ExpL Missile lodes In Silo CAPE CANAVERAL, a (AP) Minuteman missile flew wildly out of control and crashed in flames on the Cape today as it was launched for the first time from an underground silo. A rush of flame and smoke burst pit as the missile ignited. Seconds later the 58-foot Minuteman darted through the smoke cloud and pitched out of control, tumbling back onto the launch area. The impact sent a huge ball of fire hundreds of feet into the sky. The Air Force said initial reports indicated no injuries to personnel.

Members of the launch crew were in a concrete-reinforced blockhouse several hundred feet from the subterranean pad. There was no immediate report on damage. The fire continued to burn for some time after the explosion. The Air Force announced that the missile "exploded as it left its launching silo. Thc flight was scheduled as part of the research and development program of the Minuteman weapon system." An official said the flaming missile impacted in the Minuteman launch complex, which includes two underground launch silos, two regular land launching pads, two blockhouses and other facilities.

The three-stage solid-fuel rocket was aimed at a target more than 4,000 miles down the Atlantic range on a firing which the Air Force hoped would carry Minuteman a long way toward its operational goal of mid 19(52.

Today's defeat for the administration came swiftly after the House began business. The tip came when the coalition of Republicans and conservative Democrats passed up a chance to delay the bill for another week.

That indicated that they were sure of their strength and wanted to bury the bill. The measure defeated today was only a remnant of the one the Kennedy administration originally wanted. Under the little-used Calendar Wednesday procedure, the roll of House committees was called al- phabetically shxxntly atfiter the House met ait noon. Rep. Adam Clayton Powell, D- N.Y., chairman of the Education Committee, was allowed to call up the bill when his turn on.the list came.
