TWENTY-SIX PAGES A BLAZING FIREBALL that swept over the eastern United States and Canada was photographed here by Jack French, staff photogra- p.m. pher of the Kingston Whig- Standard, seconds before it disintegrated about 8.15 EDT Monday. The fireball was followed by a blue-green tail as it sped across the sky at an esti- mated 50 te 70 miles above the earth on its northward path. Hundreds of Oshawa local story on Page 13.) and district residents report- ed seeing the fireball. (See (CP Wirephoto) THOUSANDS SEE FIREBALL NE W YORK (AP)--A vivid fireball flashed across the sky last night, exciting thousands from Toronto and Ottawa to Ohio. Dr. Thomas Nicholson, chair- man of the Hayden Planetar- ium, called it an exceptionally bright meteor that left a multi- colored, glowing vapor trail. He said it was probably 10,000 times brighter than the bright- est star at night. Police switchboards in dozens of communities were swamped with reports of a-jet airplane crash and flying saucers. While there were unconfirmed reports that the object or parts of it had Janded, most astrono- mers believe it paobably disin- tegrated during its flight, Nicholson, who said the fire- ball probably was moving 35 miles a second, estimated its size at perhaps "several hun- dred pounds." But Dr. Fred Whipple, direc- tor of the Smithsonian Astrophy- sical Observatory in Cambridge, Mass., said: "It was a meteor which must have been less than the size of a football." Dr. Ian Halliday of the Do- minion Observatory in Ottawa said he had talked to two sci- entists who saw the object and they were sure it was a me- teor. "From their réports and other sightings, the object ap- peared to break up well to the south or southwest of Ottawa, probably over the U.S.," he said. From Ottawa, the object ap- peared low in the sky to the south or southeast. While it was rising, it never did get high in the sky. This, Dr. Halliday said, indicated it still was a considerable distance from Ot- tawa. A spokesman for the U.S, Na- val Observatory in Washington the object probably was not a man-made satellite, as some believed, because none was scheduled to re-enter the atmosphere. Some scientists speculated that the object may have been a bolide, which is a type of me- teor that burns itself out more slowly than other meteors as it enters the atmosphere and makes a noise at the end of its trajectory. Most reports said the object turned from white to green and travelled in a north-northwest direction, perhaps as high as 40 to 80 miles above the earth at its initial sighting. Other re- ports said it had a_ yellow- orange glow but these were generally attributed to the ef- fects of the sunset on the ob- ject. A path of fluorescent gases trailing the object was reported visible for as long as 10 min- utes in some aras. said -|the justice department's refusal 'Wagner 'Stands Firm QUEBEC (CP)--Justice Min- jister Claude Wagner said Mon- jday the April 4 dismissal of }Const.

As Mr. Wagner entered his courthouse office he was ap- proached by Mr. Vachon but the justice minister walked past him. The strike, in protest against to negotiate with the QPP As- sociation, began Monday with picket lines in several locations, including the force's regional headquarters in Quebec City. ' reply to a challenge to the com- F mission's | case, German Woman Barred In '52 As Security Risk OTTAWA (CP) -- Sex and security background about Gerda Munsinger was placed on the record of a royal commis- sion inquiry Monday, including statements that she was a petty thief, prostitute and onetime Soviet agent. Chief commission counsel J. L. O'Brien quoted an RCMP file as stating the 36-year-old German woman had an "'llicit sexual relationship" with Pierre Sevigny, former Conservative associate defence minister. He gave the same source for the statement that Mrs. Mun- singer was sufficiently well ac- quainted with George Hees, for- mer Conservative trade minis- ter, to call him George. And, without identifying whom he meant, he said an executive assistant to a cabinet minister also was first-named by Mrs. Munsinger while she lived in Canada between 1955 and 1961. The royal commission inquiry resumes Wednesday. Mr. O'Brien's summarizing of RCMP reports provided rapid jurisdiction in the Mr. Justice Wishart Spence of the Supreme Court of Canada followed it up by announcing that secrecy surrounding hear- ings will be lifted as much as possible, for holding secret sessions, Mr. Justice Spence said his new policy of publicity where pos- sible "'may be damaging to the personal character of persons but I think I will ignore that factor." Mr. O'Brien said the RCMP file states Mrs. Munsinger was refused entry to Canada in 1952 on security grounds and to the United States in 1953. She was finally admitted in August, 1955, as Gerda Munsinger when Euro- pean files on her under the maiden name Gerda Hessler would have been destroyed. The RCMP file stated she as- sociated with underworld char- acters in Montreal and paid protection as a prostitute. Her European background included admitting espionage for Russia and imprisonment for faulty documents, petty thievery and prostitution. Mr. O'Brien said the RCMP considered her vulnerable to pressure, although there'was no indication she was in touch with Russian intelligence while in Canada. The RCMP. also thought her associates were prime targets for blackmail by racketeers. Mr. O'Brien said this informa- tion was in files about which RCMP Commissioner George B. McClellan and former commis- sioner Clifford W. Harvison tes- They had testified only that the file was submitted to the minister of justice and not as to the facts in it. The truth or falsity of the reports "has little, if anything, to do with the action taken once they handed" the reports to the government, Mr. Justuce Spence invited E, A. Goodman, counsel for Mr, Hees, to have his client repeat at an open session the testimony he gave in secret a week ago. At that time, Mr. Goodman's application for an open hearing was rejected. Mr. O'Brien said former Con+ servative justice minister Done ald Fleming has asked to ap- pear before the commission Thursday. Jules Dupre, counsel for Mr, Sevigny, said his client intends to appear after the RCMP wit nesses have been cross-exams ined Wednesday. Mr. Sevigny has said his re- lationships with Mrs, Munsinger was social and "very casual'* and the facts would prove the controversy a "big story about nothing."

(AP)--Mar- cel Derudder died today five days after doctors implanted a partial artificial heart in him in an operation that held prom- ise for thousands of heart vic- tims. Doctors attributed death to a possible rupture of his bronchia or trachea through which air passes to and from the lungs. The exact cause would not be known until a post-mortem op- eration was completed. Dr. Michael E. DeBakey, who | led a team of specialists in the | operation last Thursday, was at | the bedside of the 65-year-old |retired coal miner from West- | ville, Ill., when death came at 4:04 a.m, EDT in Methodist Hospital. A hospital spokesman termed Derudder's death "sudden."'

Only hours before Derudder's death, DeBakey said the pump |\"was working fine and the ba- sic design had proved itself." Derudder, who had a. 25-year history of heart disease, had been expected to die without the operation, and DeBakey re- garded the surgery as a "'last- ditch" effort to save his life. Derudder lived a day longer than another hear. victim who died after a similar operation in 1963. | The artificial heart was_in- Stalled on the left side of his heart to give it a partial rest and a chance to heal, It was designed to do the work of the left ventricle, the lower cham- ber, which pumps blood through the body and is a,common source of heart failure, As Sudden "That's what we're trying to do now, get the facts straight.

"Yes, I'll agree with that,'* the commissioner said. On Monday Mr, Justice Lan- dreville provided a new puzzle to sort out when he contended he did nothing to get the NONG stock until after the firm had sewed up a franchise with Sud- bury. The testimony -- an abrupt switch from his earlier state- ments -- left the federal inquiry trying to sort out a jammed-up timetable of happeings at a piv- otal few days of the 1956-57 pee riod in which his behavior is under investigation.
