Kennedy Showers Affection
On Famous U. S. Astronaut
WASHINGTON (UPI) The
White House today showered ad
miration and affection on as
tronaut L. Gordon Cooper and
the space hero accepted it all with
t modest smile.
President Kennedy was the first
to greet Cooper when he arrived
in a bubble top limousine on the
south grounds of the executive
mansion outside Kennedy's office.
Kennedy' greeted Cooper with a
big smile and a "how are you,
major glad to see you."
The President then stood smil
ing as Cooper and his gray-haired
mother embraced. It was the
first time Mrs. Hattie Cooper, Ok
lahoma City, Okla., had seen her
son since he had conquered space.
She beamed with pride.
Hiding to the White House with
Cooper after their helicopter set
down on the ellipse nearby was
his wife, Trudy, and their two
daughters, Camala, 14, and Jan
ita, 13.

Rusk's meeting with the new
Canadian premier was ono of the
highlights of a round of consulta

Canadian Foreign Minister Paul

of the premier's meeting 10 days
ago with President Kennedy were
very apparent.
Martin said he and Rusk cov
ered the agenda for the NATO
meeting and also discussed two
"bilateral questions." He declined
to disclose what they were but
presumably they involved the Co
lumbia River pact and Canadian
American governmental efforts to
settle Great Lakes labor strife.

Soviets Request
Missile-Free
Mediterranean
WASHINGTON (UPI) Russia
has proposed to the United Stutes
that nuclear weapons be removed
from "the cntiro Mediterranean
Sea," officials disclosed today.
The proposal was contained In
a nolo delivered by Soviet Ambas
sador Anatoly F. Dobrynin to Un
dersecretary of State George W.
Bull Monday afternoon.
Officials said it called for a
nuclear-free Mediterranean, a pro
posal Russia apparently has not
made in such terms before.
The movo appeared directed al
most entirely at the deployment
of U.S. nuclear-powered Polaris
missile-firing submarines In the
Mediterranean.
The United States announced
earlier this year that it was with
drawing Jupiter missiles from
Italy and Turkey and replacing
them with three missile firing sub
marines on Mediterranean duly.
It recently was announced that
two of these submarines have ar
rived on station.
Sources here said the Soviet
note appeared to call for banning
nuclear weapons from the Medi
terranean Itself, but not the coun
tries surrounding it.
There have been proposals for
nuclear free zones" before, but
not quite like this one, as officials
described it.
One, proposed by Polish Foreign
Minister Adam Rapacki, and
called the "Rapacki plan" called
for banning nuclear weapons in a
broad belt across the middle of
Europe.
The Communist hloc endorsed
the Rapacki plan. The U.S. posi
tion was that it would be willing
to discuss such proposals, hut only
as part of a much broader dis
armament measure.
