Shielding their eyes against the sun s glare, the Gemini 12 astronauts chased the moon across South America today and snapped photographs of one of nature’s most spectacular sights: a solar eclipse. For 10 minutes as their space ship raced across the skies, Janies A. Lovell Jr. and Edwin E. Aldrin Jr. were busy cameramen, recording the steady movement of the new moon as it slipped across the face of the sun. to photograph the giant 52-mile^ide shadow of the moon as it slid across Peru, Bolivia, Brazil and Argentina. “We hit the eclipse right on the money,” Lovell reported. “But we were unsuccessful in picking up the shadow.” TOO FAR AWAY “Roger,” answered mission control, “v long way off.” i it would be a For seven or eight seconds the sun was in rare total eclipse and the Gemini 12 pictures may give man his most revealing look at this phenomenon and perhaps answer some scientific riddles. The eclipse over, Gemini 12 sped on toward another important task. At 11:29 a.m, Aldrin was to open his hatch fw a 2-hour 20-minute work session, the first of three he plans outside the craft during the flight in hopes of learning man’s physical limitations in weightless space. Before speeding out over the Atlantic, Lovell and Aldrin pitched the spacecraft nose down in an apparently unsuccessful effort To obtain the eclipse photos, Lovell and Aldrin had to steer Gemini 12 to a precise spot above the Pacific Ocean just off the coast of Peru. Alaska Vote in Doubt for Governor JUNEAU, Alaska (AP) -Gov. William A. Egan, saying the “picture has taken a dramatic turn,” last night ordered the state patrol to guard all ballots from Tuesday’s general election in Alaska. “There is more than a hope that the present administration will remain in Juneau,” said Egan, who last Wednesday conceded defeat to his Republican opponent, Walter J. Hickel, millionaire Anchorage hetel-man. Egan, Democratic chief executive since Alaska gained statehood in 1959, called for the police guard as mudficial returns from remote districts continued to close the gap between the two men. With 383 of Alaska’s 398 precincts reported, Hickel led Egan 30,996 to 29,771 today. Egan said he understood there are about 3,750 absentee ballots that will be counted Wednesday at the Slate’s four district election offices in Nome, Fairbanks, Anchorage and Juneau.

Hickel, long active in Republican party affairs, made his first bid for office this year. He was out of the state today and could not be reached immediately for comment. UNITED NATIONS, N.Y. (AP) — Word that the Communists have used nonlethal gas in Viet Nam may scuttle Soviet bloc efforts in the United Nations to condemn the United States for chemical warfare. The Reds made no mention of a report the Viet Cong had lobbed tear-gas type grenades at U. S. troops when they bropght up the issue of bac- teriological warfare yesterday in the General Assembly’s main political committee. Sentencing Set for Supervisor Hungary’s Ambassador Ka-roly Csatorday, who introduced the resolution, charged that U.S. use of gases and chemicals in Viet Nam was “on the fringe of genocide.” William C. Foster, chief U. S. disarmament negotiator, said Red allegations that th^ United States was using any kind of poison gas in Viet Nam were “absolutely without foundation.” Convicted of Perjury Before Grand Juror Foster did not mention the reported Viet Cong gas attack either, but he emphasized that he would deal with the Communist charges in detail later, in the debate.

U. S. headquarters, reporting this today, said the pilot of one plane was rescued, but the six fliers aboard the other four aircraft are missing. Headquarters also announced that three American helicopters were shot down yesterday while supporting ground operations near the Plei Djereng Special Forces camp in the highlands close to the Cambodian border.

A U.S. spokesman said American troops had also found a cache of gas grenades among enemy arms and ammunition spott^ in abandoned tunnels Thursday. He said they were not of U.S. manufacture. The gas in the grenades was described as nonpoisonous, but the disclosure could ruin the propaganda effect of the Soviet bloc resolution.

Stephen R, reported seeing the plane flying low in fog and rajq squalls, hank steeply to the right, and plunge cartwheeling into the water with a fiery explosion at 1:30 a.m. The boat reported seeing no parachutes. No distress call was received from the aircraft. One of the two proposals approved Tuesday by Oakland County voters already was in effect on a trial basis while the other won’t be activated fully until next year. The merit system, or civil service program for county employes, was approved by nearly a 2 to 1 margin in the election. In effect on a trial basis since last April when it was approved by the County Board of Supervisors, the merit system, will he continued as a formal county personnel program ’that has the blessings of the voters. “How many strings do you have attached to your allowance?” The Stephen R and another New Bedford fishing boat.

