BANK Of PORTLAND JFK Made 220 Specific Statements Of Policy By CONGRESSIONAL QUARTERLY Washington - (CQ) - During the election campaign, President-elect John F. Kennedy made 220 specific statements of policy which he implicitly or explicitly promised to carry out if elected. From his acceptance speech July 15,- 1960 to the eve of his election, Nov. 7, the tran scripts of all of his speeches and of the prepared texts were analyzed by Congres sional Quarterly. Also includ ed were press conferences, TV debates and - public- letters which occurred during the campaign. In every field from national security to civil rights, Ken nedy made specific promises. Each of the 220 commitments is recorded by CQ in his own words. Priorities CQ found that the President-elect made seven items matters of "priority." They are: 1.

MYLER Washington - (UPI) - In space research, scientists and engi neers sometimes learn more from failure than from suc cess. A while back at Cape Ca naveral, Fla., a usually de pendable launching rocket failed to get off the ground. Investigation disclosed an unsuspected flaw that had caused no trouble in the past. It was easily removed. But if it hadn't been discovered, it might have jeopardized lives later on. It is true that the launching attempt failed. But it con tributed a bit of knowledge essential to future successes. The incident was typical. Research and develop m e n t, whether in space of anything else, never proceeds smoothly on a constantly rising curve. Dr. T. Keith Glennan re tiring director of the National Aeronautics and Space Ad ministration (NASA), discuss ed this aspect of space experi mentation in a recent state ment to the National Associ ation of Science writers. Speaking of NASA launchings he said: "These truly were experi ments and as such carried a substantial inherent prob ability of failing to accomplish the full measure of hoped for results . . . Many Experiment! '"Scientists and engineers have done so much and done most of this so well in recent years that the public generally has come to believe that they can bring into reality almost anything and also are capable of performing their miracles repeatedly with security and ease . , U.S. NATIONAL NOW PAYS THE POSTAGE BOTH WAYS ...and provides Bank-By-Mail Kits I This banking convenience may be used for both checking and savings accounts.

"During your primary I pledged that within 60 days of my election I would send to This just isn t the way things are done . . . the typical road to achievement of a scientific or technological suc cess is dotted with the records of many experiments that did not succeed or were only partial successes." Most members of the public, when a launching rocket blows up or a satellite fails to go into orbit, "are inclined to view with undue concern and alarm what we regard as normal experimental proce dures and results," Glennan said. "Only through the elimi nation of the causes of trouble through experimentation,'! he said, "is it possible to achieve ultimate success. "The nation's space research and exploration program un der NASA is no exception to the rules of scientific prog ress.
