House Solons Take A New Look, But Not Action On Land Sales WASHINGTON (UPD The House public lands subcommittee has taken another look at legis lation designed to ease the sale of public lands. But once again it took no action. The principal witness appearing before the committee was Thom as L. Kimball, executive director of the National Wildlife Federation who urged "caution" in the dis posal of government-owned lands. "As much public land as pos sible should be retained in federal ownership." Kimball said. "In short, I believe that only those lands adjacent to urban develop ments should be disposed of, and those for residential or industrial purposes." Kimball also urged that any lands sold for educational, library, park or recreation use be subject to recovery by the federal govern ment if used for other purposes, Muslims Offer Story Of Riot LOS ANGELES (UP1) One of 14 defendants in a dial stemming from a riot in front of a Black Muslim temple a year ago testi fied this week Ronald Stokes was shot to death by a policeman aft er shouting, "stop, stop, don't shoot anymore." Stokes, a member of the sect, was the only man to die in the riol April 27, 1962. But 13 others, including seven policemen, were injured or wounded. Roosevelt Walker. 28. testified that after Stokes yelled for the of ficer to stop shooting the police man "turned on him and fired." Thirteen of the defendants are charged with felony assault. John H. Morris, head of the local temple, is charged with assault with intent to commit murder. Walker and two other witnesses testified that Morris was not at the scene at the time of the riot. Walker said he had been shot while standing on a street corner watching the riot and some "brothers" slopped to help him back to the temple. All three testified that Morris came from the temple to aid Walker when police emeigeif from a car and shot three men. "One (officer) was shouting and had a club and started swinging it and said, 'you niggers get up against the wall.' " Walker said. "The men started to struggle with the iwliceinan with a club. The other officer started shooting. I saw three men fall." Walker said that it was then that Stoker shouted for the police to slop shooting and was shot: "Such a procedure would stop, in some measure, speculation in land prices and would prohibit the disposal of public lands solely as I a means of providing additional revenue to finance local and slate governments," he said. Kimball's views drew the sup port of Rep. John P. Saylor, R-Pa. the ranking minority member of the Interior Committee. Saylor, noting the pressure for increased sale of public lands in the West, said "too many people in the West have come to look upon the public lands as their own private domain." The subcommittee is considering three bills introduced by Interior Committee Chairman Wayne N. Aspinall. D-Colo.; Rep. Morris K. Udall, D-Ariz., and Rep. JchnJ. Rhodes, R-Ariz. The Aspinall bill, requested by the Interior Department, would allow the sale of tracts up to 5,000 acres when, the .lands -were de clared by the interior secretary to be not needed for any federal program. The Udall bill would provide for sale of lands needed for commun ity expansion. The Rhodes bill would call for such lands to be sold to the state for resale within 10 years.

WASHINGTON (LTD The Atomic Energy Commission has cancelled three small nuclear tests planned for later this month at its Nevada testing grounds. It gave no reason for the action. The AEC made no mention of a Radio Moscow broadcast that hinted Russia might resume test ing if the United States followed through on the low kilolon Nevada blasts. The cancellation announcement Monday followed White House con firmation that President Kennedy had received a letter recently from Soviet Premier Nikita Khru shchev concerning test-ban talks in Geneva. U.S. sources said Khrushchev's letler, which also went to British Prime Minister Harold Macmillan. took the test-ban issue "neither forward nor backward." The Soviet leader's message re plied to one Kennedy and Macmil lan sent last April in an effort to get the deadlocked test-ban talks moving again. They urged that discussions he intensified on the mechanic! of on-site inspec tions, bypassing until later the dis pute over the specif ice number of inspections each year. Albert McBee, Mk.

To be sure, parents can't as sume full responsibility for this problem. But parents should see to it that their children get proper health care and that physical fitness Isn't neglected in schools. Urge your local school officials to provide a physical education program that calls for at least 1 5 minutes of vigorous activity every day for all girls and boys. A basic program has been de veloped that is improving the fitness of our children. It is easy to administer in any school. It costs little to get it started. It can improve any child's physi cal fitness. If you'd like to know more about this program, write to The President's Council on Physical Fitness, Washington 25, D. C.

What makes him climb into a cramped space capsule, with per haps death as his co-pilot, and try to fly further than any Amer ican has ever flown before? For LeRoy Gordon Cooper Jr., who has traveled the long road from prodigy pilot to prodigy spaceman, perhaps this is the answer: "I am convinced," Cooper once said, "that my whole life has been leading up to the exciting moment when I shall be selected - to go into space." Cooper, 36, slim as a rail, fol lows in the footsteps of the avia tion pioneers the Charles Lind bergs who knew the fear and thrill of reaching into the un known. Friend of Flyers "I was born and raised in the flying crowd." says Cooper. "My father was the friend of aviation pioneers like Wiley Post and used to fly all over the Southwest in an old Command-Air biplane." At 36, Cooper ts a 150-pound package of tightly coiled energv. Yet there is a paradox, lie is quiet-spoken and shy in public. Within the tight ranks of the astronauts, it is said, he is ag gressive and even vociferous. When asked once if he were more outspoken than the other astronauts. Cooper replied sim ply, "1 have always tried to be honest with you." In this tightly knit community where motels have names like "Satellite" and "Vanguard," and w here neon signs on used car lots at night shoot upwards like rock ets. Cooper is recognized but not really known. Observers say he Is something of a loner an individualist who speaks not in space-age cliches, but says what he thinks. Cooper does not share astronaut John II. Glenn's delight in two mile conditioning runs along the beach. One report says Cooper believes "astromiats should be pilots and not decathlon cham pions." Closest Friend A report says his closest friend among the astronauts is Navv Cmdr. Walter M. Schirra Jr Riversdale Folks Back From Trip By BEVERLY CHRISTIAN . Mr. and Mrs. Clyde N.

Jerry Wickman has returned to his home in Hollywood, Calif., after spending two weeks at the home of his brother-in-law and sis ter Mr. and Mrs. Don Krusc. While here he was making ar rangements to move here in June I with his family. Cooper was Schirra's back up pilot while Schirra prepared for his six-orbit flight last Oct. 3. As soon as he was back on the ground, Schirra started campaign ing for Cooper to make the mara tance," Cooper said. "I'm sure wondered what it would be like to go way up and tee what the earth looks like from a great dis tance," Cooper said. "I'm sure I'll find out one day soon." The National Aeronautics and Space Administration named' Cooper to make the 22 -orbit space I flight on Nov. 13, 1962. ! Cooper, known to his friends as! "Gordie" or "Gordo," was born March 6, 1927, .in Shawnee, Okla., a town of about 25,000. He attend ed high school in Murray, Ky., and enlisted after graduation in the Marine Corps in 1945.
