News Capsules By United Press International Suez: Cease-Fire
Egypt said Monday it would not accept another extension of the current cease-fire unless a timetable is set for Israel withdrawal from Arab territory. In a speech to the Egyptian Parliament, President Anwar Saddat said "I will not accept an extension of the cease-fire in one case—when we agree to another extension because the matter will be turned into a series of delays and procrastinations which could result in a further delay," released by the semi-official Middle East News Agency.
Tel Aviv; Plane Crash
A Trans World Airlines 707 jet cargo carrier taking off on a flight to Europe crashed into an Israeli air force Stratocruiser being towed on the runway of Tel Aviv Air Force Base in the southern city of Beirut by explosions and fire. Two Israel ground workers were killed and two others injured in the freak accident. The three American crewmen of the jet plane scrambled to safety TWA pilot Capt. D. Meyerholz told newsman his crew was shot down and crashed into Israeli vegetables and nylon stockings, had just reached takeoff speed when he spotted the lights of the Stratocruiser looming in the darkness ahead. "I tried to veer off to the right and was heading of the ashpit but I missed the stratoscanner and then we felt a tremendous bleed," he said.
Argentina: Homes Looted
BUENOS AIRES—Terrorists armed with guns and chains invaded the homes of three U.S. military men and a woman, who were held hostage by a series of such attacks. The wives of two of the men—who were on their way to work at the U.S. embassy when the simultaneous attacks occurred—were knocked to the ground in an attack by the group's escape. Hundreds of Argentine federal police threw up roadblocks on major arteries of this capital of 8.5 million people, arresting the car trucks to no avail and caused long traffic snarls.
Kansas: Explosive Trial
WICHTHA—The trial of a man who allegedly threatened to "blow up the National Guard or anyone who got in the way," reportedly at the University of Kansas, opened with a lecture by the investigator whose parents live in Middletown, Ohio, is charged with criminal use of explosives and creating a hazard. He was arrested Sept. 2 after an investigation by Wichita police officer Jeffrey Scales. During his arrest signed sworn statements that Simpson told them he would "blow up the National Guard or anyone who got in the way." Subsequent investigation revealed that he planned to use dynamite at the University of Kansas.
Capital: Rail Cutback
WASHINGTON, D.C.—The government proposed 16 major routes for a striped-down national rail network designed to save the vanishing passenger train. It said the plan would help the railroad maintain trains and cut service by 15 per cent. Transportation Secretary John A. Volpe told a news conference the system linking major cities would be operated by the semi-public Railway Passenger Corporation created by the federal highway agency that allows cleaner, faster service a plus for the railroads.
N.Y.C.: Alf Landon
Alf M. Landon of Topeka, former Republican presidential candidate, favors repeal of the Federal Communications Commission "fairness doctrine." He also repeals the current provision calling for equal time to all candidates. I advocate that the electronic media network would release the present objection without the present obligation to offer the same amount of time to minor party candidates. Landon also said he would not allow Nixon to broadcast a live broadcasting bill. He said Nixon was right, "not so much because the bill is discriminatory in that it applies only to the president and not little to curtail the total expenditures of a candidate."
Virginia: Conviction
RICHMOND—The Virginia Supreme Court upheld the conviction and 25-year prison sentence of John Pattler for killing a police officer in George L. Rockwell Rockwell. Rockwell was shot Aug. 19, 1967 from a rooftop as he got into his car at an Arlington shopping center. The Nazi Party chief claunched out of the apartment where he lived, and rear fender of his automobile. The court ruled that a lower court was correct in allowing some spent shells and ammunition to be removed from the mitt as evidence. The FBI testified in a ballistics report that the bullets matched those of the murder weapon. The court ruled that the bullet had been lent to Pattler by a fellow Nazi and never returned.

ADM. CHESTER BENDER, Coast Guard commander, said in a statement that he was charged of the incident "has not received specific advice from the Coast Guard."

