The friend called state police, who notified Montpelier police.

Modica said he had no recollection of the accident and had apparently wandered off in a daze and had stayed at the apartment of a friend on Elm Street Saturday night. Chief Connor said his story was substantiated by a large bump on his head and said that bulance called to the accident scene, had met the boy on the road. Police said William F. Franks, 18, of Plain-field, driver of the car, was not injured, but another passenger, Reginald Holt, 22, Plainfield, was taken to Heaton Hospital for treatment of severe head cuts. Holt was discharged Sunday morning from the hospital.

'lift hp 'w, I fi By MAVIS DOYLE MONTPELIER Auxiliary Police and a large force of Montpelier Bicycle Patrol boys and their parents and neighbors, aided Montpelier police in an intensive search here Sunday morning for a boy who was believed to have been seriously injured in an auto crash on Towne Hill Road Saturday night. But Robert Modica, 19, of Plainfield turned up at 10:30 a.m. Sunday in a telephone booth on Elm Street and was happily reunited with his mother who had spent the entire night on Towne Hill searching for her son. The youth was riding on the right side of a station wagon which was demolished Saturday night at 10:27 when it crashed into a ledge on Towne Hill. People at the scene of the accident reported seeing Modica stretched out in the road but when the ambulance arrived, the youth was gone.

Only one of his shoes remained at the scene. Police immediately mobilized a search party and combed the woody terrain near the Heber England farm, fearing Modica had wandered away in a dazed condition and might succumb to injuries or exposure. Shortly after 3 a.m. Sunday, Police Chief George J. Connor took over direction of the search.

He called his Auxiliary Police and the older members of his Bicycle Patrol and an exhaustive search of the woods and swamps in the Towne Hill section was undertaken. "It was gratifying the way everyone turned out so early in the morning' declared Chief Connor, who added that not one person refused to respond to his call. He said not only did his bike patrol boys answer the call, but in many cases, their brothers and parents came along, too. Later in the morning, members of the Montpelier Pony Club assisted in the search, using their mounts to comb through the six-foot high grass in the swampy areas. When Modica was found, he had just com- Civil Defense worker carries megaphone as he and firemen walk through debris from explosion that struck Sixteenth Street Baptist Church in Birmingham Sunday.

(AP Wirephoto) Four Children Killed Two Youths Shot Senate Talk May Delay Treaty OK WASHINGTON (AP) Senatori-al speechmaking appeared Sunday the only serious barrier blocking formal ratification of the limited nuclear test ban treaty. Majority leader Mike Mansfield, said 11 senators had asked time for prepared remarks Monday. Ten more plan to discuss the pact Tuesday. "We will come in early and work late and hold a Saturday session if we have not reached a vote before then," Mansfield said. No Vote Changes Neither supporters nor opponents claim that any votes will be changed iby the continuing oratorical barrage.

Asked about this, Mansfield said in an interview; "At (this stage. it is my guess that practically every senator has made up his mind." Mansfield asked senators to start the second week of treaty discussion Monday two hours earlier than usual 9 a.m. EST and keep at it past the usual dinner-time quitting hour. The first of floor discussion brought only four changes in an Associated Press survey on the indicated vote: 11 senators still doubtful; 13 opposed; the remain-ing 76 committed or inclined to vote for it. Two-Thirds Needed Ratification requires a two-thirds majority, or 67 senators if all 100 vote.

Three shifts from the doubtful column to indicated support were Sens. Henry M. Jackson, Ernest Gruening, D-Alaska, and James B. Pearson, Sen. Milward L.

Simpson, lined up with opponents. Sen. Stuart Symington, D-Mo, a treaty supporter, said Sen. Richard B. Russell's announcement of opposition may have added 10 or 15 votes to the opponents.

The Georgia Democrat is chairman of the Senate Armed Services Committee and leader of the Southern senators. "I didn't think more than 10 of them (senators) would vote against it," Symington told Sen. Kenneth B. Keating, in a report taped for radio-TV use, "until Russell announced against the pact. "Now I would raise that and say it would be closer to 20 or 23.

