Protestant Segment Sharply Split on Catholic President Washington (UPD The cler gymen of one major Protest ant denomination are sharply divided in their attitudes to ward a Catholic presidential candidate, a poll disclosed to day. The denomination is the United Presbyterian church in the U.S.A. which has about 3,100,000 members, mostly in northern and western Amer ica. " Strong Interest Indicated The views of its clergy were solicited by a magazine named "Monday Morning" which is published by the de nomination and distributed free to all of its members. Of the 10,947 ministers on the mailing lists, 1,047 or about 10 per cent, filled out and returned a questionnaire Acid Hurled Info Oregonian Store Portland -(UPD- A fruit jar containing some type of acid was hurled into the drug store at the corner of the Oregonian building late Tuesday just be fore closing time, employees reported. Two sales people said the jar broke on the tile floor at the top of steps leading up from the entrance. The acid spread over about 20 square feet of floor. Veva Whorton, sales wom an, and Henry Ogan, who has the lunch counter, said they did not see the jar thrown. The type of acid was not im mediately determined. They said the tile flooring was damaged. I which appeared in the Nov, 16 edition. Since the question naire had to be clipped out, pasted to a postcard and mailed, a voluntary response of 10 per cent indicated a fair ly strong interest. Threo Statements The questionnaire consisted of three statements supposed to cover the range of possible Protestant attitude toward a Catholic presidential candi date. Clergymen were asked to check whether they agreed, disagreed or were undecided about each statement. The most "liberal" position was reflected by the state ment: "The religious affilia tion of a presidential candi date is irrelevant." Only 57 of the clergymen agreed with this, while 875 positively disagreed. Seven teen were undecided and the rest didn't respond to the statement. High Response The opposite extreme of view was represented by the statement: "A Protestant min ister might support a Roman Catholic candidate if the can didate gave assurance he would uphold the principle and practice of separation of church and state." Agreement was expressed by 469 ministers, and dis agreement by 445. Seventy seven said they were unde cided. The only avowed Catholic presidential aspirant, Sen. John F. Kennedy (D-Mass.) is on record with assurances that he would uphold church state separation. Neither Ken nedy nor any other possible candidate was mentioned by name in the poll, however. NEW FATHER Jacques Charrier (center), husband to famed actress Brigitte Bardot, receives congratulations in the corner bistro (bar) after emerging from the nearby Paris house where his wife, Brigitte, has just given birth to a seven-pound, four ounce boy.

Washington-tfJPD - The gov ernment today ordered an ear ly start on ultra-powerful up per stages for the Saturn rocket designed for missions to the moon and planets. The upper stages will be powered by liquid hydrogen and liquid oxygen, the most efficient rocket fuel yet de veloped. The Saturn, being built by the Army Ballistic Missile Agency at Huntsville, Ala. is an eight-engine booster capable of generating 1,500, 000 pounds of thrust. Carries Giant Payloads With two upper stages, it will tower 150 feet and will be able to carry giant pay loads to the moon or to Mars and Venus. Even more ef ficient later models are in the works. - Ground tests for the booster are scheduled for early this spring at Huntsville. The first flight test, with dummy up per stages, is scheduled for 1961-62. The first full-fledged space mission probably will be undertaken in 1964-65. The first Saturn version is expected to be able to put 15 tons in a 300-migh-high orbit. This is roughly 10 times as heavy a payload as Sputnik III, Russia's biggest satellite. Later Saturn versions are expected to put more than 100 tons in orbit, and to launch up to four tons on missions to Mars and Venus. The Saturn ultimately, it has been said officially, should be able to send "several men on a trip around the moon, and even placing them in a satel lite orbit about the moon, be fore returning them to earth."
