We'll take it from there.) Mysterious Satellite Rocket Part WASHINGTON (API The De- fence Department thinks it has solved the mystery of the mystery satellite: It probably is part of a Discoverer rocket that was supposed to come back to earth but didn't. The department said Tuesday it came to this conclusion after continuing study by Navy and Air Force tracking stations. The existence of the silent satellite, tumbling in a nearly polar orbit, was announced Feb. 3. There was much speculation about it, including theories that it was a Soviet spy satellite or that it was a tiny natural moon nobody had noticed before.

The Soviet Union denied having anything to do with it. The Defense Department announcement said "it is believed this vehicle most probably is the ejected recovery capsule of Discoverer launched into polar orbit in August 1959. "This capsule was programmed to be ejected downward and backward by a retro-rocket which imparts to the capsule a velocity of about 1,300 to 1,400 feet per second with respect to Its carrier rocket.

Information Meet Set On New Vet Pension Law An open meeting to acquai I veterans and widows with provisions of the new Vetera Administration pension law which goes into effect July 1 will be held from 2 to 4 p.m. Friday in the American Legion building. Charles F. Dawson, Vet Service Officer for Lnmar County, made the announcement today. The new legislation, known as Public Law 86-211 is especially important to thousands of Texas veterans, their widows and dependent children who are now receiving pension payments.

It is also of particular i terest to widows and dependent children of WWII and Korean veterans who may have been previously denied benefits. Some veterans and widows will get an increase in benefits under this new law. On the other hand, it will be advantageous for some to continue receiving benefits under the present law. Those who are receiving must choose the law under which they wish to rece i benefits. Others previously ineligible, because of (lie amount of their annual income, may be eligible under the nesv law as income limitations have been increased up to $400.

Also, widows of WWII and Korean veterans are now eligible for pen- sion benefits if their income permits. All veterans and widows who believe they may be affected and others interested In learning more about the new law are encouraged to attend.

Dawson urged each veteran, widow and child in receipt of pension benefits, under the old law to be very careful with the new election form which they will receive March 1. For the veteran the form will be VA 21-6799, for the widow the card will be a yellow form VA 21-0799. The new election forms for benefits under the new pension law concerns all of the above mentioned groups. Dawson urged that everyone to come by his office for advice on the new law before taking action on the election. Chessman Claims Missing Body Will Prove Innocence Probers Believe Dynamite Bomb Caused Plane Crash WASHINGTON (AP) Government sleuths say they've pinned down the cause of the North Carolina plane crash that killed 34 persons Jan.

6: It was a dynamite bomb. They say furthermore that the bomb, set off by a dry cell battery, exploded near the seat of Julian Frank, a young Westport, attorney who carried million dollars in life insurance. There was a hint the tragedy might have been the result of a conspiracy by two or more persons. The theory that Frank committed suicide and carried everyone else aboard to death with him had been voiced unofficially before, but some doubt later was NORTHER expressed that a bomb had caused a passenger on this plane, but ater turned up alive in Phoenix, (Continued From Page One) sleet and light snow continued Wednesday morning. Many rural schools in the Austin area closed as the temperature dipped to 28 in freezing drizzle.

Austin schools remained open, however. Ice formed on bridges-, and overpasses and streets in the city became slick. Many minor traffic accidents were reported. The ice storm in the Austin area caught many residents unaware because the late night forecasts had not predicted freezing rain. Bridges iced over in the Cleburne area, south of Fort Worth, after a heavy sleet fell.

Temperatures there hovered at 20 degrees. Schools remained open. The lowest temperatures Wednesday morning ranged from 7 at Dalhart up to 49 at Dalhart. Amarillo had a low of 3 and Lubbock 12. In a bulletin the U.S.

Weather Bureau said one to three inches of snow would accumulate in the Dallas-Fort Worth area by Wednesday night. Bridges and overpasses iced- over north and east of San Antonio. Traffic stacked up for a mile on both sides of an ice-coated overpass on San Antonio's east side Wednesday morning. Four accidents on U.S. 81 between San Antonio and New Braunfels were blamed on icy roads.

