Gals not to be outdone want to share
in US. explorations in outer space
Space, in the words of President
Kennedy, is "the new ocean," and
the women want to get their feet wet.
They want to be astronauts. Se
riously. And, inasmuch as our law-givers
are evergallant and occasionally
willing to forsake their natural desire
to avoid the limelight the women are
ieing taken seriously.
The story goes back to last sum
mer, when 12 women were certified by
the Lovelace Foundation, Albuquerque,
N.M., as qualified to be astronauts.
They had undergone the same exacting
physical and psychological tesls given
to the Project Mercury spacemen.
Then in March Mrs. Philip A, Hart,
41, wife of the senator from Michigan
and a licensed helicopter and airplane
pilot, wrote letters to members of the
Senate and House science committees
urging that women bo included in the
U. S. space program. And on March 15,
Mrs. Hart and Jerric Cobb, a woman
pilot from Oklahoma who holds the
world's altitude and speed records for
women, called on Vice President Lyn
don B. Johnson, chairman of the Nation
al Aeronautics and Space Council.
They told Johnson that the United
States would lose another space first to
Russia if this country did not start
training a woman for space flight soon.
Russia will put a woman in orbit by
September, they said. Johnson, not un
skilled at avoiding commitments, said
he had no authority to make a decision
of this sort. Tactfully, ho suggested
that they talk to the National Aero
nautics and Space Administration.
Technically, the only thing Mrs.
Hart, Miss Cobb, and their 10 sister
space volunteers lack to qualify for
NASA's Project Mercury is experience
as Jet test pilots. At any rate, the let
ters written last March got results. A
special subcommittee of the House
Committee on Science and Astronautics
is launching a series of hearings at
which Mrs. Hart, Miss Cobb, and the
other as yet unnamed Lovelace gradu
ates will be given a chance to testify.
Chairman of the House group, Rep.
Victor Anfuso (D N.Y.), says he'll call
some NASA people. He has in mind
also consulting such prominent lay
women as Mrs. Eleanor Roosevelt and
Mrs. Harry S. Truman.
The Washington hearings are ex
pected to take about three days. Anfuso
and his colleagues plan subsequent
hearings in California, the Midwest, and
New York. (N. B. Congress as of mid
June has approved about 7 per cent of
the administration's legislative re
quests, has rejected finally 2.8 per cent,
has taken no action at all on 26.3 per
cent.)
The committee presumably will
call Dr. Randolph W. Lovelace II, who
says of the potential woman space pi
lot: "She weighs much less (than a
man), consumes less oxygen, needs less
food, and has proven herself to be bet
ter capable of standing psychological
strains in certain stress situations." By
and large, she is better looking, too.
One woman who has emphatically
refrained from volunteering for outer
space is Mrs. Llewellyn E. Thompson,
Jr., wife of the former ambassador to
Russia. Major Yuri Gagarin, the Soviet
Union's first cosmonaut, asked Mrs.
Thompson at the Kremlin's New Year's
Eve party: "Wouldn't you like to fly in
to space?"
"No," replied Mrs. Thompson. "I
do not have a license to drive that kind
of thing." She evidently doesn't intend
to apply for one, either.
Lumber woe continues in region
A. Robert Smlt h reports from
Washington that President Kennedy
turns thumbs down on proposals that
we put imports of Canadian lumber on
a quota or increase tariff on such im
ports. The President's reasons are that
he Is strongly committed to tariff re
duction, not increase, and this would
be Inconsistent with that policy. Also
Canada is under serious economic trial
In the matter of foreign exchange and
this is no time to add to its woes.
This decision was plain as a pike
staff to those who took a good look at
American-Canadian relations. Mean
time the Forest Service says it Is doing
all it can to Increase timber sales up to
full allowable cut. though no one ex
plains how cutting' more lumber will
increase the market price.
Relief through amending the Jones
Act seems to be quite as remote as put
ting a quota on imports of lumber from
Canada. The Maritime administrator,
Donald W. Alexander, speaking for the
secretary of commerce, Luther Hodges,
voiced the opposition of the Commerce
department to any immediate action to
opening Inlercoastnl shipping to foreign
vessels or to give subsidies for the lum
ber haul. This brought a blast from
Quotable-quotes
We arc a people filled with fear,
frustration, disappointment and sin.