But I am still confident that the treaty will be passed."

(AP Wirephoto) Fischer Quints Coming Along Fine BIRMINGHAM, Ala. (AP) -Four Negro girls were blasted to death Sunday and 23 persons were injured in the daylight bombing of a church, setting off more violence. Within hours after the dynamite explosion had shattered an ail-ready shiky racial calm, two Negroes were killed in shootings, and three other persons were wounded. Police said two white youths had shot fatally a Negro boy, 9 shortly after policemen had shot to death a Negro, 16.

Officers said the older boy had been killed as they fired over his head they saw him throwing rocks at cars. In another shooting, a white man was wounded by a Negro, police said. Another white man was wounded in a robbery attempt by a Negro. Rock-throwing by Negroes was reported in many sections. Leaders of the 125,000 Negroes pleaded against retaliation for the bombing, which brought a climax of horror to the city's first week of school desegregation.

Mayor Albert Boutwell urged everyone to keep off the streets. Leaders of a white segregationist group seeking to start private schools called off a rally. The bombing, which fanned racial fires to new heat, came during Sunday school. The lesson was "the love that forgives." Heavy police patrols roved the city as night fell. They sealed off the bomb-shattered church, used last summer as an assembly point for anti-segregation marches.

Gov. George Wallace rushed in 300 state troopers. The governor alerted 500 national guardsmen in Birmingham. Numerous policemen from surrounding towns and counties were called in. "The entire forces of the state will be utilized to maintain law and order," said Wallace in a statement." King Coming Dr.

Martin Luther King Jr. of Atlanta, the Negro minister who led a summer desegregation campaign here, prepared to come to Birmingham "to plead with my people to remain nonviolent in the face of this terrible provocation." King made a similar peace mis sion after the bombing of a Negro motel last May touched off rioting by Negroes. The motel is a block from the bombed church. Killed in the dynamite bombing were Cynthia Wesley, Carol Robertson and Addie Mae Collins, all 14, and Denice McNair, 11. They apparently were in a lounge in the basement of the old brick church.

Cynthia, hit by the full force of the blast, could be identified only by clothing and a ring. Cynthia and Carol were on the youth board of ushers. The other two victims were to have sung in the youth choir. This was youth day at Sixteenth Street Baptist. Police Lt.

Maurice House estimated that 10 sticks of dynamite made up the bomb which apparently was planted in a stairwell about four feet below ground level utside the building. Chunks of concrete, twisted 1 metal and shattered glass were hurled with bullet force against nearby buildings. Several cars were wrecked, twisted and ripped. Glass was everywhere. "It's just making hate," said a Negro bystander, 38-year-old An- sion at the hospital for part of the night before going home.

The babies early feedings are being done througn tiny tubes into their stomachs. Glucose and water feedings will be repeated during the day. Extra Nurses Three extra nurses have been added to each shift at St. Luke's hospital to care for the infants. Dr.

Berbos again said the first 72 hours are the critical ones for the babies. He repeated his estimate that the boy the fourth born weighs about four pounds, the girls between two and three pounds. They have not been weighed. Dr. Berbos said he felt "more confident" about the health of the quints.

Fischer and three of his children attended the 10:30 a.m. Mass at Sacred Heart Catholic church, where all of Sunday's Masses were dedicated to the family. Dressed in their Sunday best were Julie, who was 6 Sunday; Charlotte, who will be 7 Wednesday, and Danny, who will be 8 on Oct. 5. The (girls waved to photographers as they drove away in a battered 1953-model car.

Hires Lawyers Fischer, weary with questions, said he had hired a law firm to guard his interests. Under the usual hospital routine for premature babies, the quints will remain in their iso-Icttcs for the most part until they weigh five pounds. This may take as long as two months. drew Anderson, former professional fighter. "This town is gone now I know it's gone." Mayor Albert Boutwell wept after he learned of the church bombing.

