Crew Hunts 4
Buried inCrash
Of Rocket Cell

TULLAHOMA, Tenn, Dec.
IL (AP).-Rescue workers dug
through a mass Of concrete
and steel at the bottom of a
25O-foot-deep rocket test cell
today, searching for four men
presumed killed in the collapse
OF a 304-ton, pie-shaped wedge
of concrete.
The freshly-poured concrete,
which set off a chain-reaction
collapse yesterday, was the
first of six segments designed
to cap the $40 million test cell.
1t crashed through floors
placed about so feet apart in
the huge hole, carrying addi-
tional tons of concrete and
steel to the bottom.
Hole Blasted
The 150-foot-d diameter hole
was blasted through Middle
Tennessee limestone for a ia
cility to simulate the atmos-
pheric conditions at 100000
feet for a rocket booster en-
CINE with a half-million-pou
thrust. The cell with its s.
foot thick concrete walls was
to be modified later to test
the l.5-million-pound thrust of
the Saturn booster.
Efforts to keep the concrete
soft by pouring in a ton Of
sugar were in vain. The sugar
landed on floors at upper levels
Of the test cell.
IF anybody is down there,
they're dead" said Mai r. E.
Wilder, public information Of
ficer at Arnold Engineering
Development Center, site of the
facility.
Pumps Knocked Out
The accident created an I'M
determined delay in the test
ing here of rocket boosters.
The collapse knocked out
pumps, and rising water at the
bottom hampered rescue
efforts.
The test cell had been un-
der construction since May,
1861. The atmospheric condi-
tons existing at high attitudes
are created by pumping the
pressure from the cell.
MIR. Wilder said all possible
safety precautions had been
taken, and he had no idea what
caused the accident.

Indira Gandhi, As, is Prime
Minister Nehru's only daughter.
A widow, she and her two chill
dren live in the spacious residence
Of the Prime Minister in New
Delhi. She Is her fathers conf
dant; she knows the paths
through the jungles Of Indian
politics and was president Of the
Indian Congress Party: she is now
a member Of its Working Com
mittee. To underestimate this shy
but politically alert woman as q
potential Prime Minister would be
a mistake. Her strength, like Lal
Bahadur's. lies In her ability to
unite factions within the party,
left and right, north and south,
and all castes would accept her,
perhaps as an interim Prime Min
ister. Has Mrs. Gandhi the re-
sources and the stamina to cope
with problems of such magnitude
as the quarrels with China and
Pakistan. the population explosion.
unemployment and the devisive
forces of linguism and casteism?
This Is the heart Of the matter.
But there would be. many COM
petent colleagues in the party to
rally around her and help her.

Jaya Prakash Narayan. so, is
an anomaly: q Gandhian once
populary expected to succeed
Nehru, now q non-party man
with barely an outside chance Of
doing so. Nevertheless this grave
and handsome political figure, ed
ueated at the University Of Wis
consin, formerly q Communist
and now an outright foe of COM
muniSm, cannot be ignored as q
possible Prime Minister Of India.
He fought early for India's inde-
pendence but quit the Congress
Party to form the Congress So
cialist Party: he quit that to form
the Praja Socialist Party; he quit
this five or six years ago to join
forces with Vinoba Bhave, a dis
ciple Of Gandhi. Jaya Prakash
advocates what he calls "partyless
democracy" and q new, nom
violent reorganization of society.
He may be waiting for the tide
to turn against the Congress Party,
when India may be ready for
a new government based more
upon the ideals of the Ma
hatma. Or, he may hope that
a call for reform may summon
him to the Congress Party itself.

REPORT FROM THE U.N
. Khrushchev Visit Considered Likely in Fall

jority. Russia's diplomatic vul-
nerability increases the likelihood
Of a Khrushchev visitation.
Whether the West viii be able
to exploit its strong position sue
cessfully remains to be seen.
Private feelers already have
gone out from the United States
to other key delegations to see
how much support there will be
for a demand that all States pay
their dues.
A good many countries seem
ready to go along. But some take
the line that public pressure on
Russia will harden her position
and make it impossible ever to
get the money. Some. others, in
cluding India. argue against "an-
tagonizing" the Kremlin at. this
juncture.
In the test-ban area, there Is
likely to be some sympathy for
the view that, because of the
danger Of radioactive contamina-
ton Of the Atmosphere danger
soon to be underlined In a new
o. N. report-any cessation of
tests, with or without inspection,
would be desirable. This senti-
ment would. of course, play into
Russia's hands.
But broadly speaking. observers
here feel that the West is in good
shape. There was progress this
past week in the Congo, which
should help discredit Soviet calls
for extreme action. Red China is
due for another rebuff. The United
States is successfully probing the

Indians predicted that Menon
would go out Of the cabinet-or
be thrown out when Nehru re-
tired; today Indians are not at
all sure Of this. Menon's influ-
ence skyrocketed after Goa and
the election victory in Bombay
in February. He is Nehru's closest
associate; he is q member Of i'm
portant cabinet committees other
than defense. A pro-Menon cadre
is forming in the cabinet and there
are Menon coteries in several
state ministries; four chief min
isters are well-disposed toward
him. His personal choices, with
few exceptions. fill high posts in
the armed services. The Commu-
mist Party Of India openly sup
ports him in Parliament, and a
blatant section Of India's maga-
zine press favors him, though the
newspapers almost unanimously
oppose him. Menon Is q bachelor,
an articulate and elaborate or
ator. and is admired ardently by
a few but mistrusted by many.

News Charges

This kind Of information had
never before been made public by
the Federal Government. It led
to some charges that the Kennedy
administration was manipulating
the news when NASA, which had
been withholding such informa-
ton because Of the fear it might
compromise American intelligence
activities, said this was q special
case prompted by a specific con-
gressional request.
Earlier in the week, Americans
had something positive to cheer
about in this country's space &C
tivities. Scientists at the Jet Pro-
pulsion Laboratory Of the Cali
fornia Institute Of Technology
sent a radio signal to the space
craft Mariner-2 and corrected its
flight path SO that it will pass
within 5000 miles of Venus on De-
cember IA and therefore, hope
fully, will report back long,
awaited information on the cloud
shrouded planet.
Unless there is an unexpected
hitch, the Mariner-2 project may
be the most remarkable unnamed
