Wood said in a radiotelephone interview from the Coast Guard cutter Active, which is towing the balloon gondola back to Massachusetts, that his stunt was well planned to make sure the rope would support him and that Sparks could pull him aboard the gondola. "It was planned in order to be safe," Wood said, "but it was planned only on my part. Bob didn't know anything about it. "I think that he was extremely surprised, or even unnerved, to hear a voice below him," Wood continued. "I think he wasn't too happy." Sparks, 39, of Pottersville, N.J., said afterwards that he was very upset to find out what was going on.

"I realized it fairly early when Hadden yelled up to me, 'Hi Bob. It's Sparks said. "I wanted to kill him. But once you're in a circumstance like that, the only thing I could do was pull him aboard." Sparks flew back to Otis Air Force Base on Cape Cod, and Wood decided to stay with the gondola. Wood, 44, agreed with Sparks that the extra passenger didn't cause the mission to fail.

"The problem was due to the balloon itself, not with me being there," Wood said in the interview. "I was able to contribute something as the flight progressed. My going along did not cause the problem," Wood said he did not know what caused the helium to leak from the balloon. Wood, of Greenwich, said he and Sparks learned soon after departure that they were not going to make it Europe. "We knew we could stay up two or three days, but that would have put us down in the mid-Atlantic," Wood said.

"We could have gone that distance, but it didn't make much sense. So we decided to come down." 125 Complete Goulds water systems inttalle and serviced.

Educational institutions hold 74 per cent of the public broadcasting licenses in the U.S. A Vermont network could rely on the National Public Radio network for part of its programing. Smith said, but the emphasis would be on local programing with a distinct Vermont flavor.

A second application for a planning grant has been filed by the Champlain Valley Educational Radio Association, headed by Bernhardt Smyle. a Burlington High School teacher. Smyle told the group his organization would operate a low-powered FM station in the Champlain Valley first and expand to statewide operation after that station becomes established. It was not clear Thursday whether the two Vermont organizations will compete for the grant or join forces. To qualify for a public broadcasting grant, a station would have to operate 18 hours a day the year around.

Smith told the Vermonters to pursue the project quickly in order to meet deadlines for grant applications. The effort to install public broadcasting in Vermont is being supported by the Vermont Ecumenical Council, represented at the meeting by Howard Stearns, executive minister. MENDON-Matching funds and a potential audience of sufficient size are needed to bring public radio broadcasting to Vermont, a group of state residents was informed Thursday night. Keith Smith, an official of the Corporation for Public Broadcasting, said that he has a suitable application for a $25,000 study grant from the Vermont Public Radio an organization headed by Raymond V. Phillips, former dean of continuing education at the University of Vermont who is credited with bringing educational television to the state.

Phillips said that the required potential audience of 300,000 could be had by placing a high-powered KM transmitter in northern Vermont and a booster in the south. It is possible that existing facilities could be used for the radio equipment, he said. A channel is available for the network, but the Vermont group needs money to pursue its planning and application for public broadcasting funds. Phillips explained. Should the channel be assigned to some other applicant, public radio in Vermont would be blocked, he said.

Capital costs are estimated at about $125,000. To qualify for grants from the Corporation for Public Broadcasting, the station would have to employ a minimum of five persons and have an annual operating budget of at least $175,000, according to Smith. The national nonprofit broadcasting organization would contribute $50,000 toward operations the first year. $35,000 the next year and some $18,700 in subsequent years. Smith explained.

District Judge June Green turned down the Justice Department's request for a total of 235 days more time in which to decide what documents could be released to the sons of the couple executed as spies in 1953. Robert and Michael Meero-pol. who go under the name of the family that adopted them, have filed suit under the Freedom of Information Act for the complete prosecution files on the investigation that led to their parents' conviction and execution. Ethel and Julius Rosenberg were accused of being part of a spy ring that passed information on the atomic bomb to the Soviet Union in the late 1940s. The Rosenbergs maintained their innocence to the end.

F. Madden, the year. Justice Department Attorney Jeffrey Axelrad told Judge Green the timetable she ordered would be nearly impossible to comply with. He said the Rosenberg files involved tens of thousands of documents in half-a-dozen different federal agencies and that it would take months to sift through them to determine what can be released. "It's like telling a man to jump 30 feet in the air he said.

"I think you're making a mountain out of a molehill." Judge Green told him. Robert Meeropol, 28. later told, reporters the judge's ruling was "a small but important step forward." He said that, while he doesn't know exactly what is in the files he and his brother are seeking, he hopes the contents will exonerate his parents and show that "every major prosecution witness committed perjury in one form or another."
