Somoza, former strongman president of Nicaragua and one of Latin America's wealthiest men, died Thursday night at the age of 43. He suffered a heart attack last Saturday. Somoza became 31st president in 1956 after the assassination of his father, who had taken control of the government in 1936. His brother, Anastasio, will take over the presidency May 1-having won national elections in February. While the Somoza have been branded as a "dynasty" by their political opponents, Luis did sign a law to prevent the president from succeeding himself and honored it by stepping down in May, 1963.

Bailey was arguing that the jury should be apprised that the defense had not been able to get any advance information about Umbereer's methods that "all we want to show the jury is an unwillingness to talk." He charged New York Chief Medical Examiner Milton Hel term as chief executive. The Somoza brothers were both educated in the United States. Luis attended a military academy in New York State, graduated as an agricultural engineer from the University of California and did advanced study at the universities of Louisiana and Maryland.

While in Maryland during World War II, he served as his country's military attache in Washington. But unlike his brother, Luis eschewed a military career. He went into farming, with huge interests that included sugar, cotton and cattle. He was also president of the Nicaraguan national airline, Lanica.

Somoza managed his brother's election campaign, in which the volatile Conservative opposition was beaten. The Somozas' wealth was believed to run into many millions of dollars and, from their lavish style of life, it was evident they must be among the very richest in Latin America.

This wealth and control of the dominent Liberal party undoubtedly have been factors in the Somoza family's continuence in power, although Anastasio said recently, "Dynasty, hell! We're a family that likes politics and know our job." R. Georgieff, one of four prosecutors seeking to send Coppolino to the electric chair, remarked soothingly to Bailey: "Frustration is something every lawyer encounters." Umberger testified earlier that "by more luck than good judgment I happened to run into an analytic procedure that separated "succinic acid from the components of the embalming fluid.

BEETLE BAILEY Astronauts To Be Questioned WASHINGTON (UPI) -Congress apparently will move on to the next phase of its Apollo investigation, the questioning of four astronauts, without the benefit of a confidential space agency report criticizing the spacecraft contractor. Chairman Olin E. Teague, of the House NASA Oversight Subcommittee said Thursday the matter of the report will be put aside until after next Monday's appearance of the astronauts. "We'll wait and see what they say," Teague said as his panel ended a closed conference on whether to press for release of the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) report on North American Aviation, the prime contractor for the Apollo Brilish Labor Party Rebuked By JOSEPH W. GRIGG United Press International LONDON (UPI) The opposition Conservative Party today was triumphant and gleeful as a result of a nationwide disaster for Prime Minister Harold Wilson's Labor Party in local elections.

Labor lost control for the first time in 33 years of the Greater London Council. It lost 140 council seats across the nation while the Conservatives picked up 150 in Thursday's voting. The stunning defeat in local borough elections did not lessen Wilson's control in the national Parliament. But it was expected to bring demands by his followers for an easing in the economic austerity program said to have turned voters against Labor. Even the staunchly pro-Labor trade union members were reported to have revolted in the polling booths against Wilsons freeze on wage raises.

No Election Expected Wilson does not have to call for national parliamentary elec it is good. The law applies only to western rite Catholics. In the Eastern Catholic Churches, married men entering the priesthood can retain their views but they cannot remarry if their wives die.

The sources said the Pope, who barred the Vatican Ecumenical Council from debating the matter, has been considering such a document for a long time and is collecting material for it.

They said the Pope is worried by recent cases of priests in Britain and elsewhere who have publicly renounced the priesthood to get married. He is also known to be concerned by the support in one European church circles for the idea of a maid clergy. "The Pope feels this movement must be brought to aai end," one of the sources said. The papal document would likely be a solemn encyclical to the world's bishops reaffirming and explaining the spiritual importance the church attaches to celibacy, they added. Pope Paul three years ago set up a special, top secret commission to deal with priests who want to leave the clergy while remaining practicing Catholics.

But the Vatican's attitude is that this amounts only to an understanding of human weakness of individual priests, not any change in the general law. surely impair our ability to prosecute the work in the future."

With most votes counted, the results in the races for the 100-seat Greater London Council amazed every Conservative official. The lineup has been 64 Laborites and 36 Conservatives.

The final lineup today was expected to be 82 Conservatives and 18 Laborites. The Socialists had not had such a bad day in London since the depression days of national government. Even Sir William (Big Bill) Fiske fell. He had been a member of the London "little Parliament" for 21 years and its "prime minister" for the last three. Voters threw him out of office.

Heath Pleased Conservative Leader Edward Heath said he was particularly pleased with the results from Lancashire, one of the nation's great local government political plums. Long a Labor bastion, it fell to the Conservatives Thursday by a landslide. The economic austerity and wage freeze formed only a part of the reason voters bolted from Labor ranks in the tens of thousands. Politicians and observers also laid part of Labor's woes at the polls to the infighting within its own Parliamentary ranks. Sigmund Freud was born in Freiberg, Moravia.

On the advice of Teague, Phillips declined to release his report to the Senate committee, but he summarized some of its findings. These included specific criticisms of the company's engineering, manufacturing, quality control and contracting operations. No recommendation for a change in contracts was suggested, he said, because he felt the deficiencies could be corrected.

Phillips noted that the report was presented orally to North American and NASA officials on Dec. 19, 1965. By the following April, when the task force met with company officials, most of the problems had been corrected or progress had been made in correcting them, Phillips said. Dr. George E.

Mueller, NASA director of manned space flight, said the report was made available to the NASA board that investigated the Apollo fire which killed astronauts Gus Grissom, Edward White II and Robert Chaffee last Jan. 27. "It is clear," Mueller said, that the deficiencies covered in the report, "did not lead to the accident." JULIET JONES r-: "1 Quotes From The News 4-H CLUB NEWS WASHINGTON Rep. Claude D.
