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. Texas, skipper of the Gulfoil.

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.

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

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- Locate Its Target Plane ‘ quence works: A radar antenna at Patrick air force base, 19 miles south of the Cape, picked up signals from the drone, relaying them to the con- trol centre at Kingston by special cable.

FIVE CENTS“ Will Be Third In History ~ UNITED NATIONS, N.Y. (OF) The United N a t i o n 5 Security Council, reaching a surprise com- promise at the last minute, voted unanimously Thursday night to, call an emergency meeting of the UN General Assembly to deal with the Middle East situation. Faced with opposing United States and Russian motions for the full ill-member parliament of the UN, the nonember council called on the assembly to discuss in general terms the touchy situa- tion caused by the intervention of U.S. and British forces in Jor- dan and Lebanon. Avoided on the one hand was the Soviet Union’s call for the as- sembly to meet on bringing about an i m m ed i at e withdrawal of these troops, and on the other the American contention that the as- sentny meet under the “uniting for peace” precedent. .BRIEF MEETING The assembly will meet today for what will probably be a brief organizational session.
