Young Mother Kills Her Three Children COP AKE, N.Y. (UPI)—A young Yugoslav housewife Wednesday night gathered her three small children into a family bedroom, sharpened a butcher knife and then slit their throats before attempting suicide, police said today. State police said Mrs. Therese Vucetic, 30, used a butcher knife to cut die jugular veins of Zoran, 7 weeks; Steven, 17 months, and Linda, 7. They said she used the same knife to critically injure herself by slashing her wrists and ■throat. Mrs. Vucetic apparently waited until her husband left the twostory, wood-frame farm house, then took the butcher knife and a knife sharpener to the upstairs bedroom where she gathered her children, police said. They said

she locked the bedroom door and barricaded it with a chest of drawers. Her husband, Ostoja .Vucetic, also 30. said he returned to their house of the farm where he was caretaker about 8:10 p.m. after spending an hour hunting for woodchucks. He said his wife failed to answer his calls. He said he found the children’s bodies and his wife when he broke into the bedroom after discovering the door was locked. Vucetic said he walked a mile to the nearest neighbor and called police. Vucetic described his wife as “unhappy» in life.” He said she was moody and friendless. He said she flew into a rage before he went hunting because he questioned her about “difficulties” the family was having.

ter than three times the speed of sound today to establish a world’s air speed record of 2,150 miles an hour. The successful flight in the needle-nosed research craft came after a two-month delay in the Xls space program caused by an engine explosion while ground testing one of the three flight ready experimental planes and three aborted attempts at the speed record. Walker. 38, National Aeronautics and Space Administration test pilot, broke the speed mark set Sept. 27, 1956, of 2,094 by Oapt. Milbur Apt in the X2—a forerunner of the Xls. Apt was killed during the record flight when the 'ship- disintegrated in flight; 1 “Yippee!” shouted the usually I taciturn Walker when told on | landing that it appeared that he had a new record. His record flight began over Silver Dry Lake, 110 miles east 1 of this Mojave Desert test base, ' when Walker gave the order to be ; dropped from beneath the wing of a 852 bomber “mother ship” at 45,000 feet. He cut in the eight-rocket barrels that power the craft and flew a straight course for Rodgers Dry Lake, passing over Bicycle, Three Sisters and Cuddeback dry lakes which were to have been used, if necessary, as emergency landing strips. The weather was described perfect for the flight, with the temperature in the mid-80s and very little wind either aloft or on the ground. The flight began at the minute the X-15 was dropped at 8:58 a.m. and ended when the plane skidded to. a stop on its landing skis on Rodgers Dry Lake at 9:05 a. m. Four minutes of the flight were under power, the rest a long glideturn back to the lake. Walker, who said the plane went as high as 78,000 feet on the test flight, said he hit the maximum speed shortly before his fuel burned out and while he was at 66.000 feet. The 50-foot Xls is designed eventually to fly at speeds up to 4,000 miles an hour and take man to the fringe of space at altitudes of 100 miles. Report Monster In Lake At Portland PORTLAND. Ind. (UPI) — A square-shaped monster half as big as a car and possessing an eerie scream was sought today in the. murky waters of Hollow Block? Lake. Police said they were “not taking lightly” a story by in their late teens that they saw the monster and heard its bloodcurdling cry shortly after midnight Sunday as they fished along the lake shore. All five fled in near panic. “They saw something.” said Police Capt. Charles Privett. “I don’t know whether it was a monster or not, but they saw something.” Privett said two ot the youths were too frightened to talk to police when members of the group notified officers of hearing strange noises and later seeing the monster rise in the water a few feet from shore. Privett advised swimmers who frequent the unguarded small lake near a milling company, to stay away. The youths were identified a„ Carl Gierhart, Bobby Thompson, Bill Petschke and William ana Linda Hicks. Privett quoted the parents of a 19-year-old boy in the group as saying they are convinced their son saw something frightening. Residents recalled this wasn’t the first time for reports of a monster in the lake. They said it was the third time in two years. Privett, a police lieutenant and two Indiana State Police troopers went to the lake and stood guard for about an hour after receiving the report but they saw nothing unusual, they sail.

Missing Men ’• May Be In Soviet Union WASHINGTON tUPI) — There was speculation in some quarters today that two missing mathematicians from the super-secret National Security Agency may be en route to or in the Soviet Union. Howeyer, there has been no charge or suggestion that they had defected. * The two bachelor Navy veterans, who had been cleared for access to secret information, were last traced to Havana where their trail was lost. The speculation was , that they might have left for Russia from Cuba, which has been on increasingly friendly terms with the Soviet Union. Both Close Friends The men—Bernon F. Mitchell, 31, and William H. Martin, 29, both of Laurel, Md., and long time friends—dropped out of sight June 24 after they told friends they planned to spend a vacation by motoring to the West Coast for a visit with their parents. Military intelligence agents have ascertained that they booked plane passage to Mexico City June 25 •and indications were that they flew to the Mexican capital. They were reported to have checked out of their Mexico City hotel the next day. They were known to have purchased plana tickets from Mexico City to Havana. Reports from Havana said a check of leading hotels failed to turn up a trace of the men. British Diplomats Vanished Their disappearance was one of the most intriguing international mysteries since two British diplo-
