Lunar Orbiter (Continmd from a lot of noise in the sensor's electronic system that seems to block out the Canopus signal.

"We've ordered Orbiter, instead, to lock on the moon as its reference point. We're confident we can get it into orbit. The only uncertainty is tlie lack of accuracy for the photographic mission:" Martin added: "We will try to get Canopus again if we feel it's possible, because the moon will be out of the sensor's field of view by tomorrow. Later, we may be able to use the earth as a reference point, but we're too close now." Scientists said the craft has to have a reference point, such as Canopus or the moon, so they can plot its exact position before ordering maneuvers. If Orhjter attains its planned moon orbit, it will be the first successful lunar orbit for American spacecraft after seven failures.

The Russians achieved lunar orbit last April, but scientists said it was believed their space craft carried no cameras.

At Grenada, the City Council banned all gatherings in the town square.

In addition to the program a period of 45 minute's each will be given to a talk by Landlord' Includes Mixture of Ingredients By CYNTHIA LOWRY AP TV-Radio Writer HOLLYWOOD (AP) The ingredients artfully compounded, in a new NBC'situation comedy called "Hey, Landlord" make a chapter in any textbook oh television writing. The basic recipe: one part attractive, boyish, naive, and idealistic hero mixed well with one part sharp, sophisticated, wisecracking sidekick; place in a container large enough to hold other assorted ingredients, to be added and subtracted. at the whim of'the script writer. "Hey, has Will Hutchins, a tall, good-looking country-boy type who several seasons back made a hit of a jerry-built western series called "Sugarfoot." Older feminine viewers wanted to mother him, younger feminine viewers thought he was cute and the male audience liked the action, For contrast they added a young nightclub comedian nkmed Sandy prototype of'what people who cook up television comedy series believe is a typical hip New Yorker.

This sort of co-star casting probably has its roots in the ancient Greek theatre, a sweet- and-sour device to avoid the saccharine. "My Friend Irma," far back in TV. history, had her sharp-tongued roommate; dear, dedicated Dr. Kildare had his grouchy Dr. Gillespie; Eve Arden and Joan Blondell built careers playing the funny waspish friend of the heroine, and every straight-shooting, right- thinking cowboy has his Pat Brady or Gabby Hayes.

Hutchins and Baron have been placed in a New York brownstone, inherited by the former who rents rooms. This permits the writers to introduce assorted characters. They can move in for a week or two, go through their paces and quietly or boisterously depart. This is a switch on the device for action shows like "The Fugitive," "Run for Your Life" or "Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea." In these, the regulars move to different locales and new plots and protagonists for each show. "Hey, Landlord," however, has a lot more going for it.

In the background are many of the clever TV practioners responsible for the late "Dick-Van Dyke Show." Its producers, writing scripts, are two former Van Dyke writers. Jerry Paris, who directed so many Van Dyke episodes while playing the Petrie's neighbor, is the director. Sheldon Leonard, a producer whose track, record in TV is unsurpassed, is executive consultant, whatever that means. Baron, a Brooklyn boy in his 20s, has been hitting his stride in the past four years, moving from the usual monologues of the stand-up comedian to'impro- visation as a member of the off- Broadway companies of "Second City" and "The Premise." Then he graduated to wise-guy roles in some Broadway shows, most recently Henry Fonda's 'Generation." 'Hutchins, in contrast to brash Baron, is a quiet fellow with a shy understated humor. Bob Hope's first comedy special of the season, in "late tember, will include his leading ladies over the movie years excepting a couple who are out of reach in Europe, Paulette Goddard and Madeleine Carroll That leaves of course, Dorothy Lamour and Lucille Ball among others.

Man Killed (Continued from One) we heard gunshots and we heard some girls screaming. Everybody started running out. Wil liam Carney and myself started running to where we could hear the screams. "We didn't know it was some guy shooting people." The shootings occurred shortly after noon at the Winchester Gun Club, a spot where em- ployes of the Winchester-Western Division of. Olin Mathieson Corp.

have lunch, recreational facilities and a rifle range. The division manufactures guns. It was at 12:39 p.m. that police and detectives, their revolvers drawn, charged the front door of the brick building on Winchester Seconds later, volleys of shots could be heard. Then the man was carried out.

The conditions of the wounded women, and the precise number, were not immediately known. The woman found hacked to death earlier today was Mrs. Rebecca M. Wilson of New Haven, 34-year-old mother of four. Police said she had been struck repeatedly with a sharp, heavy instrument.

Her body was found in a wooded area at Bowen Field-the sports stadium of Southern Connecticut State College.

Gemini II Dew Given Sept. 9 Launch Date By RONALD THOMPSON AP Aerospace Writer HOUSTON, Tex. AP) Gemini 11 has been given a Sept. 9 launch date for a 44-orbit trip to include a unique cartwheel around the world while the spaceship is strung by a cord to an Agena rocket 100 feet away. Navy Cmdr.

