Gordon Cooper's successful 22.9-orbit flight was "another step toward going to the Moon and making America first in space flight." "We're all pretty happy," said D. Bralnerd Holmes, director of manned space flight for NASA, at a news briefing after the flight. Walter Williams, Mercury operations director, called the flight "a textbook flight." "I described (Walter) Schlrra's flight as a textbook flight," Mr.

Williams said. "I think this was too with the same connotation but in the last five hours we used every page in the book." Dr. Robert Gilruth, Project Mercury field director, and now director of NASA's manned space flight center, said of Major Cooper: "He's in great shape. I think this mission represents another superlative performance." ill M) GREATER CINCINNATI OBSCENITY CHARGE: Upholding Ohio anti-obscenity law, Judge steers case of news dealer David King to jury trial on charge of possessing obscene literature.

He rested there for some 30 seconds, his back to his welcomers.

Then with Dr. Utt and Mr. Graham by his side, he slowly pulled himself upright, turned and smiled. Sailors and Marines clapped and cheered. He put his booted feet gingerly on the deck, moving as if not certain of the stability of his footing.

Then, walking stiffly, he took the first steps since leaving Cape Canaveral more than 31 hours earlier. With Dr. Utt and Mr. Graham holding his arms he walked to the hospital, tired but happy in the knowledge of a job well done. The first 19 orbits were routine almost to the point of boredom.

ONE OF the things physicians were to look for during the 48-hour debriefing of Astronaut Cooper aboard the Kearsarge was a pooling of blood In the legs. Such a pooling was noted after Commander Schirra's flight, but It disappeared overnight. Most of the Initial medical examination of Major Cooper has been completed and reports Indicate he is "in fine shape." The report on the astronaut's condition was given at a news briefing by Dr. Charles Berry, the astronaut's physician at Cape Canaveral. His comment was based on reports from the carrier Kearsarge.

"He did have some momentary dizziness when he first stood up," Dr. Berry said. "There were no serious effects that could be observed." The astronaut will remain aboard the Kearsarge until Saturday, undergoing medical examinations, questioning and scientific experiments. Then he will fly to Honolulu where he will be Joined by his wife, Trudy, and his daughters, Camala and Janlta.

Gordon Cooper advanced America's man-on-the-Moon a by orbiting the Earth 22.9 times in a day and a half and then splashing down on target Thursday despite a hair-raising equipment failure.

Major Cooper traveled 575,000 miles more than enough for a round trip to the Moon then made a nerve-Jangling re-entry Into the atmosphere, caused when the automatic altitude control system on his Faith 7 spacecraft failed and he was forced to fire his retro-rockets by hand. Astronaut John Glenn directed the manual firing of the rockets that slowed the capsule so that would not burn up when it entered the Earth's 'atmosphere. Colonel Glenn called Major Cooper's performance "right on the money." The jovial, joking Astronaut Cooper, so relaxed he took catnaps in addition to sleeping IVx hours during the historic journey, said his re-entry was "right on the old bazoo." And so it proved when he splashed down five miles away from a waiting carrier just 34 hours, 20 minutes and 30 seconds after he blasted off from Cape Canaveral, Florida, Wednesday. MAJOR COOPER joked A voice on TV said, "He's almost landed on the main deck (of the USS Kearsarge)." Many laughed. At the word from Mercury Control that Major Cooper had landed In the water and was In good condition, the crowd began to disperse rapidly.

Two high schoolers walked out hand In hand. She said, "I wanted to cheer right out loud." He said, "Why didnt you?" Her answer: "I couldn't. I was crying." They looked at one another and smiled. 'Copter Down In North Korea SEOUL, Friday UPiA U. S.

A spokesman said the UN command requested the Communist North Korean authorities to return the pilots and the plane. The request for the return was made at a meeting of the military armistice commission already under way at Panmunjom.

Eugene Rankin, skipper of the Kearsarge, and apologized for missing the Number Three elevator, the usual manner of coming aboard a carrier at dock. The capsule was hoisted aboard the carrier and the astronaut walked out onto a red carpet, a two-foot wide, 25-foot long strip of painted canvas stretched out for him on the flight deck.

