Pontiac’s car will be built on the same 101-inch chassis as Chevrolet’s new Camaro, which was announced officially last week. Panel and grille work will be different and there will be a stretch of over-all length to make it larger than Camaro or Mustang. DISTINCTIVE PANEL It also will have a distinctive instrument panel and different treatment of interior to set it apart from Camaro, but will offer tiie same engine options from a ste-cylinder to a SSOcubic inch high-performance V-8. This car is being planned to compete with UncotahMer-cnry’i new Cougar, which will be an over-sized version of the Mustang. In addition, two cars already on the market. Barracuda by Chrysler and Marlin by American Motors, are being restyled to give then the same long hood, short rear deck styling of the sports car types. This means that all four American auto makers are now in the new field of sports-type cars which E. M.

D. Jameson, 38, both of Battle Creek, when a car driven by Cummings failed to negotiate a turn yesterday on M.L. Avenue abwt four miles south of Galesburg. The powerboat death of a 30-year-old Pontiac man on Oakland Lake late Sunday was due to drowning, an autopsy showed yesterday. Killed in the collision of an allegedly speeding inboard craft and an anchored fishing boat was Walter Balaskey of 74 Florence, the father of four. Lt. Donald K. Kratt, head of the safety division of the Oakland County Sheriff’s Department, said Balaskey was thrown into the waters of the lake by the impact of the col- Oakland Drowning Toll in ’66 16 lision about 11 p.m. Three other persons in the Balaskey boat, the victim’s wife and Mr. and Mrs. Elvin West, also of 74 Florence, suffered minor injuries. Facing a charge of manslaughter in the accident is Harold Ions, 52, of 4489 Parnell, Waterford Township, who allegedly fled to his home across the lake after the collision. By The Associated Press The worst Fourth of July traffic fatality toll on record was reached over this holiday weekend. With last-minute figures coming in slowly today, the toll stood at 559 traffic deaths on the nation’s highways to surpass in a three-day period the four-day record set in 1963. Drownings with 288 were sharply higher than last year’s figure of 114. Boating accidents accounted for 47 deaths. Boating control laws require the operator of a motorboat involved in an accident to stop and identify himself as well as give “reasonable assistance" to any persons injured.

WENT OVER Kratt said Ions’ boat went “right over” the other craft. Witnesses told deputies Ions was cruising at a “reasonable speed then “opened the throttle” when he got close the the Balaskey boat. The collision shattered the starboard hull of the victim’s boat and gouged a trail of propellor marks across the seats of the craft. The National Safety Council had estimated that between 510 and 610 persons would die in traffic accidents this holiday period. OPTIMISTIC WORD But there was an optimistic word from Howard Pyle, council president, even as the death toll mounted. Said Pyle; “After years of inadequate official attention to the traffic problem. Congress is in the process of enacting major legislation that will provide funds lor a number of vital safety activities. “In all our 50-odd years of accident prevention work, we at the council have never been more confident than we are today that the years ahead will see increasingly greater safety on our roads.” “This is the worst boating accident we’ve had in Oakland County since Alan Akerley was killed,” Kratt commented. The Driver Of This Inboard Is Charged With Manslaughter The weatherman may continue the Independence Day fireworks with a thunderbolt or two late tonight or early tomorrow morning as he drops a few scattered showers on the Pontiac area.

One of the two A4 Skyhawks that caught the torpedo boats 38 miles southeast of the main North Vietnamese port was shot down, but the pilot was plucked from the Gulf of Tonkin by a rescue helicopter. ★ ★ ★ A U.S. spokesman said he did not know if the torpedo boats were hit. Area Crashes Kill Detroiter, Orion Man Akerley, a 20-year-old Keego Harbor youth, died 23 months ago in a hit-run accident which law officers are still trying to solve. The worst single accident of the period took 10 lives Sunday 30 miles west of Tucson, Ariz. Two cars collided head on and all of the occupants, Arizona Indians, were killed. MUL’nPLE DEATHS Several other multiple death crashes swelled the count.

