(AP Wirephoto) Weather Delays Endurance Flight PALESTINE, Tex. <A>)—An at tempt to establish a new world’s endurance record for manned bal loons was postponed Wednesday because of the weather until sometime Thursday. Kurt Stehling of Washington, D. C., and Don Overs of Pitts burgh, Pa., first were scheduled to take off late Tuesday but de layed the trip because of mechan ical difficulties. Wednesday, a cold front blowing through the area caused a second delay. The balloonists feared the northerly winds would blow them over the Gulf of Mexico. Eleven police officers and in dustry representatives are discov ering their days ahead will be difficult here. The men — representing five states — are studying to become certified polygraph examiners, in a “highly specialized field,” said Ira E. Scott. They are William Levengood, Fort Worth; Truman Teel, Dal las; Wilson W. Jones, Houston; Ross A. Wade, Midwest City, Okla.; Charles E. Dillon, Pearl River, La.; Dwight A. Robinson, Kansas City, Mo.; Hershel Cox, Muskogee, Okla.; Donald Fuller, Albuquerque, N. M.; Milton O’Blanc Sr., Lake Arthur, La.; Clinton Beaugh, Opelousas, La., and Roy C. Thomason, Center ville. THE SIX-WEEK, 225 - hour course includes studies in the mechanical aspects of the ma chine as well as medical factors of the subject being tested, Scott pointed out. Scott is head of A&M’s Texas Engineering Extension Service’s Police Training Division. “For example,” said Scott, “it Wildlife Services To Bur Superfish AUSTIN, Tex. OP) — He’s a lightweight, a southern brawler who loves to kill; and . . . shud der . . . he’s in Texas. He’s a fish, a super-fish. And the Texas Parks and Wild life Department doesn’t want any part of him. You could imagine why Wed nesday after listening to A. J. Springs, assistant director of BONFIRE (Continued From Page 1) Youngkin and Rhoden include Bob Segner, stacking area chief; Tom Wiley, executive officer; Barney Dawson, cutting area chief; David Hoelscher, cutting area assistant chief; Garry Mauro, civilian chief; Mike Harvey, stacking area equipment chief; Charlie Brown, cutting area equipment chief and Glen McDaniel, loading chief.

THE CENTER pole will be the responsibility of Army ROTC unit “Spider D” and concessions will be handled by Alpha Phi Omega, headed by Bill Faulkner. “All of these men have had previous training in these posi tions. They were selected because of their experience and willing ness to work,” Youngkin con cluded. Wildlife Services, tell wide-eyed officials that as well as swim, the fish can, yes he can, walk on land. “He is in Texas; we know they are in Texas,” Spring said. “We know one man, a tropical fish dealer in San Antonio, had one two weeks ago. They will jump from one aquarium to another, and destroy other species. They are extremely pugnacious.” To their knowledge, Wildlife officials said, the fish had not been seen in Texas’ public wa ters. But they wanted the com mission’s permission to hold pub lic hearings to see if there would be any opposition to putting the fish on the list of fish that can not be imported to Texas. “We’d like to get the jump and get ahead of the game,” Springs said. The commission told him to schedule the hearings. “THEY’RE edible, extremely good eating,” Springs said. In other business, the commission: —Approved a staff proposal to spend $1,983,105 this fiscal year to develop Texas parks under the $75 million bond program ap proved by the 1967 legislature. Most of the money would go for purchasing and developing the proposed Dinosaur Track State Park near Glen Rose in Somer vell County and proposed parks in Houston-Port Arthur-Beau- mont-Orange area. —Adopted a policy requiring its approval of land purchases for parks by the department, —Approved the substitution of Manufacturer’s Hanover Trust of New York City, for Bankers Trust Co. of New York, as a co agent for the state’s $75 million bond program to develop the park program. is not sufficient for an examiner to merely be acquainted with the equipment he is operating, for many factors affect its opera tion.” A qualified examiner in his own right, Scott stressed the importance of the examiner re ceiving studies in anatomy, physi ology and psychology. SCOTT NOTED that the po tential examiners will receive 54 hours of instruction in medical aspects from A&M medical fac ulty members. In addition, he pointed out par ticipants are tutored in legal problems of administering a poly graph examination, and must be come acquainted with personal problems of subjects which affect the operation of the machine. “These would include emotion ally upset persons, or malinger ing subjects,” Scott added. Students also will receive prac tical tips on examining room construction, test forms, clerical needs and commercial applica tion. Scott disclosed that the school is not all lecture. “PRIOR TO completion of the program, every man will receive 45 hours of practice before re turning to the field,” Scott said. Instructors include Scott’s training division staff members and guest speakers, plus A&M medical faculty members. W. A. Van De Werken of Keel er Polygraph Division, Associ ated Research Inc., Chicago, is lecturing this week in the me chanical operation of the equip ment. , fT The school continues through Nov. 29. Wingless Wedge Fails To Ignite EDWARDS AIR FORCE BASE, Calif. (A*) — A wingless wedge with a man in it made an emer gency landing safely today after its rocket engines failed to ignite properly following launch from a B-52 bomber. Air Force Maj. Jerauld Gentry set the craft down gently on Rosamond Dry Lake 18 miles west of his intended landing point here. U. S. Space Agency officials said one of the four barrels in his 8,000-pound-thrust rocket en gine ignited briefly. Plans called for ignition of two barrels, but repeated attempts failed. A shaver that gives almost twice the shaves per charge is worth some study. Our Rechargeable 45CT (below) gives you 3 weeks of close shaves on a single charge. (Which is nearly twice as much as any other rechargeable.) And it gives you the choice of using the cord, or not. It also has a lot of things in common with our new Tripleheader Speedshaver® 35T. Both shavers have 18 rotary blades set in three new ‘floating’ Microgroove™ heads, that follow the contours of your face. And they both shave you as close or closer than a blade in 2 out of 3 shaves. (As tested in an independent lab by some very in dependent men.) They also have some extras that make shaving a lot easier. A separate pop-up trim mer, snap-open clean ing, a handy on/ off switch, and a 110/220 voltage selector for travel use. Whichever you choose, you can’t get a closer shave.
