In. today. The robber, wearing large dark glasses, olive-drab fatigues and beige tennis shoes, waved six customers, two children and a teen?ager aside as he entered the bank. THE ROBBER handed a large cloth bag to a woman teller. She put money in the bag and tried to return it to the robber. He ordered 31er to pass it along to two other tellers, who also put money into the bag. Another bank employe was talking on the telephone when the robber entered. He ordered her to hang up. She did, pushing an alaIm button at the same time. Witnesses said the man was wearing a helmet liner. THE GETAWAY car, a light-green 1949 Ford, was found by Deputy Sheriff William P. Gorsline in 144th Avenue Southeast, off the Power Line Road, at 12:15 p. m. A helmet liner was found near the car. Wrong Orbit, Landing Saturn Trouble May SIow Moon Trip By JIM STROTMAN Associated Press CAPE KENNEDY America?s second Saturn super rocket hurled a 1321011 payload into the wrong orbit today and caused its unmanned Apollo moonship to land about 250 miles short of a Pacific target zone, after a troubled ?ight that could delay the man-to-the-moon program. Three of 11 primary engines failed aboard the towering Saturn the type booster being deveIOped to send astro- nauts to the moon, casting doubts whether the rocket is ready to orbit men- If the ?ight had been in- tended to propel astronauts to the moon, ?W'e would have had to conduct an al? ternate mission to Earth orbit,? said Maj. Gen. Samu- el C. Phillips, director of the National Aeronautics and Space Administration?s Apol- lo program office. OBJECTIVE of hav? ing a propulsion system function properly on each stage was not met," Phillips said. ?It certainly makes this less than a perfect mis- sion." While troubles developed with the Saturn V, its Apollo spacecraft payioad per- formed well throughout the 9-hour, 56-minute ?ight. The moonship powered itself to a lofty altitude 13,&ll miles over the Indian Ocean, then survived a fiery re-entry dive through the Earth?s at- mosphere and parachuted into the Pacific Ocean. Because of the Saturn different path than planned and landed 500 miles north of Hawaii, about 250 miles northwest of its original splashdown target area, NASA said. THE REJUGGLED flight plan also caused the space? craft to re-enter Earth?s at- :mosphere about 4,000 miles an hour slower than original- ly desired. Officials had hoped the craft would barrel hrough the atmosphere at 25,000 miles an hour to test the Apollo heat shield. The helicopter-carryhig as- sault ship Okinawa, prime recovery vessel, began head- ing toward the new landing site several hours before the splashdown, but was still about 85 miles away from Apollo 6 when the craft land- ed. Aircraft deployed to the scene and confirmed that the craft?s main parachutes un- furled as planned and plot- rocket problems, however, ted the ship?s position on the the moonship had to fly a ocean.

