The coroner's preliminary
examination indicated Mr..
Nickens had been dead two or
three hours before the body
was found, which would place
the time Of death at Q or 10
pm. An autopsy will be per-
formed today to determine how
many bullets penetrated his
body.
Mr.. Nickens, a native Of
Manassas, Va, was described
by his son, Theodore, jr., today
as "a very quiet man who

"Escorting" the Russians
were Navy FAB Phantom and
F-8C Crusader fighters. The
Phantom flies at more than
twice the speed of sound
mach % and the Crusader at
Just below Mach 2.
Comdr. Lake would not say
how closely the Navy fighters
flew to the Russian planes. He
said, however, that they we're
not close enough to see the
expressions on the Russian
pilots faces.
The Forrestal did not permit
the Russians to make length
wise passes overhead. The ship
turned to permit a sidewise
pass. Comdr. Lake explained.
In wartime the sidewise pass
would give an enemy bomber
less advantage In an attack.

Lighter Cone
For Missiles

CAPE e "A N A v X II A Il, Fla.
Mar. 2 (AP).-The propelling
Of an advanced nose cone over
a 5,000-mile route has launched
an extensive United States pro-
gram to develop the most ef-
fective means of delivering mis-
sile warheads to enemy targets.
An Atlas missile successfully
boosted the nose cone yester-
day. The flight inaugurated
Project ABRES, which stands
for advanced ballistic re-entry
systems.
The purpose Of the program,
expected to require more than
20 launchings over a three-year
period, is to develop a new FAM
lily Of nuclear warheads capable
Of battling enemy defenses and
reaching targets as swiftly as
possible with the largest posi-
bic nuclear yield.
Scheduled for testing are
nose cones able to maneuver
in space TO elude radar and
anti missile rockets; new,
lighter-weight protective mate
rails to cope with re-entry heat
and increase nuclear potential,
and warhead decoys to confuse
radar and other detection de-
vices.
The Atlas was launch e d

Advocates said the measure
was designed to avoid splitting
Democratic votes between the,
two factions to the benefit Of
Republicans, and to touch off
similar moves in other South

They hoped to win enough
electoral votes to keep either
major candidate from winning
the election, thus allowing the
South to bargain for civil
rights concessions in return for
their votes or to get a conser-'

Gated a man in the 1900 block
Of Columbia road NV, who
said the suspect had formerly
lived there. They also found

Inspector Nunzio Bonaccorsy
said the suspect came to the
attention Of police yesterday
when he tried to cash a check
for merchandise in Garfinckel's
at Fourteenth and F streets
NV. about 5 pm. When a
clerk became suspicious of the
man, he left the store and po-
lice were called. AS soon as
the clerk described the man to

tectives, they recognized him
from the Virginia State lookout
as the suspect in the Staunton
bad-check case.

The operator called police
and then located Mr.. Hoover
at the school. When Mr.. Hoover
