Rank Restored
Washlngton-MPD - President
Kennedy has signed a bill re
storing former President
Dwlght D. Eisenhower to his
five-star general rank and
told the old soldier the leg
islation reaffirmed America's
"affection and regard" for
him.
In a letter mailed to Eisen
hower at Indio, Calif., the
President said he was pleased
to sign the bill putting Eisen
bower back on the regular.
Army's active list in the rank
he gave up to run for the
White House in 1952.
Kennedy told the former
president he had ordered that
a new Army commission be
prepared immediately for Ei
senhower. The bill passed by
Congress left it up to the
President to reappoint Eisen
hower to the Army s active
list.
This does not mean that
Eisenhower will return to
duty. Five-star officers arc
carried on the active list,
whether on duty or not.

Youngsters Rush
For Auto Permits
Salem" - (UPI) - A proposal to
raise the driving age in Ore
gon has sent a rash of young
sters scooting to the Motor
Vehicles Department to slip
under the age wire, Director
Vern L. Hill said today.
Many of the applicants have
been ' ill-prepared," Hill said.
Actually, the legislature has
taken no action on a bill to
raise the minimum age from
16 to IS.
A second hearing on the
measure has been set for this
afternoon.
The proposal, however, has
mustered a surprising amount
of support, and an amended
version to license younger
drivers if they passed a driv
ing course picked up added
bncking.
Hill said normally 28 per
cent of driver's license appli
cants fail the driving demon
stration on the first try.
During one day of recent
spring vacation week, how
ever, a rush by badly-prepared
16 to 18 year olds pushed the
failure percentage up to 58
per cent.

Air Force Pact
Lacked Approval
Testimony Shows
Washington-fflPD - Congres
sional testimony disclosed to
day that the Air Force, with
out prior approval from Con
gress, signed a $12 million
pontract for six passenger jets
to transport government lead
ers. The C140s, short-hop jets,
are being manufactured at the
Lockheed plant In Marietta,
Ga. They will replace propeller-driven
C131s at the
special air mission in Wash
ington used for government
flights.
The testimony was made
public by a House appropria
tions subcommittee which
questioned Air Force officials
intensively about the contract
at recent hearings behind
closed doors.
Wants Investigation
One subcommittee mem
ber, Rep. Jamie L. Whittcn
(D-Miss.) demanded an inves
tigation "in connection with
the wrongdoings" related to
the Lockheed procurement
situation and with Air Force
personnel involved.
During the hearings, Rep.
Daniel J. Flood (D-Pa.) asked
the Air Force what it would
cost the government to cancel
the contract.
Maj. Gen. Robert J. Friend
man, Air Force budget direct
or, said at the end of Febr
uary Lockheed had received
about $600,000 in progress
payments and that concella
tion costs would amount to
something less depending on
whether the company could
find another customer.
Rep. Gerald R. Ford Jr
(R-Mich.) called the purchase
of the jets "a gross example
of absolute disregard of com
mittee procedure."
Inquiry Pushed
Other congressional news:
Information: House Investi
gators pushed their inquiry
into the foreign aid program
despite an order by Secretary
of State Dean Rusk forbidding
his aides from testifying on
past, present or future scand
als. Rusk's order was directed
at 12 officials summonded as
witnesses before a House gov
ernment operations subcom
mittee probing charges of mis
conduct against foreign aid
personnel.
Farm: President Kennedy
signed into law his emergency
farm bill just two hours'aftcr
it cleared Congress. The
tion brought this year's spring
crops under its provisions
designed to trim feed grain
surpluses and bolster farm in
come. Eisenhower: Kennedy also
signed into law the bill re
storing five-slar general's rank
to former President Dwighl
D. Eisenhower. The President
wrote Eisenhower that the
legislation constitutes a reaf
firmation of the affection and
regard of our nation for you."

London - (UPI) - Two British
scientists, who arc studying
the possibility of life else
where in the universe, said to
day they have kept bacteria
alive under conditions some
what resembling those on the
planet Mars.
One of the scientists, as
tronomer Patrick Moore, said
that as a result of the experi
ment he was now reasonably
satisfied that there are actu
ally bacterial organisms on
Mars.
Able to Multiply
"They even seem to be able
to multiply in an atmosphere
such as they might encounter
on Mars," Moore said. "But it
would be space fiction to
speculate on the size, shape
or function of any microbes
wnich might be there."
The re-creation of conditions
on Mars-as far as science can
determine what it is like on
the red planet-was under
taken by Dr. Francis Jackson,
research microbiologist of
Kings College Hospital here.
Jackson filled containers
with a mixture of nitrogen,
carbon dioxide, argon and a
tiny amount of oxygen and
placed in them bacteria, plants
and microscopic animals. The
containers were then sealed.
They were warmed to 70 de
grees Fahrenheit by day and
cooled to below minus 100 de
grees by night. These are the
presumed Martian tempera
tures. "As we expected," said
Moore, "none of the normal
types of organisms survived.
For example, cacti and micro
scopic plants and animals
died. We are now continuing
the tests with lichen and al
gae." Moore and Jackson are col
laborating on a book entitled
"Life in the Universe." It will
incorporate much material
gathered by Moore from So
viet sources during a recent
lecture tour in Russia.
Russian Scientists Agree
"Most Russian . scientists
agree, with us that there are
some living organisms on
Mars, probably even primitive
life," Moore said. "But there
are a few top Russian scion
