Static Electricity Blamed For Blast CAPE KENNEDY (UPI) — The federal space agency said today static electricity apparently ignited a rocket engine during an indoor test last week fatally burning two technicians and injuring nine others. A National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) fact finding board recommended that the Delta launch rocket using the type of third stage rocket that accidentally fired April 14 be grounded pending a further investigation. The board said there were four possible reasons for the accidental firing but all except for a stray electrical charge “seem unlikely.” • ’ It was the first serious accident at the 14-year-old missile test center involving a rocket blast. The committee recommended that a series of tests be planned to determine the sources and amount of energy required to ignite the 455 pounds of solid propellant in the third stage engine.

Premier Os Laos To Accept Condition VIENTIANE, Laos (UPI) — FVemier Souvanna Phouma today accepted conditions restoring his government but leaving power in the hands of the right-wing generals who deposed him Sunday. The agreement was seen as a face-saving compromise. The coup leaders gave in to Western and Communist pressure to restore Souvanna, but at the same time retained the power to “propose and recommended” cabinet members and to “follow and watch” all government decisions. _ Gen. Kouprasith Abhay, leader of the military junta, said today the generals want to cooperate with the pro-Communist Pathet Lao faction, one of the three in Souvanna’s coalition cabinet. The general described the pro-Communists as “nationalists like us, speaking the same language.” But diplomats said it was still not clear what role the Pathet Lao would play in the -new government, and whether it would accept a smaller share of the cabinet seats as the junta is believed to have proposed. Kouprasith declined to give a clear answer on what the junta would do if the Pathet Lao refused to agree to the conditions accepted by Souvanna. The proCommunists theoretically endorsed the agreement by attending today’s cabinet session. Since 1962, Souvanna has headed an uneasy alliance of rightists, neutralists, and Pathet Lao. The right-wing generals headed by Kouprasith and Gen. Siho Lamphouthakoul overthrew this government Sunday in a near-bloodless coup. After pressure from both the West and the Soviet Union, they agreed Thursday to restore Souvanna. The exact terms of their conditions were not known, but it : was believed they included a larger role for the right - wing ; elements in the cabinet. j If you have something to sell or trade — use the Democrat Want : ads — they get BIG results. 1 j

D.C.H.S. Prom Held Thursday Night In Beautiful Setting By Patty Schnrger The lovely D. C. H. S. prom, Thursday evening, including dinner and dancing, began at the Fairway restaurant. Amid all the ladies and gentlemen were the honored guests. The Rt. Rev. Msgr. Simeon Schmitt, the pastor Julienne, C. S. A. principal, and the faculty. The school auditorium, transformed into a beautiful garden, was then the scene of activities. The grand march opened the ball with its stately elegance. The twiliters, the dance band, immediately swung the prom into action. At the band’s intermission the juniors sang the theme song, “Three Coins in a Fountain” with a second verse composed especially for the seniors, “Three Prayers for the Seniors.” The stars, flowers, lawn furniture and especially the beautiful pink and white fountain containing water lillies, coins and gold fish; made one feel truly in the midst of an elegant garden. Os course the prettiest attraction of all proms are the dainity garbed girls, and this was no exception. Although some of the majestic grandeur wore away with the evening, this will always be a prom for everyone to remember. Storms Threaten South Central U. S.
