Come Out, Earth People; Rocket Was Teenage Prank Support Sought In Bus Warfare MEXICO CITY (AP) - Rebel lious students were barricaded on the University of Mexico's mod ernistic campus today, calling for a monster rally tonight in support of their war on the capital's bus system.

That rocket from outer space came from a teen-ager's base ment. The thing turned up on Rucl II. Barrus' lawn last weekend still smoking. It was a rocket-shaped aluminum cylinder 10 inches long and 3 across. Its crumpled nose was buried deep in the dirt and its burned outer shell suggested the kind of heat a rocket might encounter on hitting the earth s atmosphere. The find caused a stir in this east Idaho community, where fly ing saucer reports have turned up lately. The press played it big. It was the publicity that tiusnea the worried engineers of the prank. Roy Bennell. 14, and Paul Napper, 15, decided to go to the cops before the cops came to them. In a statement written out yes terday before police let them go, the boys explained: "This . . .was primarily a psychological experi ment, to see what would happen if the reported flying saucers had actually tired a reconnaissance missile.. Paul and Roy, who dabble in amateur rocketry, chemistry and radio, said soberly they tried to make the device look as if it was propelled by an ion motor "something which has not Been develoocd on earth yet." They burned the shell with acid and acetylene torch, to give it that air-fired look. They put a string and glass vial inside, crum pled the nose, spooned in some yellow phosphorus to make it smoke, then dug a hole and plant ed it. 'All in all. the experiment was success." they said. "The Po lice Department analyzed the re mains auite thoroughly ana nau the construction of the rocket par tially right."
