A man and a teen age girl, both white and injured in separate incidents since then, re main at City Hospital. The blast — state police bomb ex perts said the bomb probably was six to 10 sticks of dynamite wired to a timer —- devastated the probation office on the second floor of the cour thouse. It blew an eight-inch hole in the floor, under the spot where the bomb was placed near a bank of elevators. knee. He and eight others were hos pitalized, and the rest were released after treatment. Three police officers were treated for injuries sustained in rescue work. Police said they had no suspects and only the physical bits-and-pieces from the blast scene as clues.

Dr. Thomas C. Van Flandern of the U.S. Naval Observatory here said in an interview Tuesday that computer plotting of the comet or bits seems to confirm that the long- theorizeef planet existed up to about six million years ago. “At that time, the planet exploded — accounting for most, if not all comets, the asteroid belt and many meteorites,” Van Flandern said. What could have caused such an explosion is unknown. The astronomer traced backward the orbits of 60 comets that have been seen only once from Earth. These comets have orbits so large that it takes millions of years for one swing around the sun. “There is a tendency for these or bits to intersect at a common starting point in the asteroid belt between Mars and Jupiter,’ Van Flandern said. The asteroid belt is a ring of rocky bodies orbiting the sun. Three quarters of the orbits indi cate the comets originated in that area five million to seven million years ago in a zone about 100 million miles wide, he said. The orbits don’t intersect exactly Sun Theaters 333 University The only movies in town. 846-9808 Special Midnight Shows Friday A Saturday $2.00 per person No one under 17.

Van Flandern said his findings, drawn from a year of calculations, are in line with a theory proposed in 1972 by M. W. Overden, an as tronomer at the University of British Columbia. Overde n calculated that a giant planet 90 times the mass of Earth once existed where the asteroid belt is now. Three quarters of this planet would have been made up of liquids and gases surrounding a solid core. “The asteroids may be the broken-up core and the comets may be the atmosphere or liquid,” Van Flandern said. The bodies in the asteroid belt — ranging in size from a 5-mile diame ter to thousands of smaller fragments — contain only about 1-1,000 the mass of Earth. For so little to re main, Van Flandern said, the planet’s explosion must have been so violent as to fling much of its mate rial out of the solar system. 5* Coffee 9 a.m.-11 a.m. every day Located on S.

A number of the advertisers in that version have not yet been reim bursed by the printing firm which contracted to publish it. The firm, BP Industries of Midland (BPI), did not publish the directory because of financial difficulties. Leroy Balmain, with the local BBB office, said, “They (advertisers) should get in touch with me and we’ll see what we can do about getting their money hack.” Balmain said he had already got ten a reimbursement for one adver tiser, a local insurance salesman. He said he had no idea how many more advertisers have not been reim bursed. A former BPI official said in January that the firm had collected $14,0()0-$18,000 in advance from local advertisers. One advertiser, M&W Restaur ants, Inc., filed a civil suit last month against BPI seeking reimbursement for the $1,120 ad the restaurant group brought in the directory. Balmain said the BBB would not file suit for an advertiser but could probably get a settlement thn influence in the business com tv- ISj BPI officials originally woidd make every effort ton burse advertisers.
