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.

That's what parents often say
when told about the decline in
our children's physical fitness.
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 a slender, eight-year-old
boy want to soar over
the southwest in a single-engine
airplane?
What makes him receive a
pilot's license at 16?
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

ground, Schirra started campaign
ing for Cooper to make the mara
tance," Cooper said. "I'm sure

tance," Cooper said. "I'm sure
I'll find out one day soon."

Holsum is extra fresh, because Fluhrer's
takes one extra, special step. Before bak

Each loaf is tenderly twisted . . . gently
. . . to lock out flavor-robbing air, and
then baked to a golden turn. That's what
gives Holsum such fine, velvety texture,
such fresh flavor. Try it!