He said he felt fine and immediately went below for medical examination and debriefing. The landing, a bull's-eye equal to that of Astronaut Walter Schlrra last October, brought a mighty shout from the 1600 sailors of the Kearsarge and relaxed tension that had been felt for the astronaut all over the world. For the first 29 hours the 36-year-old astronaut's flight was of such perfection that it was described as a textbook flight. Then came the equipment failure and mounting tension as he circled the Earth for the final three orbits. But Mercury control center in Cape Canaveral sent him a check list of about 15 items to go through one-by-one in lining up his craft for the firing of the retro-rockets.

Colonel Glenn relayed the checklist to him by radio from a sentry ship off Japan. THE MALFUNCTION of the automatic system was indicated by a light that flashed on during the 20th orbit after Major Cooper been given the "go" for the full 22 orbits. The light should not have gone on unless gravity was pulling on the Faith 7 and the spacecraft was still weightless in orbit. As Astronaut Cooper's capsule descended toward the Kearsarge, a tracking station told Cape Canaveral, "another pickle barrel," referring to Commander Schirra's landing within sight of the ship. The Kearsarge swung around to put the capsule in the lee of the vessel, then it was lifted aboard by a crane.

Gordon Cooper was facing. A mother held her young son closely. A grade-school youth wandered from set to set (as If by changing location he could change Major Cooper's situation). An elderly man, with his raincoat over one arm, placed his free hand on his heart. At 5:55 p.

m. late arrivals asking for information got short, curt answers. The tenseness grew. THE NEWS commentator, explaining he was waiting word from Mercury Control, began to brief listeners on Major Cooper's flight from Its beginning. A man, In short, Jiked words, said, "Look, we on't care how he got up there or what he did up there.

Tell us how they're gonna get him down here!" A woman, trying to be casual, murmured, "I bet there's not a TV In town that Isn't tuned to this." A salesman began turning on other sets. The crowd had grown. The commentator said BY MERT GUSWILER Of The Enquirer Staff They began to wander In about 5:47 p. m. "They" were downtown shoppers congregating in front of the many television sets in a downtown department store.

At 5:45 p. m. several men looked at their watches and one asked another, "Heard anything yet?" A woman entered the yet-small group. Misinformed, she said, "I heard he was in trouble but he finally landed." Just then the news commentator flashed on the screen and just as suddenly the small group became a crowd. The crowd's many faces reflected personal Involvement in a situation in which none present was actually involved.

A PREVIOUSLY Jovial man became a mask of furrowed frowns. A young woman clamped her teeth down on her bottom lip. Another man did not know he stood there with his mouth open. A high school student chewed gum vigorously. The commentator faded to make room for a com-, mercial.

WASHINGTON UP President Kennedy's personal congratulations keynoted a chorus of praise for Astronaut Gordon Cooper that swelled in the capital Thursday night within minutes after he completed his 22-orbit space flight. IN A PHONE talk with Major Cooper aboard the carrier Kearsarge, President Kennedy summed up a nation's sentiment like this: "We are very proud of you Good luck." "Thank you, sir," Major Cooper replied. "It was a good flight. I enjoyed It." And Mr. Kennedy added a personal touch by telling the astronaut: "We talked with your wife and she seemed to stand It very well." THE PRESIDENT had phoned Trudy Cooper at her home in Houston, while the triumphant astronaut still was bobbing about In his capsule on the surface of the Psclfic.

Mr. Kennedy told Mrs. Cooper he is looking forward to seeing her at the White House. Later, White House Press Secretary Pierre Salinger said the Coopers will receive the President's congratulations in person at 1:15 p. m.

Mr. Salinger said a parade along Pennsylvania Avenue also is being considered and Major Cooper may address a Joint session of Congress. something about "our nation's pride." A man answered him, "In this country we care about the man. The hell with national glory now." Far in the back, a man loosened his tie.

Not too far from him, the gnarled hands of an elderly woman gently let Rosary beads slide through them. THE ANNOUNCEMENT came that all three retro-rockets had been fired. The tension began to subside. Someone said, "His poor wife and kids. I got goose bumps." A woman nervously licked her lips.

A man swallowed hard. A tape carrying Cooper's voice was played. A woman, tears in her own voice, asked, "What's he saying? I can't hear." Another turned to comfort her. "He's all right. Don't worry.

Everything's fine." A man said, "He doesn't seem to be scared, does he?" Another man answered, "He's an American, isn't he?" A woman stood, straight and tense, both hands pressed to her face. THE COMMENTATOR said Major Cooper had re-entered the atmosphere.
