Ht reiided thousand hour, people filed through the Bloomington Unitarian church paying respects to the memory of U.N. Ambastador In Bloomington at bey and worked there as young man. -AP Wirephoto Adlai Stevenson Is Laid To Final Rest PARIS (AP) The Defense Ministry charged to-1 day that' a U.S.

photo reconnaissance plane "Hew near the French nuclear complex at Pierrelatte and was on a mission to take "unauthorized pictures." The nuclear plant there is working on France's first hydrogen bomb. A statement from the ministry said a protest had been presented at the U.S. Embassy in Paris. The statement said cameras aboard the plane, an RF101, had taken 175 pictures of the complex Friday. According to the Defense Ministry, the U.S.

plane, which was based at Ramstein, Germany, made four runs over the atomic installation in southeastern France. BLOOMINGTON, III. CAP) Leaders of the nation and hometown friends heard Adlai E. Stevenson lauded today a a "combination of greatness and goodness" and "the voice of peace and reason for all the peoples of the world." A community memorial service brought thousands to the Horton Fieldhouse of Illinois State University and about 200 to the funeral in the Unitarian church. President and Mrs.

Johnson, Vice President and Mrs. Hubert H. Humphrey and Chief Justice and Mrs. Earl Warren headed the list of national figures joining the family and close friends in the small, modern styled church. The Johnsons and their daughter, Luci, flew here from Washington for the funeral.

Dr. Dana McLean Greeley of Boston, president of Unitarian Universalist Association, told the mourners at the church thai Stevenson was a universal citizen. "Statesmen and the common people alike, the world around, have taken him to their hearts, and will mold his memory into their own image of the best life and prophecy of America in the 20th century," Dr. Greeley said. Mourners in the severely simple chancel of the church and in an ajoining room, included Mayor Richard J.

Daley of Chicago, Gov. Otto Kerner of Illinois, Sen. Paul H. Douglas of llinois. Some business houses and stores in Bloomington and adjacent Normal closed during the morning so their employes could attend the community service in the fieldhouse, which was enlarged to accommodate 9,000.

The crowd filled about half of the fieldhouse. Dr. Richard Browne, executive director of the Illinois Board of Higher Education, told the crowd there that his longtime friend Stevenson was "statesman for all the world." As the U.S. ambassador to the United Nations, he said, "became not only the spokesman of this country but the voice of peace and reason for all the peoples of the world." At the airport to greet President and Mrs. Johnson were Adlai Stevenson IH, eldest son of the ambassador, and his brother, Borden.

The party proceeded by automobile to the Stevenson family home, a large white stucco structure shaded by elm and maple trees, where the Johnsons formally paid their re- spects to members of the Stevenson family. Johnson spent about 30 minutes at the home, during which he signed a register for mourners that had been placed on a table on the large front porch. The Johnsons then proceeded to the church in the President's bubble-top limousine as several hundred persons who had gathered near the Stevenson home applauded and a few cheered. Spectators noted that the presidential flag on the front of Johnson's car remained furled, apparently out of respect to Ste- church, President venson. Inside the Johnson sat in a front row along with Mrs.

Johnson, Mrs. Humphrey and the Vice President. The Stevenson family sat on the opposite side of the aisle. In front was the casket, draped with the United States flag. Ten or 12 floral pieces were at the front of the sanctuary, including a wreath from the Johnsons.

Although the church was small, invitations were so strictly limited that there were few empty seats, including completely empty pew. It was a warm, humid day in Bloomington and the inside of the church was hot and steamy. Soviet Silent Probe Target Mystery MOSCOW (AP)--The new unmanned Soviet space traveler was reported functioning perfectly today in its flight to orbit around the sun. Its ultimate destination was still a mystery. U.S.

experts tended to rule out Mars as a target, saying that planet is no longer in a favorable position for another probe from earth. By 4 a.m., EOT, the official Tass news agency reported, the space craft was 140,430 miles from earth. Tass said further radio communications with the satellite "will be carried out in accordance with Ihe program." The Soviet space authority announced the spacecraft, named "Automatic Station Zond 3," was launched Sunday on an orbit around the sun. The first announcement said the spacecraft and its scientific gear Late News Bulletins BOGALUSA, La.

