(UPI Telephoto) Crisis Atmosphere Persists in France Pans tlPD- The govern ment of President Charles de Gaulle was faced today with its worst political crisis over the firing of Finance Minister Antoine Pinay. The ostensibly "friendly" parting Wednesday of de Gaulle and the minister who worked with him for 19 months to guide France back to economic stability threat ened to unleash powerful poli tical forces that could tear the de Gaulle cabinet asunder. Won't Lead Revolt Pinay publicly disavowed any intention to lead a con servative revolt against the policies of de Gaulle but poli tical observers believed he would eventually find him self, perhaps unwillingly, at the head of the growing of fense against de Gaulle launched by rightwingers. Such opposition could lead to a disastrous split in the par- It's a Wonderful Store Undercover strategy.. -, uplift bra with elastic front band for easy fit!

IN THE MEDFORD SHOPPING CENTER 'Orbital H-Bomb' Said Possible To Launch at Will Washington -fllPD- Nuclear scientist Ralph E. Lapp said today the Russians may be working on an "orbital H-bomb" which could be sta tioned in space and-launched or recalled at will. "A recallable bomb in or bit around the earth would have tremendous impact upon the world as a psychological terror weapon ," Lapp said. Lapp, who worked in the U.S. atomic bomb project during World War II, also suggested that the Russians may have developed a long range missile of super-power and super accuracy capable of delivering a 100-megaton war head on - targets continents away. A 100-megaton warhead would have the explosive vi olence of 100 million tons of TNT. The A-bomb which de stroyed Hiroshima was a 20,- 000-ton weapon. Would Obey Commands Lapp, now a writer on nu clear affairs, made these sug gestions in commenting on a statement by Soviet Premier Nikita Khrushchev that Rus sia is working on a "fantastic weapon" of "incredible" power. Some scientists have dis counted the likelihood of de veloping satellite bombs on grounds that it would be ex tremely difficult to pull them out of orbit and aim them ef fectively at a target in earth. But a technical report pub lished by the House Space Committee last year said such a bombing system is feasible. It made the point that a sat ellite bomb could be launched into orbit in times of peace and then hurled at an enemy by command signals from the ground whenever its masters wished. Lapp agreed that such a bomb, recallable on demand, would require "highly sophis ticated guidance. And from a strictly military standpoint, he said, it might not be the best of all possible weapons. But as a terror weapon, lie said an H-bomb circling the world at an altitude of some 300 miles would have a vast effect upon the minds and emotions of mankind whether or not it was ever used. Could Scorch Earth "And," Lapp told United Press International, "Khru shchev is quite knowledgeable about the psychological im pact of what he says and does." The 100-megaton missile warhead also would be an ef fective "terror weapon." A dozen dirty bombs of that size, Lapp said, would deposit enough radioactive fallout to "take out" all of the United States east of the Mississippi. One 100-megatonner could destroy every home in New York City with its blast alone. A dozen, particularly if deto nated at high altitude-might start conflagrations that would devastate half, a continent. 'It would be truly a scorched-earth weapon," Lapp said. . The only American inter continental ballistic missile said to be ready for use is the Atlas. This missile, with its 360,000 pounds of thrust, is capable of delivering no more than five megatons of de struction. Lapp noted that the Rus sians developed big booster rockets years before this country and may well be progressing now from hun dreds of thousands to millions of pounds of thrust. The Russians also may have developed their ICBM arms, a point which, Lapp said, could make all permanent U. S. missile bomber bases highly vulnerable. liamentary majority needed by Premier Michel Debre, whose clashes with Pinay led to the finance minister's de cision Wednesday to step down rather than accept an other cabinet post offered him by de Gaulle. v Dissolution Seen Political leaders such as Felix Gaillard of the middle road radical party predicted that when Parliament recon venes in April Debre will be voted out and Parliament dis solved. Sinec Parliament was not slated to meet again until Ap ril, the de Gaulle government had time to mend its political fences. But a "crisis" atmos phere persisted in the French capital.

(UPI Telephoto) Aftershocks Continue To Rock Arequipa, Peru Arequipa, Peru - (UPD - A shattering earthquake the worst . disaster in the history of this second largest city of Peru killed at least 38 per sons Wednesday and injured more than 200, it was report ed today. Aftershocks continued through the night, and thous ands of persons slept in the open for fear that another major quake might shake down their homes. President Manuel Prado, U. S. Ambassador Theodore Achilles and other American and Peruvian officials were flying here today to assess the extent of damage.. Airlift Aid An emergency airlift brought doctors, nurses, food and essential medicmes for quake victims. Help also was on the way from Bolivia. Local authorities proclaim ed a state of emergency in Arequipa and surrounding areas shortly after the first shock rocked the city at 10:40 a.m., destroying or damaging an estimated 80 per cent of its homes. The temblor wrecked the Roman Catholic church at Santo Domingo, the Goye neche Hospital, the Gibson bank and the public works building. Many other public buildings were destroyed or damaged. Without Power . The Tiahaya district was reported "completely destroy ed." The city was without elec tric light or power Wednesday night and drinking water was rationed. Although Arequipa, with a population of 130,000, was the largest city hard hit by the quake, it was felt in scores of other communities in Peru, Chile and Bolivia. Telephone lines were down in many areas, delaying reports of death or damage. The shock here was worse than that which hit the city on Jan. 15, 1958, killing 21 persons and injuring 90.

The Grand Jury reported to Judge Sidney Mize that it had "considered all evidence and was unable to arrive at any true bill." The decision apparently means the slayers of the young Negro will escape pun ishment and remain anony mous. State action in the case was virtually ruled out two months ago when a Pearl Riv er County Grand Jury did not return any indictments in the case. Parker was dragged from the county jail at Poplarville, Miss., by a group of masked, gloved men two days before he was to go on trial on charges of raping a pregnant white woman. His bullet-riddled body was found later in the , Pearl river, 20 miles away.
