TUESDAY, JUNE 24, 1969 Tin HEwD PALLADIUXJ, BENTON HARBOR, MICH. 'AGE TWELVE U.S. Rocket Stevensvifle DEATHS AND FUNERALS Keeter Rites Set Funeral services for Mrs Output Cut By Blaze (Continued From Page One) subcommittee, a reporter Monday night, "I regard this as a serious situation." He said the subcommittee has completed action on the $45 million request and the next step is a meeting with House appropriations committee leaders sometime this week. Giller said the disruption of Rocky Flats work would not affect the Nixon administration's 1974 deployment schedule for the proposed Safeguard missile defense system. SCHEDULE THROWN OFF But Giller said Rocky Flats was preparing to produce test models of Safeguard nuclear warheads to be test fired in Nevada and indicated this schedule was thrown off.

While Rocky Flats is being repaired, he said, the AEC hopes to produce test ABM devices at its limited facility in Hanford, or at the Los Alamos research center in New Mexico. Los Alamos, however, has only "a laboratory capability" to turn out test warheads, and Hanford has only "elements of an obsolete production line," Giller said. Hanford was put on standby several years ago but its equipment "may be useful in assisting in the production of Plutonium parts for the test program," he added. SABOTAGE PROBED The AEC, Giller said, has no indication sabotage was involved in the fire, but an independent fire investigation company has been assigned to check such a possibility as it seeks the cause of the blaze. Giller pointed out this was the first instance "of any such fire of this magnitude in the weapons production complex" of the AEC, which fills orders from the Pentagon for nuclear armament The AEC has eight nuclear plants, all operated under contract by private firms and all heavily dependent on each other in the production process.

As Sen. Byrd, observed, the work, of all eight "is interdependent, interrelated and interconnected. "Therefore, if one plant is damaged to the extent it cannot operate, it will affect the opera tion of the other seven plants," damaged to the extent it cannot Byrd said Giller, agreeing, said the AEC's Albuquerque, N.M., office which oversees the production system "is making a major study of the impact on the manufacturing output of the other seven plants." attempt, of course, would be to build as much as possible at a reasonable rate, of other parts of the weapons which are then shipped to our assembly plants at Amarillo, and to Burglinton, Iowa, there to await for the parts from Rocky Flats to catch up, which make the final Youth Dies Of Crash Tnjuries OTSEGO The fifth traffic fatality of the year was recorded in Allegan county Monday night when James R.

Bridgman Program Is Popular BRIDGMAN The Bridgman elementary summer school program began Monday with 75 students enrolled, Superintendent Gerald Keidel told the board of education last night. Other enrollments reported Include 45 high school students in the summer band and 75 in driver education programs. The elementary program includes reading, arithmetic and recreational courses such at baton twirling and guitar playing. The board voted to have report cards in the elementary school issued next year every nine weeks to provide teachers a longer time to evaluate pupils. Reports have been issued every six weeks.

The change means there will be four report card dates, instead of six. Plans are also being made for periodic conferences between teachers and parents to be held anytime the teacher notes serious problems with a student. The board set a salary of $700 next year for duties handled by Charles Ridgeway as athletic director. Ridgeway also teaches and is head basketball roach. NEW TEACHERS New teachers hired were Mrs.

Judy Cunningham of Niles, high school art; Jack Newsted of East Lansing, high school guidance; and Miss Donna Ritten-house of Berrien Springs, sixth grade.

WESTBROOK PEGLER Columnist Westbrook Pegler Dies TUCSON, Ariz. (AP) Former newspaper columnist West-brook Pegler died here early today. Pegler won the Pulitzer Prize for reporting in 1941. He moved to Southern Arizona in 1942, living quietly near Tucson. He donated some articles to various publications and continued his opinion column for King Features syndicate until Aug.

13, 1962, when they parted company because of "irreconcilable differences after 18 years. Pegler was 67 when he and his third wife, Maude Towart, 46, of Cannes, France, were married at Midland, in 1961. His first wife died in 1955. Pegler and the former Mrs. Pearl Doane were married May 11, 1959 in New York City and divorced Oct.

30, 1961 in Tucson. Although Pegler said he never joined the John Birch Society, an ultraconservative political group with headquarters in Belmont, he contributed articles to its monthly magazine, American Opinion, until one was rejected in April 1964.

Cavanagh Won't Seek New Term DETROIT (AP) Detroit Cavanagh, Mflvnr Jerome r. who in 1961 became the first of a generation of "bright young mayors" claiming to solve i the problems of the nation's cities, today announced he would not seek another term. "The time has come for me to give greater consideration to the lives of my children," the 41-year-old, two-term mayor told a morning press confer- Cavanagh, who was divorced in 1968, said he still thinks the majority of the people in the city of Detroit support him. Woman Is Conned Out Of $485 A Benton township public housing resident who withdrew money from her Inter-City bank savings account to buy a car was conned out of $485 yesterday, Benton Harbor police detectives reported. Detectives said Mrs.

