In the previous six tests the only success came March 17 when a 3%~pound ball plopped into an orbit that may last 200 years.

cs. Coal Pile Said Shrinking ,

SYDNEY (CPl—Cape Breton’s record coal ‘pile continued to shrink during the last two weeks as coal - carrying ships hauled their cargoes up the St. Lawrence to Montreal and other river ports.

The coal ba ' , which reached a peak of more than 1,400,000 tons early this year, are now down to 528,000 tons. A huge coal pile off Victoria Road here now contains 517,000 tons. The banks showed a decline of‘over 50,000 tons in the last two weeks.

Dominion Steel and Coal Cor- poration asked and received fed- eral and provincial financial aid this spring to finance’ the big stockpile. The coal piled up dur- ing the winter when the company decided to stock it rather than shut down collieries. The shut- downs were postponed until this summer.

RANGOON, Burma (APl—The army seized power Friday night in Burma. Gen. Ne Win, com- mander - in - chief of the armed forces, was asked to head a new government and he agreed.

The bloodless coup apparently was designed to prevent Burma’s shaky government from drifting into Communist hands.

Premier U Nu announced Ne Win had accepted an invitation to head a government and had agreed to hold general elections before next April 30.

Appealing to the people to give their support to the general, U Nu said in a radio broadcast:

“We intend to hold general elections in November this Year, but we came _to realize, that the general elections to be held in November could not be freeand fair. I invited Gen. Ne Win to make arrangements essential for holding such free elections within six months. I am glad to say Ne

The army take over apparently came without incident.

The well - organized operation put troops in control of all major cities and towns in this steaming Southeast Asian republic, which shares a 1,500-mi1e border with Communist China.

The army said it was acting to preserve democracy and law and order as well as put an end to political strife which has pro- duced most of the growing pains in Burma since Britain granted 1.1.38er; -- 1.
