Minutemun Fails
In Test Launch

CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla.
May 18 (AP) "A Minuteman
missile failed in flight last
night about go seconds after II
was launched on an intended
5,000-mile test flight.
The rocket blasted out Of an
85-foot-deep underground silc
and appeared to fly a true
course until the first stage
burned out and separated. A
shower of flaming fragments
filled the sky.
The Air Force said the rocket
did not explode. An announce
ment reported it malfunctioned
and fell short of its goal.
The missile was testing COM
ponents for the advanced
Wing-2 Minuteman, being de-
veloped for greater range, ac-
curacy and payload capability
than the operational Wing-l
model.

U. Diplomats
Avoid Contact
With DuVaIier

The United States has i'm
posed a limited diplomatic
boycott against the Haitian
government of Francois Du-
Waller as a sign Of disapproval
while it debates whether
stronger action is advisable.
A State Department spokes-
man said last night that
United States Ambassador Ray
mond Thurston and his staff
at Port au Prince have avoided
all contact with the Duvalier
regime since Tuesday.
The spokesman said United
States relations with Haiti have
not been suspended. Mr..
Thurston is to continue in his
post, the spokesman said, pend
ing a further decision on what
United States policy should be.
The extremes of choice are
either to deny DR.. Duvalier any
recognition whatever and
thereby sever diplomatic rela-
tions or to accept the fact that
he continues to rule the coun-
try despite recent strong OPP
position and a dispute over the
legality of his regime.
A middle ground course
might be to withdraw Mr..
Thurston and thereby reduce
the level of diplomatic contact
But policymakers here are
known to believe Mr.. Thur
ston's continued presence, al
least for a time, is important
for the protection of the hun
dreds of United States citizens
still in Haiti.
DR.. Duvalier's first term al
Presient ended Wednesday, but
he contends he was elected tt
a second term-banned by thu
Haitian constitution-in 1861.
His decision to continue il
office has caused political un
rest, met by DR.. Duvalier witt
countermeasures the State De
partment has described as
virtual reign Of terror.
At one point, troops of tn
Dominican Republic massed 70
an invasion. The Dominican
Republic, which shares tn
Caribbean island of Hispaniol
with Haiti, claimed Haitial
troops threatened the Domini
can Embassy at Port au Prince
The situation has quietel
down over the last several days

said yesterday it continues +

Why, he asked Mr.. Steven
son, didn't he use the United
States Mission building for en-
tertaining.
"They have wall-to-wall car
peting there" he said.
Mr.. Stevenson said, as a mat
ter of fact, he did receive peo-
pie there, and he had a meeting
scheduled in one of its rooms
for the Area Directors of the
Peace Corps.
THAT is very important" "
said Mr.. Gross, forebearing to
utter his views on the Peace
Corps. THAT is very impor-
tant."
Mr.. Stevenson pointed out
that New York is one of the
most expensive towns in the
world and that since United
States diplomats serving there
got no housing allowance like
diplomats abroad, they should
at least get some help finding
quarters suitable for entertain
ing.
Representative Gross was
still nursing his suspicion that
people were having fun and
sending the bill to Uncle Sam.
He should have followed Mr..
Stevenson into the corridor

asked him about the social life

After Exciting 2 Doys

after all, the great surprise
Of people who sometimes don't
bother even to turn their heads
TO watch huge rockets bore
holes in the sky.
Henri Landwirth, the man
ager Of the Cape Colony Inn Of
which the astronauts own a lit
tie piece, had a gimmick dur
ing the flight. He kept orbital
data up TO date on the motel's
big Illuminated announcement
sign out front for the benefit
OF drivers along Florida Route
ALA. He could have saved
himself the trouble; but for the
publicity value. everybody here
abouts knew where Gordo was.
Not since John Glenn's
first orbital ride In February
Of 1862 have people shown evil
dence OF such personal involve
ment - an involvement that
began long before "Gordo" got
into trouble late in the flight.
That Nap on Launch Pad
The source OF this feeling OF
involvement is difficult to de-
termine. Maj. Cooper is a hard
lad 10 identify here - harder by
far than Wally Schirra, harder
even than the somewhat big
ger-than-life Glenn. But the
feeling Of involvement existed.

Mr.. Mansfield said Mr.. Ken

arrangement, under which all
of the six other original astro-
nauts also will be invited to
attend a session at which Mr..
Cooper will give some of his
impressions Of his 34-hour
space flight.
A Joint meeting was ad-
dressed last year by John
Glenn, the first of the Amer
ican team to go into orbit.

Milan became the temporary
choice following the Easter
Monday announcement that
Mrs. Kennedy expects her third
child late in August. Prior to
that, she had planned to ac-
company her husband on a
June state visit to Rome. The
state visit has been postponed
until early 1864.
Politics a Factor
Mr.. Kennedy's planning for

been influenced by the compli-
Gated political situation in that
country.
Following April election losses
Prime Minister Amintore Fan

cratic Party have been presiding
over a caretaker government
And the situation may not fl
nally be resolved until July
after Kennedy's visit.
Mr.. Fanfani, in his present
position, is not likely to make
new policy commitments. In
this situation, it may seem
more imperative to Mr.. Ken

President Kennedy, the Ma
tion's first Roman Catholic
chief executive, will meet in
Italy next month with Pope
John XIII, the ailing leader
Of his faith.
Mr.. Kennedy once planned
to defer an audience with the
81-year-old pontiff until he
makes a scheduled state visit
to Italy with Mrs. Kennedy
early next year. He changed
plans because Of the Pope's
failing health.
There have been published
reports that Pope John has
cancer. In recent public ap-
pearances, he has looked gray
and drawn.
Mr.. Kennedy is expected to
leave for Italy on June 20 and
spend two or three days there
before flying on to West Ger
many and Ireland.
Site Not Decided
ARRANGEMENTS for the papal
audience for Mr.. Kennedy are
being arranged in exchanges
between United States officials
and the Vatican. No meeting
site has been selected, but the
pontiff's quarters in the Vat
lean or his nearby summer
palace, Castel Gondolfo, seem
the most likely choices.
At this point, it is virtually
certain Mr.. Kennedy will con-
duct his working sessions with
Italian government officials in
Rome. AS recently as a month
