JULY II. 1962 Women Astronauts Space, in the words of President Kennedy, is "the new ocean," and the women want to get their feet wet. They want to be astronauts. Seriously. And, inasmuch as our law-givers are ever gallant and occasionally willing to forsake their natural desire to avoid the limelight, the women are be ing taken seriously. The story goes back to last summer, when 12 women were certified by the Lovelace Founda tion, Albuquerque, N.M., as qualified to be astro nauts. They had undergone the same- exacting physical and psychological tests given to the Project Mercury spacemen. THEN in March Mrs. Philip A. Hart, 41, wife of the senator from Michigan and a licensed helicopter and airplane pilot, wrote letters to members of the Senate and House science com mittees urging that women be included in the U.S. space program. And on March 15, Mrs. Hart and Jerrie Cobb, a woman pilot from Oklahoma who holds the world's altitude and speed records for women, called on Vice President Lyndon B. Johnson, chairman of the National Aeronautics and Space Council. They told Johnson that the United States would lose another space first to Russia if this country did not start training a woman for space flight soon. Russia will put a woman in orbit by September, they said. Johnson, not unskilled at avoiding commitments, said he had no author ity to make a decision of this sort. Tactfully, he suggested that they talk to people at the National Aeronautics and Space Administration.

The committee presumably will call Dr. Ran dolph W. Lovelace II, who says of the potential woman space pilot: "She weighs much less (than a man), consumes less oxygen, needs less food, and has proven herself to be better capable of standing psychological strains in certain stress situations." By and large, she is better looking, too. "NE woman who has emphatically refrained from volunteering fo- outer space is Mrs. Llewellyn E. Thompson .!:., wife of the former ambassador to Russia. Major Yuri Gagarin, the Soviet Union's first cosmonaut, asked Mrs. Thompson at the Kremlin's New Year's party: "Wouldn't you like to fly into space?" "No," replied Mrs. Thompson. "I do not have a license to drive that kind of thing." She evi dently doesn't intend to apply for one, either. E.R.R. Africa's Newest States Rtiandi-Urundi might be a wellspring of high comedy were it not such a probahle source of tragedy. This tiny trust territory is about half the size of New York State, twice the size of Maryland, slightly smaller than West Virginia. By a to 0 vote of the United Nations General Assembly the Soviet bloc abstaining it was split into Africa's two newest and weakest and most po tentially chaotic states. The new states are named the Republic of Rwanda and the Kingdom of Burundi, the spel ling reverting to the African forms of their names. Both are poor lands. Their 5 million native try to eke out a living by producing coffee, cotton, "and some minerals, but there never is enough to go around. IjyUCH of the pre-independence debate in the ; ' U.N. was over whether the 900 Belgian par atroopers the only possible source of security might remain in the two states. As a compromise the General Assembly voted, June 27, to let them stay until Aug. 1, or longer if requested by the new governments. Even if tribal warfare is avoided, and that would be unlikelv at least in Rwanda, adminis trators and technicians will be needed.

E.R.R. New York Conservative Party Desiqned to Prevent Reelection a By LYLE C.

