first wife and bore him two
sons, one of whom, Julian, jr.,
she said is now 10. The other
died.
Mrs. Harper said she was
upset that newsmen found her
through a telephone call she
made to inquire about funeral
arrangements for Capt. Har-
vey. She said she did not plan
to attend but would give her
son the opportunity to go. Mrs.
Harper said she was married
to Capt. Harvey in the early
1940s and was divorced from
him about 3 years later.
Another former wife of Capt.
Harvey was believed living in
West Florida. Her name was
not known.
The bridge plunge near Eglin
Field was in 1919.
Harvey, then a lieutenant
colonel at the base, told officers
at the time that he was thrown
clear as the car dived into the
water but the two women were
trapped inside.
The Bluebelle was the third

Ranger toward a. landing on
the moon early next year.
A powerful Atlas Agena
rocket blasted off from Cape
Canaveral at 3:12 am. (EST)
without trouble. Within 10
minutes the Agena second stage
settled into a parking" orbit
around the earth at a speed of
$4,000 miles an hour.
After coasting for IA minutes
on this course, the Agena was
to have re-ignited to increase
the speed to $4,000 miles an
hour and kick the 675-pound
Ranger 2 free on a deep space
trajectory.
Second Ignition Fails
But the second ignition ap-
parently did not occur and the
Agena and Ranger 2 continued
in an orbit ranging from las
to "a miles from the earth.
Several hours later, officials
reported that tracking data
showed the two vehicles sep
arated. They were travelling
very close together in their
identical orbit paths.
The Ranger l launching met
a similar fate last August %.
Agena re-ignition failed on that
shot, too, because of a faulty
pressure switch in the engine.
But the two vehicles did Sepa-
rate and spun in low earth orbit
for several days before being
dragged to fiery destruction in
the earth's atmosphere.

Crossing Nation

An American Airlines Astra-
jet "a Boeing 100 set a record
this morning for a flight from
Los Angeles to Friendship Air
port near here. It's top speed
was 1876 miles per hour.
The jet, with 81 passengers
and eight crew members
aboard, crossed the Continent
in 3 hours and So minutes
edging by three minutes an
old record, set on January 3
1860. Vice President Nixon was
a passenger on the January 3

ployed today.
Very Disheartening'
James D. Burke, of the Ma

Administration jet propulsion
laboratory, told newsmen the
failure was very disheartening.
I'VE don't know what hap
pened and probably won't for
several days after we've had a
chance to study radio informa-
tion," Mr.. Burke said. "Indica-
lions are that We probably will
have to have another Agena We
hicle test of some sort before
we proceed with the lunar land
ing mission"
Mr.. Burke said clear signals
were being received from the
Ranger payload but they are
doing us little good because
Ranger 2 was intended to
gather information from far
out in space"
Phase two of the Ranger pro-
gram was scheduled to COM
mence in January. Then Ranger
8 is to attempt to take tele-
vision pictures of the moon and
land a small payload on its
surface to radio moonquake and
temperature information.
Phase three, starting with
the sixth shot, will have a
Ranger snap TV pictures of the
moon before craSh-landing

Careless Smoking" Blamed
A resident house maid, Mrs
Lula Lee, As, also was rescued
after a fireman braved flames
to pull her through a burning
attic window.
According to Deputy Fire
Marshal Warren c. Kelly, the
fire started in Mrs. Gray's bed
room because of careless
smoking" Marshal Kelly es-
timated damage to the entire
house as extensive"
Fourth Battalion Chief Fran

count of the tragedy:
FLAMES were jumping out

companies. We heard a woman
screaming somewhere in the

a 45-foot ladder that other
firemen had placed alongside
the house, spotted Mrs. Lee,
the maid, standing near an
open window, reached through
the flames and dragged her to
safety.
Chief ODonnell said the
maid had been trapped in the
third-floor attic. The fire had
blocked the stairway leading
to the second floor.
Three Others Saved

Mrs. Rockefeller was reported
staying in New York last night

/ Although neither was avail
able for comment, a family
spokesman said the divorce will
be sought outside New York
because the only ground for
such action in the Empire State
is adultery.
He said it also would be
reasonable to assume that Mrs.
Rockefeller would petition for
the divorce.
The spokesman admitted the
couple already had been living
apart when the announcement
was made but declined to say
when the decision had been
reached to seek a divorce. The
spokesman said the separation
agreement was signed this
week in New York.

