United States Said Most Hated Nation Waltham, Mass. -Jin- The United States is the most hat ed nation in the world, accord ing to former American am bassador to Russia George F. Kennan. Kennan, in a speech to 1 500 persons attending a Bran deis University foreign stu dent convocation, said Com munist propaganda is partly to blame. . "I cannot think of an in stance in which any great country has drawn upon itself, or has at least become the target of, so much obloquy, so much ill 'Will, so much dis approval and criticism, in some instances so much out right hatred, as has this one," he said.

Try and -By BENNETT CERF- RICHARD MANEY recalls an where the great comedian girls all secured, he assured Then he mounted an ornate staircase, got dowh on his hands and knees, and rolled a red carpet to the foot lights so that his harem' could negotiate a truly ma jestic entrance. Just before the first-girl wriggled into sight, Wynn giggled and said, "I bet you'll never catch Katharine Cornell do ing anything like this." Composer Edward MacDo. elt once was told, "Every girt in the music course at our high school must leant to play your wonderful piece. To at Wild Rose'." MacDowell took the in formation in stride.

Q IMS. by Bennett Ceff. Distributed bf King- Feature Syndicate. In the Day's News ly FRANK JENKINS Well, we're off to the moon. We didn't make it this time. But we'll make it sooner or later. Nothing can be more certain than that. Our moon circling rocket almost went beyond the pull of the earth's gravity. That is more than man ever achieved before. KEEP this in mind: We went gunning for a landing on the moon this time. " - What we're aiming at is 4o circle the moon with Our instrument-bearing rocket. We hope to take pictures of the moon's other side. The pic tures, if taken, may be trans mitted back by apparatus sim ilar to TV. Man has never seen the other side of the moon. What man has never seen, man Stop Me act in an Ed Wynn revue promised a Stageful of glorious the audience, at fantastic cost. CRAVES to see. That is in herent in human nature. VyHY has man never seen " the moon's other side? You can demonstrate that to yourself by a simple ex periment. Stand a candle on the table pass an orange around it. Rotate the orange at such a rate that when you have passed the orange clear around the candle it will be back where it started frOm. If you will do that careful ly, you will note that at no point - in the circle has ' the other side of the orange been illuminated by the light of the candle. That Is the way the moon rotates around the earth. " ITS a difficult job. At the -- time the rocket (named the Pioneer) was fired, the moon was about 220,000 miles from the earth. To intercept the moon, a rocket would have to travel about 250,000 miles. , The rocket will have to LEAD the moon-as a hunter "leads" A duck. It Will have to "aim where it ain't to hit where it is." If you ever shot a duck, you will know that takes some doing. WHAT good will a look at the other side of the moon do us? What good did a look at the- ether side of the moun tain do the bear? The bear just WANTED TO SEE IT. Perhaps he thought the other side of the mountain might have better berries on it. v Following the same think ing, we5re not sure but there may be' precious minerals on the moon. . IN closing, the 64 TRILLION dollar question: - If we succeed in other flights that Will follow, will it be good for us? Or will it be bad for us? CONSIDER -THIS: The Dark Ages followed the fall of Rome. Rome fell because she bit off more than she could chew. In an effort to run the world, she spread herself too thin. The inevit able followed. . 'Remember this: Twenty nHrl centuries &eo. Rome and Carthage stood in the world of then where the U.S. and Russia stand in the world of now. Rome destroyed Carthage. The rest including the Dark Ages followed in sequence. A THOUGHT: Thfc vovaee of Columbus which wasn't too dissimi lar to our attempted voyage into Outer space rekindled mankind's HOPE and lifted the world out . of the Dark Asps Maybe interspacial . explor ation can divert mankinds attention away from the bat- ti tn the death that will 6n sue if the United States and Russia follow the tragic course that was followed by Rome and Carthage.

About SO minutes after the rocket was launched from Cape Canaveral, Fla., and when it was some 20,000 miles above the earth's surface, a previously prepared press re lease Was issued proudly as serting that the lunar . probe rocket was "the first man, made object to escape the earth's gravitational field." It was no such thing. And officials acknowledged today it was never intended to es cape from gravity since it was headed for the moon which itself is within the earth's gravitational influence. The blooper was a sample of difficulties encountered in handling the sensational rock et launching. Some reporters and several officials consider ed that information on the whole lunar probe program could have been handled bet ter and faster. j Hold Back Information For example,' many rocket authorities suspected and probably knew 24 hours be fore , it was announced that the Pioneer would not go far ther than about 80,000 miles and that its speed was a few hundred miles an hour less than intended. But the world was deprived of thatanforma tion until a 1 p.m. (p.s.t.) Sun day news conference at the National Academy of Sciences here. The rocket was launched at 12:42 a.m. (p.s.t.) Saturday. After midnight that day very little information on its po sition or scientific findings was released prior to the Sun day news conference ' for which the data apparently was being held back. Asked by United Press In ternational for an explanation of the blunder about escaping gravity, the" Pentagon said to day its press release of Satur day "wfls technically inaccu rate in that it was never in tended that Pioneer should es cape the earth's gravitational field completely." Admits Mistake Maj. Gen. Donald N. Yates, commander of the Atlantic missile range at Cape Cana veral, said Monday the mis take simply "slipped by all of us." "One thing is clear,'' said Yates who is rapidly becom ing one of the military serv ices' better experts in public relations: "Before the next moon probe, those of us charged with reporting our own" Operation ' to the press and Other news media must familiarize ourselves with the new terminology of space flight. . "I sincerely hope this slip will be excused and, as such, that it will not dull our hon est appreciation of the tremen dous achievements of the Pio neer's flight," he said. Yates, whose statement was issued through the Pentagon, sought to take on a share of the blame. He said the of fending press release had been "thoroughly coordinat ed" throughout rocket and space circles. Information Controlled The fact was, however, that information on the lunar probe was rather rigidly con trolled from" Washington. The mistake about escaping gravi tational pull could be taken as an outgrowth of a state ment made last Aug. 5 by Roy W. Johnson, director of the Pentagon's advanced research projects agency. , Johnson said an "objective of the Air Force lunar probe would be "to reach the escape velocity from earth's gravita tional field." He referred to the "flight of the test vehicle out Of the earth's gravitational field and into space to a dis tance of perhaps 250,000 miles from the earth."; ..: Pennsylvania has 2,363 post offices-more than any other state or territory.

