WASHINGTON T” — President
Kentu dy has learned to his dis
may tlsii cannons on the White
House lawn can drown out ever,
thing hut daughter Caroline and
her friends.
He learned this as he stood tight
lipped and at attention while can
nons cai the south lawn boomed a
welcome for Premier Ahmed Ben
Bella of Algeria.
After Ben Bella had conferred
with the President and left, a re
porter asked Kennedy what he
thought of the childish noises that
came from the second floor during
the ceremonies on the lawn.
“We will talk about that this
afternoon,” he said.
The President then smiled —
but only slightly — whirled, and
rushed into the White House.
"Was Caroline punished? a
newsman asked White House press
secretary Pierre Salinger Monday
night.
“Not that I know of,” he replied.
During the ceremonies, every
boom drew a shrill-voiced “bang”
from the President’s daughter and
her friends in their kindergarten
on the second floor of the White
House. Every command to the mili
tary color guard drew a mimick
ing order from the happy children
upstairs.
Neither Kennedy nor Ben Bella
cracked a smile or furrowed a brow
at t h e high-pitched, giggling
chorus.

s' i Island when i Thor booster
■>v.(s destroyed M inlay night in the
latest U.S. nuclear test failure but
there is no danger to test per
sonnel, .Joint Task Force 8 an
nounced.
A spokesman said a number of
small fragments, the largest meas
uring two-by-eight inches, fell on
;..e Pacific test island.
Most of the rocket and its nu
clear payload fell into the sea.
The projectile was carrying a
submegaton device to be exploded
30 to 40 miles aloft. The range
safety officer destroyed the mis
sle eight minutes after launch be
cause of a malfunction in the
rocket system.
A task force spokesman said
most of the fragments have shown
some alpha contamination but be
cause of rigid safety rules no haz
| ard to test personnel is expected.
An AEC spokesman said the
tests would be rescheduled. He said
! other missiles would be used to
launch two other devices in other
tests.
One test will use a Nike-Her
cules rocket and the other a
specially constructed booster with
the booster from a surface-to-sur
face Sergeant rocket. Use of these
missiles would indicate the two
shots will be fired at relatively low
altitudes because neither has the
| necessary thrust to carry their
payloads to great heights.
The failure was another blow
to United States missile prestige
and an embarrassing disappoint
ment to scientists and technicians
at Johnston Island. Only one shot
from Johnston Island in the cur
rent series has been successful—
on July 8 when a giant thermonu
clear device was detonated at an
altitude of 210 miles.

Her heart is aided bv an elec
tronic timer embedded in her
chest. Experts say its signal could
interfere with a plane’s nuviga
tional equpiment.
Before the timer was installed
she was suffering from fainting
spells — in one 24-hour period
she fainted 25 times.
Physicians found her trouble:
a defect in the timing function in
her heart. A tiny, battery-power
ed device designed by doctors at
Glendale Sanitarium and engineers
at General Electric Co., was placed
in her chest in an operation, at the
sanitarium.
The battery which powers tl.e
timer is in her abdomen, placed
between fatty tissues. Airs. Steven,
thanks to the miniaturized device,
can now control the rate '•[' hot
heart beat.
She has a control unit which
she holds over the part of her
stomach where the battery lies.
The control’s knob regulates her
pulse from 70 to 120 beats a min

which she is taking part.