'Accid entail War

Sees Soviet,
u. S. Aware
OF Dangers
BY EARL H. V0SS
Star Staff Writer

Star Staff Writer
Secretary of State Rusk has
discounted the chances Of the
Berlin border clashes mush.
rooming into war and indicated
President Kennedy agrees with
his views.
In a press conference late
yesterday, Secretary Rusk de-
clared: Il do not believe that
we are in a serious danger of
what might be called a mis-
chance or accident here in this
situation"
Governments on both sides
understand the potential seri-
BUSINESS of this matter" Mr..
Rusk explained.
The Secretary's statement
was in response to questions
about this passage in President
Kennedy's speech Thursday in
Seattle: "At a time when a
single clash could escalate
overnight into a holocaust Of
mushroom clouds, a great
power does not prove it's firm
ness by leaving the task of ex-
ploring the others intentions
to sentrieS or those without
full responsibilities"
A reporter asked if this was
a statement of dissatisfaction
or disapproval of incidents on
the East Berlin border when
the United States forced its
officials in civilian garb past
East German guards.
Seriousness Understood
Secretary Rusk replied:
mo, 1 think this was not
that. I think it was a reference
to the fact that the govern
ments that are directly in
volved in this question of Ber-
lin do understand. and this
includes governments on both
sides, do understand the po-
tential seriousness of this
matter.
II personally, as have indi-
Gated to you before, I do not
believe that we are in a seri-
GUS danger of what might be
called a mischance or accident
here in this situation. The gov
ernmentS are very much in
volved with this, but neverthe-
less the governments have to
be in communication with each
other about these matters. It
is not something which can be
left to work out along the lines
OF chance happenings with
gap in communication among
the governments concerned"
Officials explained later that
Mr.. RuSk's point was that both
sides were we'll aware of the
danger of flash fire" on Ber-
lin. They pointed out that
several hundred tear-gas gre
nadeS have been exchanged
across the East Berlin wall by
now, yet neither side has al
lowed the incidents to escalate.
I'VE doubt they will" one
responsible official said.
If the Russians wanted TO
start World War III, this source
observed, they'd suddenly let
US have it."
Atomic Testing Cited
1t is not Soviet respect for
world opinion that holds the
Kremlin back, officials OBJ
served, pointing out that the
Russians have shown their con-
tempt for world opinion once
again in their resumption of
testing and the explosion of the
57-megaton bomb.
Secretary Rusk said the Com
munist-built wall dividing Ber-
lin certainly ought not to be
a permanent feature of the
European landscape"
Chancellor Konrad Adenauer
of West Germany, who is to
confer with President Ken
nedy and Secretary Rusk next
week, was reported from Bonn
to have advocated making re-

HELSINKI, Finland, Nov. 10
(AP( Renewed Russian pres
sure for Soviet-Finnish consul
tationS on joint defense was
viewed gravely by the Firms
today.
a source close to Finland's
government explained that its
policy has been Ito avoid, if
possible. an agreement with the
Russian view that there really
exists an immediate threat of
war in the Baltic area"
However" he said, 1T now
looks as if we have been driven
into a one-way street."
The Soviet prod took the
form of a declaration by First
Deputy Foreign Minister Vastly
V. Kuznetsov to Finnish Am
basSador Euro A. Wuori in Mos
COW Thursday. Mr.. Kuznetsov
said alarming news" made a
threat of West German ag-
erosion seem even worse than
on october 80, when Moscow
first asked for the consulta-
tions. He claimed there was
a direct threat to the security
of both nations and called for
Joint talks as soon as possible.
Cites Three Events
The news he cited came I'M
der three headings:
/. The visit of West German
Defense Minister Franz Joseph
Strauss to Norway, like West
Germany a member of the
North Atlantic Alliance, and his
talks there on military Coop
Grafton. Mr.. Strauss has said
these concerned, among other
things, Norwegian technical
assistance on fallout shelters
and organization of home
guards.
2. Imminent NATO maneu-
verS off Baltic islands of Den
mark, another member of the
alliance.
8. Reports in Danish news
papers that a Danish West
German agreement on a joint
command would soon be
reached.
Russia's october 80 request
for defense consultations was
based on the terms of a friend
ship treaty with Finland signed
in 1913.
New Elections Due
President Urho Kekkonen's
regime has neutrality and indie
pendence as its avowed goals.
1t has been hoping to avoid
talks with the victors in the
1939-40 winter war about Joint
defense measures against the
alleged German threat. The
President Wednesday dissolved
the 200-member Finnish Par
lament and set election of a
new Parliament for February
AS.
A Helsinki newspaper, HUI
vudstadsbladet, asked editori-
ally a question that was in the
minds of many politicians:
What has increased the
anxiety in Moscow"
The newspaper had no direct
answer. But it pointed out the
three reasons given by the
Russians for their demand that
the Finnish government send
a delegation to Moscow were
all based on facts known for
some time.