'I never could conceive that anyone existed with such universal malice," be said. "I fear that the situation will become worse." When the explosion came, there were approximately 200 persons in the church, Rev. J. H. Cross, pastor, said.

About 80 were in basement classrooms. The Justice Department said FBI agents, on the scene within minutes, will make a full investigation. Top aides of Atty. Gen. Robert F.

Kennedy were sent here. Crowds of Negroes gathered quickly after the blast. Some wept. Others cursed. Middlebury Boy, 15, Accidentally Shot in Head WEYBRIDGE Preparations for a hunting trip turned to tragedy here Saturday morning when one boy accidentally shot and killed another.

Killed was Jeffrey Kenneth Little, 15, of 65 Weybridge Middlebury, shot in the head with a double-barrel shotgun held by his neighbor and hunting companion, 16-year-old John Angelo Emi-lo of 41 Weybridge Middle-bury, The victim was the son of Mr. and Mrs. Kenneth A. Little. The shotgun accidentally discharged about 8:30 a.m.

Walker of Middlebury were at the scene. There will be no autopsy. (Obituary, Page 2.) ABERDEEN, S.D. (AP) The Fischer quintuplets were reported doing very well late Sunday by Dr. James Berbos.

He described their condition as "guarded" until the critical 72-hour period since their birth had passed. "They are unusually healthy for premature babies," said Dr. Ber-bos, who delivered them Saturday. The quints got their first feeding Sunday; a tiny amount of glucose and sugar water through a tube will be fed them every two hours around the clock. The quints, born to Mr.

and Mrs. Andrew Fischer, may get their first taste of regular baby formula Monday, the doctor said. The tiny babies, pink and wig-gly, spent a good night and "are getting along fine," the doctor said. 'More Active "They were much more active today than yesterday. They are moving around in their The four girls and a boy appeared to have an increasing chance of being the first quintuplets in the United States to survive infancy.

There has been no sign of respiratory ailment, said Dr. Berbos. This is one of the first signs of trouble in many premature infants. The quints were born about two months prematurely. Mrs.

Fischer, 30, spent a restful night and walked about her room this morning, the doctor said.

Announcing Indonesia's stand, Subandrio said: "We are trying to urge the United Nations to imake a correction; only after that correction has been made can we change our attitude." Subandrio did not elaborate but Indonesia has expressed doubts about the thoroughness of a U.N. investigation into whether the people of Sarawak and North Borneo desired membership in the federation. Both territories are situated on Borneo, an island owned mostly by Indonesia. The formal launching of the federation capped a two year If the hostility leads to war, responsible diplomats believe, the result could be one of the worst defeats for Western interests in Asia since the fall of China to the Communists in 1949.

Indonesia has shown no desire for a full scale shooting war which would mean a military showdown with Britain. But diplomats believe Sukarno is determined to smash Malaysia and possibly gobble up some of the pieces. Indonesia, with a population of 100 million or 10 times that of Malaysia, can field an army of 350,000 men, the largest military force in Southeast Asia.

One, the Philippines, withheld recognition; the other, Indonesia, announced it could not accept the new nation "as it is now." President Diosdado Macapagal of the Philippines summoned home his ambassadors in Kuala Lumpur and Jakarta, Indonesia, for consultations. Foreign Secretary Salvador P. Lopez was ordered back from New York.

Filipino diplomats abroad were told to boycott Malaysia celebrations. A Filipino foreign ministry spokesman said these actions do not preclude eventual recognition of Malaysia. Report Disagreement In Indonesia, Foreign Minister Subandrio announced disagreement with a favorable report of the United Nations on Malaysia. Subandrio met with top military and civilian leaders in an emergency session called by President Sukarno. This coldness failed to dampen the enthusiasm of happy crowds in Kuala Lumpur who had been gathering since before midnight to herald the birth of the new na-tion-a joining of Malaya with the former British colonies of Singapore, Sarawak and North Borneo.
