She was Mrs. Thelma Jean Carte.

Patrolman Richard West said in his report of the accideat that Mrs. Carte's husband, John Wesley Carte, 28, who was driving their car, received only minor injuries. The other driver was admitted to a local hospital for treatment of a knee injury. West said were no charges. Carte was formerly of Sum- rnersville.

His parents, Mr. and Mrs. Brantie Carte, Summersville, left immediately for Charleston after being informed of the accident.

Freak Accident Fatal To Brick Plant Chief BARBOURSVILLE, W. Va. (AP) H. A. Desaix, 38, superintendent of the BarboursviUe Clay Manufacturing was killed Saturday a freak accident at the brick yard plant.

He was struck by a rock, about 18 inches in diameter, which -was hurdled through the air by a dynamite blast felt throughout the community. Desaix was decapitated ana the rest of his body mutilated. The Huntington cr said it learned a working crew at the plant attempting to move a-hill with one blast and 75 cases of dynamite were used Randolph Cites 'Grim'National Economic Status ELIZABETH, W. Va. (AP) Jennings Randolph singled out the increase of consumer debts and the decrease of spendable income to point up "the grim conditions of our national economy during these recession inflation times." Randolph is the Democratic nominee for the short-term U.

S. Senate seat: He is running against Sen. John D. HoblitzeU Jr. (R- WVa).

"In December, 1952, consumer debt totaled 27.4 billion," Randolph said in his' speech prepared for delivery here. "After five years of the Eisenhower Nixon Administration's control and increasing costs of living, declining incomes, and high interest rates, the consumer debt climbed to 44.8 billion by the end of 1957. "And what about the human losses brought about; by this recession the broken dreams and xvilted hopes, the increased anxieties and despair of the aged and infirm, and the rejection of future careers by young people to-, continue: "Indeed, the measurement of our nation's loss in dollar term is a poor, cold and abstract substitute for the human misery many of our citizens have been forced to experience. But I would cite another figure which we might attempt to translate into more concrete terms: "In the past year alone, gross national product has decreased 5 per cent. does this mean? Simply this: "If We had maintained the employment level of last fall, gross national product would have been increased by 30 billion dollars.

Think a moment of what this could have meant in terms of hospital, school or road construction, of increased Social Security benefits, of low income housing, of countless areas in which a more responsive national administration might fulfill its commitments and still maintain a balanced budget.

The Air Force, which had hoped to put the tiny craft within 50,000 miles of the moon, confirmed Saturday night earlier indications that the rocket had strayed from the planned course. On the basis of the latest analysis of data received from the Pioneer's position in space at p.m.

Foreign Policy United States. WASHINGTON (AP) Republicans and Democrats, trading campaign blows over foreign policy, sought to pin on one another Saturday the label of war party. "Peace with the Republicans, or a possible war," was the prospect GOP Chairman Meade Alcorn held out to voters in the Nov. 4 elections for control of Congress. The Democrats countered that the Eisenhower administration has "led us to the brink of isolation from our allies and to fight a nuclear war inadequately prepared and alone." The 24nember Democratic Advisory Council predicted election of an overwhelmingly Democratic Congress, which it said will face a difficult task of restraining the GOP administration from warlike moves.

"That task is to see to it that the orderly processes of government are not re-placed by the day- to-day whims of a world-ambulating secretary of state and that policy decisions lacking wide domestic support--and wholly without allied support--do not bring upon mankind a nuclear holocaust," the council said in a unanimous statement. Alcorn came up with the possible war slogan for the Republicans as one of three issues he said Vice President Richard H. Nixon has pointed up in campaign speeches. The other two: "Solvency with the Republicans, or likely higher taxes. "Freedom with the Re-publicans, or probable regimentation under alien conceptions of economics and Saying Republicans have been put in a mood by Nixon's campaigning, Alcorn added that the enthusiasm the vice president aroused "will prove to be the margin of victory for Republican candidates." "The best test of the effectiveness of his campaign has been the Democrat (sic) reaction," Alcorn said.

"In recent days they have begun to flinch and are now on the defensive as they find themselves confronted with the truthful vigor of the vice president's speeches." The Democratic Council, of which former President Harry S. Truman and Adlai E. Stevenson are members, said the present crisis in the Formosa Strait is not cne which calls for Democratic silence. The Democratic group said that Beckleyan Hospitalized After Auto Accident Gene Louis Mozello, East Beckley, was admitted to the Beckley Hospital about 10 p.m. Saturday after being involved in an automobile wreck near The Wheel, at Daniels.