We are in danger of becoming jaded,
Senator Morse with one of his threaten
ing phrases: "Let me say to the Presi
dent. . ."
There are three ideas on this. Sena
tor Neuberger would remove the pro
tection given to domestic shipping.
Senator Magnuson would provide a sub
sidy to offset the freight advantage of
Canada lumber shippers. Rep. Tollefson
of Washington says chances of getting
any subsidy are slim Congress won't
go for it; so he has a bill authorizing
the secretary of commerce to suspend
the operation of the Jones Act under
special conditions. Morse rides In all
directions In his demands for govern
ment action to relieve distressed lum
bermen. Funny, but none of the senators or
congressmen seems to have thought of
a government subrldy for not growing
trees, or not cutting them. Nor has any
one recommended a parity price guar
antee on lumber, along with leasing of
bins to store It In. Why not, since trees
are a basic agricultural crop?
The major fact Is that the Ills of
the Northwest lumber Industry are
largely interna!, and will not be cured
simply by some government poultice.

WASHINGTON MERRY-GO-ROUND
Pearson gets 'tributes'
from three congressmen
By Drew Pearson
WASHINGTON Three con
gressmen from three widely sep
arated parts of the USA recently
paid their respects to this writer
in varying terms of criticism and
abuse. They were:
1. Rep. Frank "all is made for
love" lioykin, the charming,
courtly solon from Mobile, Ala.,
who stated: Pearson is a
slanderer of southern congress
men who are fighting for the
south's cause in the nation's capital."
2. H. Carl Andersen of Tyler,
Minn., a Republican, who called
me every name under the sun in
denying a column account of how
he received $4,000 for the sale of
family mining stock to Billie Sol
Estcs, which was not delivered
The COP congressman was at
no loss for names because he had
tapped a compendium of quotes
Irom the Library of Congress,
originally prepared by my late
mother-in-law, who spent consid
erable time and money ghost
writing speeches for others to de
liver about her wayward son-in
law.
The unoriginal H. Carl Ander
sen simply tapped this readily
available supply of names, adieo
tives, and shopworn cuss-words,
which may have been one reason
why some of his Republican col
leagues ignored him.
Come in and say hello come
shake my hand," he begged, with
emotion in his voice and tears in
his eyes. "Don't pass by H. Carl
Andersen."
3. Clarence Cannon, the vener
able congressman from the Mark
Twain country of Missouri, a
Democrat, made a much shorter
speech and showed more original
ity. He did not tap my mother-in-law's
research in the Library
of Congress. He used no shopworn
expletives. Furthermore, he mim
eographed his speech for the
benefit of the press and delivered
it with clarity and better diction
than usual.
Rep. Cannon disagreed vigor
ously with my account of his dead
lock with Sen. Carl Hayden and
the Senate Appropriations Com
mittee over money bills to run
the U.S. government. I erred, he
said, in calling this a "sit-down
strike."
Now a word about Drew Pear
son," he concluded. "Mr. Speak
er, I regard him as an indispen
sable adjunct of our de facto gov
ernment. He has become an
American institution. In the lang
uage of the English parliament he
would bo denominated as 'Her
Majesty's opposition.' In Ecclesi
astical parlance he would be term
ed 'The Devil's Advocate.'
"Of course a man who must
write a column every day of the
year must at times embellish pro
saic annals of uneventful days
with a little sensationalism In or
der to make them readable. But
he arouses interest and some
times throws the needed light of
publicity on otherwise unnoted
phases of American life and con
sequently is always entertaining.
I take off my hat to him. And I
hereby express admiration of the
very interesting job he did on me.
In the language of Hip Van Win
kle, may he, in the risible com
radely of Mark Twain, Josh Bill
ings and the Baron Munchausen,
live long and prosper."
Here is what happened to these
three congressmen:
1. Boykin was defeated for re
nomination in Alabama. Obvious
ly, the people of Alabama did not
think he was fighting for the
smith's cause or that this writer
was slandering it.
