every thing
that is flung
into the fir
mament. It is
only natural,
therefore,
that they
should take
an interest in
Pregnant
astronauts.
The maternal aspects of
space travel came up for dis
cussion at a subcommittee
hearing on the role, if env,
that women should have in
exploring the wild blue
J'onder.
One witness, Jacqueline
Cochran, expressed the view
that a training program for
female astronauts would be
handicapped by extra curri
cular complications, such as
motherhood.
But another witness, Mrs.
Janey B. Hart, expressed
the view thai child-bearing
proclivities wouldn't be a
drawback at all.
Miss Cochran, in private
life the wife of industrialist
Floyd Odium, spoke with au
thority as the world's best
known woman flier and the
holder of more records than
any livinr; pilot of either sex.
Mrs. Hart likewise spoke
with authority. She. too, is an
aviatrix. Furthermore, she is
the wife of Sen. Philip A.
Hart, which presumably
makes her a senatorix.
And. in addition to all of
that, she has eight children.
If I were a member of the
committee. I would have
trouble choosing between the
Immediate lady-in-space pro
gram advocated by Mrs. Hart
and the cautious approach
recommended by Miss
Cochran.
As Mrs. Hart pointed out,
the fact that they have babies
occasionally needn't prevent
women from having a career
as well.
Bui. as noted by Miss
Cochran, training an astro
naut is an expensive propo
sition. The money would be
wasted if the trainee went
to the delivery room in
stead of the launching pad.
All things considered, I'm
Inclined to favor Miss Coch
ran's suggestion that women
be trained as spaceship crew
members, rather than
pilots.
Portland Showing
01 'Lovers' Not
Violation of Law
Salem-lUPIl-The Oregon Su
preme court has ruled 4-3
that a Portland showing of the
film "The Lovers" did not
violate the 1961 state obscen
ity law.
At the same time, the court
declined to consider constitu
tionality of the law.
The movie was first shown
at the Guild Theater, and later
at the Paramount Theater.
The case was the second
brought by the state. The
state lost the first case also.
The majority opinion, :
written by Justice Kenneth
O'Conncll. ruled in favor of
the defendants, Merle M. 1
Meshcr, Ronald K. Mesher,
John Doe, Richard Roe and
Jane Doe.
Multnomah County Circuit
Judge Charles W. Redding
was affirmed, and the state's
case dismissed.
Movies Not Included
The 1961 law says that a
person disseminates obscene
matter if he "sells, delivers or
provides" it. But the court
said this language cannot be
construed to include motion
pictures.
Dissenting were Justices
George Rossman. William
Perry and Gordon Sloan.
The high court, in a decis
lion written by Justice Hall
S. Lusk, reversed a $10,797
judgment for Elizabeth Krax
berger in a car accident case
and sent it back to Clackamas
county.
In reversing Clackamas
County Circuit Judge Howard
K. Blinding, the court said
there was an error in instruc
tions to the jury. The judg
ment had been made againts
Joseph F. Rogers, who appealed.
This would cast them
their traditional role as back
seat drivers.
Look out! You almost hit
'that asteroid!
! On the other hand, the en
tire issue probably was
summed up best in the testi
mony of Miss Kerrie Cobb, a
professional pilot who under
went a series of space flight
tests at the Pensacola Naval
Base last year.
Miss Cobb recalled that
Navy doctors who were run
ning the tests wired to head
quarters for permission to
use some equipment that
would show how female as
tronauts differed from male
astronauts.
Back from Washington
came the reply "If you don't
already know the difference,
we refuse to put any money
in the project."

HAPPY AT OUTCOME GOP Senate leader Everett M.
Dirksen of Illinois, left, and Sen. Robert Kerr. (D-Okla),
opposition leaders to the Administration's medical health
care plan, appear happy at the outcome of the Senate vote.
The Senate voted 52 to 48 Tuesday to table the measure
which scuttled last hopes for the legislation this year. (UP1)
