!sleek rocket, complete with an] I olive drab launching platform. Martin, who subbed for Army (Secretary Wilber Brucker, said i one of the major advances in the > "Sergeant" was use of solid fuel ] which allows for pre-loading and ] constant readiness. The "Corporal" requires liquid fueling. Another major improvement was a "completely new .1 system embodying late technological developments,” he said. The "Sergeant" has a range Slightly [under 100 miles during which it, is controlled by an "extremely ac-j [curate guidance system which is | invulnerable to any known* enemy ! i counter-measures,” Martin said. I Its range and its ability to car-, ry hydrogen, atomic or conven-' [tional warheads make it usable both in small and major wars, he said. "It is air-transportable cna can be readily emplaced and fired under all conditions of weather and ] ' terrain by a comparatively small! | crew," Martin said. He called the ] i “Sergeant" a "potent addition to |the Army’s surface -to - surface! [striking -power.”
Declares Turncoat Hijacked Airliner Seven Persons On Airliner Involved 1 SEOUL (UP*— South Korean Home Minister Lee Keun Jik said today a one-time turncoat from [ the North Korean A#my engineered the international hijacking lof a Korean airliner with 34 perisons aboard. The North Korean Red Cross ignored a plea by the International ; Red Cross to help return any of the passengers taken to North Korea against their will, including] , two Americans and two Germans. [ Mrs. Willis Hobbs, wife of the plane’s American pilot, flew from Hong Kong to Korea with her two, j small children today in hopes her [ (husband would be released.

in the plot to fly to North Korea, j Lee said investigators “obtained! material evidence” that the plot. was headed by a former North [ Korean soldier named Kim Kyung. [ He said Kim. 35. had escaped to South Korea in 1961 during the Korean war. He was listed on the i plane's manifest as a business-! 1 man .and police said he had been engaged in a clothing establishment in Taegu but had been un- ! employed for several months. Investigators said Kim apparently was ordered to steal the plane by a North Korean espionage agent identified only as Kang. They said Kang was believed to have masterminded the plot but was not on the plane Kang and Kim were school mates in North Korea. ' Communist newsmen at Tuesday’s meeting of the armistice] ! commission in Panmunjom indij cated that violence might have occurred before the plane bypassed its Seoul destination and flew into North Korea. They told j ] non-Communist reporters some: I persons aboard needed medical ■ .attention when the plan* landed. | <
Republican Barely [ Wins In Minnesota ; 1 Democrat Refuses To Concede Defeat 1 1 • MINNEAPOLIS, Minn. (UP* —[] A Republican, Albert Quie, i; squeezed out an apparent slim I, victory in a near-upset election in , Minnesota’s First Congressional! District Tuesday But Eugene Foley, the Demo- ! cratic - Farmer - Labor candi- , date, refused to concede defeat' and state chairman Ray Hemen-. way said a recount may be asked because the vote was so close as ‘, to be "inconclusive." Complete unofficial returns com-! piled by the United Press gave Quie 44,310, a margin of 656 votes [ over Foley’s 43,654. Foley had surged to an early lead which I diminished as balloting drew to a : ] close. , • The election was held to select J I a successor' to the late Rep. Au- j ■
gust H. Andresen, who had served the district for" more than three decades. (juie’s narrow margin contrasted sharply with the traditionally ] strong Republican vote in the district which has not sent a Democrat to Congress for 65 years. The total vote was about 60 per cent of normal, and the small turnout was one reason Republicans attributed to their near defeat. They also said farm unrest probably contributed to the Demo- [ cratic showing! Both candidates had campaigned against Secretary of Agriculture Ezra Taft Benson and the (scheduled cut in dairy price supports. The district is a dairying [area, — „ t Quie is a 34-year-old dairy farm- 1 er and state senator.
