"All by himself!" ran a Daily Mail banner. In cities and towns across Western Europe, Europeans fol. lowed the thrilling story on ra- dio and television links with Cape Canaveral and the carrier Kearsarge. K CONGRATULATES Russian Premier Khrushchev and other world leaders sent congratulations . Cooper's space flight to the United Khrushchev said in a tele. gram to President Kennedy quoted by the Soviet news agency Tass: "Esteemed Mr. President, ac- cept our cordial] congratulations on the occasion of cosmonaut G. Cooper's successful flight in the cosmic ship Faith 7 which has made a new contribution to the exploration of the outer space. "The Soviet people send the courageous American cosmo. naut Gordon Cooper their con- gratulations and best wishes." Television viewers in Britain and 10 European nations saw pictures from Cape Canaveral phere. via the Telstar II satellite, and heard a play-by-play account of the spaceman's hazardous re. entry into the earth's atmos.

The spaceman's perilous de- scent to his exactly-predicted impact point 96 miles southeast of Midway Island Thursday afternoon was full of drama, He had to use manual controls when the automatic guidance system for re-entry developed trouble, and he performed the hand operation magnificently. But his physical condition was what most pleased space agency doctors examining him today. Ben James, National Aero- nautics and Space' Administra- tion spokesman aboard this 41, 000-ton aircraft carrier, said the medical men were "very happy with Cooper's condition." "In. layman's language, you would say his condition is nor- COOPER 'NORMAL' AFTER SPACE TR Lands -- Right On Target evaluation, but optimism was evident that the main stated ob- jective of this longest U.S. space journey had: been reached. This was: "Study the effects of approximately one day in orbital flight on the astronaut; verify that man can function in space as a primary 'system' aboard the spacecraft for an ex- tended period of time, and eval- uate the combined performance of the astronaut with a Mercui spacecraft modified for a day mission," The Russians remained far ahead in orbits and flight lengths, with a record of 64 and 48 revolutions last August. But they have divulged little of their cosmonauts' condition. U.S. space agency doctors had expressed fears beforehand that Cooper might faint~or worse-- when he came down, ob- ad were delighted he did not, President Kennedy, who con- gratulated the 36-year-old Okla: homa air force major by telee phone a few minutes after he landed, said over radio and television that Cooper's feat "represents a great achieve- ment for our society and <a mal.