That, of course, Is of less Interest on this side of the mountains than on the Klamath side. But in itself it is an interesting story. AS EXPLAINED by Ken McLeod. who has had a lot to do with the research in volved. It might come about like this: By re-establishing the bio logical balance !the balance of nature) that was disturbed when the algae got out of con trol In the first place. That happened In this way: IN UPPER Klamath lake, the algae (algae are simple plants that grow in ponds, riv ers, oceans and even In the soil) found a water environ ment thai was ideal. The wa- tcr of the lake was enriched i be told in a laler installment, with nitrogen and phosphates -coming from the rich soil , through which the lake's trib utary streams flow. The result was an algae population explosion The al gae multiplied fantastically, converging this once clear and lovely lake into what has seemed lo be threatening to become a mush of green wa ter plants. It was a tragedy. tl'IIAT to do about i" Most of the invrsticalors who looked the problem over favored the poison idea - -which was natural because hiolocical control of aUac had not been observed in other parts of the country. So poisoning the altar was tried, as one poisons chick weed and other weeds in a lawn It reduced the- alcac population somewhat, but not enough to clear up Ihf waters of the lake. Besides, it soon became obvious that poison ing would be prohthitn r!y expensive For quite a wMlr. the prob lem of ale te control remained dormant but IV aU-u-DIDN'T T'lev ke;t on multi piying Tie lake bee.ime tn- creasmclv messy bcga.i til look like Klanvitb lake niii'it ne er actin be a clear and sparkling lake THI N - One of t!'e scien-at the l'nieri'y of C ralVd atieniion 1 a rma per written pv scient's- m ,I.ran who were tnierMted n GROWING algse--for 'e--i-lirer ir r.-e psd.-i-.es .lin--n is cMTonualiv h--rt of ieri'.li- and cut t af!o :' in suffvtrnt -,1 to ::tv .I "at !- ".a'.-.-:! p rrr MEDFORD MAIL 5 sphW- New York on the Democrats. The Liberal Party can poll about 300,000 votes in New York State. With that much political muscle, the smart op erators of the Liberal Party can, and usually do. compel the Democrats to make a deal. Pressura Democrats The deal usually is for the Democrats to put up lefty can didates on lefty programs, or else. If the Democrats agree, the Liberals endorse the Dem ocratic candidates. If the Dem ocrats balk, the Liberals put tip candidates of their own. That is a nobly effective po litical ploy. The new-born Conservative Party in New York stale wants to work the same magic on the Republi cans, These Conservatives con tend that the Republican Par ty in New York has followed the Democrats so far to the left that there is never a can didate for whom conservatives The Japanese tried growing algae. They found they could grow it in large quantities. But Just as they got going good-they wore stymied by the fact that their algae cul tures were often destroyed by swarms of water fleas, or daphnia. Because of the regularity with which the daphnia de stroyed the algae, the Japa nese more or less abandoned their algae fertilizer project But out of it came the idea of biological control of algae in Klamath lake, the Klamath river and lakes in northern California whose scenic beau ty and recreational possibili ties are being severely damag ed by the algae explosion. frills piece is getting rather long for this column, which tries lo be brief.

They be lieve Moscow either will de mand that the W e st set a date for a Newiom peace t r e aty with East Germany or set a date itself for signing a sepa rate treaty with the Commu nist East Germans. It has been learned that the matter already has been discussed by Chancellor Konrad Adenauer and his ministers at a cabinet meeting. The feeling is echoed in can vote happily. They have chosen Javits as the guinea pig In an experiment to prove that thousands of New York ers would vote conservative if they had a chance to do so: The size of the conservative vote in November will dem onstrate whether there is, in truth, a large conservative clement in the voting popula tion of New York State. This new Conservative Par ty can come of age in New York either by defeating Jav its or merely by polling 200, 000 votes or so in an effort to defeat him. That would put the brakes on the New York Republican tendency to pursue the Democrats toward the latter's New Deal, Fair Deal, New Frontier moorings. Headed by Pell The conservatives have named Robert T. Pell of Ti conderoga, N. Y., to oppose Javits in November. Pell calls Javits a "Mr. A D. A." Those are the initials of Americans for Democratic Action, a left-of-center political power house sparked by the mem ory of FDR. Pell says Javits is a mere carbon copy of the surviving New Dealers in the U. S. Senate. Pell can find some inter esting statistics in the Con gressional index published by Americans for Constitutional Action, of which Adm. Ben Moreell is chairman and for mer President Herbert Hoover a trustee. ACA is non-parti-son but definitely conserva tive. The index is an evalua tion of Congressional voting records from the conservative point of view. ACA complies a consistency index, for exam ple, based on votes deemed to safeguard individual dignity, and strengthen constitutional government and against what is deemed to favor collective morality and a socialized econ omy. By those ACA standards. Sen. John G. Tower (R-Tex) rates highest, 100 per cent. Ja vits was next to last among Senate Republicans with 27 per cent. The Republican an chor man was Sen.

