With them were the wives of four other astronauts Donald K. Slayton, Virgil I.
Grissom, Waller M. Schirra jr. and Alan B. Shepard Jr. Cam and Jan, standing on each side of their mother, denied they had been nervous during the flight.
"I was not nervous, said Cam, dressed in a beige print dress. "I knew he could do well," she added. '1 WAS CONFIDENT "I was confident," said Jan, who was wearing a white and brown dress. Asked at what point of the flight was she the most nervous, Mrs. Coor replied: "I think the launch is the time Thursday night 20 minutes after Cooper was safely aboard the Kearsarge after his historic 22 -orbit flight.
The conference broke up when word came Cooper was waiting to talk to his wife and daughters by radiotelephone from the Kearsarge. Details of the conversations were not revealed but Mrs, Cooper sent this message to the newsmen: "It was a good connection." 'VERY PROfD FAMILY' "We are a very proud family tonight," Mrs. Coofier said alter walking from the brick and stone house where she and the girls had remained throughout the flight. She thanked newsmen for their "patience the past two days." Some 300 persons were on hand when the family appeared before newsmen and photographers who had wailed In the street in front of the house more than 34 hours. "1 felt very calm and confident," Mrs.
Cooper said when asked how she reacted to news of Mercury Control's report as Coop, er fired his reverse rockets and moved the capsule into its re-entry position. Across continental Europe local commentators translated the Mercury Control reports as Cooper made his descent. Then came the word his parachute had opened, he was sighted. He was coming down. Then the word they had been waiting for he was down, safe and triumphant.
West German Chancellor Kon-rad Adenauer, Japanese prime Minister Hayato Ikeda and Mexican President Adolfo Lopez Ma-teos were among the first to send congratulations to Kennedy. The foreign minister of the newest member of the United Nations, Sheikh Sabah Al-Salcm Al-Sabah of Kuwait, interrupted a reception in New York in his honor to congratulate Adlai E. Stevenson, the U.S. ambassador to the United Nations. Soviets heard brief reports of the flight in early morning radio newscasts.
But news of the successful completion came too late for Moscow morning newspapers to print it. Under The Dome By ANTHONY WHITE LONDON AP) The cool courage, iron nerve and skill of astronaut Gordon Cooper aroused the wonder and astonishment of Western Europe today. World leaders including Soviet Premier Khrushchev cabled congratulations to President Kennedy. Khrushchev saluted the "Courageous American astronaut" and said his flight had "made a new contribution to the exploration of the expanses of the universe." Through the evening and into the early morning Europeans followed the last tension-packed hours of his voyage. In cities and towns across West ern Europe they followed the thrilling story on radio and television links with Cape Canaveral and the carrier Kearsarge.
Today the story was spread across the front pages. "Gordon does it by the seat of his pants," trumpeted the London Daily Mirror. "Glorious splashdown!" the Daily Herald cried. "All By Himselfl" ran a Daily Mail Banner. The admiration was accompanied by relief that he had made it down safely after the worry when technical failure in the capsule forced him to drive the thing down himself.
Millions of Europeans shared the tension-crowded moments. On television hookups via the Telstar 2 and relay satellites they heard Greensboro News By MRS. SHIRLEY CHESTER Miss Patricia Fletcher has returned to Valdosta State College afetr spending several days with her parents. Mrs. and Mrs.

Miss Debbie Shepard returned home with them to spend a couple of weeks. when everyone is the most apprehensive," Mrs. Cooper, a pretty brunette and dressed in a coral fitted princess lines dress, appeared a bit nervous at the beginning of the news conference but the nervousness seemed to have ended by the time it ended.
She laughingly said the news conference was "really the worst part." She said she and her daughters slept well Wednesday night without the aid of sleeping pills. She rejieated that the family "was very disappointed" at Tuesday's postponement of the flight. The Coopers began removing luggage from closets early Thursday for the trip to Hawaii but waited until after the astronaut's safe recovery before packing. Hawaii will be something of a homecoming for the Coopers. Gordon Coor and Trudy Cooper met and married while students at the University of JIayaii.
so they will have to absorb it and this will amount to a tax on their income, since all they have to sell is a haircut. There probably are enough lawyers and representatives of such other professions as accountancy, medicine and architecture to keep any tax on professional services from getting serious consideration. Governor Bryant hasn't recommended that tax, but he has proposed taxing things like auto repairmen's service charges. This probably would include car washing. Other pending bills would put the tax on laundry, cleaning and barber bills.
Now, you might stretch your imagination and say you may be taxed on your freshly washed shirt because you take it home in a bundle, but you shouldn't be taxed on the bill for washing your hair or your car because it's not "tangible" but there really would eem to be as much justification for one as the other. Then, the argument goes, if you pay the tax on the fee your barber charges for cutting your hair with his scissors, why shouldn't you pay it on the bill your doctor sends for snipping out your tonsils? See how complicated it gets? This debate isn't new. Actually, the sales tax already applies to many things you can't take with you theater admission, hotel and motel room rent, apartment and house rent of transients (up to 180 days in the same place). So, they say, what's the difference between a theater ticket and a golf greens fee or a bowling alley charge? If you tax the tourist's motel rent, why not his boat rent? And what's the difference between the 180th and the 181st day in rented quarters? (This tax on rented houses, which presumably would apply to indefinite occupancy under Governor Bryant's plan, somehow seems particularly unfair because the family that lives in a rented house already pays more taxes than the one which owns its home, This is because the landlord's tax on the property certainly is charged back against tlie tenant, while the home-owner gets homestead exemption.) But the quest for fairness in our system, either State or federal, ended long ago. What they are after now is revenue, and taxation becomes a matter of political arithmetic instead of equity formula.
e's just one thing for sure: Regardless of who hands it to the collector, It's going to come out of your pocket whether or not you see the hand go in there and get it. Texas Firm Sues State Agency The Agricultural Transportation Association of Texas has filed a new suit in federal court here against the State Railroad and Public Utilities Commission.