2. Andersen announced that he
would bow out of the Republican
party and run as an independent
apparently because his fellow
Republicans were boycotting him.
Unable to get support as an inde
pendent, however, he now wants
to come back to the GOP fold.
3. Cannon at the age of 83 Is
still going strong, and I predict
will continue to do so. May his
economies always be judicious,
his parliamentary judgments
wise, and his re-elections as ensy
as rolling down the mother of wa
ters in front of his district.
The Congressman From Texas
Bnice Alger, the only Republi
can congressman from Texas,
would have remained In blissful
obscurity as far as most of the
nation is concerned, had It not
been for an incident In a Dallas
hotel lobby In l'.wo when he jostled
the hat of Mrs. Lyndon Johnson.
What a congressman does pri
vately is his business, and for
that reason, this column together
with many other newspapers Ig
nored the unsavory details of the
divorce charges brought against
the congressman from Pallas by
Mrs. Alger, docket 59-UK-DH.
court of Pallas County.
However, what a congressman
does in public, especially in the
Halls of Congress, is another mat
ter. The other d.tv passers by the
south corridor of the Capital
could not escape noting the con
gressman from Pallas, as sun
tanned as a Hollywood star, his
nrm around a beautiful high
school girl
A delegation of other high
school students came by from
Texas and paused near the
couple. It became apparent that
the recipient of the congressman's
affections was a member of the
group.
With the eyes of Texas upon
him. the congressman recovered
quickly, kept his arm nonchalant-,
ly around the young lady, as if it
was the most natural thing to do
in the world, and proceeded to
ask the students from Dallas how
they liked the Capitol and what
else they wanted to see in Wash
ington. World's Fair
zooms past
half-way mark
SEATTLE (UPI) -The Seattle
World's Fair zoomed past its half
way mark today, debt free and
soaring along with all the ear
marks of financial success.
Despite rumors of inadequate
housing and price gouging, thou
sands upon thousands of visitors
have been coming to the fair
daily. Few have left believing the
city and its fair were a pair of
slickers, waiting to pick the fair
goer's pocket.
The first 92 days of the 184-day
fair resulted in greater attendance
and loss housing and traffic troub
le than had been anticipated. The
more than 4.5 million first-half
attendance topped estimates of a
highly regarded research firm by
a quarter million. At the same
time, the feared crush of housing
problems and traffic james failed
to show.
Airlines, railways and bus com
panies showed continued heavy
reservations and bookings of tours
through August with no sharp drop
after Labor Day. Fair officials
look to August as their biggest
month.
"Seeirnr is believina." said
Ewan Dingwall, general manager
of tha fair. "We could tell the
world every day that we do have
good housing, good parking, reas
onable prices, but they won't be
lieve it until the fellow next door
tells them the fellow who has
been here."
The snaee-apo exmsition kicked
off its final booster stage today
when it paid the $4.5 million, plus
interest, owed its underwriters.
From now until closing day, Oct
21, the Century 21 show must live
on what it collects in the till. No
nno at fair headnuarters seemed
worried, although Joe Gandy,
president ot trie lair, stw nas nis
fingers crossed.
"I hope the first half was the
fnntrrmsr ' OanHv said, talking
like a football coach at halftime.
"Sometimes, the second half gets
more interesting. We still could
wind up on the short end, but give
us another 4.5 million attendance
and we'll close with every bill
paid and a Udy prom lor me cuy
and slate to share.
Laos settlement
direct outcome
of Vienna meet
GENEVA (UPD Soviet Foreign
Minister Andrei Gromyko said to
day the declaration of Laos as a
neutral state is a direct outcome
of President Kennedy's Vienna
meeting with Soviet Premier Ni
kita Khrushchev 13 mo ths ago.
Gromyko and Secretary of State
Dean Rusk joined in praising the
successful conclusion of the 14-na-tion
Laos conference at its final
meeting today and Rusk offered
Laos economic and technical aid
to eliminate the wastes of war.
The session of the conference
today saw the foreign ministers of
all 14 participants accept the neu
trality declaration of Laotian Pre
mier Prince Souvanna Phouma
thus setting up Laos as an inde
pendent and neutral state.