Test Suspension Drive Pushed UNITED NATIONS, (AP) --The United States and 16 other countries sponsored a formal proposal Saturday that the U.N. General Assembly urge suspension of nuclear weapons tests during the coming Geneva talks on that sub- ect. Their resolution, handed in here Friday night and made public Saturday, rivals Indiana and Soviet proposals whereby the Assembly would call for immediate cessation of such tests, even before the talks began. The Indian and Soviet resolu- ions were submitted a week ago for consideration in the disarmament debate in the Assembly's first' committee, started Friday.

But some delegates already were predicting that the U.S.- backed i eventually would win out over both of them. They noted that the committee had upheld its essential point in a procedural vote Thursday. That day, the group voted 50-9 with 19 abstentions for a U.S. motion calling for it to debate disarmament, reduction in military budgets and cessation of nuclear tests all together. The vote, with only the Soviet' bloc in opposition, eclipsed a Soviet motion to have the corhmit- tee put cessation of tests -first on its agenda and debate that separately.

THE MOON, New Moon today at 3:52 p.m. The moon is invisible except in an area.of-,the South Pacific Ocean beginning near New Guinea and ending in Argentina where it hides the sun as a total eclipse of the sun takes place. This eclipse will be seen as a partial eclipse over a much larger area of the ocean. A short time earlier had been reported that at 3:4,7 p.m. EST Pioneer had reached an altitude of about 65.000 miles.

The Air Force announcement did not define what it meant by the "near vicinity of the moon." But it seemed certain that toe Pioneer would miss its target by more than the 50.000-mile figure which the scientists had aimed for. The Air Force said project scientists were making to determine the best time to fire the fourth stage retro rocket in the payload "to provide a fioal path that would continue to provide the most valuable scientific data." If the Pioneer had been successful in reaching the vicinity of the moon it had been planned to this rocket so as to slow it down and perhaps enable it to go into orbit around the moon. "By interrogation of the command communications system, position and velocity data, radiation, micrometeoritc. magnetic field measurements, internal temperature levels, and Pioneer spin rate data have been received on a continuous basis," fche Air Force said. "The TV camera has ye' beeo activated." Lofted from Cape Canaveral Fla.

at 3:42 a.m. (EST). the space craft electrified scientists around the world hurtling far out on its trail-blaring trip through the ce lestial void. Tlie moon rocket had reached 67,830 miles out into space at 7:0 p.m. EST, the Air Force an nounced.

This indicated the mis sile was continuing to slow down although that expected. It three-stage take-off zoomed th rocket up to a speed of about 25, 000 m.p.h. to tear it'loose from the earth's gravity field. The continuing pull of gravity out in space slowed th rocket down after this initial burj of speed, however, and at the 65, 000 mile distance it was down a velocity of approximately 3,00 miles an hour. The "smooth' precision of the Al Force failure the first attempt; two months ago drew cheers from scientists aromn the world.

Prof. Alfred Lovell, i charge of the world's larges radio telescope at Jodrell Bank England, called it "an arnazin achievement" even though th rocket was off course. The huge Jodrell Bank telescoo was one of several tracking st; tions that zeroed in on Pioneer' epochal flight to heights never be fore achieved. Maj. Gen.

Donald N. Yates commander of the missile tes center at Cape Canaveral, tol newsmen the' instrument-packe rocket nose would never return earth. Even if it plunged back, said, it would be burned up friction with the earth's dense a- mosphere. The Defense Department report ed that the Hawaii tracking st tion had sent out a signal whic caused the Pioneer to shuck the burned out shells of sma vernier rockets. These were use to spin the satellite rocket like a artillery shell during the launch ing.

Moon's Other Side Probably Very Ugly WASHINGTON (AP) If the TIOOU rocket provides a peek at he dark side of the moon its gong to look "awfully beat up." Thai's the concensus of leading astronomers who say the side of moon never seen from earth should be even more pocked and pitted than the lunar face seen through telescopes. Their ideas were gathered by the Airman, official monthly pub- ication of the Air Force. The reason for the additional beating up of the dark surface, as explained by the astronomers: Outer space swarms with countess billions of meteors, many of immensity in mass.

