(AP) With time getting short, a legislative committee today entered its third day of talks on how to draw a congressional map that mould be acceptable to the Illinois General Assembly. During a weekend recess, the five Republican and five Democratic members of the conference committee had a chance to weigh proposals put forth Thursday and Friday and to get reaction of their party leaders. Some committee members were outright optimistic about the prospects of producing a compromise on the reapportionment issue. One of them, Rep. Clyde Choate of Anna, Democratic whip, said flatly he believed the committee would reach an agreement.

The committee is faced with the task of reaching agreement by COMMUTERS SIT on tracks of the Rome-Ostia suburban railway in a demonstration against higher fares.

NEA On "Party Purge 4 1l 4 Acilia, Italy, blocking the way in Gas Leak Wipes Out Hopes For '61 Man Orbit By HOWARD BENEDICT CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. (AP) Spacecraft trouble has delayed an attempt to orbit a chimpanzee and virtually wiped out United States' hopes of orbiting a man this year. Project Mercury officials called off Tuesday's scheduled chimp launching after a test Sunday dis closed a gas leak in the space capsule's in-flight control system.

This necessitated removing the two-ton craft from atop the Atlas booster rocket, which is on the launching pad. Inspection, repaid and replacement will take at least a week, perhaps as much as two weeks. Authoritative sources reported the spacecraft trouble was a leak in the hydrogen peroxide gas system which controls the position of the vehicle in flight. The gas is highly corrosive and could have damaged electrical or other systems. Successful completion of the chimpanzee shot this week was al most a must if the National Aero nautics and Space Administration was to have a chance of rocketing a human astronaut into orbit in 1961.

A minimum, of four weeks is required between Mercury-Atlas launchings to qualify all systems. Such a can be met only if all checkouts are. perfect, some thing not yet achieved in prepara tions for Mercury firings. Eight weeks have passed since an Atlas successfully hurled an unmanned capsule into orbit in September. Several minor problems with the complex missile and capsule stertched out the planned four-week checkout period for the chimpanzee shot.

One project source reported: We were down to the point where every day was important. Now, every hour is essential. With fan tastic luck we could still send a man up this year." Others were not so optimistic. Two Soviet cosmonauts orbited earlier this year. Two American astronauts took brief suborbital rocket rides.

The plan calls for the Atlas to hurl the chimp-carrying capsule into orbit 100 to 150 miles above the earth at 17,400 miles an hour. After three sweeps around the I globe, lasting 4i hours, reverse rockets are to slow the vehicle for return to earth. Parachuts are to ease it into the Atlantic Ocean about 1.000 miles southeast of Cape Canaveral. When the launching was postponed, a large part of the Atlantic Fleet, was being deployed across the Atlantic from Cape Canaveral to the African Coast to act as forces.

28 As Time To Renew Geneva Sessions WASHINGTON (AP)-The Unit-Vl States and Britain in simul--taneous notes asked the Soviet Union today to resume nuclear test ban negotiations at Geneva Nov. 28. There was no immediate indication from Moscow whether the offer would be accepted. Valerian Zorin, chief Soviet delegate to the United Nations, indicated last week the chances might be slim. He said a test ban treaty must be worked out' within the framework of general disarmament.

The notes were delivered to the Sov iet Foreign Ministry in Moscow this morning. The American proposal said the U.S. government would consider any date earlier than Nov. 28 the Soviets might propose for opening the talks. Resumption of the conferences would meet a stipulation laid clown by a U.N.

The United States has tested at least four nuclear devices underground and has made preparations to resume atmospheric tests. The previous talks bogged down largely over the American and British desire for a test ban with inspection controls and Soviet in sistence, on-handling the stoppage as part of an over-all disarmament agreement. The U.S. note pointed out that a communique issued when the talks were halted called for a re cess until after completion of U.N. General Assembly debate on nuclear testing.

In a statement issued by the State Department after the text of the note was made public, the de partment accused Soviet Premier Khrushchev of having "conveni ently overlooked" the fact that it was the Soviet Union and not the Western nuclear powers which resumed testing "in an effort, to intimidate and terrorize the world." Press officer Francis W. Tully, speaking for the department, restated the U.S. position when he said that this country "will not abandon the objective of agreement on a comprehensive test ban treaty." But Tully continued, the United States "will pursiM its own program of care folly circumscribed testing until such an agreement is statement described the recent Soviet testing series as "the single most Intensive testing program in history." The series totaled an approximate energy yield of 120 megatons, or 120 million tons of TNT. Officials said that there was no significance in choosing the Nov. 28 date.

Police said his record includes convictions and prison terms for bank robbery and burglary. Doherty told police he visted DeStcfano's home to check reports DeStefano had been missing for a week.

"My government," Bomboko said, "appeals to the United Nations to furnish direct assistance to, and real and effective cooperation with, the government of the Congo. We should be helped in maintaining law and order.

"The United Nations should give us the means to help us reorganize our police and security forces. When that has been done, we will be able to determine that the U.N. action has been completed." Bomboko did not- specify whether the U.N. assistance should extend to military help in ending the secession. But Ethiopian Ambassador Tes-faye Gebre-Egzy, speaking before him, made this point.

"The United Nations," he declared, "should help the efforts of the central government forces in restoring law and order in the province of Katanga." Tesfaye also said the council should authorize acting Secretary-General Thant to use force in getting rid of foreign mercenaries in Katanga. Without these mercenaries, he said, Katanga President Moise Tshombe and foreign interests bolstering him "would Bomboko told the council negotiating with Tshombe to end the secession is useless because "he will accept no negotiations unless his independence is recognized."

Heart Cases, Lung Cancer Near Peaks By JOHN BARBOUR Associated I'm Sclenre Writer DETROIT (AP) Dead men do tell tales. Deaths mark the great epidemics and changing ways of the living and now they may indicate that heart disease and lung cancer are nearine the peak of their deadliness, a scientist said today. Dr. Reimert T.

Ravenholt was a featured speaker at the opening session of the annual meeting of the American Public Health Association. He told of a study 6f death records for the Seattle-King County area that went back 85 years. Recent records indicate that, the death rates from coronary heart disease and lung cancer have ceased to increase for persons under 60, he said, and also indicate that "both these epidemics should reach a plateau or peak within 10 to 15 years." Dr. Ravenhold cited death statistics based on official records and newspapers dating back to 1876, compiled with the aid of University of Washington students. The records for the Seattle area told the story of changing times through the changing ways in which men met their death, he said.

In the same way the study of more recent death statistics can shed tight on modern diseases, said Dr. Ravenholt who is now Public Health Service consultant with the VS. Embassy in Paris. From the statistics you can infer that lung cancer and heart, disease are reaching their high points, he said..
