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.

lie said the cost will be "as
astronomical as its objective,"
but added its success is a nation
al necessity because "no nation
will be safe unless it can also
navigate the vacuum that hangs
overhead."
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.

earth-born atmosphere along
with him in this sealed cockpit,"
the Navy physician continued.
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.
