Conquest of Space Scon To Be Within Man's Grasp, Group Told Chicago OP) An Air Force physician predicted today that aircraft soon will be capable of Hying at altitudes of about 38 miles and speeds over 3,000 mph. putting the conquest of space within man's grasp. Capt. W. M. Snowden of the Aviation Medicine Division, Navy Bureau of Medicine and Surgery, Washington, spoke at an atomic symposium during the 22nd annual congress of the In ternational College of Surgeons. 'Scientists and engineers backed by the United States gov ernment are headed for outer ?pace." Snowden said. Barker's are looking for the perfect girl under 40.

Scientists say the earth's at mosphere is an insignificant film, the doctor said, and "mili tary technology is about to out grow it, as it outgrew the earth's surface two world wars ago. Navigation of the air film is no longer enough." Within The Grasp "It is not speculative to say that soon we will see aircraft capable of flying at 200,000 feet altitude and at over 3,000 miles per hour, and also that the con quest of space is now within the grasp of engineers," Snowden continued. "Already, rockets have car ried animals well into the fringes of the earth's atmos phere." Snowden reported the Navy presently is perfecting a full pressure space suit "which com pletely enfolds and protects the pilot regardless of what the alti tude might be." He said that in the near future, a pressure cabin or sealed capsule must be de vised. "Man must carry his own Hoffa Rivals H 3 V Scattered Backing, Survey Discloses Washington HP) Rivals of Teamster chieftain James R. Hoffa in the race for Teamsters Union president have only scat tered backing from union con vention delegates, a United Press survey showed today. A poll of a dozen major cen ters of Teamster strength indi cated that Hoffa, tough-talking Midwest vice president of the union, has more than twice as many delegate votes lined up than all three of his rivals to gether. 492 For Hoffa Of the 707 delegates included in the poll, 492 lined up for Hof fa, 53 were pledged to one of his opponents and 162 were un decided. A total of 1,924 will be eligible to vote for president at the convention. A total of 963 are needed to elect.

He said research also is under way to solve the problem of dis posing of the metal-melting heat generated by aircraft flying at more than 1.000 mph. Judgment Needed Although much attention is being given to guided missiles, Snowden concluded. "The little 'black box' will never replace the judgment inherent in a trained pilot in a well guided weapons system." Another speaker, Capt. Harry J. Alvis, Washington, director of the Navy Bureau's Submarine Medicine Division, called the crew of nuclear-powered sub marines the unsung naval heroes of the future. He said the atom submarines "will be an integral cog in the machinery of massive retaliation which keynotes our national de fense policy." The crews will do outpost duty in far parts of the world, Alvis said, spending long periods 'in isolation from the rest of the world and constantly combat ting boredom. Alvis said the best future counter - weapon of the sub marine will be another sub marine. The figures contrast sharply with the claim by one candidate, Thomas J. Haggerty of Chicago, who has said that he will have 700 sure votes when the conven tion opens SepL 30 in Miami Beach. Three Contend Wiih Hoffa Haggerty, secretary-treasurer of a Chicago milk wagon driver's local; Rep. John F. Shelly (D Calif). and Teamsters Vice Presi dent Thomas L. Hickey of New York are contending with Hoffa for the $50,000-a-year post now held by retiring President Dave Beck. The three Hoffa rivals have hinted that they will form a coa lition and unite behind one anti-Hoffa candidate if necessary to insure Hoffa's defeat. The Western Conference of Teamsters, meeting in Seattle, Tuesday refused to endorse any of the four candidates. Labor sources believed this would help Hoffas opponents nail down more delegates. The survey by United Press showed the Ohio Joint Council, with 131 delegates, would cast 124 votes for Hoffa. The St. Louis Joint Council said it ex pected all 60 of its delegates to vote for Hoffa. Some Refuse Figures In Chicago, Haggcrty's home town, the head of the district council said Hoffa should "easily receive 80 per cent" of the council's 186 votes. Big Teamsters' organizations in New York and Los Angeles refused to provide a breakdown on their delegates' choices. Hickey, a New Yorker, has claimed he has 350 votes lined up already. The Philadelphia Joint Coun cil representing 81,000 mem bers in three states voted to cast its 102 votes for Hoffa. But Council President John B. Jackhus, an outspoken foe of la bor racketeers, said the decision may not be binding on the dele gates. Beck Arraignment Scheduled Today Tacoma (ID Dave Beck was scheduled to be arraigned in U. S. District Court here this afternoon on charges of evading income taxes. His son, Dave Beck Jr., and two officials of the Teamsters' Union were to be arraigned on charges of conspiring to help the elder Beck cheat the govern ment. The officials are Norman Gessert and Fred Verschueren Sr. Judge George Boldt was ex pected to set an arraignment date for Nathan Shefferman, Chicago labor relations consult ant, and his son, Shelton. They also are charged with conspir acy to help Beck evade taxes. The six were indicted by a federal grand jury which delib erated here for four weeks.

Purge To Tighten Security in Cuba Havana, Cuba (IP) The gov ernment today counted on a sweeping purge of high military and police officers to tighten security measures against the rebels of Fidel Castro.
