CMIiTkUS SEALS light Tin. Itkir SESPIRATORT DISEASES 13 shoppikbCj, 5vi DM LEFT JJ Kennedy Finishes Tour of Nuclear, Space Operations Conclusions Are Not Announced Palm Springs, Calif. -0JPP-President Kennedy completed his speedy tour of nuclear and space installations Saturday better prepared, according to his associates, to decide whether to speed up the gov ernment's atomic propulsion program. Kennedy arrived here at noon (PST) for an overnight rest at the desert home of singer Bing Crosby before re turning to Washington early Monday to face a heavy sched ule of visitors and final bud get decisions. The chief executive started early Saturday morning at Ro man Catholic mass In the sun lit chapel on Kirtland Air Force base outside Albuquer que, N.M. He then flew to the nuclear rocket development station on the Nevada test grounds near the Indian Springs AFB. Sees Reactor There he saw a "Kiwi" re actor still "hot" radioactively from a recent test firing be ing dismantled behind a shield of glass and liquid six feet thick. It was at the nuclear rock et station that Kennedy dis cussed with some of the gov ernment's top scientists the probability of the first U.S. manned landing on Mars. Such a trip will require a re finement of the current proj ect Rover which is dedicated to building the nuclear pro pulsion units for pushing man deep into space. According to Kennedy asso ciates, one of his primary pur poses on this trip was to study fiscal 1964 budgetary needs against the Rover potential. May Step Up Funds The President, with the best advisers he could summon, ex amined the possibility of step ping up federal funds for proj ect Rover. The question before the ad ministration was whether Rover has reached the point where extra funds might cut appreciable time off the Amer ican effort to put a man on the moon, and later on Mars. What the President and his advisers decided apparently must await further discussion in Washington. But his aides Said he con sidered the trip which began yesterday at Strategic Air Command headquarters at Omaha, Neb., was very worth while. Kennedy and a few mem bers of his personal staff plan ned little more rest and swim ming In a heated pool at the Crosby house last night and today. The President planned to take-off for Washington about midnight tonight. Hoffa Wins Local Presidency Easily Detroit (UPD It was no sur prise but Teamsters Union President James R.
