TUESDAY, APRIL 25, 1 967 Founded February 23. 1893 fjfe 5Fn oft 0 - " I,, Russian Cosmonaut Killed MOSCOW Parachute straps of Soyuz 1 fouled Monday in landing preparations more than four miles aloft and the new spaceship plunged to earth, killing cosmonaut Vladmir Komarov, the government an nounced. The first announced fatality in space flight of eith er the United States or the Soviet Union came after the Soyuz, the latest and presumably the most so phisticated of Russian spaceships, had completed more than 24 hours in orbit on its maiden voyage. It was the first Soviet space flight in 25 months. The accident cast gloom over the nation an,d may delay the Soviet race to the moon with the United State as scientists try to find out what went wrong. Unexplained was why 40-year-old Komarov, veter an of a previous space flight, failed to eject. All Soviet spacecraft are presumed to have built-in safety ejec tion devices. One possible explanation was that the tangled parachute straps kept the ejection system from working. Expressing sorrow at the cosmonaut's death, James E. Webb called Washington for U. S. - Soviet co operation in space. The administrator of the Na tional Aeronautics and space Administration said such cooperation might have prevented the space accident and the one last Jan. 27 in which three U. S. Apollo astronauts ,died in a spacecraft fire aground. Informed Washington sources also said Soviet sci entists apparently made several attempts to bring the Soyuz to earth before it crashed. A feeling that something had gone wrong swept Moscow after all Soviet news media fell silent follow ing a Tass early morning announcement that the spaceship was functioning normally and Komarov was well. The government newspaper Zvestia delayed its evening edition without explanation. Then lLhours after that report, came a terse Tass bulletin and the news broke on Moscow radio and television. U. S. Hits Mig Bases SAIGON The United States added Communist MIG bases to the list of targets in North Vietnam Mon day with Air Force and Navy fighter bombers pound ing two important fields in Hanoi's defense shield. The attacks amounted to a stepup that some believe could eventually bring Red China into the war. MIG bases have been avoided up to now because Pentagon officials felt MIG interception of U.S. raids on the North were negligible. But there also has been a fear that by- bombing these enemy air bases, the United States would force North Vietnamese MIGS to use bases in Communist China, from which they could operate more boldly and possibly draw U.S. planes across the border. The strikes on the MIG bases fit into a pattern of increased activity on the entire war scene. Greece Under Martial Law ATHENS Greece's Army dictators set up na tionwide military courts Monday to try all crimes un der martial law. At the same time, King Constantine's continued silence underlined diplomatic reports that he disap proved of the weekend coup. Political officers at some embassies here said they were convinced that the 26-year-old king had refused to sign the army takeover decree. Reports abroad re flected the same feeling. A source at one embassy in contact with Constantine said the king still is under heavy pressure to endorse the military seizure of pow er. There was no evidence the king was actually un der detention,' although a report that he was circulated abroad. With the army takeover last Friday had come un limited power of trial for all crimes including politi cal offenses. The imposition of courts - martial, in it self a sign that the military regime looked forward to a long stay in power, included announcement that per sons arrested Friday would not come under court martial jurisdiction. Bagging Permits Delayed RALEIGH It will be at least 10 days before the North Carolina Alcoholic Beveral Control Board can issue liquor brown-bagging permits. " . State ABC Director Ray Brady said Monday, m an interview: . , t v "None of the permits or application forms has been printed. It's going to take a little longer than we thought before we can issue -the licenses."

They plan to organize a march through downtown Greensboro next Sunday in conjunction witn the strike voting at the Cone Mills. The workers voted to set up a permanent committee, to be called the Textile Workers Conference, to "assist the locals in any way," accord ing to Leonard Slate. The Conference would embrace all the textile workers, not just the Cone Mill workers. The new Conference will start a monthly newsletter. The professors there agreed to circulate a statement of support for the union, get sig natures to it, and publish it in the Greensboro Daily News, the Charlotte Observ er, and the Raleigh News & Observer. Most of the workers pres ent came from the Cone and the Chatham Mills within the state. The Chatham Mills just concluded a seven day strike. A contingent of workers was there from the largest union local in the South, the Lowenstein Co. mill in Rock Hill, S. C. Another group came from a recently or ganized mill in Martinsville, Va.

The Southern Student Or ganizing Committee had sev- eral representatives there Two organizers of migra tory workers in Florida and one from the International Lady's Garment Workers' Un ion attended and offered their opinions on how to make a strike successful. The conference started with services which were attended mostly by vwomn and chil- dren while the men talked with each other and the stu dents huddled together.
