U.K. COMPOSER mus

LONDON (Reuters) — Joseph Holbrooke, 80, once hailed as one of the most promising British composers, died at his home in London Tuesday night. Hollbrooke first made his mark as a com- poser for orchestra in 1900, when his symphonic poem The Raven— named after the poem by Edgar Allan Poe—nwas played at Lon- don’s Chrystal Palace. Hol- brooke’s works were at one time widely performed, but he was largely forgotten in the latter half of his life.

Defence

CAIPE OANAVEIRAL, Fla. (AP) A BOMARC air defence inter- ceptor missile was launched suc- cessfully by remote control from 1,500 miles away Thursday, but it failed to find its ta let.

The missile, touted as the most highly developed air defence weapon, roared aloft after some one pressed 3 button in Kingston, NY.

The button was connected to one of the world’s largest elec- tronic computers.

The air force announced that the mid-course guidance system failed to function properly as the BIOMARC streaked at three times the speed of sound across the South Atlantic.

The missile was aimed at a simulated enemy bomber—actu- ally an unmanned B-17 drone— crusing some 250 miles off the cape.

Kierdorf, who was burned over 85 per cent of his body Monday, maintained in his, only statement to police that he was abducted by two unilentified men who tossed some fluid on him and set it afire.

Teamster president James R. Hoffa denied Thursday before the Senate r a c k e t s committee at Washington that he ever in- structed Frank Kierdorf to com- mit arson.

HUNT SLOWS DOWN

The intensive police search for the alleged assailants slowed down as investigation uncovered many discrepancies in Kierdorf’s account.

Michigan Attorney Paul L. Adams said Thursday he was convinced that Kierdorf, 56, instead of being the victim of a plot, actually was caught in- a blazing trap he himself had halped start.

Adams said he also believed that Herman Kierd orf,. 68, Frank’s missing uncle and a re- cently resigned official of the Teamsters Union, was “in on the deal.” '

Authorities had q u e stioned Frank Kierdorf many. times in ef- forts to shake his story but he re- fused any further statements.

Two weeks ago the rate was 1.22 per cent. Previous record low was 1.50 per cent established Aug. 4, 1955.

Missile Fails To

SAGE, which means semi-auto- matic ground environment, went into effect June 27.

GOES STRAIGHT UP

The 15,000 - p o 11 nd missile streaked aloft with a huge flash of orange flames, climbing straight up for some 15 seconds. At an al- titude of about 60,000 feet the wea- pon curved over and started to- ward the horizon. A thick white vapor trail traced its course across the Florida sky for about 90 seconds before the missile dis- appeared in a cloud.

The operation was controlled by one of the largest electronic com— puters in the world. It occupies a three-story building convering two acres in Kingston.

Basically, here is how the se-

“I am very proud to say that I am part of this movement,” a member of the board of directors was heard to say yesterday at the 3rd Annual Meeting of the Producer’s Co—Operative held at Birch Court.

Another echoed with “. . .we’ve been living off promises for so long and now we can finally get paid in dividends...” while yet another “...there's not much I can say except that I hope it con- tinues.”

These sentiments were one and all the same feelings that were felt at yesterday’s meeting follow- ing the reading of various state- ments that showed the tremen- dous surge the Association has en- joyed over the past year.

Louis O’Connor, the retiring president of the Association, in his report to the local delegates and representatives indicated that during the 12-month span, gross value of aggregate sales totalled $1,567,587.60, the largest yearly volume to date,

STOCK DOUBLED

He said that as a result of action taken at last year’s an- nual session, stock in the com- pany had doubled. He added that “. . .reserves have increased over four times, and Surplus, six. Our current asset and current liabil- ity relationship is now also favor- able.”

He warned, however, that des- pite the current favorable trend, th: future potential of the As- sociation depended chiefly on the steps taken in order to maintain and ensure a continuing increase in working capital.

It was decided that the date for the next annual meeting be left up to the board of directors.

British P.M.' In Cyprus For Meeting

ATHENS (Reuters) — Prime Minister Macmillan arrived here Thursday night from London for urgent talks with the Greek gov- ernment in a bid to bring peace to Cyprus. .

Macmillan will confer with Greek Premier Constantine Kar- amanlis before flying to Ankara for further talks with Turkish Pre- mier Adrian Men-dares.

Macmilla-n’s M e d i t e rranean mission is aimed at consolidating a truce declared this week by Greek and sTurkish underground groups on Cyprus after fresh riot- ing and guerrilla fighting caused 150 violent deaths there in two months.

The fighting between the Greek and Turkish Cypriot communities results from the deadlock over the island’s political future.
