U. S. Attempt To Fire Space Capsule Fails CAPE CANAVERAL (UPI) - A U.S. attempt to fire a space capsule carrying a “mechanical astronaut" into orbit ended today when the booster blew up but the capsule was saved by an emergency escape system. The National Aeronautics and Space Administration announced 10 minutes later that the rocket was destroyed after about 40 seconds of flight, and that the spacecraft was separated from the booster by its escape system “which apparently worked satisfactorily.” The Atlas rocket blasted into the sky at 11:15 a.m. and disintegrated in a massive stream of fire and smoke less than one minute later. As the booster came apart, however, emergency escape rockets jerked the one-ton capsule free and sent it rocketing into the sky well away from the explosion. Parachutes opened up a few seconds later and eased the bellshaped capsule back to earth. This shot, America’s first attempt to fire its space capsule into orbit, was to have paved the way for the free world’s first manned space flight, possibly some time

Nuclear Device Is Exploded By France PARIS (UPI) ? French scientists today exploded another nuclear device deep in the Sahara Il sert in Algeria despite the power struggle between President Charles de Gaule and mutinous Fi -h generals. It was__the fourth explosion in a series of atomic tests that have provoked angry protests by African nations and complaints by Russia at the nuclear test ban talks in Geneva. The announcement released through government - authorized sources in Paris said the explosion concluded the current series of above-ground tests in North Africa. It said, the device was exploded at 6 aim. (midnight, EST) atop a tower at the Reggane nuclear testing grounds in central Algeria. The rebel generals claim their forces control most of Algeria. But the French state-owned television network said the nuclear ; test area is firmly in the hands of troops loyal to De Gaule. The announcement said the device was a “low-power” one and that all precautions had been taken to avoid the danger of radioactive fallout to the populations of neighboring African states. France is the only country known to be carrying out nuclear explosions. The United States Britain and Russia declared a moratorium in 1958.

Pres. Kennedy, Sukarno Issue Joint Wanting WASHINGTON (UPI) — President Sukarno of neutralist Indonesia joined President Kennedy today in a warning to new nations to be alert against subversion and imperialism. The two men issued a joint statement shortly after Sukarno paid a farewell call on Kennedy and flew in a helicopter from the White House lawn to his waiting jet transport plane at nearby Andrews Air Force Base. His next stop is Mexico. Sukarno left Foreign Minister Subandrio behind to confer with Secretary of State Dean Rusk on possible peaceful solutions to the war-threatening dispute between Indonesia and The Netherlands over West New Guinea. The communique made no direct reference to the New Guinea issue, which Subandrio said occupied a considerable part of the three hours of Kennedy - Sukarno talks Monday. It also did not contain the the strong declaration against colonialism which the Indonesians had sought. Referring to the emergence of new nations in Asia and Africa, the communique said: “Both presidents welcomed the newly found freedom of these countries and agreed that their genuine aspirations can best be fulfilled through mutual cooperation both within and without the United Nations. “Both presidents recognize that these new countries must be alert to any attempts to subvert their cherished freedom by means of imperailism in all is manifestations.” The Dutch - Indonesian dispute over West New Guinea dominated the talks here Monday. Sukarno and Kennedy agreed to put their foreign ministers to work to seel compromise solutions, including a possible United -Nations. trusteeship over the island territory.

Laos Agrees To Cease Fire

VIENTIANE, Laos (UPI) — British authorities expressed concern today that difficulties involved in enforcing a cease-fire among troops in the jungle might lead to charges of bad faith. The royal Laotian goveiwnent vowed to make “every effort” to bring about a cease-fire in this Southeast Asia kingdom but had reservations that tne Communists would honor it. (In London, it was announced that the Laotian government today formally accepted the joint British-Russian appeal for a cease fire as a prelude to a 14-nation foreign ministers’ peace conference in Geneva May 12. The Laotian government said its army is ready to implement the cease fire as soon as it receives an order to that effect.) British Ambassador J. M. Addis noted that communications were poor with pro - government and pro - Communist guerrila units, and that word of the cease-fire appeal might not reach these units for some time. He said failure to make contact with these units is "bound to give rise to small clashes all over the place.” He told newsmen this would result in “early accusations of a breach of the cease-fire and bad faith. There was some doubt whether front line forces had received the word because of poor communications. At last report, the struggle between the pro-Western government troops and Communistbacked Pathet Lao guerrillas ap-

parently was going full force. A steady stream of government reinforcements pushed northward from Vientiane toward the front before the cease - fire was announced. Their mission was to assist trops attempting to stem the Communist offensive that threatened to engulf the royal Laoian positions. The government suffered a setback over the weekend when the rebels recaptured Vang Vieng. Loss of the Vang Vieng airstrip ended all chances for an aerial supply line except by parachute or helicopter. Little hope was held out for the safety of four missing American military advisers. U.S. sources here refused to speculate on their fate. They merely confirmed that the four had not returned with the rest of the men on Vang Vieng’s advisory team. (The clandestine Pathet Lao radio was quoted as saying rebel forces had captured one of the Americans. His identity was not disclosed.)
