Charger fails on Viking II WASHINGTON (AP) -Because of a charger failure, ground controllers decided. Tuesday to use a backup system to energize batteries on a Viking en route to Mars to search for life. Failure in the primary charger made it Impossible Friday for the control-lersTto energize batteries in the spacecraft lander. A spokesman for the National Aeronautics and Space Administration said the' failure probably was caused by a faulty component in its circuitry. The controllers were, to signal the spacecraft by radio at 8 a.m.

PST today to turn on its backup charger. The command was1 to be sent from NASAs Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Pasadena. THE SPACECRAFT is one of two Vikings headed for Mars. The spokesman said the Vikings will examine-the planet search for life. Viking launched Aug.

20, will arrive about June 19, 1976. Viking launched Sept 9, will arrive about Aug. 7, 1976. Viking I charged its lander batteries two weeks ago without Fully charged batteries are required to power engineiering systems in the landers as well as instruments on the spacecraft during periods of high activity, including their critical landing sequences. Both spacecraft have nuclear generators, but their 70-watt capacity is not enough to handle energy needs during high-activity periods.

While noting that there were only Meyers state-: ments to show Voas was a homosexual, Somes contended the evidence showed Meyers went to Voass at 740 Orizaba with the intent to rob the man. Voass body was found, bound with bedclothes, in his home on April 18, 1973. His car and a quantity of his clothing had been taken, according to evidence in tiie case. The prosecutor urged the court to put no credence in defense psychiatrist Gerald Nemeths opinion' that Meyers beat Voas while in a state of him, In delivering his verdict, Fagan said he concurred with the prosecutor that the evidence indicated Meyentr-who on the stand acknowledged strik- ing Voas committed the mento last month during VBtai to the investigation of the al-rob his victim. leged assassination Under California law, a attempt on President Ford murder committed in con- by another former Manson nection With a robbery follower, Lynnette must be considered a first- Squeaky Fromme.

serv- ices, Tuesday: announced the battle will be carried to the. state Supreme Court California Divorce League spokesman Mitch Buszek said the group will challenge an appellate courts decision, handed down Monday, that advertising by the, firms could be banned by the state. THE appellate decision reversed a Superior Court ruling, made last June, in which the district attorneys office was enjoined from pressing its prosecution of 28. misdemeanor cases against various divorce clinics. In each case, the firms were charged with violating a Waof-the-century state law which makes it illegal to advertise divorce services.

At the heart of the dispute, is the clinics use of non-lawyers to assist persons who handle their own divorce Cases. Some legal authorities contend that amounts to practicing law without a license. The leagues members contend theyre only providing clerical and messenger services. Buszek said a Norwalk Superior Court judge upheld the legality of those services when ruling last month in the case of a divorce clinics operators charged with the illegal practice of law. The spokesman, who also operates a Southland clinic, said members of the league reacted with Woman hit by car, dies of injupe A 67-year-old Florida woman who was visiting her son in Bell Gardens -was killed Tuesday when she was struck by a car at the intersection of Eastern Avenue and Ludell Street Grace Burden was taken to Downey Community Hospital where she died at 35 p.m., about an hour after the accident The driver, a 57-year-, old Bell Gardens woman, told police the sun got in.
