainte-Marie, paradox to be sure. But regardless of their reason for coming, they were an excellent group, invited seats in the amphitheatre quickly and quietly and really were there to be entertained.

Some consternation followed the conclusion of the Ensemble's lengthy performance, when they followed the pattern set by so many similar groups in the past: i.e., kicking over amplifiers and equipment in a frenzied close. Only problem apparently resulting this time was that some of the equipment kicked over and marred was expensive amplification units belonging to SPAC itself. Several members of the New York City Ballet Corps were noticed in the audience for the early part of the performance. Tonight, the ballet opens its final week of performances for the 1969 season. Next special event at SPAC will be Paul and Mary making a return visit to the theatre on Monday evening.

Unless they've drastically changed their format recently, no fear need be raised by SPAC management that additional equipment will be harmed by them. They are true performers, like Miss Sainte thank heavens. Window Washer Pulled to Safety NEW YORK (AP) One end of Michael Sinicin's safety belt snapped Monday as he washed an office building window five floors above 42nd Street.

Top Soviet Space Scientist Lauds Apollo Mission But Prefers Unmanned Probes MOSCOW (AP) The Soviet Union's top space scientist said Monday the U.S. Apollo mission is an "outstanding achievement" but more data per ruble could have been gathered by unmanned space probes. "For the price, it have been possible to do significantly with unmanned spacecraft," said Georgy Petrov, director of the Soviet Institute for Cosmic Research.

But he told a television audience that the presence of a human being on another celestial body besides earth is a "great step." "It really concerns the determination of man, born on earth, to enter into the mastery of the entire universe," Petrov said. The scientist said "it is still too early to tell" whether the moon will be economically important. "The Americans have calculated that it costs $18 million to transport a kilogram (2.2 pounds) of material from the moon to earth. It is difficult for me to imagine what could be that valuable," he added. Hudson Falls Obituaries Mrs.

The government newspaper Izvestia gave the Soviet people their first relatively detailed account of the U.S. moon landing Monday, but the news was subordinated to a big spread on Soviet-Polish friendship and a old communique on Luna 15. A small picture and story at the bottom of the front page were headlined "First Steps" and "The Moon Receives Envoys From Earth." An account of the moon walk followed, totaling about a column in length, most of it on Page 2.

On Page 5 of the six-page newspaper, Soviet cosmonaut Konstantin Feoktistov said in an interview that the Apollo feat is a "major landmark in the development of cosmonautics."
