And of course you also believe the Soviets sent a robot, Lunakhod (sp?) to
the
moon and retrieved their own rocks?


Sure I do.

So, if the Soviets went to the moon albeit with a robot why do you refuse to
believe the U. S. went ther with men when both countries brought back rocks ?

Very straight indeed. There are multiple reasons. And first of all
exactly because it was robot not manned mission. I do not think that
human civilization has reached a technology level to safely
land man on the moon even now, not to speak in 60s. As a U. S.
Air Force veteran can you imagine that
