(iP) - The countdown for the finale in America’s Gemini project, a major bridge to the moon, swept smoothly today toward the start of a four-day adventure that may determine man’s physical limitations in space. Lights burned green at Gemini 12 launch pad consoles and around the world as technicians, their skills honed sharp by nine straight successful manned lauches, methodically checked out every system. The 100-foot-tall Titan that will thrust a veteran astronaut and a space rookie into the sky was loaded with more than 200,000 pounds of fuel in fast time of three hours and 21 minutes. The pilots.

Fire Fatal to 1 Is Investigated Materials From Ruins Readied for Analysis By DAVID J. COOK State fire marshals and Farmington Township detectives today readied for iaboratory analysis a large sampling of materials taken from the ruins of a fire which claimed seven young lives in the township yesterday. Chief of Detectives Russell Conway said it would be “about a week’’ before indications as to the cause of the fire would be received from State Police analysts in Lansing. “We’re sending everything we have,” said Coaway after completing with two state investigators a thorough check of the gutted home of Harold Polmateer, 22840 Colgate. Polmateeer, an industrial welder, was at a friend’s home helping repair an automobile when flames erupted at his family’s four-room house. The intense heat and choking smoke snuffed out the lives of seven of his children — Carol, 12; Lisa, 9; Suzanne, 6; David, 5: Randolph, 3; and 2-year-old twins Dennis and Denise, ONE CHILD SURVIVES Only Cynthia, 9, escaped. The tragic blaze was the third multiple-death fire in the Pontiac area this year. By a margin of two lives, it was also the worst. In each instance, one child managed to survive. When flames ravaged the Waterford Township home of Mrs. Barbara Brown Jan. 5, her three daughters and a son were killed. ' BATTLED FLAMES Only Larry, 14, was spared.

Space walkers experienced troubles moving about on the last three Gemini flights and raised a question whether astronauts will be able to perform complex tasks slated for later space flights.

He recalled that Communist China, not a U.N. member, appeared before the council to state its position on the Korean conflict. So far. Red China and North Viet Nam have denounced any U.N. peace-making role in Viet Nam.

NOVEMBER 11. 1966 By HOWARD HELDENBRAND Speaidng on “Trouble Six>ts in Foois” before a Birmingham Town Hall audience, Wl-lem Outmans yesterday clocked M minutes of enlightenment punctuated with humor and anecdote. Aithough the “spots” are nearly as numerous as those on a youngster beset with chicken pox — showing in Latin America countries, most d Africa, and India — it was on Indonesia that the Dutch journalist and television reporter centered his discourse. ★ ★ ★ From a first-name, breakfast-companion relationship with President Achmed Sukarno, Outmans described Indo- Af Birmingham Town Hall Hear Talk on Trouble Spots nesia as the Conununlst nut in the ' UnitM Stotes’ South Viet Nam-Australia nutcracker. SUKARNO NOT OUT In doing so, he emphatically dkq>dled tiie curroit notion that Sukarno has had it, and retains nominal title as head of state d the 3,000-is-Icnd republic only by sufferance of the militai^ Junta. “As far as Sukarno is concerned,” said the correspondent, “things are little changed. Ihe man who wrested Ind(mesia from the Dutch 21 years ago is an ideological blapk. He works both sides of the street and the middle to further the interests of his bankrupt, wholly corrupt, inflation-ridden country.” Afto* American aid dried up, explained Ouitihans, the dictatoi- turrod tb Russia military and economic help. When the Kremlin closed the ^igot, he reached out a beckoning hand to Red China Now with that country’s domestic turmoil making it a dubious source of aid, he is making goo goo eyes at Japan—and the dollar signs portend that the Nipponese are soon to be nipped. How then could so fallacious a belief in tl% eclipse of Sukarno have gained credence? “Because,” explained Outmans, tiring a blast at the international news media, “of the tendency to rely on observations and conclusions of SMALL DEPOSIT HOLDS in LAYAWAY 'til Christmas LONGINES THE WORLD'S MOST HONORED WATCH A LONGINES WATCH AT CHRISTMAS This Christmas, give someone you love the pleasure of owning the finest watch made ... a Longines.

Pointing out that basic objectives are cfunmon to all nationalities, Outmans found most disturbing the fact that man has made so much progress in scientific and technological fields and so little toward a global spirit of fellowship.

SPEAR Q) “I have been watching G. D. Searle and have been thinking of buying if the price drops further. I would like your opinion of this stock.” E. J. A) I am very pleased to supply it. Searle is an excellent pharmaceutical. It was the first dompany to produce an oral contraceptive and its earnings are rather heavily dependent on this type of product. Competition in the birth control area helped to lower Searle’s earnings last year and I look for little gain in 1966. The stock has long-term attraction, but in the pharmaceutical field I prefer Merck & Co. I believe this issue—with its broader earnings base — has a bettCT growth outlook. f Q) “I hold a block of Southland Life, which has come the natives of North Viet Nam who dominate Ky’s military junta. On the political froiit. Premier Nguyen Cao Ky announced that two more cabinet "ministers were leaving his government.

G. A) Southland Life, in my opinion, is a well-managed company. It operates mainly in Texas and the South. Its better-than-aver-age growth reflects the strong expansion of the areas which it serves. The decline in price of the shares is typical of the life insurance group which — as I said earlier — has fallen out of investment favor since 1965. I like Southland for appreciation over a period of years, but ■ do not consider it suitable for a man in your particular situation. It seems to me that you need higher income that Southland or any other good life stock affords. I suggest Uiat you switch this holding into Lone Star Gas, yielding 5.5 per cent; Union Pacific R.R., selling on a similar basis; Southwestern 1965.