For un- cnown centuries they have kept both the eartih and the moon under intense bombardment. How- Pioneer Might Reach Goal 10 Years Later CAMBRIDGE, Mass. (AP) --Pioneer, history's first moon rooket, mig'ht not even come close to the moon Monday but might hit it 10 years later. The rocket might even orbit the moon indefinitely to welcome the first satellite of a satellite in our solar system. Or the moco might "jar" the rocket, losing it in outer space forever.

These are but a few of the "fantastic" possibilities say scientists of the Smithsonian Astrophysical Observatory. Almost perfect precision launching and timing would be needed to have the rocket circle the far side of the moon planned, bhey point out. Launched from Cape Canaveral at 3:42 (EST) Saturday morning, the rocket was aimed at a spot in space the moon will occupy in approximately 2Mj days, abou noon Monday. Dr. J.

Allen Hynek, associate director of the Smithsonian observatory, says launching of the rocket, whether it gets near the moon is already a "stupendous" achieve ment. The rocket might orbit the moor and the earth a thousand times for the next 10 years, he says Eventually the rocket might sue cumt) to the web of the moon's weak gravitational pull, or the six times stronger tug of the earth. If Pioneer travels too fast in its celestial rendezvous with the moo: it could miss altogether or be do fleeted "back" towards the moon circle the satellite and orbit back towards earth making a figure eight pattern in space.

With the moon it is a different story.

Hope Sustains Rocket Trackers INGLEWOOD, Calif. (AP) -Hope, a deep fund of knowledge, and plenty of coffee are sustaining the men charged with plot- Ling the progress of the moon- bound satellite.

The job involves men and instruments in several parts of the world, but the long, electronic chain leads to an imposing collection of brains, both human and mechanical, in a labratory on the edge of Los Angeles. Signals from the top-shaped satellite are being picked up at stations in the United States, England, Hawaii and Singapore. Here, at Space Technology Laboratories, the information is translated to provide the answers to the big questions: Where is it? How's it doing? It's an awesomely complex process. The beeps from the hurtling satellite are turned into numbers at the monitoring stations at Manchester, England; Millstone Hill, Westford, Cape Canaveral, Hawaii and Singapore. The numbers are sent by teletype to the lab here where they become holes punched in computer cards.

The cards are fed into an omniverous electronic computer which spews out row upon row of new numbers. These numbers reveal to the knowing eyes of such men as Dr. G. E. Mueller, director of STL's; electronics laboratory, and Lt.

Leads Police To Graves Youth Admits Killing Parents In Argument Over Use Of Car OMAHA (AP) Sixteen-year- old William Leslie Arnold admitted to policy Saturday he shot his parents following an argument over the family car and buried them under a lilac bush. Then he led officers to the shallow graves at the rear of the'mod- est family home and stood by handcuffed as authorities dug the bodies of the parents. William J.

Arnold, 42, and his wife, Opel, 40. 'Mrs. Arnold's legs were buckled together with a Acting County Coroner George Sullivan said the boy related that he.shot his mother with a pistol after a violent argument and then shot his father when the latter came home from work as manager of the Watkins Products Co. here. That was 3fT.

Since then the neighbors and employes at the Watkins firm had been told the Arnolds were out of town. Saturday, an uncle reported to that the couple was missing-' the slightly built, dark-haired boy told officers his parents were slain in the living room of the home, taken to the basement and kept until Sunday night when they were buried. The boy's uncle, Ben McCammon of Omaha, said about a week before she and her husband disappeared, Mrs. Arnold had forbidden Leslie to use either of the family cars for about three weeks tecause the youth had told his mother a lie about the McCammon said he had worried for more thsn a we that something was amiss and had been on the verge'of going to the police but each time had held back--until Saturday, A neighbor, Mrs. Al Vacant! said early this week Leslie brought back a shovel he apparently had borrowed'.

Vacanti sa'd he was somewhat annoyed because the shovel still had dirt on it plus brown stains. Mrs. Vacanti said she'helped Leslie wash clothes -earlier this week and he, very agitated but she thought Jt was merely because of his inability to get the clothes washed. A younger son, James Arnold. 13, apparently was ushering at a rodeo, being staged at Coliseum, not far from the Arnold home at the time of the shootings.

He was not implicated..
