SANFORD Of the Post-Dispatch Staff The Beatles played and sang 11 tunes last night before 23,143 paid spectators at Busch Memorial Stadium in a light rainstorm. Thousands of fans screamed for the music, thousands got wet from the rain, hundreds were terribly upset by it all and a few dozen fainted. The 11 tunes took about 30 minutes and the rain was substantial at times. The fans sat in the rain and yelled. The Beatles were protected by a plastic canopy but they also got damp.

Their mop hairdos got damp and so did the mop hairdos of their followers. The members of the quartet told their press officer, Tony Barrow, that they did not mind playing in the rain but were a bit apprehensive about the possibility of getting shocked by the wet electric amplifying equipment.

22 Viet Cong terrorists killed a woman and six children today when attacking a Mekong delta outpost. A grenade was tossed into a jeep containing five Americans, injuring all of them. These were but two of 15 terror attacks by the Communists in little more than 24 hours. They came after a weekend rash of 22 terrorist incidents that began with a grenade attack on a United States noncommissioned officers club in Da Nang. The latest in the Communist terror acts came in what South Viet Namese officials termed an attempt to upset the Sept.

Attack Regional Post In an attack on a South Viet Namese Regional Forces post 71 miles west-southwest of Saigon, Viet Cong raiders inflicted light casualties on the troops but killed the woman and six children and wounded two children and two women. In the Saigon suburb of Gia Dinh three terrorists on a bicycle hurled a grenade Into a jeep carrying four U. S. servicemen and an American civilian employed by the armed forces.

More Raids In North While the B-52s were hitting the Communists in the south, U. S. fighter-bombers continued their attacks on Communist supply and transport facilities in North Viet Nam yesterday, the U. S.

military command reported today. American pilots flew 102 mis sions over North Viet Nam, hit- ting at four missile sites around Hanoi, six oil storage depots and other targets. Flyers reported that they damaged three of the four surface-to-air missile sites attacked. One site was nine miles south of the North Viet Namese capital and another was 10 miles southwest of Hanoi. The U.S.

flyers claimed also that they damaged or destroyed 15 bridges, 26 supply buildings, 64 trucks, seven antiaircraft gun TURN TO PAGE 4, COLUMN 1 Awoclaud Pnu Wlrephota MA RAD to ARMY CONTRACT OF $21, 500,000 Activity by Spring to Approach Peak Reached in World War II Employment By JAMES DEAKIN A Washington Correspondent of the Post-Dispatch WASHINGTON, Aug. 22-The St. Louis Army ammunition plant at 480O Goodfellow boulevard, St. Louis, will be reacti vated immediately for the production of 105-millimeter artillery projectiles, it was announced here today. The announcement was made jointly by Senators Stuart Symington and Edward V.

Long, Missouri Democrats. An Army spokesman said the Government-owned plant would be operated by the Chevrolet division of General Motors Corp. under a $21,566,188 contract awarded today by the Army Ammunition Procurement and Supply Agency at Joliet, III. He said about 4,500,000 artillery shells would be produced under the contract. The Army spokesman said that reactivation of the St.

Louis plant "is necessary to increase production to support the increased level of effort in Viet Nam." The Sole Source He said the contract was not fivbmitted to compet'tive bidding, but was negotiated with the Chevrolet division because it "is the sole source" in this field. Plans are for production at the St. Louis plant to begin about January, the Army an. nounced. The employment level is expected to reach about 2500 by next May.

About 130 maintenance personnel now are employed at the plant. The force of 2500 would approach the peak level of employment at the plant reached in World War II, when 3000 persons were employed there. Construction of the St. Louis plant was started in January 1941 and was completed in May 1942. In World War II.

the shell plant produced 2,500,000 rounds of 105-millimeter projectiles. Tha plant became inactive immediately after World War II. Opened in Korean War It was reopened in August 1951 and in the Korean conflict produced 19,000,000 artillery shells. Improvements in machinery and techniques apparently accounted for the much larger production in the Korean conflict, the Army spokesman said. In both war periods, the plant was operated by the Chevrolet division.

The plant went under stand-by maintenance in 1957 with the United States Defense Corp. as contractor-operator. The Army statement made It clear that the demands of the Viet Nam war for artillery shells prompted the reopening of the St. Louis plant. There have been complaints by Republican members of Congress and others that insufficient artillery ammunition was being supplied United States forces in Viet Nam.

The artillery shell plant originally was a part of the St. Louis small arms ammunition plant, which covered 276 acres along Goodfellow boulevard. The shell plant covers 21 acres at the northern end of the original complex. Except for this ammunition plant and a 60-acre tract now occupied by the Army Mobility Equipment Center, all the orig- inal government property there flas Deen 10 Private inlus- try as surplus property.

He said that appeasement led to World War II, and if Com-munist aggression was not stopped in Viet Nam it would bring on World War III. Rusk spoke at the convention of the Veterans of Foreign Wars. He recalled that Germany took over Czechoslovakia, Italy marched into Ethiopia and Japan into Manchuria. Statement Recalled "Some said, 'give the aggres sors another bite and they'll be- have or 'you have stand Rusk recalled. "It all sounds very modem.

But that was the cynicism, that was the neglect that led to World War II." He said, "It is not for us to be the policeman of the world but we have a job to assure a durable peace."

WYANT JR. A Washington Correspondent of the Post-Dispatch WASHINGTON.

Aug. 22-Presi-dent Lyndon B. Johnson met yesterday on Canadian soil with Canada's Prime Minister Lester B. Pearson. They compared notes on Viet Nam and Mr.

