| Peace Feeler By Israel To Arab Nations Apparent Feeler Is Coupled By Warning On Commando Raids By WALTER LOGAN United Press Staff Correspondent Israel today coupled an apparent peace feeler to the Arab nations with a warning it may have to retaliate if Arab commando raids continue from the Egyptian-admin-istered Gaza Strip. Premier David-Ben Guridh put out the apparent, peace feeler when he told parliament Israel wished to renew and maintain normal relations “with any nation, no mattsr its regime.” But he added that “outbursts of enmity and provocations by certain nations” were still causing Israel “sorrow and anxiety,” Israeli officials’ warning to Egypt about renewed Fedayeen attacks said there had been 50 minor attacks and that Israel must halt them before world opinion “again becomes accustomed to infiltration.” The Israeli delegate to the Unitted Nations planned to confer today with U.N. Secretary General Dag Hammarskjold about the I raids which Foreign Ministry ■ I spokesman Moshe Leshem called.

a “prelude to more sinister and dangerous actions,” The Israeli charges brought a : reply from Egyptian Information Director Abdel Kadar Hatem that I Israel had launched a series ofc j armed infiltrations into the Gaza Strip to divert attention from in- ' ternal rifts in the Israeli government. Israel came under bitter attack at the meeting of the Baghdad Pact nations in Karachi. Prime Minister Al Ayed Jiouri of Iraq called Israel “the most serious source of danger to the peace and i stability of the Middle East.” He accused Israel of “flagrant acts of aggression” against the Arab states. Lebanon's political crisis appeared over and the government said it did not plan the arrest of opposition leaders who demonstrated against the government last week. Divorcee Is Slain By Former Suitor > Ex-Convict Kills Self After Murder INDIANAPOLIS (UP)—A divorced mother of three children ' was shot to death early Sunday by a former suitor, an ex-convict, in her four-room home. The assailant also wounded her companion, then killed himself. Mrs. Zola Irene Poland, 40, was sitting on the couch when John Robert Koeppen, 35, a used car salesman, entered her home and • shot her with a .45 caliber revolver, police said. Koeppen wounded Elmer Adame son, 42, who was with Mrs. Poland, and then turned the gun on himself. Mrs. Poland was killed instantly. Koeppen died of a chest wound. Police said Koeppen removed a screen and climbed through a window in the children’s • bedroom to get into the house. Adamson, a barber, was | knocked unconscious by a bullet ; that grazed his scalp. He told police when he regained consciousness he found the two bodies on the blood-splattered living room floor. Adamson was taken to Methodist Hospital in "serious” condition. One of Mrs. Poland's children, Kay Ellen, 12, said her mother formerly went with Koeppen butthat they had broken up shortly before Christmas. She said Koeppen had called her mother several times during the last six months asking for dates. She added that he called twice on Saturday. Koeppen was convicted six years ago of throwing acid in the face df. his wife, Helen, 29, during an ar-' gument stemming from He served four years of a 1 to 15* year sentence in the Indiana State Prison at Michigan City. He was paroled in 1956. Koeppen’s wife, who was permanently disfigured in the acidthrowing incident, shot herself to death in April, 1955.

I Deny Satellite Program Lagging Defense And Navy Officials In Denial I WASHINGTON (UP> — Claims , that the earth satellite program is . lagging are disputed vigorously by . Defense Department and Navy ofI ficials responsible for getting the first man-made moon into space. t Pentagon leaders say they have > been more conservative from the start than some scientists who, . they believe, underestimated the • time and cost of carrying out one ; of the most ambitious projects of ‘ the ages — launching a satellite that will circle the earth every 90 minutes at an altitude of 300 to 1,500 miles. .These officials say scientists who have given up hope that the sphere will be launched into an orbit about the earth by next September merely have abandoned a hope they probably never should have had anvway. The question of whether the multi-million dollar satellite, or Vanguard, program is being delayed has arisen from_. recent congressional testimony by the Nai tional Science Foundation and members of the U.S. National , Committee for the International Geophysical Year <IGY). Testimony was interpreted as showing that launching of the first satellite ; i will be “delayed” until next year i j 'instead of meeting a September, ' 1957, “target date.” : i A Pentagon official said today ■ the September date must have i been taken “out of thin air” before “a stroke of work” had been done on the mammoth task of designing and building rockets to launch the vehicle and equipment to track it. V Only Vague Commitment He said the “only commitment” the Defense Department ever made was to get the first of six planned satellites into space by the end of IGY, that is, by Dec. 31, 1958. (The year begins July 1). To do that, he said, will require “condensing time an awful lot.” The earliest date for an attempted launching with success at first by no means assured—now appears to be next March or April, and the Navy only reluctantly agrees that it may be that soon. ' If for no other reasons, the launching would likely be that distant because the optical and telescopic tracking stations will not be installed around the world until then. Dr. Richard W. Porter told a House Appropriations subconimit- , tee “we are not entirely happy about” the time it is taking to get' , the telescope stations and “a good deal of effort has gone into trying to improve the situation,” Contractors apparently can move no faster, he said. Porter, a General Electric Co. rocket expert, is chairman of the i IGY committee's technical panel ' on the earth satellite program. The

