 Even before this initial strike at the moon second attempt had beep ordered. The follow-up Air Force lunar probe attempt is ex- pected during three-day period starting Sept. IA. There was a distinct possibility the Russians might attempt to beat the US. deadline by one day.
 Plans for another moon rocket try were disclosed as the Air Force began fishing the explo- sion-torn debris of it's first lunar vehicle out of the Atlantic.
 Divers descended into 60 feet of water some 10 miles northeast of the Cape and came up with sections of the metal skin of the Thor 1,50O-mile-range missile that was the first stage of the moon rocket.
 The divers sought to retrieve as much of the broken missiles first stage as they could before sand buries it.
 The two upper stages = both borrowed from the Navy Van- guard program continued. on ward an undetermined distance with the lunar probe after the ex- plosion. It was not expected that that part of the wreckage would be recovered.
 Preliminary analysis indicated that the explosion occurred in the engine compartment of the first of the three rocket stages
 This was the first of five lunar probe attempts ordered for this year, three by the Air Force and two by the Army.

Herman Kierdorf Turns Himself In

PONTIAC, Mich, R-Herman Kierdorf, former Teamster Union official sought for two weeks in the fire death of his unionist nephew, gave himself up last night and said only, T have nothing to hide.o
 Other than that, his most ire quent remark in interviews with police and newsmen today was 'No comment"
 The 68-year-old ex-convict and one time business agent for a Teamster local, surrendered to authorities at a drive-in. restau- rant by pre-arrangement. .
 Kierdorf, who vanished Aug. 4, refused to say where he had hid- den.
 He vanished the same day his nephew, Frank Kierdorf, 56, stumbled into a Pontiac hospital with burns over 85 per cent of his body. Frank died four days later.
 Frank told police before he died that he had been burned de- liberately by two men. But police said their investigation disproved his story. They believe Frank, Flint Teamsters business agent, was burned while setting fire to a Flint dry cleaning shop.
 Herman insisted Frank, an ex- convict like himself, did not torch himself, accidentally or other wise.

Confident Eski1nos Will Vote For Statehood

Alaska Treasurer Hugh Wade and Delegate Bob Bartlett left Nome Sunday for Fairbanks via Kotzebue, expressing confidence that the Second Division will re- turn a predominantly prostate hood vote at the primary election on Aug. 26.
 The two territorial officials made a trip to Gambell Saturday. They were accompanied by Mike Walsh, Bob Blodgett and John McNees. On their return they predicted the vote on the island for statehood would be close to 100 per cent.
 In a statement issued before leaving Nome, Wade and Bartlett said
 ''We are increasingly convinced the reports that the Eskimo peo- pie are dissatisfied with state hood are merely rumors. All signs indicate a strong Eskimo vote favoring the three statehood pro positions. Taking the Second Div ision as a whole, our observations are that the people are strongly in favor of statehood and the three propositions on the ballot will carry by a large majority" :"

Two MilliOnaires To Run For
 Governor of NY.

ALBANY, NY, tR-Two multi millionaire socialites almost cer- tainly will fight it out this year for the governorship of New York.
 They are Democrat Averell Hartman, the incumbent gover- nor and Republican Nelson A. Rockefeller, philanthropist and head of the Rockefeller Brothers Foundation.
 Rockefeller was virtually as sured of the COP nomination when Leonard w. Hall, former COP National Chairman, with drew yesterday from the battle for the party endorsement. Harri- man is unopposed for nomination for a second four-year term.
 Hall, describing himself as a "political realist," quit the guber- material race yesterday. A short time later, the 1O6 member Brooklyn delegation to the state convention endorsed Rockefeller for the nomination.
 Their votes pushed Rocke- feller's pledged total to 485. It was uncertain where Halls 163 pledged votes would go, but Rockefeller appeared likely to get some.

