for the oxygen tank rupture onthe accident to failure of twothermal switches.
They had been subjected toan electrical overload duringa test at Cape Kennedy beforethe April 11 launch.
The accident forced Apollo13 to turn back from its moonflight.
The switches turned out tobe inadequate, the board said,because of a revised specific-ation issued for Apollo space-craft in 1965 by the primecontractor, North AmericanRockwell.
A subcontractor working onthe oxygen tanks reportedlydid not make all the adjust-,ments compatible with the newspecification, and it adds,neither company nor the spaceagency noticed the discrepancy.
FAA to Expand Psychiatric Exams of ControllersWASHINGTON (AP/AFRTS)--The National Transportation Safety
Board recommends that the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA)expand its program for psychiatric and psychological assess-ment of air traffic controllers. The board's'suggestion comessimultaneously with its findings that faulty directions from acontroller, working under stress conditions, caused a PuertoRico airliner crash in 1969. All 19 people aboard the planewere killed when the controller inadvertently told the pilot tomake a left turn. The plane was flying on instruments in rainand fog at 3,000 feet and the left turn put the plane on a col-lision course with a mountain i.q00 feat hicdh Tn makin" ii

NEW YORK (AP/AFRTS)--A panel of civilian
penologists recommends a major overhaul of the
Army prison system. The panel, headed by a
private penal consultant here, claims that
Army stockades are outdated, over crowded,
lacking in medical and psychiatric help, and
staffed by poorly trained personnel.
The report claims that, in many cases,
prisoners in solitary confinement do not get
the 15 minutes of daily exercise required by
regulations and their restricted diet is over-
ly severe.It suggests the Army concentrate on ident-
ifying the unfit and discharging them before
they commit offenses.
WASHINGTON (AP/AFRTS)--Dr. Terrel Bell has
been named acting U.S. Commissioner of Edu-
cation replacing Dr. James Allen, who was fir-
ed from that post last week.
Bell, who was a state superintendent of
public instruction in Utah for seven years,
has been an associated commissioner in the
Health, Education and Welfare's office of
education since February.
BONN, WEST GERMANY (AP/AFRTS)--West German
Chancellor Willy Brandt has promised to stick
"tenaciously" to his policies despite losses
in yesterday-'s'three major state elections.
The elections do not directly affect the
Bundestag where Brandt heads a ruling coal-
ition of his Social Democratic party and
foreign minister Walter Scheel's Free Demo-
cratic party.However, the Christian Democrats are sure
to exploit their gains during foreign policy
and budget debates tomorrow.
MOSCOW (AP/AFRTS)--Two Soviet cosmonauts
set a new space endurance record yesterday.
The Soyuz-9 spaceship passed the record of
13 days, 18 hours and 35 minutes set by
Gemin i-7.The milestone was set at 1335 GMT, but
an official announcement through the Soviet
News Agemcy Tass did not claim a record or
compare it with Gemini-7's 1965 mark. The
Russians have been avoiding comparison ever
since the first U. S. moon landing.
WASHINGTON (AP/AFRTS)--A Pentagon-backed,Rand Corporation study speculates that a Viet
Cong takeover in South Vietnam might involve
at least 100,000 reprisal killings. The re-
ports author, Stephen Hosmer, said yesterday
he thinks any leniency by the Viet Cong to-
ward its adversaries would be inconsistent
with history.
BOSTON (AP/AFRTS)--The Louis Harris survey
reports that nationwide public opinion has
grown more critical of Senator Edward Kennedysince the inquest into the death of Mary Jo
Kopechne has been made public.

Dependents Schools AbroadGiven 'A+' In Senate Report
WASHINGTON (AFPS)--Schools for military andcivilian dependents overseas compare favorably
with the better stateside schools according to
Dr. Nathan Brodsky, associate deputy assistant
secretary of defense for education.Dr, Brodsky told.a senate
subcommittee, "The North Cen-tral Association of Collegesand Secondary Schools, theassociation that accredits ourhigh schools, has indicatedthat in general the quality ofeducation, the level of teach-ing and the general support of. the schools compare favorablywith the better schools in the
states."Estimate for student enroll-
ment for Fiscal Year 1971 is180,134.This is 700 fewer thanlast year. The FY 1970 figure
is for 900 from the Atlanticarea and 800 from the Pacific.The lower figure for the FY1971 is because of estimatedforce reductions.
Dr. Brodsky said, "We be-lieve the requested resourceswill provide a sound educa-tional program for the depend-ents of military and civilianpersonnel stationed overseas.The FY 1971 request will re-sult in an average per pupilcost (excluding our uniqueschools costs and tuition feecost) of $648.25. This is anincrease of $31.34 per pupilover the FY 1970 per pupilcost of $616.91."
"Our dependents schools arestill below the national aver-age per pupil cost of $741.00
for FY 1970, as reported by theU.S. Office of Education forcomparable program elements."
