Bonarc ROars
 After Target Over Atlantic

CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla, M A Bomarc interceptor missile rumbled over the Atlantic today in search of a jet drone more than 250 miles away.
 The Bomarc, which the Air Force claims is the most potent air defense weapon yet developed, roared off the Cape launching pad at 1O:40 am.
 The Air Force rarely announces the results of these tests but it was expected the 47-foot Bomarc would score near miss on the jet to save it for future tests.
 The Bomarc, which has been fired more than 45 times from the Cape, blasted straight up to an altitude of about 6O,O00 feet be- fore it eased over and streaked away.
 Once again. the Bomarc was fired by remote control from an Air Defense center in Kingston, N. Y, 1,50G miles to the north.
 Once a button is pressed in Kingston, the Bomarc roars away at close to three times the speed Of sound.
 Once it dives on target, ground control is finished and the missile uses radar homing device to score the Unit"

Starkweather's Girl Convicted In Murder Spree

LINCOLN, .Neb., R - A jury today convicted Caril Ann Fugate of first degree murder for help ing Charles Starkweather on a killing rampage, last January
 Life imprisonment was pre- scribed. .1t0s
 Starkweather, 19, was con victed on identical charges last May and drew a death sentence, still to be executed.
 The jury verdict against Stark weather's 15-year-old ex-sweet- heart climaxed a trial that began nearly four weeks ago.
 A trim and pretty brunette, Caril was charged with aiding and abetting Starkweather in one of II killings attributed to him.
 By it's verdict, the jury of sev- en men and five women tabbed Caril a helpful companion to Starkweather on killing spree that shocked the nation. Rejected was Car1IS plea she was forced into her role by fears for her own life and threats of harm to her family.
 She was convicted of first de- gree on the second count, which is murder in the perpetration of a robbery.
 It was Starkweather himself who pointed the most accusing finger at the girl.
 Hauled into court from his death cell at the Nebraska Peni- tentiary, the bandy-legged red head described Caril as his willing and aggressive helpmate in the slayings
 He labeled as s'bunch of hog wash," his earlier statements to the contrary, and insisted he and Caril made up the story about her role as hostage before ever set ting out on the killing flight.
 Starkweather also buried the last remains of the teen-age romance.
 Asked if he cares whether Caril lives or dies, Starkweather said: ''It don't make no difference to me-" :

Flags Fly On
 Equal Basis Over Vmginia's Capitol

RICHMOND, Va. R - Gov. J. Lindsay Almond Jr. says the U. S. flag will fly atop state-owned buildings only on an equal basis with the Virginia flag.
 This means, he added Thursday, the U. s. flag will not be dis played over the state flag on the same halyard. He said, however, his policy statement should not be construed as derogatory to the federal government or the nation al flag.
 q not only respect, I worship the flag of my country" the Gov ernor said at a news conference He said it did not seem oppro- priate for the U. s. flag to be dis played in a position of dominance on a state building.
 The question arose because of the long absence of the national flag from the State Capitol flag staff. The governor said, the U. s. flag twill go back as soon as an- other staff is erected.
 Almond said the policy has no connection with the controversy over the authority and powers of the states and the federal govern ment.

E. Germany Will Allow West
 German Traffic
By SEYMOUR TOPPING

BERLIN, tR - East Germany signed an agreement today assur- ing West German civilian traffic freedom of movement in and out of West Berlin, authoritative sources said.
 The reported agreement, at the height of a new crisis over the isolated old German capital has no effect, however, on the explo- sive question of control of west ern allies supply lines to the di- vided city.
 Rather, it appeared to be an as- surance to the 2,2O0,O0O West Der liners that they will not be affec- ted when and if the Soviet Union pulls out of the four power occu- patton agreement and turns con- trol of allied supply lines over to Communist East Germany.
 In the 1948- -49 blockade, the So- viet Union not only stopped mill tary traffic but civilian as well This created the need for the airlift.
 Under present circumstances, an airlift would be designed to support only the 10000 allied fighting men plus Western civi- lian officials and their families.
 The bulk of West Berlin's sup plies moves from West Germany over a 110-mile highway rail link and a network of canals.
 Western military traffic uses these same lifelines. However, it is checked through Soviet controls as agreed under postwar four power agreements.
 The United States, France and Britain do not recognize East Ger many and refuse to have any deal ings with its regime. @ |,
 Sources said the East-West Ger man agreement also provided for an exchange of West German steel for East German soft coal, mainly for the suppy of Berlin.
 The West Germans have always felt they hold a trump card with the East Germans in the Berlin dispute because of the interna- tional trade issue. East Germany is anxious to continue interzonal trade in order to help fulfill it's ambitious economic plans.
