Alien Fishing
Ban Wanted
COPENHAGEN fAP) Two
Danish territories flanking Iceland
in the North Atlantic are trying to
Join that republic in banning for
eigners from fishing within 12
miles of their coasts.
The Danish government has ad
vised the self-governing Faroe Is
landers that their demand for a
12-mile limit could not be met im
mediately. The Greenland National Council
decided Monday night to ask the
Danish government to help put
into effect a 12-mile limit around
Greenland.
British fishermen plan to defy
the new limit by Iceland, which
is scheduled to go into effect Mon
day. The British government has
said it will send gunboats to pro

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.
The students blocked off en
trances to the campus with buses
which they seized over the week
end. The student rebellion started
last week as a protest against a
6mall hike in bus fares, which was
ordered to pay bus drivers higher
salaries.

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

up lately. The press played it big.

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

public schools of our country
unconstitutional, is being defiant

"We as teachers are deeply con
