IUESDAY. APRIL 11 - . 1961 Soviet Spaceman Story Surrounded by Mystery MOSCOW (/P) Moscow's newsmen Communist and Western alike were kept on edge for hours yesterday by rumors that the Soviets had launched a spaceman. Then, while reporters were still glued to their radios awaiting an announcement, the official press spokesman at the Foreign Min istry threw a cold blanket on the whole thing by declaring he knew nothing about it. Did something go amiss? Are Soviet scientists holding up a statement until they get more information? There was no answer to these questions at an early hour. All that was certain was that foreign and Soviet Communist news and cameramen who have sources of information closer to the official level than most West erners contributed to the ru mors that gathered speed through the afternoon and evening. A Soviet crew showed up at the Central Telegraph Office early in the afternoon and set up cameras to catch correspon dents when they were expect- ed to rush up with their copy. The crew waited patiently, and' finally one cameraman asked "where are the correspondents?" A telegraph girl explained that since direct censorship was ended March 23, the correspondents no longer had to bring their copy to` the telegraph office. One correspondent who did show up asked a camera tech nician, "you here to shoot a : 11 1111111111111111M11111111111111M1111111111111111111111111111n = E.- E- - - - .

"Wait until 3 o'clock," the crew member replied. When 3 o'clock passed without an announcement, one of the half dozen technicians went to a tele phone and reported back: "Wait until 4 o'clock." But 4 o'clock passed, too, with no announcement. Finally the cameramen packed their half ton of gear and left.

STATE COLLEGE PENNSYLVANIA • Viet Nam Reds Congolese Guards Fire l On United Nations Plane Fail in Election SAIGON, South Viet Nam (!P) —.Communist Viet Cong rebels launched new terrorist attacks in rural areas yesterday in a last ditch effort to cut President Ngo Dinh Diem's margin of victory in Sunday's elections. The anti-Communist president of this Southeast Asian republic was re-elected to a five-year term as expected. His opposition con sisted of two political unknowns. The Communists adopted a stra. , tegy of terror to keep voters away from the polls, but they called off their attacks without explanation on election day and the turnout was unexpectedly heavy. The gov ernment claimed 90 per cent of the 7.2 million voters cast ballots. BRUSSELS, Belgium (JP) ,The Belgian radio said last night Congolese military guards opened fire on a United Nations plane at tempting to land at Bakwanga airport in the diamond-mining state of South Kasai.
