Airline Talks Are Resumed SEATTLE (AP) Negotiations between representatives of West Coast Airlines and the Air Lines Pilots' Assn. continued Saturday under the direction of Federal Mediator Robert O. Boyd. ine talks in the long running dispute were resumed here Thurs day, just days short of the dead line of the 30-day cooling off" period which began when the com pany rejected arbitration upon breakdown in negotiations Aug. 1 Boyd said the current negotia tions were "progressing" and probably would continue next week. At issue in the dispute are wages, hours, working conditions, pensions, and the operation of six F-27 turhft-nrnn let Airliners which said. But it is not as close to the the company plans to put into production stage as Chevrolet, service soon Chrysler seems to be making no overtures toward the small car field, apparently content to let its wealthier competitiors take the ini tial gamble. Not even Chevrolet and Ford are fully convinced yet that an Ameri can small car will be a success. But an economist for one of the "Big Three" said: "It's beginning to look as if we'll build the thing even though we ex pect a flop." Ford and Chevrolet are trying to keep costs low on the "trial runs" of small cars by reclaiming old machines from stockpiles. Both plan to limit initial production until the small cars prove salesworthy. Suppliers reported Chevro let's small car engine lines at Mas sena, N.Y., will be tagged for pro duction of about 70 units per hour. Ford plans production of about 150,000 units annually at its Lor ain, onio, assemmy piani, mey said. Chevrolet s all-aluminum engine will have six cylinders in a hori zontally opposed position, three on each side, a system which is more efficient but less powerful. It will be air cooled, eliminating the need for a heavy water jacket and further increasing economy. On the Chevrolet the engine will be in the rear but the Ford will keep its in front, the suppliers reported. This means cnevroiet styling will resemble the Renault Dau- phine while Ford will use Thun derbird styling. Both models, if they reach the public, will be larger and plusher than European small cars but smaller and more stripped down than current American models. The wheelhase of the Chevrolet will be about 104 inches, almost a foot and a half more than the Dauphine, and Ford will build on a 106-inch wheelbase. Both will ex periment with g'eatly simplified two-speed transmissions. Suppliers report that the manu facturers are likely to make their final decision on whether to actual ly produce the small cars after they get the public's reaction to new styling and some small econ omv moves in the standard 1959 models.

Crash Ruined Explorer V By ALTOV BLAKESLEE Associated Press Science Writer AMSTERDAM (AP) - A high aijtj'je collision between parts of its rocket units ruined the launch ing of Explorer V. Dr. Wernher von Braun reported to world astronauis today. The first stage booster rocket had separated after burnout when gases and liquids remaining in it expanded in the vacuum of space and gave it a little extra thrust, Von Braun said. This sped it up so it hit the in strument part of the rocket, knocking the final stages off in the wrong direction from an orbit. All three remaining stages of the rocket had fired perfectly. Von Braun, the German-born di rector of U.S. Army rocketry, said special precautions were being taken to avoid recurrences of this most unlucky incident." Explorer V was sent aloft from Cape Canaveral, Fla last Sunday morning. The military usually does not announce the technical reasons for failures and has dis closed nothing on this one up to now. But it sent word to Von Braun, who has been in Amster dam all week. He presented a 90-minute de tailed and technical report on all phases of Explorer satellites at the closing day of the 9th annual assembly of the International As tronautic Federation. r.j . . j I i ) - w S Demos Launch For Hatfield A "Democrats For Hatfield" group has been launched in Klam ath Falls with the naming of Fred Lewis as chairman and G.