No other detaih were available. probes of other planets. Such a route was taken by Mariner 4, which now is transmitting pictures of Mars back to earth.

The Russians have tried at least twice without success to probe the red planet. One attempt was made by Zond 2, launched Nov. 30, the day before America's successful Mariner 4. Zond 2 stopped transmitting after several months of flight. An earlier Mars probe in 1962 also failed.

The Soviets launched Zond 1 on April 2, 1964 but its destination was not disclosed and there has never been any disclosure of what it accomplished before it stopped transmitting. The space authority did not link Zond 2 with Friday's orbiting about the earth of a satellite weighing more than 12 tons That shot aroused speculation that the Russians were testing a super booster for a mannec moon shot. Winlock Man Killed WINLOCK An 83 year -old Winlock man, Edward Wakkuri was killed instantly about 1:30 p.m. Sunday when he apparently stepped into the side of a southbound Great Northern freight train just south of the Canyon Street crossing here. He died of multiple injuries, according to Dr.

Funeral arrangements a pending at Fir Lawn funeral chapel in Toledo. Rhee Dies In Hawaii HONOLULU (AP) Syng- man Rhee, a fierce, old Korean patriot whose greatest dream and last wish eluded him, died at Maunalani Hospital in Honolulu today of a stroke- He was 90, in failing health for at least three years. The former South Korean president's last wish was "to go home and die," but increasing debility prevented his return. The founder of the Korean Republic was admitted to Queen's Hospital a month ago today after he began bleeding internally. His condition improved and he was back to the nursing home.

Doctors said they had an hour's indication that death was near, giving them time to summon his Austrian born wife, Francesca, 65, and his adopted son, Rhee In-soo. Unfulfilled was his life's ambition and dream unification of Korea as a republic. The mountainous peninsula on Asia's east coast still is divided along the truce line where the bloody Korean War was halted in 1953. Funeral arrangements have not yet been announced but they will be held at Korean Christian Church of Honolulu, center of worship for much of Honolulu's small Korean community. Wilbert Choy, who heads a committee of Korean community officials handling the services, said Rhee will be buried in Seoul, Korea.

On June 21 Rhee was removed from Korean President Chung Hee Park's political purge list. However, Rhee had been invited back to his homeland before but declining health prevented it. The former "Tiger of Korea" was tamed by age. Once a driving chief executive who defied communism and the United Na- lions, he became and tired old man a homesick A nurse said Rhee was kept alive by a dwindling hope of going home to die. This hope seemed lo be the only strength he had left.

His health, his stamina and the power he once wielded faded when student riots toppled him from the presidency. Rhee was the Korean republic's first president and served in the job 12 years. Reds Ask Withdrawal BUCHAREST, Romania (AP) --The Communist regime called today for all nations to withdraw their armed forces from foreign territories. The appeal seemed aimed at all major powers, including the Soviet Union. It was voiced by Communist parly chief Nicolae Ceausescu in a major policy address opening the congress of the Romanian party.

Unlike other Communist leaders have done, Ceausescu did not offer any material assistance to the Viet Cong guerrillas. He said his party seeks "good relations with all countries, regardless of their political The Defense Ministry accused the plane of three violations: flying in a restricted zone, taking photographs without authorization and taking pictures in a restricted zone. Until today the French maintained official silence on the affair. According to French news reports, French fighter planes were sent up to chase the U.S. plane out of the area.

The Defense Ministry statement supported these reports but not in detail. American officials said the plane was on a training mission. They said it filed a routine flight plan wilh French aulhori- ties but was "forced to deviate by reason of a thunderstorm from the flight plan previously filed." Yankees Attacked SAIGON, South Viet Nam (AP) Troops of the newly arrived U.S. 1st Division were attacked by the Viet Cong for the first time during the night and three Americans were killed, a U.S. spokesman announced.

The spokesman said several more Americans were wounded in the attack that began with a mortar barrage against forward elements of the division's 2nd Brigade outside the Bien Hoa air base 12 miles northeast of Saigon. The 1st arrived in Viet Nam last week. It was the first action in Viet Nam for the "Big Red One" division that made an enviable record in Africa and Europe during World War II. "I had been through Korea and I thought I was a combat veteran until last night," said Maj. B.