Jet Blamed for Noise at Portland Portland-(UPD-The Air Force said today that an explosion felt in parts of Portland Mon day afternoon apparently was caused by a jet from the Port land Air Base. The Air Force said an inves tigation indicated the blast may have come from an F-102 Delta Dagger jet attached to the 337 Fighter Group. The aircraft was on a routine train ing flight, an official said. The blast was heard and felt at 11:15 a.m. A sonic boom is caused by pressure an airplane forms when it travels ffister than sound. Police, the sheriff's office and the fire department received calls from widely scattered parts of Portland. No damage was reported. The Air Force said the jet was flying at 40,000 feet south of the city at the time of the blast. 'Go ahead and shiver. YOU were the one who didn't order hotter-burning Flying A heating oil!" HEATING.

In those areas, he said, voters were more inter ested in the domestic job sit uation than in foreign policy.

Mdfert, Ortaan, Tuttdiy, October 14, 1SS Polio Outbreak Possibility Told The current polio epidemic in Detroit, Mich., is a vivid reminder that paralytic polio will remain a threat to every community in the nation as long as millions of Americans neglect vaccination, Jerry Gastineau, chairman of the Jackson county chapter of the National Foundation, declared today. "What is happening in De troit could happen here," Gas tineau said. "There are far too many unvaccinated individ uals in our county and many others who have had only one or two shots. While expanding our program to take in arthri tis and birth defects, we must not lose sight of the third face of crippling-polio. It is still with us." By the end of September more than 650 persons had been stricken with polio in Wayne county (Detroit), half of them paralytic and more cases were being reported each day, the chapter chair man revealed. "We have been fortunate in our county this year in that the polio rate has been light," Gastineau said. "However, with many of our children and young adults unvacci nated, we are probably as sus ceptible to an outbreak as Detroit." The Wayne county chapter of the National Foundation is now spending almost $50,000 per week on car of the vic tims of the epidemic, and the chapter estimates that it will need more than $1,000,000 for aid to patients by the end of the year. WCA Agents, ALAA Reach Agreement Chicago-A contract renew al agreement between station employees of West Coast Air lines and the .'ir Lines Agents Association has been reached here, it has been announced The agreement, retroactive to Aug. 1, 1958, provides for increased sick leave, improv ed bidding procedures and top rates of pay in the local service airline industry, along with other changes in rules and working conditions. The new rates of pay pro vide for increases of $30 to $55 per month. The $400 top rate for station agents repre sents an increase of more than 13 per Cent, the asso ciation said.

A company may not pay a divi dend or interest, may not make a profit. So you drop in at & nearby Member Firmt where you'll be most welcome. You may say to a Registered Rep resentative or a Partner some thing like this: "I'm not rich. But I have money left over after paying my bills. And my emer gencies are cared for.

Before anyone can become a Registered Representative with a Member Firm of the New York Stock Exchange he must meet Exchange requirements for character, knowledge and ex perience. He may advise bonds instead of stocks. He may give you (ask him for it) a copy of "DIVIDENDS OVER THE YEARS, with the records of more than 300 stocks that have paid a cash dividend every year from 25 to 109 years. He can help you work out a sensible investment pro gram for your needs and pocket- book. And from time to time ask him to review your securities With you. Third. You've decided to buy, let's say, some common stock on the New York Stock Exchange. This will make you part-owner of a company. If it prospers, that can be mighty pleasant, because you can share in any profits and probably .in any' growth. The Member Firm sends your order promptly to its representative on the floor of the Exchange. This is the great market place where or ders to buy or sell securities come together from investors all over the country. The stocks and bonds of most of the fa mous corporations of America, are listed there. Fourth. On the floor of the Ex change, your Member Firm's man finds a seller, often within minutes after you've placed your order. And whisk! the order is executed. The only charge for this experienced service is a modest commission that varies with the amount of your order. That night at the dinner table you say quietly to the little woman, "Darling, I'm part oWner of A big American busi ness." If she doesn't glow with gratitude, wait for the arrival of your first dividend check. Then look out for the lipstick. If you're impatient to get more information (and why not be?) send this coupon now and we'll mail you your free copy of the immensely helpful booklet that gives the records of all those Stocks.