Charles Conrad Jr, and Lt. Cmdr. Richard F. Gordon two 36-year-old pilots, also hope to perform the world's swiftest rendezvous, then use an Agena they catch to flash to a record height of 865 miles. Gordon, a rookie astronaut, will stage two work sessions outside the craft totaling about hours man's longest exposure to space while unprotected by his capsule.

The space agency officially announced the date Thursday, although it was known publicly for some that Sept. 9 was the target. Gemini 11 will be the next to last two-man flight before the United States begins three-man -Project Apollo mis-: sions. Conrad and Gordon are to' blast off from a Cape Kennedy, launching pad on their three-day voyage at 10:25 a.m. EDT, 97-minutes after an Agena target dashes into orbit.

While previous U.S. space rendezvous have taken three and four orbits, Gemini 11 will be guided to the Agena near the end of tht first trip around the globe. This more nearly simulates the rendezvous astronauts will perform when leaving the moon's surface to get to their mother ship for return 'home. Conrad, the flight's command pilot, plans to drive the spaceship's nose into the Agena's 'coital- Tor minutes later. During -55-minute walk, Gordon will unstbw a two- inch-wide cord on the Agena, then strap it to a bar on the nose of the spacecraft while the two vehicles remain parked: Later in the flight, with both men inside the capsule, Conrad win back away from the Agena, pulling the cord taut.

While 169 feet apart, the two vehicles will be set to spinning, like a cartwheel, as they whirl around the world at 17,500 miles an hour. Officials hope to see if the spinning will create any -'artificial gravity and if this could be a way to save fuel to stay close to another satellite. Tying the "two gether will be only part 'Of Gordon's job outside. Fed'oxy- gen through a 30-fobt umbilical cord, he plans to use a small jet gun to whip from place to place; He also hopes to be a mechanic, tinkering witt some meaningless nuts and bolls a tool specially designed for work in weightlessness. Gordon's second excursion outside the spaceship will be a 254-hour stand in his seat, during which he will take a series of scientific pictures.

While linked to the Agena, the astronauts plan to use its powerful thrust main engine to rocket their spacecraft to an altitude of 865 miles, breaking the world record of miles set last month by Gemini 10. Purpose of the high-flying maneuver will be to gather information on the lower reaches of the Van Allen Radiation Belt, take pictures of land and weather features and give the Agena engine a good workout. Suspended CIA Operative Had Embarassing Analysis DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) -The Des Moines Register and Minneapolis Tribune say in dispatch from their Washington bureau that Hans V. Tofte indi cates he has inside information about the Bay of Pigs, the Dominican Republic and Vietnam ese operations that could create "embarrassing issues" for the Central Intelligence Agency. Tofte, a CIA operative who was suspended after papers were seized at his home in Washington by CIA security of ficers July 24, wrote a three- page letter to a friend at Mason City, Iowa, Washington correspondent Clark Mollenhoff said in his story for the Cowles Newspapers.

Mollenhoff said that Tofte re vealed in the letter "that his analysis of the Bay of Pigs and serious blunders in the Dominican Republic and Viet Nam" were among papers seized. Mollenhoff wrote, "Tofte indicated the CIA security raid on his home might have been motivated by a desire to seize the highly critical analyses." The dispatch said Tofte has written the friend, Charles E. Jtrickland, asking that he inform friends of Tofte's controversy with the CIA. The story added, "He indi- jated he hopes to force an ex- poser and a cleanup of top personnel at the CIA, and anticipates a difficult and bitter ight." Mollenhoff wrote that most of the letter represented an attack on CIA Director Richard Helms and carried implications that Jelms was one of "those who planned.and executed the dis- astrous Bay of Pigs invasion." The dispatch quoted Tofte as saying certain CIA officials tried to "railroad" him out of the agency in 1961 but failed. the case broke two weeks ago when Tofte was quoted by Mollenhoff as saying some $20,000 worth of jewelry was reported missing from his home after CIA personnel had been there.

North Vietnamese Occupy Cambodia MANILA (AP) The allied forces have positive proof that North Vietnamese divisions had their headquarters in Cambodian territory. South Vietnamese Premier Nguyen Cao Ky said today. Speaking at a news conference, Ky said the proof came from prisoners and photo reconnaissance. He admitted that American' and Vietnamese planes may have bombed innocent villages in Cambodia. "In wartime, no one can say they never make mistakes," he said.

Ky said he would be willing to talk peace with North Viet Nam's President Ho Chi Minh only when Ho withdrew "all Communist. soldiers and agents in Viet Nam." 117-Degree High NEW YOKK (AP) The 117 degrees recorded at Palm.
