resolution late Saturday urging France and the Algerian rebel government 1o negotiate a settlement of the four-year-old war in North Africa But the resolution appeared headed for rejection -in the 82-nation General Assembly because of failure to win the nccessaiy two-thirds majority The vote in the committee was 32 to 18 with 30 abstentions The United States and Britain voted no while the Soviet Union and its entire Soviet bloc voted yes The assembly was set to consider the resolution at a night meeting winding up a lackluster three months session In addition to being unable to reach any decisive agreement at the 1958 session over the future of Algeria UN diplomats failed to break the East-West deadlock on outer space Representatives of the Asian African countries pleaded in vain for enough support to assure Assembly approval of the resolution France boycotted the debate Previous assemblies have been able to teach agreement only on mildly-worded hopes tor a "peaceful

fa missing and fa presumed to have Riven his life to science The tiny one-pound monkey Gordo survived a meteor like ascent tc about 300 miles above the earth but disappeared In the ocean when a technical mishap prevented recovery of the nose cone of an Army Jupiter missile The pore cone to which Gordo rode splashed into the Atlantic about 1500 miles from the launching point at Cape Canaveral Fla The previously proved method for reroveriiig a rone before it sinks failed this time The Army announced six hours later if ha4 given up the search for tiie little space ship For about 13 minutes an automatic radio transmitter which was linked to microphones thermometers and other equipment sent bark data on how Gordo was "valuable scientific scientists called tt In general the radioed data showed onU mild changes in Gordo's physical condition as tha Jupiter roared away from earth and arched out beyond the atmosphere His heart beat stepped up slightly as the pull ot gravity multiplied In the first phase ot flight but remained generally normal thereafter For about eight minutes while (he rocket waa out beyond the atmosphere and curving along an are which counteracted gravity Gonlo went through an experience that will come to man to weightlessness The 500 seconds this condition prevailed said the Army far exceeded any similar period for monkeys used in previous tests Monkeys as well as mice have been used to previous weighles condition testa and in actual rocket firings These included the shoot of two much bigger monkeys to sn Air three experiment to 1953 Both of these monxeys survived without trouble The Russian put a dog into one of their satellites and claimed it lived about a week while the vehicle orbited the earth The Navy worked with the Army in experiment Doctors ot both services collaborated The Navy provided three ships and several airplanes deploying them in the target area where the plan was to pluck the nose cone out of the ocean before it could link The big rocket booster the compartment containing missile data equipment and the nose cone in which Gordo rode were seen as they re-entered the earth's atmosphere separately high above the target zone But an announcement said there waa "a mishap in the tricky recovery and the rone waa lost in the sea Gordo a South American squirrel monkey wss scarcely a handful to size In his while furred fare two brilliant black eyes peered out above a clown's nose The army said this type of monkey wss selected because it moat closely resembles man of all animals which at the same time are of a size to fit

switchboard operator was on the line "Mr she said "I hate to disturb you but Pearl Harbor has been attacked by the Japanese and I thought you should know I thanked her and asked her to make several calls to key men in the organization telling them we would be getting out an extra (which was done in those days when something very big happened) and for them please to come to the office as soon as

operator who was as pretty as she was efficient for calling me but I couldn't figure out how she found out I was at the Keith residence on Pickens street facing the University campus It was several
