Red Orbits 2 Stations octet stage of the booster rocket during powered flight The last stage continued to reach the necessary speed and then orbited Electron 4. The news agency said all systems were functioning normally. In addition to instrumentation for scientific research, Tass said the stations carried radio transmitters and telemetering systems for broadcasting the accumulated data back to earth. MOSCOW (AP) A powerful single booster rocket launched two scientific space stations into widely differing orbits today, the Soviet news agency Tass said. The vehicles, Electron 3 and Electron 4, followed a similar launch Jan.

The Tass report made no mention of the size, weight or power of the satellites or the roclict that carried them into space. Tass said: "The purpose of the launch is to continue the comprehensive study of the Earth's radiation belts, the various kinds of radiation coming from the depth of cosmic space, the Earth's magnetic field, and the physical conditions in the upper layers of the atmosphere." At the time of the first launch in the Electron scries, U.S.

officials said the project did not seem to indicate a challenge to U.S. space shots. Experts in Washington noted that the United States put three satellites into orbit with a single rocket in June, 1961.

SAN FRANCISCO (AP) Republican platform writers completed the first half of their 1964 campaign document early today to the general satisfaction of both Goldwater and Scranton backers. However, supporters of the rival candidates for President predicted a fight later in the day when the 100-man Platform Committee convenes in closed session again to write the last half of the platform. The Goldwater forces remained in firm control of the committee's operations, with the Scranton backers fighting stubbornly to rescue some of the underdog candidate's planks from the scrap pile. Sen. Hugh Scott, field manager for Pennsylvania Gov.

William W. Scranton, said at the windup of the initial plank-writing meeting that he saw "no major objections' to the wofd.ng agreed upon. Rep. John J. Rhodes of Arizona, platform spokesman for Sen.

Barry Goldwater, said teems to me it went very well and li seems to roe that everybody else thought it went well." Meeting behind closed doors for about five hours, the platform drafters wrote a statement of belief for the Republican Party and an indictment of the Democrats. This was the less controversial half of the document. Convening again later today, the committee arranged to take up recommendations on foreip and domestic, affairs. Scranton is pushing for some provisions in these fickis unacceptable to the Goldwater forces, and Rhodes and Scott agreed there would be a contest on these. Committee Chairman Melvio Laird of Wisconsin said the text of the completed half of the platform would be Issued sometime during the day for release la Sunday papers.

Even the work on the first two sections of the document' took longer than had been anticipated.

Eisenhower, recalling Harry Truman's 1948 upset victory, says "It can be done again" if the Republican Party unites in a vigorous campaign. Eisenhower, talking with newsmen last night, said the outlook for Truman's election "was so poor that the odds, I believe, were 16 to 1 against him. But he upset the applecart." The former President, a two-time winner, was in a reminiscent mood on his way to the GOP National Convention in San Francisco. He held an Impromptu press conference in one of three private cars in which he and Mrs. Eisenhower and their party are traveling.

He said he felt President Johnson could be turned out of office, although, "as of the moment, all polls show the President far ahead of any possible nominee of ours." It can be done, he said, "and particularly if we have a well-united party carrying the message effectively and decisively there could be a different picture reflected before the election." The general was careful to maintain his avowed neutrality in the contest for GOP presidential nomination. He refused to be drawn into answering questions that might show partiality for either of the two chief contenders, Sen. Barry Goldwater of Arizona and Gov. William Scranton of Pennsylvania. The former President scoffed at what he called talk that he had pulled the rug from under Scranton when the Pennsylvania governor reportedly was ready to get into the GOP presidential race at the Governors' Conference in Cleveland.

"I never put 'sic) a rug under him." he said. Bad Check Linked To Powers Apparently the civil rights issue had been injected into a discussion of general principles, which were to be set out at the beginning of the document. Also, a number of members were reported eager to add more accusations against the Johnson administration to the "indictment" section of the platform. Sen. Scott told newsmen that unless the committee restores Bryant: No Duy To Enforce Law, Page 3B.

The minority would bring its views to the convention in a report, he said, and consider whether to try to force a vote on them. "Sentiment is running in that direction," Scott said.

Supporters of Goldwater, predominating on the executive panel as well as the whole committee, had succeeded in keeping entirely out of the rough platform draft three major planks for which Scranton had pleaded. And the tentative civil rights plank, while containing some conciliatory language, omitted the declaration Scranton urgently sought, that the 1964 law against which Gold-water voted is constitutional.

(AP) The FBI, at the direction of President Johnson, has strengthened its forces in this racially troubled state. The boost came as FBI Director J. Edgar Hoover, who flew here to dedicate new facilities for his agnecy, said he believed the three civil rights workers whose disappearance last month has baffled the nation are dead. The veteran FBI boss said, however, the search for the trio who vanished June 21 at the small east-central Mississippi town of Philadelphia would continue until "the bodies are found." "I must say that I have an inclination that they are dead," Hoover said in reply to a query at a press conference in the expanded FBI offices here. The White House announced that 50 more FBI agents would be assigned to the state to remain as long as necessary.

POWERS with the banker's widow by photographs add letters revealed in the investigation. George Nize, a Houston apartment house manager, said Mrs. Mossier frequently visited Powers at an apartment he rented from Nize. He said sometimes Mrs. Mossier, 45, was accompanied by some of her children.

Nize said Powers occupied an apartment In the house from Oct. 1963, until May 28, 1964, paying $120 a month rent. The manager said Mrs. Mossier helped Powers decorate the apartment. Other tenants told of visits to the apartment by Mrs.

Mossier and the children. William Walsh, an attorney for Powers, yesterday filed an application for an injunction in the U.S. 5th Circuit Court in Houston to restrain Harris County (Houston) and Metro police from interrogating Powers unless his attorney was present. Judge John R. Brown declined to rule on the application.