HERE ARE TWO VIEWS of the British hydrogen bomb explosion test made on Christmas Island in the Central Pacific on May 15. At left, the nuclear blast as seen from a ship at a stage when the

committee turned over to the Pentagon the task of launching the satellite and providing radio tracking stations. The Smithsonian Astrophysical Observatory. Cambridge, Mass., has responsibility for the telescope stations. Before so - called “earnest tries” can be made with the satellite, five more test launches of varying rocket combinations are scheduled. Pentagon officials expect the interval between test launchings to be less than it was for ‘the two already tested. The first was last Dec. 8, the second on May 1. Extensive Test Program Officials point to the extensive test program still lying ahead to demonstrate that lack of tracking stations is not the only factor preventing an “earnest try" by next September. Porter testified “that was the target date — September — or the period that we had hoped for." He conceded “it would not be unreasonable to expect” delays in a project of such magnitude. The object is to shove a 21pound sphere Containing about 11 pounds of instruments into an orbit where it can circle the earth at 18,000 miles an hour for a “few weeks” to a “few years." i

mushroom was well developed. It shows that the explosion originated in the air and that the column is still well clear of the sea. At right is a view of the nuclear bomb blast, taken from an aircraft.

To do that requires an assembly of three rockets, 72 feet long overall, that leaves the ground with 27,000 pounds of thrust or almost three times the power of a jet engine in a modern fighter. The minimum altitude to avoid "drag" that would soon slow down the satellite and end its adventure is 300 miles above the earth. Speed and direction of launching must be precise. A one - degree change in the planned angle at which the vehicle enters its orbit will change its altitude -75 miles. Every 100 miles an hour variation from planned speed will alter altitude by 100 miles. The project goes "to the present limits — or beyond —of our engineering knowledge in many fields,” the Navy said a year ago, and there is “a chance of failure.” .x 44 But the more likely prospect is eventual success. And Dr. James A. Van Allen, chairman of the group in charge of instruments for the satellite, says if one planned experiment on cosmic rays is successful “we will supplant easily 11 years' work with one day’s worth of satellite observations.” j Trade in a good town — Decatar

American Breaks 4-Minute Barrier SAN JOSE, Calif. (UP)—Splin-ter-thin Don Bowden, who ran a 3:58.7 mile Saturday night to become the first American to break the four-minute barrier, said today his future track career involves “two aims." —“I want to break John Landy’s world record of 3:81." —“I want to redeem myself for my 1956 Olympic showing (when he finished back in the 1,50 meters pack)/* The first aim must await next year, as the 6-3 California junior says he is “finished as a miler, this year." The latter goal, he hopes to attain, in the 1968 Rome Olympic Games. At this early stage of his. career, he appears a cinch to do both. ’ The youngest, at 20, ever to better four minutes, he has improved tremendously each year. His previous best individual mile, from a standing start, was 4:09.9, posted earlier in the season. But the die was cast when he turned a 4:01.6 anchor lap on the California medley relay team two weeks ago. Relaxing here at home with his family and friends, following his tremendous performance at Stockton Saturday night in the Pacific Association AAU meet, Bowden said he “would concentrate” on the half mile for the remainder of the 1957 season. Missionaries Speak At Berne Friday Dr. and Mrs. A. Iglesias, from the San Blas Islands in the Republic of Panama, will speak and show pictures at a Youth for Christ rally Friday evening in the First Mennonite church at Berne. They have been missionaries in San Blas for the past 23 years and now have three elementary day schools, seven missions with over 2,000 in Sunday school, 23 national and two American missionaries. They have pioneered in reducing the language to writing and have translated the books of Mark, Acts, Romans and a hymn book. They have spoken in the county in previous years. The public is invited. Youth Accidentally Wounded Saturday An “empty” Winchester .22 pump gun accidentally discharged Saturday afternoon, and caused a flesh wound to Arthur McCollum, 18, of Geneva. Arthur, son of Mr. and Mrs. James McCollum, was brought to the Adams county memorial hospital, where he was kept overnight for treatment and observation. The bullet entered the pelvic region, but no bones, geins or arteries were struck. % McCollum was playing near his home with Lester Affolder, 15, of route 2, Berne, son of Mr. and Mrs. Dale Affolder. They loaded three shells into the rifle and fired all three. After pumping it a couple of times they started playing with it, and it accidentally discharged another round. Sheriff Merle Affolder, who investigated the affair, stated that old pump guns sometimes develop, weak springs, and do not always load the last shell. Extreme care in handling any firearm, loaded or unloaded, was cautioned by the sheriff. If you have someming to wQ or rooms tor rant, try a Democrat Want Ad, it brings results.
