After burglars entered it three times, Price rigged up an electrified metal gate across the window. He wired it he said, to turn back any future burglar with a non-lethal jolt. When Price arrived home at 2 A.M.

today from his job as a pri vate guard, he found a man's body hanging head-down with a foot caught in his electric gate.

As with other basic metals, defense needs have priority, and none may be exported. In mid-July the Commerce De partment ordered the fourth-quarter aluminum set-aside for de fense and related orders, upping the total to 300,000,000 pounds compared with 290,000,000 pounds in the third-quarter set-aside The fourth-quarter set-aside re presents about 13 per cent of total industry shipments anticipated for the fourth quarter, compared with a previous 11 per cent set- aside. Actually, there is no shortage of aluminum at the moment, but the Vietnam war has stepped up the demand substantially, officials say.

Purpose Noted Set asides, incidentally, are made under the authority of the defense materials system created by the Defense Production Act of 1950, as amended. The purpose of the act was to make certain that in event of a national emergency there would be sufficient basic materials on hand to meet the needs of the na tional defense and the national se curity. Export prohibited ine legislation aimed at ex panding productive capacity and supply beyond the levels needed to meet civilian demand. In the setaside order on alu minum recently issued the pur pose was not only to meet the re quirements of the Defense Department, but also those of the National Aeronautics and Space Administration, the Atomic Ener gy Commission, and the Federal Aviation Agency. Copper, as everyone knows, has been a matter of concern to the Government and industry for years.

Kennedy Pool Coins Pose Town Problem Hyannis, Aug. 6 lift Town officials yesterday were debating what to do with some $1,500 in coins tossed into the pool at the John F. Kennedy Memorial Plaza.

6 Whatever else may be wrapped up in the sudden jump of steel prices by the producers, it does not stem from any shortage of steel for the nation war needs. Nor is there any pressing short age of other basic metals, copper, aluminum, nickel and none is in sight, according to a Commerce Department spokesman. However, there have been squeezes and tight supplies in some of the low-production, high- utility metals such things as molybdenum, cadmium, bismuth, and those bearing such esoteric names as osmium, ruthenium, iri dium and rhodium. Lately there has been worry about nickel, with the result that on August 1 the United States Department of Commerce's Busi ness and Defense Services Admi nistration ordered a 25 per cent "set-aside" of primary nickel. Sparked By Strikes The worry about nickel stemmed from the wildcat strike in Canada of employees of some of the International Nickel plants, which shut off three quarters of the company's output, according to reports from Canada.

The Government's set aside move, directed to the three Unit ed States suppliers, International Nickel of New York, the Hanna Mining Company of Cleveland, and the N.C. Trading Company of New York, an importer, was to ease the effect on the defense ef fort of the nickel shortage created by the Canadian strike. International Nickel on July 21 had suspended temporarily all shipments of nickel to the united States. The nickel "set-aside" order for defense needs called for an amount equal to 25 per cent of the monthly average of suppliers' deliveries during the first six months of 1966. Enough For Defense The Commerce Department said that this set-aside will provide sufficient nickel to fill all defense needs.

There will remain in existing and expected stocks a quantity of nickel for non-defense consumers, including small busi-n6Ss In June the B.D.S.A. announced third-quarter distribution plans for molybdenum from the national stockpile. It was this metal which recently caused a flurry in official duarters when a price in crease was quickly rescinded. Production of this rare metal amounting to about 100,000 pounds a year does not quite equal consumption. The Commerce announcement said that in the second quarter of this year 4,500,000 pounds were sold to domestic consumers, and that of the approximately pounds in the original stock- WANTED 2 Home Remodeling Salesmen Experience in any of the following: Remodeling-Kitchen-Clubrooms-Aluminum Siding Immediate Openings stop in for interview start at once GLOBE HOME IMPROVEMENT CO.

2012 N. Charles St. PICTURE LAB Hopes To Send Satellite In Orbit Around Moon Cape Kennedy, Aug. 6 OP! The United States plans to shoot for the moon Tuesday, hoping to rocket a flying photography lab-J oratory into orbit around our celestial neighbor, to snap pictures of potential astronaut landing sites. The spacecraft.

Lunar Orbiter, is to dart across a quarter-miilion-mile path and swoop into a lunar orbit that will brush as close as 26 miles to the moon's surface. It carries two cameras to obtain clear pictures of ten areas con sidered likely for manned expedi tions. Resting in one of the sites is the Surveyor craft that settled gently on the moon in June and relayed 11,237 pictures to earth. Lunar Orbiter hopes to capture photos of Surveyor and its surrounding terrain for comparison. 90-Hour Journey Scheduled launch time is 11.07 A.M.

Tuesday, with an Atlas-Agena rocket starting the 850-pound Lunar Orbiter on its intended 90-hour journey to the vicinity of the moon. Once there, a retro-rocket is to slow the speed so the probe will be caught in the moon's gravitational field. If successful, it will be the first time America has placed a satellite in lunar orbit. Seven previous attempts failed, six of them in the early days of rocketry in 19581 10 190U. Russia succeeded with Luna 10 last April after a series of failures, Luna 10 did not have a camera.

Lunar Orbiter is more sophisti cated than any of the others and the National Aeronautics and Soaca Administration and its prime contractor, the Boeing Company, are confident it will succeed. The targets that NASA is considering for manned landings are located in a narrow band stretching across the moon's equator and include all types of terrain. High Resolution Pictures Lunar Orbiter is to take 16 pic tures of each area, some of which will be relayed live to nation-wide television. Each frame will have a medium resolution picture showing an area 23 by 56 miles and a high resolution picture of an area 10 by 40 miles in the center of the larger photo. The high resolution pictures could clearly show objects the size of a card table.

By contrast, earth telescopes cannot clearly identify objects less than a half mile in diameter. Besides the ten prime photographic targets, the spacecraft vill carry enough film to take a few shots of the hidden backside of the moon, the polar regions and perhaps of an area near the crater Aristarchus where mysterious red spots have been seen. Lunar Orbiter also has instruments to measure radiation and micrometeoroids near the moon. By tracking the payload as it circles the moon, scientists will learn more about the lunar gra-viational field.

The four Navy Capt.

James A Lovell, and Air Force Col Frank Borman of Gemini 7, and Navy Capt. Walter M. Schirra, and Air Force Lt. Col. Thomas P.

Stafford of Gemini 6 were voted the world's outstanding pilots for 1965. The award, high in aviation prestige, usually is presented at the White House, and will be con ferred upon the astronauts this fall. 3 Categories The trophy, awarded annually by the Clifford B. Harmon Trust of New York city, usually is given to three categories. The awards committee said that this year, however, there were no nominations of sufficiently high caliber and international impor tance in the aviatrix and aeronaut (lighter-than-air) category to jus tify those awards.

The trophies were established in 1926 by the late Col. Clifford B. Harmon, pioneer aviator and balloonist, for whom Harmon. N.Y., was named. Others Honored Charles A.

Lindbergh received; the award for his trans-Atlantic solo flight in 1927. Wiley Post won it in 1934, Howard Hughes 193, and 1939, Astronaut Gordon Coop er in 1964. Lovell and Borman were launched into orbit in Gemini 7 December 4. Schirra and Stafford went aloft in Gemini 6 December 15, maneuvered to within a foot of Gemini 7 and conducted sev eral experiments. The Gemini 6 spacecraft re turned to earth December 16.
