 "At this point" Peavley said, There were only two other per sons in the house at the time of Mrs. Lafflee's burning, as far as can be determined. Both claim to have been too drunk to rememb- CT what went on. There are sev- era. breaks in their stories

Skindivers Recover Space Capsule
 From Pacific

HICKAM AIR FORCE BASE, Hawaii lR - Success of parachut- ing skindivers in recovering a Discoverer capsule ejected from space may mean the U. s. Air Force is ready to put a chimpan- zee into global orbit
 The Air Force said it was thoroughly pleased with the re- covery by a team of skindivers who leaped 1000 feet into the Pacific near Hawaii Sunday to retrieve an instrument-packed capsule. The data-gathering cap sule was ejected from orbiting Discoverer XIV after a space ride of 50 hours and 3 minutes.
 The skindivers and the cap- sule were picked up today by the Navy escort destroyer Radford and are expected to reach Homo lulu tonight. The Air Force said the divers and their prize were in excellent condition.
 The capsule will be flown to Sunnyvale, Calif, for analysis of information it gathered in orbit.
 The Discoverer package fell north of the planned impact spot and waiting Air Force planes were unable to make an aerial catch But that didn't dampen the Ali Forces jubilation.
 Recovery by the skindiver' really worked" said a spokesman 'We know now we can get any thing that comes back from space"
 Three skindivers, training for months for chance at recovery, parachuted with a rubber life raft to take the capsule in tow. They rolled it into the raft and then Hated the boat. Then then climbed aboard and settled down to wait the arrival of the Rad ford.

Expect Tractor Committee To Reject Castro Demand For S28 Million in Tractors

DETROIT tR - The Tractors for Freedom Committee was ex- pected late today to reject Cuban Prime Minister Castro's demand for $28 million in light farm tractors for the release of some 1,200 invasion prisoners.
 The committee originally offer ed to swap 500 tractors for the Cuban rebels.
 Castro last week told a four man team of American technical experts in Havana that he would accept the farm type tractors only if their value was $28 million.
 Sources close to the committee said the rejection of the offer will leave it up to Castro whether negotiations are to be continued.

Maritime Strike Pull Further Apart

NEW YORK tR - Negotiators in the maritime strike which has paralyzed segments of the na- tion's merchant fleet were further apart today after heated charges of attempted bribery and di- visive tactics.
 There were predictions on both sides that the strike, which began last Thursday at midnight, would be a long one.
 More than 100 ships have been immobilized in the nations ports.
 The attempted bribery charge was made Sunday by Jesse M. Calhoon, chairman of the Nation al Committee for Maritime Bar gaining, group representing sev- eral unions.
 Calhoon charged that American Merchant Marine Institute had attempted to "bribe us by offering a substantial economic package if we will drop the runaway-flag issue from our demands"
 The accusation was denied by Ralph E. Casey, president of the Merchant Marine Institute. He accused Calhoon of flying in his teeth" and said he also would welcome a congressional investi- gation.
 The runaway-flag issue is main obstacle to a settlement. It in- wolves American-owned sh D S which sail under foreign flags.
 The unions want the right to organize the crews on these ships. They contend that American sea- men are being discriminated against by the practice of hiring foreign crews on the vessels
 Wage scales on such ships are lower than on American-flag vessels. The companies insist the practice is necessary in order to compete with foreign vessels.

Name of Pontius Pilate Found on a Stone
 On the Coast of Israel

JERUSALEM tR - An Italian archaeologist said Sunday the carved name of Pontius Pilate has been found on a stone on the Mediterranean Coast of Israel.
 Archaeological and b b i C l scholars said it was the first time archaeological evidence has been found of the Roman Procurator of Judea who ordered the Cru cifixion of Christ. Heretofore his name has only been known through the gospels and the writ ings of the Jewish historian, JoSephus Flavius.
 Announcement of the find was made by Prof. Antonio Frova, director of the Antiquities De- partment of Northern Italy, who said a University of Milan arch geological expedition found it near Caesarea, about 10 miles south of Haifa. Caesarea was the capital of the Romans in Palestine for about 500 years