Ellen Stevens, 49, of 1262 Blossom lane, was leaving the bank when she was approached by a short man in his 40s. The man asked her for directions to the social security office. The two were then joined by a taller man, who said he had just beeen informed he won and would like to put it in the bank. He said he would -share the money with the two. The shorter man took out a roll of money and said he had $250 to invest, police said.

The taller man said that was not enough and took the $485 Mrs. Stevens had saved. The two took Mrs. Stevens to a Benton Harbor store and told her she could collect her share inside. They let her out and departed.

She said one man was in his 40s, stood 5 feeet 9 inches, weighed 170 pounds and had a white shirt and dark trousers. The other was in his 60s, stood six feet, weighed 160 pounds and wore dark work clothes. Both were black.

The mayor said he was against an additional license in the city.

Commissioner Longpre commented that the commission would take a "new look" at a new request if it involved a transfer within the city. "We can understand the hotel's position." he said. Commissioner Merrill said "Frankly, I felt as long as the state approved, it wouldn't have hurt for our commission to approve it. It would have helped the downtown area."

Mrs. Emily Keeter P. m. Wednesday la the chapel Tries Again For Funds (Continued From Page Three) withdrawing a $197,000 grant until a more specific plan of action could be presented. Stevensville had run into difficulty when bids on a new sewage treatment plant far exceeded estimates.

EARLY START SEEN Sinn wrote the Michigan Water Resources Commission June 16 of the plan to build a line to the Twin Cities and abandon the idea of a sewage treatment plant in Stevensville. Sinn wrote that if the grant offer is continued "we could anticipate that construction could be underway by Dec. 31. 1969." Small had other reports to the chamber on the development of utilities to the expanding Lake-shore area. He said Royalton township has asked to join the authority (St.

Joseph and Lincoln townships and Shoreham and Stevensville) and the auth ority's engineers said it could be done easily. The chamber will continue its plan announced last month to raise funds to employ an engineering firm to discover ways of combatting erosion. The decision of the state Highway Department to build a $1 million sea wall only adds emphasis to the project, Small said. The survey would take in the whole bluff area from St. Joseph to Stevensville.

The chamber is seeking a ruling by the Internal Revenue Service to determine if contributions to the study are tax deductible. Small called for an executive board meeting July 21. a week before the next regular meeting, to go over the agenda. A report from the IBs is due then, he said. Cause Of Death Still Unknown LONDON (AP) Reports speculating that Judy Garland may have died from an overdose of sleeping pills are "pure rubbish," a Scotland Yard spokesman says.

A coroner has ordered an inquest Wednesday into the death of the 47-year-old star. Police said Monday there were a number of pills in the singer nome wnen miss garland was found dead in her bathroom Sunday. The pills were nowhere near the body but have been taken to Scotland Yard for officers said, AUTOPSY PERFORMED Police doctors performed an autopsy Monday but did not dis- close the results. "As of this moment nobody in the Yard knows what she died from, nor wiU we until we know the results of the autopsy," a police spokesman said. Doctors said following the au-, tposy they were taking some of Miss Garland's organs to a Scot- land Yard laboratory for further examination.

The organs were not identified. She had cirrhosis of the liver and had been by surgeon that she was "living on borrowed time." ine pnysician, ur. runup io-bon, said he and another doctor had examined Miss Garland eight years ago and estimated then she had no more than five years to live. HEAVY DRINKER Lebon said he had "read the riot act" to Miss Garland and had warned her not to drink. She was known as a heavy drinker and for years had consumed many kinds of pills.

One of Miss Garland's representatives said the funeral probably would be held Friday in New York "if all the formalitie are completed in time." The spokesman said the singer's husband, Mickey Deans, would fly to New York with the body. Her three children, entertainer Liza Minelli and teen-agers Lorna and Joey Luft, are in the United States.

1 I By Associated Press There were 206 gunshot deaths in the United States during the week of June 15 to June 22 including 131 homicides, 59, suicides, and 16 accidental deaths, an Associated Press survey shows. This represents an increase of seven deaths over the number counted during the same period in 1968, before a limited federal gun control law went into effect. In 1968, the one-week survey counted 199 gunshot deaths, of which 115 were homicides, 65 suicides, and 19 accidents. The gun control law, signed by President Lyndon B. Johnson on Oct.

22, 1968, limits the interstate mail order sale of firearms and ammunition. It also bans the over-the-counter sale of weapons to nonresidents of a state.
