(UPD Tons of TNT exploded In a con crete bunker at the Medina nu clear weapons plant Wednes day, panicking residents into believing it was an atomic blast. After the original shock of the explosion, which staggered pedestrians and blew out store windows in downtown San An tonio 12 miles away, people panicked and fled in every di rection from the plant.

Missile: President Kennedy said he didn't think that the Russians had solved the problem of developing an effective anti missile missile any more than the United States had.

Stock Market List Narrowly Mixed recently displayed by the Soviets in Moscow. Barghoorn: Asked whether Russia's arrest of Yale Prof. Frederick Barghoorn would af fect negotiations to sell U. S. surplus wheat to Russia, Kenne dy replied that to some extent the wheat deai"stands'on its own," because it is of economic benefit to both Russia and the United States.
