said. Blaiberg is to be buried at [5 p.m. Monday in Cape Town.
Doctors did not make an immediate statement on the cause o' death but it was believed to be the body’s tendency to reject implanted organs, plus general tissue degeneration.
Blaiberg was admitted to Groote Schuur last Thursday for the third time since his operation, after suffering a serious relapse Aug. 11. Twice before doctors had fought and overcome the rejection process, but Blaiberg’s health had been poor for several months since his last release from hospital May 23.

“I’m certainly not an a ist,” said Armstrong. He however, he did not have a denominational identification.
WORD PUZZLE Armstrong was unable to settle a grammatical puzzle that has arisen from his first words after stepping on the surface of the moon.
The phrase as it was understood on the ground was “that’s one small step for man.” But Armstrong said he intended to say “a man.”
“I can’t confirm the words,” he said. “I know what my intentions were, but I can’t confirm I said those words.”
Aldrin said that despite warning lights flashing from an onboard computer, he and Armstrong were “a good ways away from a condition calling for an i abort” during the final few seconds before landing on the jmoon. Armstrong said he and 'Aldrin were determined to continue toward a landing if they (could, even though the computer was malfunctioning. Fuel was running low and he had to | quickly take manual control of ' the spacecraft to avoid its landing on a boulder-strewn crater.

STORM’S WINDS
All Precautions Taken, Says Miss. Solon
By LANNY THOMAS
(Times-Picayune Staff Corrssoondent)
GULFPORT - “About all we can do now is just pray.”
Mississippi state Sen. Nap Cassibry echoed what must have been the thoughts of thousands of other persons Sunday night as the winds of Hurricane Camille began hitting Gulfport.
“And I’m not being facetious,” he said in the tense Civil Defense headquarters where he was coordinating operations. ■‘After all, these are God-given elements.”
Sen. Cassibry said everything possible had been done to prepare for the storm and “I hope we haven't left any loopholes.”
Asked how he thought the Gulf Coast would withstand the hurricane, Cassibry said, “I just don’t know. We’ve never had 190-mile-an-hour winds here before.”
By 8 p. m. the tides were al-ready lapping at the road's
tisions made during LBJ presidency.