Gromyko and Rusk addressed
the conference . fe. hours before
they were scheduled to meet for
their first privato session on the
major cold wai topics of Berlin
and disarmament.
Their presence '.ie,e for the
signing of the Laotian neutrality
declaration has given them an op
portunity to resume high level
talks on crucial cold war issues.

Unions in Peru
rallying workers
against seizure
LIMA, Peru (UPI) Peru's
labor unions rallied the country's
workers Friday for a general
strike to protest the military seiz
ure of the government.
Two days after their coup
d'etat, the armed forces leaders
appeared in solid control despite
the strike threats, student demon
strations and hemispheric opposi
tion to their takeover.
Thursday night armed troops
and police broke up mobs of
screaming youths defying the rul
ing military junta. The security
forces shot over the heads of the
youths who surged through
Lima's downtown streets crying
"Freedom, freedom."
Sugar Workers Strike
The General Labor Confedera
tion called on the nation's work
ers to comply with an agreement
reached a few weeks ago to strike
Li the event of a coup.
Textile workers and students at
the University of San Marcos an
nounced they will join 12,000 sug
ar workers in the north who went
on strike Thursday. A telephone
strike has been in progress for
several days.
The sugar area in the north has
a strong following for Victor Raul
Haya de la Torre, leader of the
American Popular Revolutionary
Alliance (APRA), whose feud
with the armed forces was an un
derlying cause of the coup.
Not Considered Serious
Observers did not regard the
strikes and demonstrations so far
as any serious threat to the four
man ruling junta which overthrew
President Manuel Prado in a
bloodless coup Wednesday.
Mariano Ignaclo Prado, a rela
tive of the ousted president, was
released Thursday night by the
junta after two days of detention.
He said he was held with Man
uel Prado aboard the navy ship
Callao.
Mariano Prado said the former
president was In "perfect health,"
and would be freed "very soon,
probably tomorrow."
New tension
mounts in
Berlin
area
BERLIN (UPD-Bcrlin took on
a new air of tension Friday as
Communist and Western foreign
ministers gathered to discuss it
in Geneva. The Russians appeared
to have started a new harassment
campaign against Allied air traf
fic and both sides of the border
seethed with military activity.
Communist troops in combat kit
and armored cars drew up to the
border of the American Kreuzberg
District and set up two machine
guns in what appeared to be an
alert exercise.
They left after two hours but
later another unit went through
the same procedure at another
border point.
West Berlin emergency police
were busy building sandbag bar
ricades and wooden firing posts
for protection against any Commu
nist gunfire. Communist guards
strengthened antirefugee installa
tions on their side of the wall.
A U.S. Army battle group car
ried out field exercises in the
Grunewald Woods about 10 miles
away.
Soviet jet fighters have buzzed
western Allied transports at least
twice this week the first such ac
tion since March when the Rus
sians ended a two-month attempt
to restrict the airlines between
West Germany and West Berlin.
Both buzzings occurred Tuesday.
The U.S. mission said it had pro
tested both to the Russian rep
resentative at Berlin's Four Power
Air Safety Center.
One Russian jet made a pass
at a U.S. Federal Aviation Agency
transport flying to Berlin to test
radar and navigational aids. The
pass was said to have been clear
ly deliberate.

Churchill reported fd b&
old grumbling self again
NEW YORK (UPI) 'From Lon
don Via Telstar Satellite) Sir
Winston Churchill is his old
grumbling self again, a sure sign
the former prime minister is
making a sound recovery from
his broken thigh and may be
ready to go home from the hos
pital within the next few days.
The report on Churchill's con
dition came in a Telstar-relayed
telephone call from London,
placed by Daniel F. Gilmore,
European news editor of United
Press International, and received
here by Francis T. Leary, UPI
managing editor.
The telephone conversation was
one of several that took place
Pressure may
have been put
on Marshall
WASHINGTON (UPI) - An
oustud federal farm official sug
gested Friday that the late Henry
H. Marshall may have rescinded
his crackdown on Billie Sol Estcs'
cotton allotment transfers because
of pressure from superiors.
