4.Pu.erlo ilicans Indicted In Shooting Case

WASHINGTON. (AP)-A federal grand jury acted quickly Wednes- day in lndictlng four Puerto Rican fanatics accused of wounding five members of Congress in Monday”: bullet-spraying burst of violence in the House of Representatives. The jury was reported to have voted almost immediately after U. S. attorney Leo A. Rover com- pleted presenting the govern- ment's case in one hour and 45 minutes. The indictments were an- nounced after a luncheon recess. The assailants. including the ring-leader. Mrs. Lolita Lehron. 34. were charged with assault with intent to kill and assault with a dangerous weapon. Rover said the defendants will be arraigned Friday. They will he ralled upon then to enter pleas of not guilty or sullty.

Police said three of the alleged gun-wielders. lncludi-ig Mrs. lie- hron. have confessed, but a fourth Irving Flores Rodriguez, 28, has refused to talk.

Physicians said all the wounded House members are lmprnvlne. Representative Alvin M. Bentley (Rep. Mich). the most seriously injured. was taken off the critical list. but doctors said there was still danger of complications de- veloping from his internal in- juries.

In addition to Mrs. Lebrnn and Rodriguez. those lndlctrd were lin- dres F. Cordero. 29. and Rafael C.

Look For Tiny Almost Invisible Earth Moons

sortni: a sky-sweeping search for tiny earth.moons which might serve man as stepping stones to the stars.

If they exist-and scientists say they have reason to believe they do-the nearly invisible earth satellites also could be used as space platforms to launch missiles in time of war.

Clyde Tombaugh. the man who discovered the planet Pluto. and Dr. Lincoln La Paz. director of the Institute of Meteorltics at the Uni- versity of New Mexico, are two of the men engaged in the search for fast-travelling little satellites. Much of the research is being done at white sands proving ground in southern New Mexico. scene of the United Btates' missile- testing program and the spot where the first atomic bomb was set off.

"Other than the moon. no earth satellites have been discovered to date," Tombaugh said. "But this is understandable."

Tombaugh said in an interview

rapid orbits near the equator, thus escaping notice by sky mappers in northern countries.

Finding a tiny. fast - moving moon in the sky would be a tough Job no matter Where it was located. Slowly scanning cameras

would be little affected by the light from the satelltes The only way to spot. them.

Tombaugh says. is to track them with cameras moving at the same speed as the satellite and in the same direction. The satellitegwould then show up as a not against a

: background of star streaks.

Jrobably one of the most im- portant immediate aspects of the scarch for a natural satellite may be a saving of billions of dollars. Ferrying a man-made satellite out of the earth's atmosphere, if at- tempted. would cost billions.

Scientists have long seen the need for a way station to precede any attempt by man to conquer space. Main reason is the teriffie amount of fuel which must. be used to escape earth's gravity. "Space ships"-if they ever materialize- probably never would touch earth. but. would refuel and lake on pas- sengers and cargo at some such way station in the orbit of earth as Tombaugh and La Paz now are cooking.

The value of an armed weapons station in space. monitoring the actions of other nations and pre- pared to deal deadly blows from overhead. is obvious and has long lntriqued military minds.
