But the reported document wao the first known official Communist admission the tide of the war has turned against them.

In other war developments, U.S. Air Force B52 Stratofor- tresses Monday night and today dumped tons of bombs, on suspected Communist troop concentrations nestled in the thick Central Highland jungles of Kontum Province near the Cambodian border. The targets served as springboards for some of the greatest Viet Cong and North Vietnamese, war drives.

U.S. jet bombers hitting North Vietnam had less luck. Some of the cloudiest monsoon weather of the season limited the pilots to 38 missions Monday, spokesmen said. However the pilots reported the bad weather also silenced most of the North Vietnamese anti-aircraft guns. Pilots, some dropping their bombs "blind," by radar, struck bridges, roads, storages areas, and radar sites up and down the Communist nation's southern panhandle.

"Probably 89 per cent of those sent to prison are coming back again. The big question when they go in is "are they going to better or worse?" 'Statistics indicate they are going to be worse." Abbey said that probation hasn't received a fair trial as yet. Up to three years ago, he pointed out, there was only one man and one woman doing probation work in the county.

Freezing rain extended south into Iowa and southern Wisconsin. Hazardsous driving warnings were in effect for most of the upper and western Midwest.

WASHINGTON and file House members, appetites whetted by the downfall of Adam Clayton Powell, today looked for other committee chairmen to cut down to size. No. 1 on the list was Rep. Wright Patman.

The 73-year-old Texas Democrat, who has served in the house longer (38 years on March 4) than all but two other men, has ruled the Banking and Currency Committee with a firm hand for the past four years. But as members of his committee gathered for their first meeting of the 90th Congress today, there were proposed rules changes on the agenda which would curb the authority and partly disarm the longtime crusader for "easy money." Rep. Thomas Ashley, D- Ohio was predicting victory in the battle against the chairman. He counted on support from all the committee's 14 Republicans and two or Democrats. three of its 10 Ashley and the Republicans accuse Patman of running the an arbitrary its staff and cornmilfee in fashion, using resources to wage a never- ending battle against big banks and the Federaf Reserve Board.

The hearings are to egin "as soon as practicable." Dodd and his lawyer, John F.

Sonnett, personally challenged he six-man committee's author- ly to examine his finances. They said it was properly the urisdiction of the Senate Rules lommittee. Although the committee was agreed on its jurisdiction, it was understood open hearings were objected to by some members. The first round of hearings ing at the funeral was the Rev.

(UPI) Fire swept through a space cabin simulator operating with a 100 per cent oxygen atmosphere at Brooks Air Force Base today, killing one Airman and critically injuring another in conditions that appeared much like those in which the three Apollo --astronauts were killed.

The names of the men were withheld until their families discovering fire In their capsule tried desperately to escape, and left a tape-recorded legacy that ended: "We're on us out of here The paper said Virgil I. Grissom, Roger B. Chaffee and Edward H. White II, were clawing at the sealed hatch to escape the flarae-filled capsule where death came. There is no automatic release button and the astronauts did not have time to use the ratchet that opens the hatch of the craft in which they were to ride in America's first step toward a moon landing.

Officials. of the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to comment on the Times' report. Jack King, NASA information officer who is serving as the public Information officer for the blueribbon board of inquiry investigating the Friday tragedy, said that at the outset the board had warned it would neither confirm or deny such reports. He added, however, that as far as was possible to determine at this stage of the investigation the space agency had "not given out any false or misleading statements." One source close to the Apollo program who declined to permit use of his name said of the Times report: "It's not right. It's very gruesome and it's very wrong." He said the only.report of the fire to come from the spacecraft were the words: "Fire in spacecraft," as reported oficially by NASA Saturday.

The Times, quoting an anonymous recording engineer who heard the tape and talked with others who were on the launch of the American people, Navy Lt, Cmdr. Roger C. Chaffee, 31, one of the other two victims of the first U.S. space tragedy was being buried alongside Grissom. The Chaffee service was scheduled for 1 p.m.

And seven seconds later: "We're on fire scheduled at 11 a.m. EST. Died Friday The three astronauts--Grissom was the only member of the original seven-man American space team--died Friday when their Apollo space capsule was engulfed in flames during a simulated flight.

Three weeks from today, they were to make the first U.S. three-man space flight around the earth--forerunner of the goal of landing on the moon in this decade. As the nation watched on live television and a crowd of about 500 stood bundled against freezing cold in suruiy Arlington Cemetery, Grissom was laid to rest. The burial service was simple but impressive. Grissom's hometown minister, the Rev.

Roy Van Tassell of Mitchell, spoke briefly over the casket. He called Grissom "one of our great heroes--one of the pioneers of the space age--one of the great heroes of the space age." The muffled drums that seemed to all across Washington Nov. 25, 1963, when Kennedy was buried, sounded again around the cemetery as Grissom's body was brought to the resting place of 130,000.

The' questioning reached a dramatic pitch when Dodd took the stand and emotionally denied he took a trip to West Germany at Klein's behest. He made the trip strictly on official Senate business, he asserted.

The most potentially sensational area to be taken up in the new hearings Is that Dodd kept for his own use some $200,000 collected between 1901 and 19G5 at five fund-raising dinners and breakfasts. Lyndon B. Johnson, then the vice president spoke at one of dinners in 1903. Widows, Children Bear Ordeals Well could be notified. Lt.

Tom Sullivan of the Office of Information at Brooks, said the two men were working in "routine maintenance" in the cabin simulator at the time. The project has to do with studying how the blood and blood-forming tissues of rabbits react to spacf-like conditions.

The pressure and oxygen atmosphere of the. cabin was simulating an altitude at the tlmo of the accident. By United Press International "These are pretty remarkable women," a space agency official said of astronaut wives.

It was a vast understatement. Not one of the widows of astronauts Virgil I. Grissom, Edward H. White II and Roger Chaffee was seen to weep or lose her composure in public through three separate memorial services for their husbands. Martha Chaffee, Betty Grissom and Pat White attended all three services--Chafeee's on Sunday afternoon, Grissom's and White's on Monday morning.

They came to the services last, seemingly paying little Away from the stress of the memorial services, they were even more composed.

It takes much the same grit and steel to be a spaceman's wife, and the three young widows showed it. Their children were equally brave. Eight-year-old Sheryl Chaffee dabbed a handkerchief at red-rimmed eyes after her father's memorial services Sunday. Bonnie White, 10, did thei same after her father's services But neither cried openly. The boys--Stephen Chaffee, Scott and Mark Grissom and Eddlo WhUo faced tt.
