Stevens Point (Wis.) Daily Journal Friday, July 30, 1971 Page 2 Interview With Jessel Cut Short NEW YORK (AP) An interview with entertainer George Jessel on the NBC Today Show was cut short this morning after Jessel referred to the New York Times and the Washington Post as Jessel, dressed in a decorated, military-style uniform, Which he called a USO uniform, made the remarks twice during the interview with NBC newsmen Edwin Newman and Joe Garagiola. Newman terminated the interview about a minute before its scheduled conclusion. Discussing what he called the strength of U.S. troops in bases in Spain and England which he had just visited, Jessel complained: "Of course, when you pick up Pravda, uh, the New York Times, you'll see it's all full of dope and killing children." Jessel said the drug situation among U.S. servicemen was "so exaggerated, 1 it's most childish." "We have some strange new things with the communique being anti-American," said Jessel, beginning again, "then you pick up Pravda, uh, the Washington Post." At this point, Newman interrupted Jessel, saying, "Mr.

Jessel, you are a guest here. I don't think very much of this 'Pravda, excuse me, the New York Times, Pravda, excuse me, the Washington "I think that's silly, I really do," said Newman. "You have your opinions, and I have mine," Jessel responded. "Hold on a second," said Newman. "I think what you say is serious if you mean it.

One does not accuse newspapers of being Communist, which you have just done." "I didn't mean it that way," said Jessel, who added, "I won't say it again." "I agree, you won't say it again," said Newman, interrupting Jessel. 10 RUGGED SCENE This crater-dotted section of the Moon shows the rugged terrain around the area where the Apollo 15 lunar module will land later today.

This is indeed a spectacular view It's just unreal." Scott. Colors in the Sea of Serenity: "The area in front of us is in three different shades. You can se in the upland and in the valley areas it is a darker color. But as you get farther in toward the center, it is lighter, a light powdering or dusting. And out at the edge it looks very light." Astronaut Alfred M.

Worden. Unidentified mountains: "They appear to be smooth or rounded. But they are cratered and in many places rough in texture. We don't see any jagged peaks They don't look like the Alps or the Tetons or the San Juans or any other mountains we've ever seen on earth." Scott. SPACE CENTER, Houston (AP) Houston, the Endeavour is on station with cargo and what a fantastic sight! Oh, this is really profound!" Across 250,000 miles of space, the Apollo 15 astronauts had been silent, except for technical discussions with Mission Control as they solved pesky problems and checked out instruments.

Then they fired the command ship Endeavour into lunar orbit, the face of the moon burst into full view, and suddenly commander David R. Scott was chattering in wonder. They had studied photographs of the moon for months. But, Scott said, "when you get it all at once, it's just overwhelming." "I hope over the next few days we can sort of get our minds organized and be a little more precise in what we are saying. I tell you this is absolutely mind-boggling up here.

"There are so many different things down there, and there is such a variety of land forms, and it's hard for the mental computer to sort it all out and give it back to you." Here are some other bits of description given by the astronauts on the sights below: The Sea of Crises: "It looks like a great desert across which we have had a number of dust storms. And in many places you can see the tracks or the swirls across the surface which looks like a great dust storm has been blowing." Scott. Approaching the Apennine Mountains and today's landing place: "The DYING MOTHER WITH CHILD Mrs. Lyn Helton, 20, of Denver tells of the young thief who stole the tape recorder and tape containing her thoughts on "how it feels to be dying and raising children at the same time." Mrs. Helton said she suffers from a rare bone cancer that is terminal.

Sitting on her lap is daughter Jennifer, 20 months. Nearby is the crutch needed to walk since- cancer immobilized one leg.

As the interview, scheduled for six minutes, ended about one-minute early, Jessel said, "Good, I'm sorry," and the network went to a station break. The program's producer, Douglas Sinfel said afterward, "I think Mr. Newman was absolutely right in interrupting Mr. Jessel." "You just can't go around saying things like that about American newspapers," Sinfel said. Faces Reckless Conduct Charge Dennis R.

By THE ASSCIAtTED PRESS Is another, American immigration wave lpto Canada building up? Some Canadian officials fear so and believe that in the long run it might become more a matter of concern than American control of areas of the Canadian economy.

Official figures made public recently show that 4,808 Americans entered Canada as landed immigrants in the first three months of 1971, as opposed to 4,194 in the first quarter of 1970, By comparison, immigrants from Britain numbered 4,269 in the first three months this year, down from the 6,190 in the first quarter of 1970.
