a clue.
During the day a man police
said spoke with a foreign accent
telephoned the Throne home
and demanded the ransom. The
anonymous caller did not give
directions on how the money
was to be delivered. He said he
would telephone again.

money in a lottery to raise
funds for Sydney'S opera house

was away from home when the
kidnapping occurred.
Premier Robert Heffron of

VIENNA, Austria, July Z
(AP) .-Nikita Khrushchev is
tired and his wife thinks he's
taxing his health.
Hes trying to do too much, "
Mrs. Khrushchev told a mem
ber of the official party that
accompanied the Soviet leader
on his 1,000-mile bus tour Of
Austria. Her face-u sually
wreathed in a smile-was
wrinkled with worry as she
confided her anxiety.
The 66-year-old Soviet leader
returned to Vienna last night
after cutting short his whirl-
wind trip through Austria's
mountainous countryside. So
Wet officials insisted to report
ers that negotiations with the
Austrian government and prep
arations for tonight's television
show made him shave "a hours
of his schedule.
II wish I was as healthy as
he is" said Soviet Foreign Min
lister Andrei Gromyko when a
reporter asked if Mr.. Khru-
shchev was i'll.
But the evidence that his
family and associates are anx-
ious about Mr.. Khrushchev's
health is obvious and there
seems to be cause for worry.
He is overweight and often
out of breath. He overeats.
He drives himself relentlessly.

Pioneer VS. Signals Fail
After q Million Miles

Pioneer v much longer than
had been anticipated for the
Swat transmitter, one of two
carried by the space probe.
Project scientists had figured
that the 5-watter would be good
for only about 20 million miles.
They had hoped that the ''big
voice" of the probe-a $50 watt
tranSmitter-might take over
permanently then and allow
contact for possibly 100 million
miles.
Batteries Leak
But some of the probes 28
distinguished batteries began
to leak. cutting their capacity
to hold the charge put into
them by cells which draw on
the suns rays. The battery
leakage was due to the vacuum
of space, NASA scientists said.
When the stronger, I50-watt
transmitter was turned on, it
became evident that its heavier
power drain was too much for
the batteries and it was turned
off.
The 5-watter again was
turned on, and, because of its
lesser power drain, it allowed
contact until several days ago.

Grandfather
Sets Record
InLiqht Plane

MINNEAPOLIS, Mimi, July
z (AP). - A tall man with
twinkling eyes sighed with re-
lief as his attractive wife
placed a hot compress on his
stiff knee.
I'm not a bit tired-right
now" said Max Conrad, a So
year-old flying grandfather.
But I wish 1 could get my
right knee to Straighten out"
Mr.. Conrad's remark came
as he pulled himself from his
Piper Comanche plane after
smashing the closed circuit
record for light planes.
He more than doubled the
mark set last year by Jire
Kunc, a Czech pilot. in flying
$500 miles from here to Chi
cago and Des MoineS, Iowa,
eight times. He still had gaso-
line left for another 500 miles,
he said.
He landed at Wold-Cham-
berlain Airport at 1888 last
night after so hours and 10
minutes without sleep. Mr..
Kunc's mark was 3,083 miles.
Mr.. Conrad, who has crossed
the Atlantic by light plane so
times and holds two trans
Atlantic records, embraced his
wife, Betty, and then retired
to a hotel. There she nursed
the stiff knee and they talked
about their family-10 chill

made the test, his wife said,
because he didn't want to sell

cause it wasn't the right
thing"
Mr.. Lindblad took only the
kit with him, no sleeping bag.
But he has a parka. The kit
has food concentrates and a

after you pull yourself out
of the lake.
He, his uncle and father