MARINE PATROL PUSHED FORWARD ON DU STY ROUTE 9 TOWARD BASE AT KHE SANH Sign dated from late attempt to open the road to the base 111 November. l%7 No Speed Limit Needed an Rood CA LU, Vietnam (UPI) There are no speeders on Highway 9. The marines driving west had gone eight miles in three days by yesterday and the last three miles to the sur? rounded fort of Khe Sanh might, they said, take eight days or two weeks. ?Hey, man, I aim to drive the first vehicle into Khe Sanh,? shouted Bill Blunt, 20, of Youngstown, Ohio, to the marines inching ahead of the jeep he drove. BUT BILL CAN move ahead only, at most, about 100 yards at a time. That is usually the distance between the mines the North Vietnamese laid on Highway 9. The rule here is safety first. Blunt?s jeep carries the big 106-mm recoilless rifle that is the main comfort of the 150 marine engineers spear- heading the road-running part of Operation Pegasus, the allied drive to lift the 75-day-old Communist siege of Khe Sanh. Advance elements of the relief force drove to within a half mile of the Khe Sanh base today. About 80 rounds of enemy artillery and mortar fire hit the base. Marines strik- ing out from the base were reported engaged in fighting w1th the North Vietnamese in the hills to the west. (the Communists) knows for sure What will be mining this road like crazy,? said Marine Capt. Randy Brinkley of Valdese, N. C., com- mander of Delta Company which is clearing the road. ?We?re walking toward Khe Sanh and he probably is walking just as hard from the other direction.? 5 Face Imprisonment ?This is going to be a bad, bad stretch. We?ve got some good reserves to back us up if we get into trouble,? Brinkley said. Highway 9 has no danger signs. It needs none. The 11- foot~high elephant grass on either side is guerrilla stuff. Sgt. Drew Studebaker of Muncie, Ind, and his four engineers leave Blunt to watch the grass. They watch the dusty white roadbed twisting through the mountain jungle. ?Prober up!? one yells. A marine runs up and begins pecking into the dirt and the asphalt with his bayonet, searching for mines. Studebaker?s men and their long- Vietnam Reds In VWar informants today said they expect preliminary Vietnam peace talks to begin Moscow next week. They said the North Vietnamese already have assured the United States privately they will begin no major offensive if all American bombing attacks are halted. The sources, who cannot be identified by name, said? Hanoi already has begun lifting the siege of Khe Sanh as a sign of its intentions. None of these statements could be confirmed in official Western circles THE OFFICIALS CAUTIONED, however, against ex- pecting an early end to the peace negotiations. They said they expected them to go on for months. Other sources recalled that 12,000 Americans were killed in Korea while truce talks were going on The Russian informants said Moscow was not con- sulted by Hanoi before yesterday?s conditional acceptanCe .. of President Johnson?s call for peace talks. (President Johnson will confer with former President Eisenhower be- fore flying to Hawaii tomorrow for conferences with diplo- matic leaders. Page A.) They said that in view of Peking?s present relatively low influence in the NOrth Vietnamese capital, they did not believe the Red Chinese were consulted either. ?What you Americans seem to find hard to realize is that North Vietnam is a sovereign nation,? one Russian? said. They said they expected the preliminary talks to get under way ?very quickly?probably next week.? THE INFORMANTS ADDED that they believe the only possible sites for such talks are Moscow or Paris and that the Soviet capital has a 60:40 chance of being chosen. . Moscow is the only capital in the world with Ameri? can, North Vietnamese and Viet-Cong diplomatic repr.e~? sentatives. Paris has a diplomatic mission from Hanoi but no official representative of the National Liberation Front, the political arm of the Viet?Cong. The Soviet informants said they believe a major stum? bling block, once real peace negotiations get under way, will be the demand that the Americans withdraw from South, Vietnam. They said this is a prime issue in Hanoi?s eyes and that the North Vietnamese want a definite agreement that United States withdrawal will begin the moment a peace pact is signed and be completed within a fixed time. The Russians are skeptical that Washington will agree to this. THE SOURCES SAID they expect the preliminary talks to be fairly short. They said Moscow ?has certain knowledge? that Hanoi has assured Washington pr1 vatelythat after a complete halt in bombing and other attacks on North Vietnam, the Commu?? nist forces, both Viet?COng and North Vietnamese, will re? frain from making any major offensive until conclusion of breakdown of peace negotiations. The informants said Hanoi is ready for private or public talks, in accord with Washington?s views, both in the preliminary and the peace-conference stages. They said the North Vietnamese prefer direct ngotia? tions between Hanoi and Washington but are willing to con- sider any other participant in the peace negotiations that the United States might propose. (Circumstances now are very similar to those that led to truce talks 1n the Korean war. Page A.) stemmed detectors move out ahead, like slow-motion carpet sweepers. Blunt eases his jeep ahead a few feet. THE NORTH VIETNAMESE have been using the road to haul their freight since September. They did not leave it in good shape. Brinkley knows his men will have to build at least 17 bridges, one of them across a 180-foot wide gorge just before Khe Sanh. Studebaker?s team moves ahead 1,000 yards with no mines found. The sergeant is worried. ?Things are just too quiet. Charlie must have something up his sleeve.? He glances down the slopes where thousands of allied troops are thrashing through brush, protecting the road crew. Up ahead helichpters spit fire at an unseen enemy. Brinkley watches a bulldozer clear away boulders and brush and uncover a low bridge. No one runs to it. It?s probably booby trapped . (The marines at Khe Sanh relax and watch their relief force march toward them. Page A.)

Dr. Forbes Bottomly, su~ perintendent of schools, said the nine students suspended were identi?ed by Ralph ?as being in his office and parti- cipating in the defiance of authority.? ?They will have an Oppor- tunity to seek readmission by appealing to the superin- tendent and this will be de? termined thrOugh discussions with their parents about their future,? Bottomly said. am convinced that the parents of the students at Franklin High School want order and good discipline to be maintained at that school. I am also convinced that the vast majority of the students of Franklin want to continue their studies and pursue their programs free from the turmoil inflicted by outsid- ers. ?Therefore, disciplinary action is being taken with Franklin students who have been identi?ed as having taken part in the disturbance last Friday. Also, charges are being ?led against those outsiders who unlawftu en- tered the building and parti- cipated in the demenstra? tion. ?While the district stands ready at all times to discuss grievances with students and parents, it will also, with the support of the city and coun- ty, use whatever means are Weather Bureau forecast: tonight- Partly sunny tomorrow- High, 48; low tonight, 40.

Shulman, assist- ant chief criminal deputy, said the unlawful-assembly charge is a gross misde- meanor that carries a pen- alty of up to six months imprisonment and a $500 fine. Justice Court Judge Evans D. Manolides set bail on each of the five charged at $1,500. The charge asserts the five willfully and unlawfully did assemble with two or more persons with intent to carry out a purpose in such manner as to disturb the public peace. The charge ac- cuses them of attempting or threatening an act tending toward a breach of the peace and of injury to per- sons or property. - ReportS?were that up to 100 Negro youths, between 60 and 70 of them Franklin stu~ dents, demonstrated at the school Friday and entered the principal?s of?ce.

North Vietnam?s official news agency earlier today said planes bombed a popu- lated area northwest of Hanoi far north of the line beyond which American planes are not to bomb dur- ing Mr. Johnson?s peace drive. Assistant Secretary of De- fense Phil G.

This did not rule out the possibility that some made,? vertent or accidental bomb- ing damage may have oc- curred over the North. And the chance of an inad- vertent strike on North Viet- namese territory near Laosj where United States planes are still allowed to bomb created concern the administration?s move to: ward peace talks might be torpedoed.
