A roommate of Wiggins told the CAROLIN IAN that he was going to attend the funeral in New York Thurs day, which will be held at St. Phillips Episcopal Church. He is survived by his mother and grandparents. Wiggins is said to have left his room in a building which is part of the John Winters Complex, on East St., to go to the campus of Shaw University. It is believed that Blount St. was the route that he and many other boys, who live in the building and attend the universi ty live, use daily. ft was re ported that he had visited the campus and was returning to his room when he met his death. ASTRONAUT item mi* 1) Among survivors are his wife, Barbara; his son, Tra cey, 8; mother, Mrs. G, W. Duncan, father, Robert H, Law rence, Sr., ana sister, Barbara E. Lawrence. He was the only astronaut-de signee in the Air Force's Man ned Orbiting laboratory pro gram (MOL) with a doctor of philosophy degree in physi cal chemistry - from Ohio State university. Had he lived, he might have taken part in a 1970 space flight in a Gemini B. capsule, sche duled to orbit the earth for 30 days. Instead, he returned home to Chicago to stay. And for many of his acquaintances, his final homecoming brought back memories of a studious young ster interested in science - and an excellent piano player, as well. As a child, he enjoyed watch ing airplanes take off and land and made a hobby of building model airplanes. Eleven years ago, he entered the Air Force through the ROTC program at Bradley University Peoria, 111., going into flight training after graduation. He became interested in the space program while at Ohio State University. Applying or the program in 1965, he became one of 16 per sons chosen for astronaut train ing in June, 1967. He was select ed from a field of 500 appli cants. But then, he was wiped out by his lifelong ambition to see the heavens for himself. Thus, he joined other explorers of the world who gave their lives that man's knowledge of his uni verse might be expanded.

He related how he heard Ron Caldwell, screaming for help, having sur vived the crash. He says he began swimming toward him, but before he reached him he went down ana he anew ms ef forts were futile. Failing in this effort to save a life, he heard Carl Cunning ham, but he was too far away and he too went down. Thus it is believed that the three lived after the crash, but Cald well and Cunningham were claimed by the icy waters of the lake.

The tribute to Bishop Hood was arranged by Eureka Lodge # 3, which he founded. Paul Jones, Most Wonderful Master, presided over the meeting. Clark S. Brown, Grand Master, re-echoed what Bishop Shaw said and admonished the broth ers to reach for newer hori sons, higher goals and a fel lowship of brotherhood that symbolizes the tenets of Prince Hall Masonry.

Later, in Paris, he declared, "We don’t want peace in Viet nam. We want the Vietnamese to defeat the United States of America. "Our aim is to disrupt the U nited States of America, and we think our blood is not too high a price to pay," he said, ap parently referringto black pow er advocates in the United States. Carmichael, one of the Jurors at the "War Crimes Tribunal" in Denmark, declared the Viet namese to be our brothers," as well as "our comrades in arms." The fiery black power leader oddly enough had trouble enter ing France, whose president, Charles de Gaulle, hates the U nited States only slightly less than Carmichael. High government officials in tervened and reversed a police ruling which would have deport ed Carmichael. Police had told him he was an * 'undesirable character" and held him incommunicado. Even a lawyer hired by French friends was not allowed to see him. Carmichael, however, said nothing about his treatment, apparently figuring that his ene my’s foe is his friend, police abuse notwithstanding Brown, like Carmichael, was having his own troubles with the law in the United States, after being indicted for stirring up racial unrest. And like Carmichael, Brown was talking of armed stuggle but in a more specific context.
