Presumably there would be top-level negotia tions on forming a coalition gov ern mtnt. The government pointedly ig nored rebel proposals that poli tical questions be discussed on the front. Only a military team, led by Brig. Gen. Sing Rathan asarnay, was sent Friday to dis cuss matters relating to Wednes day's cease-fire, such as armis tice lines.

Exciting as it was, the flight was still secondary to the feat of the Soviet Union's Yuri A. Gaga rin, who on April 12 was hurled into a 188-mile-high orbit around the globe. He returned to earth safely 108 minutes after being launched. A test of the only American rocket believed capable of du plicating the Soviet success end ed disastrously last week when an Atlas veered off course and had to be destroyed 40 seconds after launch. Shepard remained calm all through the four hours he was in his contour couch in the capsule atop the rocket before liftoff. He climbed a service tower and entered his space cabin at 5:18 a.m. The preliminary countdown was then virtually on schedule. A long series of delays due to minor technical problems and bad weather followed. PLAYERS PRESENT PAINT YOUR WAGON Starring ; Miss Constance Adler May 11, 12, 13 Schwab
