Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday. Ohio (AP) Two earwitnesses to the 1970 Kent State University shootings testified Thursday they thought the first shot came from a small-caliber weapon. The testimony was offered by John A. Bambeck of Medina, a surveyor working on a campus construction site the day of the shooting, and Arthur L. Reedy, a state highway patrolman stationed at an intersection about half a mile from the shooting site.

The trial for $46 million in damages recessed Thursday after the jury was denied a hearing of a tape purporting to show the different sounds made by a rifle and weapon. Before the recess, the panel of six men and six women deciding damages claims also heard the Ohio National Guard's coordinator of training testify to the authenticity of documents introduced in evidence to show that the state Guard met requirements set by the Army. Bambeck, who said he was a gun, collector, testified the first shot he heard May 4, 1970, came from a caliber weapon firing from near the campus gymnasium. It was the first testimony to place the opening shot of the 13-second volley south of the troops who shot 13 students. The shooting killed four students and wounded nine.

The victims seek the damages from present and former state officials and guardsmen involved in the incident. Reedy said the first shot he heard was separated from the rest by a second or two. "It was sound that I normally associated with a .22," he said. One of the principal items the defense has promised to show is that the shooting could have been a response to a shot from a nonmilitary weapon. Many witnesses have said the first shot came from guardsmen's weapons.

Other witnesses have said the first shot came from an area northwest of the troops. False Fire Alarm The Van Wert Fire Department responded to a false fire alarm at 4:08 a. m. today at Aeroquip on W. Ridge Road.
