Buddhists Burn LB In Effigy SAIGON (UPI) Bud-dhistled antigovernment mobs burned President Johnson in effigy in Saigon tonight and sacked and burned the U.S. consulate at Hue as the Buddhist hierarchy increased its demands for reform of the American-backed military government. Buddhist leader Thich Ho Giac told a rally at the great Vien Hoa Dao pagoda tonight the church and the military government have taken steps toward a peaceful solution of their private war. He then gave the government until Sunday to make good on its promised reforms. THE IMPLICATION was there would be more anti-government rioting throughout South Viet Nam if Premier Nguyen Ky does not make good on his promise to include political and religious leaders in the military junta now running the country.

Giac told the Buddhist faithful to be prepared to die fighting if the government did not give in. To back up his demands Buddhist-led mobs surged rough the streets of Saigon tonight in a new outburst of American and government hatred. They cheered as the effigy of Johnson went up In flames. Earlier mobs had burned a U.S. Navy jeep and stoned two American servicemen.

Ky offered a compromise to the Buddhists an expansion of the ruling junta to include representatives of religious and political groups. But no solution to the three-month political crisis was in sight and Buddhists still demanded his ouster. The new outbreaks came despite announcement by Premier Nguyen Cao Ky today that the ruling military junta would be expanded to include represen tatives of religious and political groups. Ky's announcement an obvious compromise aimed at blunting Buddhist demands that he step down followed a meeting with Minh and other Buddhist leaders to seek a solution to the a i on's three-month-old political crisis. A MOB of about 1,000 students in Hue, their leaders armed with .45 caliber pistols, surged through the abandoned consulate and an adjacent diplomatic residence building throwing furniture through the windows while about 2,000 a tors danced and cheered wildly.

They poured gasoline on the structures and put them to the torch, sending thick black smoke billowing (VIET NAM Continued Back Page This Section) Comic Dictionary TECHNOLOGY The science that has been discovering so many sub- stitutes that it's hard to remember now what ara substitutes for, c- nil s- kP Wlrphoto ATLAS ROCKET Lifts off at Cape PARTLY: CLOUDY By ESSA-Weather Bureau A weak cold front slipped southward through the Orlando area Wednesday morning.

(DA barrel-shaped satellite rocketed into orbit today but may have remained locked inafiberglass shroud that would destroy its usefulness as a docking target for the Gemini 9 astronauts. The launch of the satel lite by a fiery Atlas bd peared perfect until information came that the shroud, designed to protect the vehicle from buffeting and heat during the blast off, may not have dropped. away. THE 90-INCH, 300-pound 6hroud covers the collar with which astronauts Thomas P. Stafford and Eugene A.

Cernan planned to link up with the satellite late today after a pursuit. One hour after the flight, Mission Control at Houston said there would be no way of determining whether the shroud had fallen off until Stafford and Cernan approached the satellite for a visual check, An Indication of shroud separation came when a light blinked on in ground tracking equipment at the time the Atlas engines cut off. However, the light went out shortly afterward. If there had been separation, it should have remained on. BUT MISSION Director William C.

Schneider said the blink of the signal light, had indicated a "high probability of separation. After an on-time launch at 11 a.m. EDT, the satellite sailed into an almost perfect circular orbit, ranging from 184.9 to 186.4 miles out from earth. The goal had been 185 miles. HOWEVER, THERE was a possibility that a shroud covering the payload did not separate.

If so, it might make the satellite ineffective as a docking target. The control center said it received an indication of shroud separation when a light blinked on in ground tracking eq uipment. However, the light went out shortly afterward. If the shroud had separated, the light should have stayed on. Mission director William Schveider said a half hour after launch there was a "high probability" that the shroud had fallen away (GEMINI Continued Back Page This Section) NEW HaOISE BOOKS NOW AVAILABLE TO SENTINEL STAR READERS Two of Heloise'i bookj just off th press os hondy Pocket Books ore on sole now by the Sentinel Star.

Cernan didn't have time to read the funny papers Wednesday but i cians at the launch pad cooked up some appro priate cartoons of their own. Placed above Stafford's seat inside Gemini 9 was a cartoon showing a man with a black cloud over his head a version of the hard luck character in Al Capp's comic strip mocking Stafford's hard luck in getting off the ground in the past. UNDER the cartoon was the caption: "Aw Shucks," which Stafford was quoted as saying after an Agena rocket failed to achieve orbit May 17, ruining the first Gemini 9 attempt. Above Cernan's seat was a sign reading "Agena Locator." The word "Agena," however, was crossed out and "ATDA" written in its place, ATDA which stands for Augmented Target Docking Adapter Is the target satellite which replaced the Agena, Also on Cernan's cartoon was a picture of a magnet reaching toward a question mark. The ATDA has never been used and therefore is considered by some at least jokingly as a question mark.

The magnet represents Gemini 9 pulling towards it.

Hundreds See First Of Launches By DICK YOUNG Staff Correspondent CAPE KENNEDY -Hundreds of bird watchers at Port Canaveral and the roads leading' to the Cape saw the first phase of the Gemini 9 mission get under way at 10 a.m. Wednesday morning. At that instant, an Atlas booster poised on Complex 14 flicked flame at the base of its launch pad and roared straight up with its a a cteristic rumbling crackle.

ASCENT WAS much more rapid than usual. Its halos an augmented target docking adapter weighed 2,400 pounds, a mere fraction of the weight of the Agena docking target launched in previous Gemini flights. Gemini 9 astronauts Tom Stafford and Eugene Cernan were already in their spacecraft' atop the Titan II on Complex 19 a short distance up ICBM row when Atlas left the pad and preparations were rushed lor their liftoff at 11:38 a.m. A SWIRLING column of smoke arose from the base of Complex 14. for several minutes a fter Atlas rumbled skyward but no damage assessment was immediately available.