Snow and sleet fell in 24-degree weather at Kerrville. In the Waco area, at least two dozen small towns and communities closed their schools because of icy roads. Streets in many sections of Waco were icy but that Central Texas city's schools remained open. In West Texas a number of rural schools dosed in the Lamesa area after a snow. A number of trucks skidded into ditches on the snow-covered Lamesa-Sny- dcr highway.

Durfee, chairman ot the Civil Aeronautics Board, told the Senate Aviation subcommittee Tuesday it has now been definitely established that a dynamite bomb caused the wreck. The CAB and the FBI are continuing their investigations, he said. Frank's body was found on Kure Beach, N.C., along with interior cabin parts and part of the plane's fuselage" skin. The plane itself traveled 20 miles farther fore crashing near Bolivia, where all the rest of the victims were found. Durfee said "Foreign bodies were found deeply "imbedded in Mr.

Frank's pieces of steel wire, cloth fibers and black deposits which were later determined to be manganese dioxide, a substance found in dry cell batteries." Durfee noted that Frank, 32, had taken out his insurance policies within a year preceding the accident. The beneficiary was his wife, a former magazine model and mother of their two children. She has said she'll never believe that Frank killed himself by bombing the plane. The conspiracy hint came when Durfee said questions "which relate to possible criminal charges are still under investigation." Sen. Warren G.

Magnuson (D- Wash) told a reporter Durfee's remark about criminal charges indicated to him the explosion might have been plotted by two or more persons. It was obvious no criminal charges could be brought against anyone on the plane, since all aboard died. Durfee was asked what is being done to find the wreckage of another plane operated by National Airlines which plunged into the Gulf of Mexico Nov. 16, killing 42.

Durfee said the CAB has asked he Navy to make an extended search in part of the gulf where tools brought up dark blue paint like that on the lost plane.

Child Rescued From Icebox HOUSTON, Tex. (AP) Jean Allgayer found her son Ronnie, 4, nude and "nearly blue with cold" after two hours in a refrigerator Tuesday. Ronnie told her he and a girl playmate used the refrigerator for a tub while they played "taking a bath." He shucked his clothes and crawled inside. The little girl slammed the door. Mrs.

Ailgayer awoke from a nap and started hunting Ronnie in the apartment house where they live. Finally she heard Ronnie's muffled voice from an untenanted apartment: Mommie! I'm me out!" At City-County Hospital, doctors ordered a hot bath for Ronnie. He appeared to suffer no ill effects. Teen-Ager Held In Girl Slaying BILLINGS, Mont. (AP) A teen-age boy was arrested at his home Tuesday after officers followed a snowy trail of blood and footprints from the home of a slain 15-year-old girl two blocks away.

Detectives sairt the boy, also 15, wore clothes stained with blood. They quoted him as saying he had fallen and bloodied his nose while walking Monday night. It was then that blonde Judie Anderson, a popular high school sophomore, was stabbed and beaten to death while alone in her parents' eight-room home. Juvenile authorities took custody of the boy on a petition filed by County Ally. William J.

Speare and signed by Dist. Judge Charles B. Sande. The judge and juvenile officers refused to say whether charges have been filed. The boys' identity is protected under Montana iaw which requires that minors not be namec in juvenile court cases.

The slender, curly-hairec youngster was described as a cas ual acquaintance of the girl. They attended different high schools Judie was stabbed 25 times in the neck and shoulders with a pair of scissors. A rifle whose shattered stock was found near her body was used to bludgeon her head. Police Chief R. L.

Wilson said the girl apparently had not betn scxtially mistreated. He was un able to a motive for the crime, SACRAMENTO, Calif. Caryl Chessman, writing what he eared would be his last lei let- old Gov. Edmund Brown a miss- body would prove he is innocent of the crimes for which he vas condemned. The letter, released uesday by Brown, did not iden- ify the body or tell how it would him.

