 As the Thor neared the firing altitude = believed to be 30 to 40 miles a safety officer of Joint Task Force 8 ordered the rocket destroyed. The announcement said only that the tracking system mall functioned.
 The failure followed two 24 hour postponements of the explosion the first of three or four blasts in the current Pacific series. The postponements were not officially explained but reports in Honolulu blamed cloudy weather and pos sib1e technical difficulties.
 Joint Task Force had no word when another shot will be attempt ed. "They want to analyze this one before they say anything fur ther,o a spokesman said.
 The United States went ahead with the shot despite a Soviet gov esnment charge from Moscow Sun day that the test would sscarry the nuclear arms race into outer space The Moscow complaint said the high-altitude blast could disrupt communications, endanger astro- naut flights and change the weather" "
 A spokesman for Joint Task Force 8 said, let them cornpain. They know more about these tests than we do. That's what we're trying to find out"

FAA Studies
 Ways to Combat AirpIane Bombing
By vern IIaugland

By Vexn Haugland WASHINGTON tR The Fed eral Aviation Agency said Satur- dau if has aandar way a rIiartas.- million dollar research program aimed at combating airplane bombings.
 A major portion is centered on the possible seeding of all ex- plosive materials with inert radio isotopes. The presence of such ma teriaIs could be detected with Geiger counters.
 Other possible measures include use of x-rays and microscopes, moisture analysis magnetic re- action, and even training animals to detect the distinct odor of nitro glycerine.
 The agency long has refused to discuss sabotage prevention pro- grams for fear of publicity that might stir psychopathic individuals into action.
 However. the recent suspected bombing of Continental Airlines jet plane has convinced some of ficiaIs it is time to answer queries on this subject = to de monstrate that the agency is not standing idle.
 An FAA spokesman said the agency's current budget provides about $50, 1000 for the studies.
 Primarily the work has involved the radioistopoes approach under a project started by former FAA Administrator E. R. Quesada, with the cooperation of the Atomic Energy Commission.
 This study was completed by Catholic University last fall. A report, still not made public, has
 been presented to FAA Adninis- trator N. E. Halaby.
 Recently the FAA decided tc undertake laboratory studies tc
 test solutions suggested by the Catholic University project. The FAA has set aside $I25, ,00O for this study in the fiscal year starting next month, and a like sum for the fiscal year following
 The work would be aimed at de- termining how much s'branded' material would be required to identify it through luggage. Am other question is the duration re- qlired of the radioactive material.
 The work will include studies at the FAA Experimental Center at Atlantic City, stimulating bomb de tection efforts.
 One technique under study is placing airplane luggage iii an inverted bomb shelter. Microwaves then would be introduced to ex- plode any triggering caps present.
 The FAA acknowledges all of the techniques have drawbacks, and none may be completely effective.
 The nuclear seeding of US. explosives, for example, would not solve the problem of bombs fash- toned in other countries or made of black powder drained from or dinary shotgun shells. Nor would 1t solve the fact that most of the materials for dangerous explosives may be purchased at d corneF drugstore

Farmville Owned
Confederate Cemetery
Improvements Planned
BY BILL WALL

The Farmville town council
was considerably surprised re-
Gently to learn that the town
owns five acres of land in Cum
berland county. which none of
the councilmen knew about. The
land was conveyed to the town
for Sl75.25 on December l..
1863. 1t is the location of the
Confederate Cemetery jus t
across the river in Cumberland
county.
Many members Of the Farm
vile chapter of the United
Daughters Of the Confederacy
were well aware of the town
ownership, and now the town
will join with the UDC members
to properly maintain this sa-
cred heritage of the past.
Four members of the UDC
chapter met Wednesday with
town manager T. w. Bloomfield
and H. w. Derey to look over
the property and discuss what
should be done to improve this
cemetery.
The first step will be to have
the property surveyed to deter
mine the exact boundaries. Then
the underbrush and small trees
will be removed so the halloWed
ground can be kept in good con-
dition by the use of moving
machines, etc.
After proper study it is hoped
that parking spaces can be
added adjacent to the cemetery,
making the spot more &C
ceSSible. With increased interest
in Civil War history during the
centennial period. the Confeder-
ate cemetery is an added at
traction for this area. along with
Sayler's Greek and the Appomat-
tox surrender grounds.