William P. Maltox, who de
scribed Marshall as a "good
friend," also suggested as an al
ternative that Marshall may have
believed amended regulations ulti
mately would bring justice to
farmers who made illegal trans
fer to Estos.
Mattox testified for the second
day at the Senate investigation of
Estes' operations.
Marshall, program specialist for
the Texas Agriculture Stabiliza
tion and Conservation Committee,
died from gunshot wounds in
June, 1961. His death originally
was ruled a suicide but the Texas
Rangers announced Thursday Uiat
they are investigating on the as
sumption it was murder.
Mattox, former vice chairman
of the Reeves County, Texas,
ASC Committee, was removed
from that post for accepting ex
penses from Estes for a trip to
Washington.
A self-styled "country boy"
from Estes' home town of Pecos,
Tex., Mattox Thursday accused
Agriculture Secretary Orville L.
Freeman of seeking to transfer
blame for the Estes case to
scapegoats at the local level.

Hacksaw used
in jail break
WALLA WALLA, Wash. (UPD
Charges of unlawful flight to es
cape prosecution were on file here
today against two men who es
caped from the Walla Walla
County jail Wednesday where
they were waiting trial.
Delbert M. Fuston, 36, Uma
pine. Ore., and Larry D. Bundy,
19, used a hacksaw to saw
through their cell bars on a back
window in the jail.
Sheriff's deputies said it was
believed the tw i had stolen a car
some time last night from the
State Line Lumber Co. near
Milton-Freewater, Ore.
Fuston was charged with armed
robbery and Spokane had issued
warrants charging him with two
counts of robbery. Bundy was
charged with first degree forgery.
Both men were considered ex
tremely dangerous, the sheriff's
office said.
Woman facing
murder charges
LOS ANGELES (UPI) - Mrs.
Jeane Sampson, 40, must stand
trial for murder Sept. 4 in the
fatal shooting of her husband, the
executive editor of the "Bun
Casey" television show.
The charge was changed from
manslaughter to murder Friday.
Deputy Dist. Atty. Harold Kippen
said revising the complaint to
murder was justified by evidence
produced at a preliminary hearing
for the defendant.
Mrs. Sampson was charged w ith
the death of John Edward Samp
son, 50. at their nearby Glendale
home May 6.
Thursday during the first demon
stration of multiple telephone
calls relayed by Telstar. The
United States also iransmiuro
via Telstar the first color televi
sion to Britain.
A total of 24 calls four at
n time upm made while the
Telstar satellite whirled on its
87th orbit 3,000 miles overhead at
a speed of 16,000 miles per hour
hetween the northern coast of
South America and Africa.
(A few hours after this latest
tirenkthroueh in communication
via Telstar, there came a criti
cism from Moscow charging that
the U.S. Telstar satellite) has
turned outer space "into a sphere
of rivalry among tne capitalistic
vultures."
(The accusation was made by
the Soviet government newspaper
Izvestia which told its readers
that Russ ia transmitted a televi-
sion image through space in 1959,
three years belore tne united
States.)
Reception of the telephone calls
between New York and London
was excellent. The calls were
made from headquarters of the
American Telephone and Tele
graph (AT&T) long lines depart,
mnnt in lower Manhattan to And-
over, Maine, up to the satellite,
down to Goonhilly Downs, fcng
land, then by land line to Fleet
in London.
The distance was estimated at
6,100 miles.
Milk pricing
law favored
SALEM (UPI) The adminis
trator of Oregon's temporary milk
stabilization law, Kenneth W.
Sawyer, said today that if a new
law is passed next year on milk,
he hopes milk pricing is built
right into the law.
This is the price that fanners
get from dealers for their milk.
The present law, which expires
Dec. 31, authorizes the state
agriculture department to set I
minimum price to producers. Saw
yer says this is too much of a
burden, and price-setting should
not be a part of administration.
He said his biggest headache
the past year has been the war
between producers and dealers
over pricing.
Sawyer said a price formula
could be written into a ne-v law
based on a variety of factors, the
key one being the natio .al price
of milk for manufacturing purposes.
