"All three women were most helpful to the school," Dr. Bergmann said, "and this is a great loss to Rose.

"There is no question but tha Red China May Explode Third Unclear Device WASHINGTON (UPI) officials Wednesday night predicted that Red China would explode its third nuclear device "within the next few weeks." The said intelligence received in recent days disclosed that preparations were complete, but that weather and other factors made it impossible to be more accurate as to the exact timing of the blast.

The United States predicted China's first success in exploding an atomic bomb two weeks before it happened on Oct. 16, 1964. Secretary of State Dean Rusk publicly announced the imminence of that blast. U.S. officials also said, about a month before the second Chinese nuclear explosion in May, 1965, that it would happen shortly.

That test apparently was delayed two or three weeks by weather conditions. The United States has told its Allies of what it considers the certainty of a third Chinese blast within a short time. U.S. officials are expected to make a public announcement may call at the Pulliam Funeral Home after 3 p.m. Friday.
