' : Johannesburg The first secret ballot in 20 years may be necessary to break the three-way battle for the premiership of South Africa, thus choosing a successor to John Vorster, who resigned the post last Wednesday after 12 years. National Party members of Parliament are gathering in Cape Town for a caucus meeting Thursday to choose among the three candidates: Defense Minister Pieter Botha, Plural Relations Minister Connie Mulder and Foreign Minister Pik Botha.

NATIONAL San Diego A Boeing 727 and a Cessna 172 crashed head-on Monday morning, sending the 137 passengers spiraling to their deaths in the worst air disaster in American history. Burning debris and enflamed bodies rained down on a densely populated residential section, killing at least ten persons on the ground. A woman and her child were reported killed when a body crashed through the windshield of their car. The Pacific Southwest Airlines jetliner en route from Sacramento, collided with the Cessna, rented by a student pilot, 3,000 feet in the air and just three miles east of the destination, Lindbergh Field. Federal Aviation Administration officials said both pilots had been warned of the impending collision, and both had acknowledged the message. Further investigation will be made of the cockpit and control tower tapes. "They hit head-on, it was unbelievable," said a Navy flight surgeon. He said the jetliner went into in-to "what we call a graveyard spin in the Navy with the other plane trailing after it." HOT, 2 TUBS $1,095.00 Plus tax & shipping?

Having scrawled "three days" on a piece of paper in answer to when he had fallen, a police sargeant said, "The torture he went through-must through-must have been unbelievable. I'm amazed that he made it." Washington A Dallas life insurance salesman told the House assassinations committee Monday Mon-day that the umbrella he carried during the shooting of John F. Kennedy was a symbol of protest against the president's liberal politics, not a signal to a second assassin. Louie Steven Witt, dubbed the "umbrella man," was seen in an amateur film taken by Abraham Zapruder, rapidly twisting an umbrella um-brella up and down as Kennedy was shot November 22, 1963. Conspiracy theorists have speculated that the umbrella was a signal to a second assassin to fire or an affirmation that Kennedy had already been hit. Witt told the assassinations committee that he carried the open umbrella on that sunny day because he had heard it symbolized former British Prime Minister Neville Chamberlain, who was accused of appeasing Nazi Germany, and that it "was sort of a sore spot with the Kennedys." Ken-nedys."