Chessman, 3S, said he had other evidence which, "in the absence of the body, would be by itself vorthless." He termed the evidence he had "like a jigsaw mzzle." Chessman said the body, of a man, was missing when he sent a representative to look for it. He id not say where the search was. Brown released the letter, remarking that Chessman had agreed to making it public after asking earlier that it be kept con- idential. Chessman was condemned' in 948 at Los Angeles for kidnaping with bodily harm. Among the hings he was convicted of at that ime was forcing two women to to unnatural sex acts.

Eight times execution dates lave been set for him. In grant- ng him a 60-day reprieve Friday, he governor said he wanted to ake the abolition of capital pun- shment before the California Brown also noted the State Department had sent him a telegram warning that the execution could lead to hostile demonstrations during President Eisenhower's Latin American trip. George T. Davis, 'one of Chessman's attorneys, told newsmen in San Francisco he was filing papers with the secretary of state in Sacramento today for the incorporation of "The People Against Capital Punishment, Inc. Then he had newsmen listen to a telephone over which soloist Ronnie Hawkins in New York san "The Ballad of Caryl Chessman." The call to New York was with Morris Levy, president of Roulette Records.

The a I- lad was written by Al Hoffman and Dick Manning. Davis said the convict-dut or plans another letter to Brown and "wants to offer the governor an unequivocal way out." He did not say what that would be. The governor says the last Chessman letter was not a factor in the reprieve, merely a last desperate effort in Chessman's ear fight to evade the San Qucntin Prison gas chamber. A court hearing is to be held Thursday in Los Angeles to srl a nesv execution date for Chessman. Prosecutor Says Carole Ready With Murder Kit HOSPITALS ST.

Ill I Kast Pirlf 4-7S2I LOS ANGELES A prosecutor has charged in final arguments to the Finch murder trial jury; 1. Carole Trcgoff stood ready vith the so-called murder kit as icr lover, Dr.

R. Bernard Finch, struggled with his wife. 2. The society surgeon am- his wife, cracked her skull, shot her to death, then stalked icr maid. And if he'd found the maid, "She wouldn't have testi- ied on this witness stand." It was the first prosecution claim that Finch planned to harm maid.

It presented no such Stern-faced Deputy Dist. Atty. lifford Crail shook an accusing 'inger at Finch and Miss Tregoff Tuesday as he thunderously accused them of trying to weave a story lo fit the fads and escape a murder conviction. Finch, 42, and his 23-year-old mistress sat impassive. They are charged with killing his wife, Barbara Jean, 36, last July 18 outside the $65,000 Finch estate in suburban West Covina.

The handsome, wealthy doctor says the gun went off accidentally as he tried to throw it away after wresting it from his wife. She was shot in the back. The family maid, slim, blonde Marie Anne Lidholm, 19, interrupted the scuffle in the Finch garage. She was a star state's witness. Crail told the jury of five men and seven women that Finch shot his fleeing wife, then returned to the garage, hunting Miss Lidholm.

She had run into the house to call police. Crail scathingly accused the doctor of "cutting (he pattern lo fit the his story around the story lold by Marie Anne without disputing her." But he pointed out 16 ways he said their stories differed. He fold the jury: "You've got (o decide whether you're going to believe this pointed at this pointed at Marie Anne Lidholm. And 1 don't believe your decision in that regard is going lo be too difficult." One poinl of difference: whether the doctor cried out for Carole afler Ihe struggling in the garage began. "He didn't have to call Carole Tregoff, said Crail, "because he knew where she outside the door on the lawn, with the little kit, to be called in at the proper time.

Bui that lime didn't come because of the resistance of Mrs. Finch, and the intervenlion of Marie Anne Lidholm." An attache case which the doc- lor said was an emergency mcdi- kit was found near the home. It contained a hammer, bulcher knife, pistol bullets, clothesline, rubber sheet, sleep-inducing drugs and hypodermics.
