ProsMnnt Kennedy said at his news conference Wednes day night the United States has made "exceptional gains In space technology" which he said should "give all Amer icans satisfaction in the ef forts we have made." Behind in Booster! i "Boosters, however, we are behind in," he said. "It is a matter of great concern. The Soviet Union made a signifi cant breakthrough in this area some years ago, and they have continued to make their lead." Kennedy said this break through "explains why they were ahead of us in Sputniks and it explains why they have been able to put larger ob jects in space." He said they would continue to do so "un less we are able to make a breakthrough before the Sat urn booster comes into opera tion." The President said this coun try has "sufficiently large boosters to protect us mili tarily, but for the long heavy explorations into space, which requires large boosters, the Soviet Union has been ahead, and it is going to be a major task to surpass them." Missionary Talks Of African Areas Ten years ago only four areas of Africa were self-governed. Today there are 24, embracing 75 per cent of the vast continent, the Rev. Ira E. Glllct pointed out in an address Tuesday before the Medford Rotary club. " Speaking at the Rogue Val ley Country club, the Oregon Methodist conference mission- : ary to Africa described the surprising similarity between - Africa and the U.S. since that ' continent and North America were colonized by the white race. Kxploitatlon of the labor of colored races was cited. The English won the Boer War but lost the peace in Africa, Mr. Gillet emphasized, through the policy of extreme segregation.' The "lid will probably blow off Mozam bique," the speaker warned. The country has 7 million na tives controlled by approxi mately 7,000 Portuguese. Mr. Gillet has spent more than 30 years on the mission field in Africa and has long been a student of that continent.