Rezoning Is Defended LI'L ONcS The lack of an outlet onto a major thoroughfare was cited by Pontiac city commission today as the prime reason for their refusing last week to rezone a 28-acre parcel on the city’s far east side for a $3-million apartment development. “I’m not opposed to the project itself, and neither are the people in the area,” said District 5 Conunissioner John A.

The beer bottle missed but the heavy cement block, weighing between 10 and 20 pounds, yesterday dented the hood of the royal Rolls Royce only few feet from where the Queen and her husband sat. Neither the Queen nor Prince Philip appear^ upset over the incidents which occurred witUn two nsiimtes of each other in this city of bitter conflict between IrM Protestants and Catholics. Police said the two attacks were not connected and did not stem from political organizations which have triggered religious tensions in northern Ireland. Heavy security precautions had been taken for the two-day royal visit ALONG ROUTE More than 1,000 armed police and security agents were spotted along the route of the royal couple’s motorcade and armored cars stood by in reserve. The limousine was moving slowly through Donegal Square outside the International Hotel when a full bottle of beer saDed over the heads of the crowd and shattered on the road. Police nabbed a gray-haired woman who said she was from Salford, England. 0 * * Two minutes later, in Great Victoria Street, the cement brick, measuring about 12 inches by 4 inches, came hurtling down from the fourth floor of a building under construction. It banged onto the hood just behind the radiator and then fell to the road. The chauffer did not stop. The cheering crowds gasped in horror. About two dozen policemen quickly surrounded the building and seised a man dressed in jeans who said he came from Belfast. Policemen held back the angry crowd when the man was led out.

Banker Knows About Real Job Security OKEENE, Okta. (AP) - O.G. Graalman, vice president of the State Guaranty Bank here, holds the unofficial state record as the banker associated with the same bank in the same location for the longest period of time. He’s been on the job in the local bank for 62 years and still uses the typewriter he acquired more than half a century ago. Dugan said that he would not favor the apartment conqilex even if Bay was completely improved until a second entrance to the development was provided. REAL EFFORT 'I don’t think the developer made a real effort to obtain an opening onto Mount Clemens," said Dugan. He said that he knew that Dresner had obtained an option on a parcel, “and that it was overpriced, but I feel that some agreement could have been reached through negotiations. “This city commission has bent over backward for developers,” said Dugan. ★ ★ * “Criticism of the commission has been unfair,” said Dugan, ’because we have zoned, made land available for somewhere in the neighborhood of 2,500 units which are in various stages of planning. * ★ ★ 'Tve been as cooperative as possible,” Dugan said, "but no one is going to push this type of housing down my throat when there is only one opening.” Commissioner James H.

Eight minutes later, the National Aeronautics and Space Administration announced that the 92-foot second stage had ignited with a 200,000-pound thrust burst and drilled itself into an orbit about 118 miles above the earth. The' launching was held up nearly two hours because of the failure of one of two television cameras located in the fuel tank to monitor behavior of liquid hydrogen fuel. ONE CAMERA Flight c(H)troUers finally decided to launch with only one of the cameras operating. A tracking station at Bermuda reported receiving clear pictures from the camera as the huge stage passed over-head several minutes after lift-off. The controller at Berumda reported the photos showed that the hydrogen was “very stable’ and was “behaving itself very well’’ with only an occasional ripple on the surface. * * ★ Tlie report said gasses evaporating from the hydrogen were being expelled properly to provide a small amount of thrust to help settle the volatile fuel. Officials said several hours would be required to determine how successful the mission was. They termed the early portion highly successful. Success would dear the way for the launching of an nn-nunned Apollo moon ship in August and the flight of a three-man Apollo crew on an earth orbit mission in November. Both would be boosted by Saturn 1 Rockets. Except for the spectacular launching and the size of the satellite, there was no glamour associated with the flight. It was strictly an engineering test determine if the United States has tamed liquid hydrogen as a potent rocket fuel. ★ * ★ The second stage, its instrument package and nose cone weighed 58,537 pounds. The stage is the same as that which will form the third stage of the Saturn 5 rocket which boost men to the moon in two or three years.