McJilton of Fort Worth, Tex. "I had never seen fighting like that before." Another veteran, Sgt. l.C. Raymond N. Simmons of Jackson, compared the Viet Cong attack to action around the Hurtgen Forest, in Germany, in 1945.

U.S. planes pushed the war deeper into North Viet Nam today, bombing a 10-mile stretch of railroad track starting 15 miles north of Yen Bay and 90 miles northwest of Hanoi, a U.S. spokesman announced. It was the deepest penetration of North Vietnamese territory announced so far. Results of the raid were not reported.

A U.S. Navy jet bomber was shot down over North Viet Nam Sunday a short lime after U.S. Defense Secretary Robert S. McNamara watched it roar off along with 13 others from the catapults of the 7th Fleet carrier Independence, a U.S. spokesman announced.

The spokesman said the two crew members of the A6 Intruder were seen to parachute and land on the ground. He said a search operation for them was abandoned today and it was presumed they were captured. North Viet Nam claimed its gunners shot down three U.S. planes Sunday and captured two pilots. Division troops had COMOX, B.C.

A a in Indian longue, means "big slow," and that's what stopped Ihe four-ton killer whale Monday in his slow tow to Seattle. After a night of steady running from this east coast Vancouver Island port, the Namu convoy was forced to take refuge in the morning at Deep Bay 38 miles north of Nanaimo. Storm warnings were flying, and Capt. George Losey of the tow-tug Iver Foss decided to sil it out until the weather improves. The layup is the second in three days The expedition remained here for more" than 24 hours Saturday night and Sunday for major repairs to Namu's seagoing corral.

But from here on to Seattle, the last half of the 400-mile tow should be a downhill pull, unless the crew again has to yelp for help because of kelp. Tons of seaweed were caughl Namu, the killer whale, a sigh as he lolls in his seagoing corral while being towed south to a Seattle aquarium.

AP Wirephoto Killer Whale Convoy Forced To Take Cover As Storm Warnings Are Raised by the Namu's underwater 40-by-60-foot part of sea-going corral. Hours have been spent by all available crewmen in the whale-towing expedition to clear away the mass with gaff hooks and bare hands. Gary Keffler, a commercial diver from Seattle who also is a world champion sports diver, was flown to Comox yesterday lo help remove the ocean greenery draped over the four-ton whale's "stateroom." A water pump also was flown up Sunday lo replace one which failed in the small harbor tug, Robert E. Lee, which is shepherding the job while the husky sea-going tug Iver Foss does the towing. Niimti was caught accidentally by a couple of salmon fish- fisliermcn in their nets off Namu, B.C., about three weeks ago.

Seattle acquarium operator Ted i i paid them $8,000 and i a pen made of oil drums, pipe, nets, rope and chains, and the 'fOft-mile trek began. In the lead was (he big tug, then came the pen with Namu lolling around in it. Bringing up the rear was the smaller lug The pen was damaged by rougli water in crossing Queen Chartotle Sound, north of Van- cnuvcr Island, early in the voyage. It held together going through the chancey waters of Seymour Narrows, but il has a twisted, grotesque shape now. The kelp and other seaweed must be kept cleared away because il creates a lot of drag and slows down the slow proces- on.

Namu's family, a cow killer whale and two calves, have followed him much of the way, but he may be losing them. They seem lo be drifting farther behind as Ihe caravan inches south. Saturday there was only one glimpse of them in 24 hours, but, unlike Namu, there aren'i any fences holding them, and they can come and go at will. George Losey, skipper of the big tug from a a and his crew are getting a kick out of their chore. Normally the crew works six hours and lays off six hours, but not on this voyage.

"With a job like this, nobody is getting much sleep," Losey said. "We are up looking around at Ihe whale mosl of the time, and we catch a little sleep when we can'." Losey is on the radio much of the time asking passing vessels to slow down because their wakes might create swells that would damage the pen. "They are real good about slowing down," the skipper said- Worst Of Year Weekend Auto Toll At 11 By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS Eleven persons died on Washington highways over the weekend, making the two day period the bloodiest of the year.
