America's Apollo 12 will barrel down the well-traveled avenues of infinite space Nov. 14 with instructions to go two steps further than historic Apollo 11 on its July moon landing, Prime Flight Director Gerry Griffin told a capacity banquet crowd Friday night at the Tyndall Air Force Base officer's club.

TALLAHASSEE (UPI) An Internal Improvement Fund staff member said Friday the Jacksonville Port Authority is converting the St. Johns River into "an industrial cesspool" on a piecemeal basis and is reluctant to admit it because of adverse public reaction. "The St. Johns River is an open sewer in the Jacksonville area," Fred Vides told a group of aides to state Cabinet members reviewing agendas for Tuesday's Cabinet meeting. Vides said he has asked Port Authority representatives to present a long-range plan of what they intend to do to the river but was told the Authority's attorney "recommends that they go on a piecemeal basis."

WASHINGTON (UPI) President Nixon oidered the end Friday of a 36-hour suspension of B52 bombing raids in South Vietnam which the White House said was undertaken to test the Communists' intentions on the battlefield "At this time the other side is back to the pre-ceasefire period" of offensive activity, said White House Press Secretary Ronald Ziegler. Accordingly, he said, "we have resumed the B52 flights." Announcement of resumption of the raids was made while the President was reviewing the entire Vietnam situation during a three-hour, 40-mmute White House meeting with his highest military, diplomatic and intelligence advisers from Washington and Saigon. Future U.S. troops withdrawals from Vietnam doubtless figured in the discussions, but Ziegler said any decisions reached at the meeting would become apparent in the coming weeks. After first refusing to comment on reports of the bombing suspension as a strictly military matter, Ziegler summoned newsmen and sought to counter impressions in Paris and Saigon that the halt was diplomatic gesture of de-escalation aimed

at encouraging a brcakthiough in the Paris peace talks 'Our action was not in itself intended to be a signal to the other side," Ziegler said. "We wanted to determine the intent of the other side as to the level of activity and give them the benefit of the doubt," he said. "We wanted to determine whether Hanoi had already made a decision and determine

wnether it had political significance beyond the dcain of North Vietnamese President Ho Chi Minn " Ziegler added The press secretary said the United States had wanted to halt B5? flights for a few days after the Communists' 72-hour ceasefire in respect for Ho's memory, but when they icsumed limited attacks the raids were continued at half tnc normal level for 12 hours.
