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.
TECHNICALLY, the only thing Mrs. Hart, Miss

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.

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

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

the Democrats so far to the
left that there is never a can

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

Moreell is chairman and for

Lottery Vs. Medicine
To the Editor: Slate lottery
vs. socialized medicine?
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.