Carpenter Union President Cited For Contempt

WASHINGTON, RS-The Sen ate today voted 87-0 contempt citations against Maurice Hutche- son, international president of the Carpenters Union, and 12 other balky or fugitive witnesses in its Racket Investigating Committees hearings.
 The action sends the cases to the Justice Department for hand ling like any other criminal charges.
 That is, the issue will be pre- sented to a grand jury, if indict- ments are returned, the defend ants will be entitled to a jury trial.
 Conviction of contempt of Con- gress is punishable by up to a years imprisonment and $1,000 fine.
 Sen. John Mcclellan, the Rack cts Committee chairman, asked his colleagues either to back up the committee in these cases or else disband it.
 The contempt accusation against Hutcheson was based on his refusal to answer questions about his financial dealings. He refused also to answer questions as to whether he misused union funds for his own benefit.

$8 Million Bonds Sold to Finance
 Anchorage Port

NEW YORK, R- The money for developing a major seaport at Anchorage, was turned over to the city today.
 Cheeks totaling $8,200,000 raised through selling municipal bonds, were handed to Anchor age Mayor Anton Anderson.
 Freight for Anchorage, and for belt served by rail reaching from there to Fairbanks in the interior, must now be brought to Anchorage by railroad.
 Anderson said the new port facilities were expected to be completed and in operation by the spring of 1860.
 He predicted the move will spur growth and industry in An chorage, already Alaska's fastest growing city.
 As part of the procedure, An derson faced an estimated II hours of signing some 8,200 bond certificates.
 Using a combination pen de- vice, which operated Is fountain pens each time he signed his name, he had to write his name almost 500 times.
 The money was raised by sell ing bonds to investors throughout the United States. The issues were put on the new financing market in July shortly after Con- gress voted statehood for Alaska, by syndicate of 28 underwriters.
 Proceeds of the bond issue will be used to build port facilities in Anchorage, which, at present, has only one pier, operated by the Army.

 Mrs. Anna Masevich, director of the Soviet .moonwatch program and a noted astronomer, said:
 "A failure in the scientific world is always a pity because it affects so many people"

 Of course there was no sun.
 But a few of the 150 delegates already in the annual convention camp shed their shirts, pants and shorts, or panties, dresses and bras, as the sex might be.
 Explaining why the few fe- males who stripped wore not the slightest semblance of clothes, Dr. Douglas Gibson, the camps press officer said:
 we definitely bar flimsies.~ of all kind"
 A reporter pointed to a dele gate wearing only a pair of socks and sandals.
 Socks" said Gibson, "are not flimsies. I'm speaking of those lacey, pantie things"
 The nudist, or naturist camp was formally opened over the weekend. It will end with the 9th World Naturist Congress Aug. 27 to 31.
 The convention is being held on the Emile square estate of the Duke of Bedford, known as Britain's best dressed peer. The duke set aside 50 screened acres for the nudists. He also promised to open the congress IT in his clothes.

The relative positions of earth and moon are more favorable for moon rocket launching from any site only three or four consecutive days each month. Because of the -212 days required to travel the 250,0OO miles from earth to moon, the rocket must be aimed at a theoretical point far ahead of the moon.
 This missile was the tallest rocket ever fired in this country, white-bodied, silver tipped 88- footer.

recent years, that your really
excellent sheet would seem TO
be fully justified in referring to

Der, beginning as of now. This
road already is shown on most
road maps, and has definitely
been marked 1855" 1t is but a
question of time land brief at

generally.
The sooner our journalists
adopt the official number, even
at the cost of an occasional SEN
timental twinge, the sooner and

learn where it is going, when
using these two highways. Let
240 be 240 and 355 be 355, and
whatever confusion may exist
over the change will soon disap-
pear.
To the motorist who uses
these routes frequently (and the
writer is one) it is of prime
importance that numbered roads
are accurately referred to, but
to the through traveller who
may seldom. if ever come this
way again, and who picks up a
local paper, as a great many
do, reference to "old 240" or
"Old Frederick Road" could very
easily result in some miles of

The mother wearied of the