The only explanation given for reducing the right of way, he said, is that it would save nearly a half million dollars. “What is money compared to saving a life,” he asked? He pointed out that the intersection is recognized as “one of the most dangerous in the tate.” Case said he and other members of the community will continue to fight the proposed plan as it stands.

Streamlined, both functionally and stTJcturally, it can take its place with justifiable pride in the ranks of the few other such programs in the nation. The element that seems to set it apart is its flexibility. TOs is confirmed by its success in combining the enthusiasm of youth and the disenchantment of age and still managing to come up with some rather exciting answers to maturity. ★ ★ ★ If fact and truth about maturity would be yours, you will find realistic answers in the Center’s testing and counseling program, “Investigation Into Identity’," But there are a few questions you should ask yourself before your enthusiasm for this quest wanes. CAN YOU CHANGE? Are you, for instance, ready to let loose of familiar and comfortable fantasies about yourself and others? Are you willing to chip away at an elaborate facade that has taken years to buUd? Will you be able to face the death of certain ideologies carried over from childhood? In fact, can you bear the knowledge of discovering YOU? ♦ ★ ★ The program, now in its second year, consists of a battery of tests in the areas of academics, personality, values, aptitudes, and interests, both academically and vocationally. The tests are taken twice weekly for four consecutive weeks. Following this, there is an on campus group discussion period lasting two hours. Next comes consultation with a psychologist who explains the meaning of the test evaluations Test Score on Hostess Know-How By ELIZABETH L.

Naturally, there are some women who Come with unrealistic notions about themselves and their abilities. But even this kind of disappointment is tempered by the proof that there are certain areas in which they can qualify, even excel. Most of the women entering the propam approach it with at least some degree of anxiety. The thing they must remember here is thaf they are “not on trial.” * it it The center, a bustling area most of the time, has somehow managed to keep the feeling of informality always present.

Everyone I know has con-p fided some sort® of mess to me— money troubles, neighbor' troubles, children troubles, husband, sex, household, and every other kind i of trouble, until ( I’ve had it to the teeth. These i^ple are my friends and relatives, so I can’t very well avoid them or they’d be hurt. I am glad if I can help, but it’s gotten to the point where my husband comes home, takes one look at me and says, “Well, what happened now — and to whom?” I have my problems, too, but I don’t burden anyone else with them. Well, I guess it’s gone full-circle and now I’m telling YOU my troubles. What is your advice?

Well, one thing led to another and now I can’t get rid of her. She hangs around where I work, bringing me hot lunches every day. And when the quitting-time whistle blows, there she is out in front with her car all shined up, waiting to give me a lift home. , * ★ * But she doesn’t take me to MY home, she takes me to HERS, where she has supper all cooked and waiting.

Hats Defy Explanation Nicki Ross models “Squaws,” a lime crepe beret with Hiawatha plait in turqUoise pom-poms during London’s Mayfair milliner Edward Mann’s spring of 1967 collection showing. Mann called his collection “Oddballs.” ' By EDDY GILMORE LONDON m — Are Princess Margaret’s royal ears cold? If they aren’t, why has she been wearing a series of kooky, head-hugging hats? With no explanations — royalty doesn’t explain — she has made a series of public appearances in the oddest looking hats of her hat-wearing career. if if if They had one thing in common — they sheltered her ears. Early in October, she attended a London art exhibition in a Spanish style lid that covered the ears. if if if A week later, she appeared in Poole, County Dorset, in a black and white head-hugger; starers could not see so much as a tip of the royal ear. WITH EAR MUFFS Nov. 1, she generated comment by fashion writers in London when she appeared in public with a fur-trimmed bat that sup- ported ear muffs pnd tied with ribbons under her pretty chin. Last Tuesday, on her way to bleak Scotland, she wore the strangest looking lid yet — a hat that resembled a football players helmet studded with nails. One fashion writer commented: “The nailheads give the effect of the whole thing having been hammered together and result in the sort of hard and uncompromising line most women would probably not favor.” It could be the weather. It’s fairly nippy, but not so nippy that thousands of other English women have clapped on ear-muffs. ODDBALL OF YEAR? In any case, hatmaker Edward Mann has named Princess Margaret the winner of the title “Best hatted Oddball for 1966.” He said he took this action because of the princess’ original personality and sense of humor toward fashion.