Oh come, now, Mr. Howard Brown, is this really why you wrote your letter? Is this the real issue with yon? I doubt it. I doubt it because of the fact that you devoted only three paragraphs to the sub ject, while the rest you spent name calling and getting something else off your chest; the fact that an unemployed worker can draw subsistance and this, I take it, hurts you very deeply. "Work a little and lazy for 20 weeks" you said. And you say that these people have stooped to a worse outlook in life, and that they spend their time "either drinking beer at their favorite tavern or hunting .v fishing in season, with one slogan in mind: for today we live, tomorrow may never come," My, my; such an illustri ous picture you do paint of the tragic unemployed. Well, at least you did not quote scripture at your fel lowman, although it would not have surprised me one little bit if you had. In fact, I thought for sure that it was coming when in one para graph you call yourself a sin cere thinker while in the next you sling mud at what you call a "minority group." This is what sincere thinkers do these days? No, Mr. Brown, this is what fanatics do. And this is what bigots do and I rather im agine thai the boys who dreamed up this socialized medicine thing which you find repugnant would gladly count you in as one of their helpers. It is envy and fear and jealousy that makes a country ripe for so cialization not only people out of work. It is old fashion thinking and prejudice and people who believe that all men "should be just like me." I take it you don't like log gers Mr. Brown, or truck drivers or ditchdiggers or house painters or mill hands, or anybody else that isn't just like you. I take it you never learned that one never strengthens oneself by cutting someone else to pieces. And no, I don't care for this socialized medicine bit any more than you do, but at least its an attempt to bring people together, and to strengthen. Maybe not a good attempt but at least its a try. And in the end, wrong as it may be, it will probably do a lot more good than name calling, or nursing a private hate behind a politi cal opinion. Charles Hall 4l5'2 Edwards St., Medford. Renewness of Faith To the Editor: We're living In a year of mental confusion and fear.

Last time I tried to get in there myself. I saw coming from the office a person who look ed like he had a brand new motor running in his power house.

The Supreme Court To the Editor: In the dis cussion pro and con of the school prayer decision, the salient idea concerned, name ly the unconstitutionality of the decision, has been conspic uously avoided. The constitu tion nf the United Stales gives the Federal government abso lutely no rights or duties as regards education. Since the Constitution Is still our governing charter, it seems that the Supreme Court, in rendering this de cision which in no wise con cerned the Federal govern ment or the country at large hut only the state of New York, acted presumptuously and arrogantly.

This de cision clearly violates the sec ond chance of this statement. Also the decision has the ef fect of law. Therefore tha court has arrogated to itself, in this decision, a power and a privilege which by consti tutional right belongs only to Congress. The plain fact is that tha Federal government has no constitutional right whatever, to in any way concern itself with education. The undesir able result of this decision precedent whereby in the fu ture It coul dbe used to assert still more stringent control over some phase of education. Is it out of place to ask: Is our Supreme Court pro-Communist? Senator James O. Eastland on May 2, 1962, in a speech to the U. S. Senate gave some pertinent informa tion about the court. He gave a summary of the history of the court since the time of Pres. Roosevelt. Next, he re viewed the decisions of each one of the present justices In cases involving Communism. Justice Black had participated in 102 such cases. He had fa vored the Communist position 102 times. Justice Douglas had 100 cases and agreed with the Communists 97 times; Chief Justice Warren 65 cases, agreed in 62; Justice Brennan 51 cases, agreed 40 times; Jus tice Frankfurter 143 cases and 69 agreements; Justice Clark 82 cases and 21 agreements: Justice Harlan 65 cases and 30 agreements; Justice Whittak er 42 cases and 12 agreements; Justice Stewart 20 cases and 6 agreements.