Johnson told Pearson the United States position on the war had not changed. The two chiefs of state conferred privately for more than two hours at Rossmount, a private inn on the Canadian mainland. They went there from Campobello island, New Brunswick, where the late Franklin D. Roosevelt had a summer "cot- tage," and where they returned for speeches and a ceremony. It was their first meeting eiice Pearson visited Mr.

Johnson in April 1965 at Camp David, the presidential retreat in Maryland, after having irritated the President by publicly proposing a. suspension of bombing in North Viet Nam. Escalation Not Discussed Sunday's conference went amicably, but nothing new in the way of initiatives about Viet Nam came from either the United States or Canada. Aides said the recent escalation of of American 'bombings was not touched on. In an address at the former Roosevelt summer home here, after the talks, Pearson said the meeting with Mr.

Johnson had been "very worthwhile indeed" and he proceeded to omit from his speech a statement he had planned to make expressing hope "that the bombs may cease to fall." A Canadian aid told reporters he assumed Pearson had left out the phrase because "he did not want to be misunderstood."

The Bureau of Labor Statistics annouced today that the consumer price index now stands at 113.3, which is 2.8 per cent higher than a year earlier. The 113.3 figure means that it now costs $11.33 for a typical selection of commodities that cost $10 in 1957-1959, the period on which the index is based.

The July figure, a new high, compares with 112.9 for June. A rise of 1.2 per cent in transportation costs in July resulted largely from increased transit fares in New York City and higher prices for used automobiles, gasoline, tires, automobile repairs, and insurance. Subway and bus fares went up by a nickel to 20 cent sin New York City. Used Car Prices Up Used car prices rose 1.8 per cent; new car prices were down 0.1 per cent, much less than the usual July decline. Food prices usually go up in July by 1.4 per cent but last month's Increase was 0.4 per cent.

Prices of meats, fruits and vegetables were generally steady. Milk, butter and eggs went up mare than usual at this season. Egg prices took a 5.5 per cent jump when hot weather cut production. Because of increases in the cost of living over the last few months about 1.140,000 workers will receive wage increases. These are workers covered by "escalation" clauses in contracts providing for more pay when living costs rise.

SNIFFING SNOOPER FINDS BOMBS ON PLANES BY ODOR CHICAGO, Aug. 22 (UPI) -Scientists at the Illinois Institute of Technology have produced a snooper that sniffs. The snooper, somewhat larger than a breadbox, was de veloped to detect bombs placed rtn airliners anA uam BlVnhmA rews danger before take- off.

Morton J. Klein, director of the applied chemistry division of institute said' several problems in the odor sensor have been solved and it now appears to be foolproof. It will be demonstrated late this year for the Federal Aviation Agency in Washington, he said. Klein said the device operates by absorbing all odors in the passenger and baggage compartments of a plane and differentiating among them by electronic and chemical means. The process was developed by Andrew Dravniek at the Institute.

The snooper can be made to produce a red light in the cockpit of a plane when it smells an alien odor, such as that of bomb, Klein said. LONE SAILOR ILL AT SEA PICKED UP BY U.S. CUTTER NEW YORK, Aug. 22 (AP)-A Coast Guard cuiter headed toward Argentia, today after picking up 72-year-old Capt. William Willis, who became ill when attempting to sail his 11-foot boat alone to England.

A doctor aboard the cutter Ingham, which reached the small craft last night 330 miles south of Cape Race, found Willis was not suffering from a strangulated hernia, as Willis had feared, but from a bilateral hernia a two-pronged protrusion of. an abdominal organ through connective tissue or through the wall of the cavity in which the organ lies. Willis's plight was discovered by a passing freighter. The cutter is expected to reach Argentia tomorrow morning. Willis, who once sailed the South Pacific alone, left here two months ago in the "Little One" named for his wife, Tess bound from Plymouth, England.

The Ingham, on a routine trip from Norfolk, to Newfoundland, was directed to Willis when about 150 miles from his given position, 850 miles east of New York. Orbiter Taking Photos of Moon Landing Sites Craft Dips to 36 Miles Over Target in New Orbit PASADENA, Aug. 22 (UPI) United States space scientists, hoping to salvage part of the first Lunar Orbiter mission, commanded the spacecraft today to start taking pictures of potential landing sites on the moon. The 850-pound flying photo graphic laboratory was eased into a new orbit yesterday and was now dipping as low as 36 miles above the lunar surface at its perilune, or low point. The first picture-taking from the new orbit started at 5:15 a.m.

(St. Louis time) when 16 frames were snapped covering the vicinity of Mare Fecundita-tis, one of the moon's seas. Site No. 1 Telescopic charts and other spacecraft photographs of the moon indicate that this area-designated Site No. 1 is pocked with lunar features such as a highland plain and numerous craters.

On succeeding low swoops, Orbiter's functioning moderate-resolution camera was to be pointed at a highland area along the southern shoreline of Mare Tranquillitatis. The pictures, however, will not be released for several months. Despite the apparent loss of the high-resolution camera, Orbiter project officials at Jet Pro pulsion Laboratory here hoped to compensate by possibly hav ing the moderate-resolution cam- era photograph a much broader area than planned. Clifford H. Nelson, project manager for the National Aeronautics and Space Administration, who predicted that the mission would still be 75 per cent successful, said the moderate-resolution lens should show the steepness of slopes.

One interviewer' told Ringo Starr, the drummer Beatle, that he was interested in the musical mike-up of their songs. "Well, I really don't quite know what to say," Ringo replied. "Musically, they're nothing extraordinary." One reporter asked Paul McCartney whether he preferred to write songs or to perform.

He liked writing, Paul said, and he did not think that he and the other Beatles were very good as performers. John the literary Beatle, remarked that everybody had been "doubly kind" to them in the controversy about his statement that the Beatles were more popular now than Jesus Christ.
