(UPI) -Airline stewardess Francoise de Moriere vanished in a "whoosh of air" Friday night when she was pulled 1,500 feet to her death by the slipstream rushing past an accidentally opened service door on her airport-bound Allegheny Airliner. Civil Aeronautics Board (CAB) and Connecticut state investigators today sought the reason for the freak in-flight mishap that sent the 29-year-old French-born stewardess hurtling screaming to her death in the Connecticut woodlands near the capital of Hartford. A formal hearing was tentative called for (9 a.m.

EDT) today. None of the other 50 passengers and crew members was injured when the top-hinged door at the rear of the twin Convair somehow opened at 1,500 feet as Allegheny Airlines flight 928 was going in for a landing at Bradley Field here. The second stewardess on the flight, Katherine E. Lacy, 22, of Brookline, was in a rest room across the aisle from the service door which blew open. The lavatory door was pulled from its hinges, but two belted-in passengers in the rear of the plane immediately forced it back into place and held it there to protect Miss Lacy, according to passenger Charles Mack, Springfield, who also was sitting in the tail.

Miss Lacy, on the advise of the flight crew, remained in the lavatory until the plane landed. Mack said there was not much suction after the immediate rush air when the service door opened and Miss De Moriere was pulled from the plane. He said he had "no idea" whether Miss Lacy, the stewardess in the rest room, was in danger of being pulled from the plane by the slipstream. Barium Series Planned Dr. Julian Lake, pastor of Brownson Memorial Church in Southern Pines, will speak at a series of special services which begin Sunday morning at 11 o'clock at Little Joe's Presbyterian Church in Barium Springs.

Rev. Hugh Carter, church pastor, said that 7:30 p.m. services would be held Sunday through Wednesday. Ten o'clock prayer services will begin Monday and continue through Wednesday. Carolina LANDMARK NEW REPORTER-George W.

Stock Market Takes Tumble NEW YORK (UPI) Massive selling, apparently triggered by discouraging news about the nation's economy, drove stock market prices Friday to their lowest level in more than three weeks. A late rally near the end of the trading session recouped some of the losses but was not firm enough to make much of a hole in the day's losses estimated by Standard Poor to have cost the market $3.95 billion.

A wide variety of stocks was caught up in the sell-off which involved 1,297 issues, the broadest trading since July 10. A 20-session high of 4,650,000 shares, up some 1,480,000 from the previous day, held up the high-speed ticker tape several times during the hectic trading which found most issues closing near the day's lows. Market analysts blamed the bearish trend on a number of factors: A statement by a top executive that there would be a mild economic downturn during the first half of 1963. A marked downturn in September housing activity. A statement by presidential adviser Walter E.

Heller that the gross national product for 1962 would be at least $10 billion short of the $567 billion goal. Heavy Waves Of Communists Hit Defenders ABC Today's Net Press Run 12,820 Kennedy Flying Back To Capital From Campaign A from Statesville. Edith CHICAGO (UPI) President Kennedy today canceled the remainder of a scheduled sevenstate weekend campaign tour and prepared to fly back to Washington immediately because his doctor found I him to be suffering from a "slight upper respiratory infection." Canceled because of the President's ailment were political speeches set for today in St. N.M., and Las Vegas, Nev. The President also will be unable to keep his Sunday date at Seattle, on the closing day of the World's Fair.

Press secretary Pierre Salinger said Kennedy probably would go to bed at the White House upon his return there in the early afternoon. Salinger told reporters: "The President canceled his schedule on the advice of his doctor, Dr. George Burckley, who noticed this morning that the President's voice was husky. "He checked the President's temperature and discovered that he had one degree above normal and a slight upper respiratory infection." "The principal part of the activity today was to have been outas door rallies and the doctor urged the President to cancel these rallies and return to Washington." Kennedy has been campaigning intensively across the nation over a series of recent weekends. Two weeks ago he developed a slight C.

cold but it did not inhibit his travls. In one of his major weekend speeches, Kennedy served notice Friday night that he didn't want to see Sen. Everet Dirksen, the Senate minority leader, returned to Washington this year. In one speech at Springfield and in two at Chicago, the barnstorming President attacked Dirksen and pleaded for the election of the "one candidate" in the Illinois senatorial election who he said has fought for his programDemocratic Rep. Sidney R.

Yates of Chicago. College Plan Is Opposed RALEIGH (UPI) In a ninepage letter, the presidents of 15 leges have urged Gov. Sanprivate and church supported colford to abandon the idea of establishing junior colleges and instead support the private churchsupported institutions. The presidents said that in 1961 three senior colleges in South Carolina, the University of South Carolina, Clemson and Furman, had vacant seats totaling 1,197. They said a similar situation existed in the Tar Heel state.

In their argument against additional public-supported colleges, they said the state and local governments would have to find some $100 million to pay for them. The presidents asked Sanford to give consideration to establishing scholarship funds which could be used by needy students to attend either junior or senior private institutions. 18 Years Given To Bank Bandit SALISBURY (UPI) Ralph Harris was sentenced to 18 years in prison late Friday night for robbing a Cleveland, N. bank of $14,768. Harris, 33, of Taylorsville, was convicted earlier in the day by an all-male U.

S. district court jury after he had presented his own defense. Two other men charged in connection with the June 26 robbery, Delma Cope, 33, of Mount Holly, and Charles D. Marley, 38, of Lenoir, waived trial by jury and were found guilty by Judge Edwin Stanley of conspiring to rob the bank. AEC ANNOUNCES TEST WASHINGTON (UPI) The Atomic Energy Commission Friday announced another underground nuclear test at its Nevada test site.

NEW DELHI, India (UPI) Communist Chinese troops attacked in "successive waves" and drove defending Indian forces back at several points in bitter fighting along their disputed border today. Indian Defense Minister V. K. Krishna Menon said the Chinese smashed Indian defenders out of several outposts at both ends of the remote border in the high Himalayan Mountains.

At least one Indian outpost "fought to the last round before it fell," he said. Krishna Menon said his troops were, outnumbered and outgunned he described as a "battle" which still was raging this afternoon. He said Indian troops were killing four times as many Chinese as they themselves lost, despite the Red advance. Krishna Menon said the Indians lost "one or two" posts in Ladakh and fell back behind the Namka Chu River just south of the McMahon Line in India's Northeast Frontier Agency. The McMahon line is the der between India, Communistcontrolled Tibet and Communist China which originally was set up in 1914 by British official Sir Henry McMahon.

The Chinese government never has accepted the border. Krishna Menon was reluctant to give precise figures on the Communist Chinese advance. But it was understood the Reds had hit along a 15 to 20-mile front, and had thrust three or four miles south of the Indian-claimed border area. Krishna Menon told a news conference earlier in the day the Chinese Communists were guilty of "premeditated and concerted" attacks. Peiping's New China News Agency reported the fighting first and said the Indians had started it with a "large-scale frenzied attack." It said the Chinese had suffered "heavy losses" but were fighting back fiercely.

Krishna Menon said the Reds fired at Indian planes from the ground. He said that so far neither side has used combat planes. "Last night the Chinese fired heavily on one of our posts in NEFA (Northeast Frontier Agency) for about one hour," Krishna Menon said in a prepared statement. "The Chinese have concentrated very large forces in that area and they are all being used."

Clay Gryder, Republican candidate for sheriff, said the budget of the sheriff's department has grown from $18.000 to $83,000 "during one man's term." He said ail this money "is not Charlie's.".