Observatory Orbit Fails
Project officials said the fiberglass friction reduction failed to peel off from the rising rocket four minutes after launch as obviously was carried an extra eight minutes before freezing itself.
The loss was a severe blow to space astronomy and cost the U.S. government $80 million for the Atlas-Centaur rocket.
"This gave the vehicle extra weight to carry and that kept us on the ground for longer," Bruce T. Lundin, director of the Lewis Research Center, which managed the rocket. He said the mission would have taken seconds longer than planned, but ran out of fuel before it could compensate for the extra weight associated with it.
Defector Case 'Blunder'
This was indicated when a tracking station in the Canary Islands lost radio signals from the satellite earlier than and a station on Madagascar failed to pick up a radio report.
It was America's most important unmanned scientific mission of the year and astronomers were counting on it to provide them with the ciearest of distant stars and galaxies.
"We are now at the end of a lot of battles which the Christian Democrat is suffering a bitter defeat," said Giulio Christian Daniels and nudgger.
The telescope was launched at 5:40 p.m. EST. First reports from the rocket all had gone well and that the spacecraft had achieved orbit. The parent that the Centaur upper stage did not achieve the speed of the rocket.
Italian Legislature Votes on Divorce
ROME (UP1)—The Chamber of
History of Romania Monday makes
divorce legal for the first time
since 1815 in predominantly
French-speaking Romania.
A final vote, ending a five year battle over a divorce bill which drew the wrath of Pope Paul VI, was expected during the night.
Christian Democrat leaders conceded early Monday they had no chance of heading off passage of the measure, which the Pope attached several times as dangerous to life and family life.
The 630-member Chamber had chambered dozens of them proposed by the strongly Roman Catholic Senate, and the decisive vote came to measure. Italianans call the bill the "Little Divorce Law" because of its fearful character.
Shortly after he spoke, deputies rejected the first amendment 322-278, slightly less than the 31-vote
Liberal Massimo Alesi came down with trouble and Communist Luigi D'Angelo was hospitalized with kidney pain. Sessions after the advised some other deputies that they urgently needed rest.
The Senate already had approved the introduction of divorce for the first time since 1867, and Mr. McClellan peninsula in 1815. But its vote. One came after amendments in the Chamber of Deputies.
Court officials estimated that about one million persons were awaiting passage of the bill so they could file for divorce. But it might take up to a year to actually obtain a final decree.

As the Chamber approached the end of a week of nonstop debate on divorce, some of its victims were cracking of the strain under the strain.
Divore opponents warned that passage of the measure would mean much more for the state. The last such vote came when Italians reelected the monarchy

The Vigilant had taken a group of U.S. commercial fishermen and swamped the deflector jumped aboard while the two ships were side by side.
AS TO REPORTS the Americans stood by while the seaman was beaten and kicked in the face. The Soviets, Bender said, "I do not approve of the use of force on a plane to another nation, but I do recognize that considerable force was used to detonate the detector was resisting strongly."
He asked for specific instructions from the State Department on how to deal with future incidents, but the State Department said earlier it handles smaller "on a case by case basis."
Department spokesman Robert J. McCloskey told newsmen the Coast Guard had failed to make it clear whether the seisman had actually defected. The commander of the Vigilant was told, McCloskey said, that "we would not want to encourage defection" because it could have been a mistake.

McCloskey said the United States deeply regretted that he was killed in the Soviet invasion in a way that apparently ran completely counter to his own ideals.
Holiday Traffic Toll at 629
By United Press International
Final figures Monday showed that two pedestrian accidents during the fourday Thanksgiving holiday, a figure much less than preholiday numbers, will be hit by the National Safety Council.
The council had predicted 670 to 770 persons would be killed on highways during the peak travel
period which extended from 6 p.m. Wednesday to midnight Sunday.
The lower holiday period de-
tails in line with a year-long
toil is only a few months long,
even though there are 3.8 million
more cars on the road and 3
million more licensed drivers, a
safety council spokesman said.
It was an early sign of a

If General Electric can build an electric tractor, why can't they build an electric car?
General Electric is marketing a 14-horsepower rechargeable electric tractor capable of speeds up to 7 miles an hour.
Because Flec-Trak must travel at slow speeds to job its jobs, there are no aerodynamic energy losses to take into consideration.
We think it's a remarkable innovation. But an electric car it's not.
As a garden tractor for home use, *Electric trak* can take advantage of characteristics that would be distinct disadvantages in an electric car.
The availability of fuel is no problem for Elect-Tac. It's designed for limited use near electrified terrain or overnight on hot burning rocks.
The heavy weight of the battery, which would slow down a car, means greater applied traction for Electric Trak.
Still, one might expect Elex-Tac to be the forerunner of a pollution-free automobile. Perhaps it is. But the crucial problems lie to be solved.
The most important one, of course, is the development of a substantially better electric battery. Any car built today would be severely limited in range and performance, and probably prohibitively expensive.
General Electric is making progress on new batteries, but there's a long way yet to go.
We've experimented with zinc-
car batteries, sodium-sulfur batteries,
Silver-zinc batteries, Lithium-
halogen batteries. And others. There
are problems with all of them.
Part of the life-span, cost,
practicality.
Despite the problems, General Electric scientists and engineers are working for the breakthrough that will make electric cars possible.
Maybe the breakthrough is closer than we think. But we'll
continue to work and leave the predictions to someone else.
We're running this ad, and others like it, to tell you the things General Electric is doing to solve water pollution and his environment today.
Why are we running this ad?
The problems concern us because they concern you. We're a business and you are potential customers and employees
We invite your comments.

But there's another, more important reason. These problems will affect the future of this country and this planet. We have a stake in that future. As businessmen. And, simply, as people.
