MEDFOBD MAIL TRIBUNE, MEDFORD. OREGON WEDNE8DAY. APRIL 24. 1M3 In the Day's News By FRANK JENKINS A i From Washington: Colonel John H. Glunn Jr., the first American to orbit the earth, said the other night he is absolutely convinced the United States will put a man on the moon. It will be a worth-while job of explora tion, he said, even though the specific benefits to be ob tained from the trip can not be pinpointed at present. And- He added- He doesn't think the job of finding out what things are like on the moon can be done by instruments. If we are go ing to find out what we want to know about the moon we are going to have to LAND A MAN there. When man's curiosity about some problem that has been baffling mankind for so long that SOMETHING HAS TO BE DONE ABOUT IT, some man of the type of Colonel Glenn has been found to do the job. IN CONCLUSION: There IS such a prob lem. It is the PROBLEM OF POVERTY. COLONEL GLENN'S state- ment was made on Sun day night on NBC's prize-winning, always interesting TV program Meet the Press. In his session with the question ing reporters, he was charm ing, as he always is. If you watched and listened all the way through, you probably fell in love with him all over again. He is that kind of person. One can't listen to him with out liking and respecting him. He is a Great American-and no one can fail to be proud that he is an American. If, in the years to come, we have enough Americans of the type of Colonel Glenn, we won't need to worry too much about the future of our country. IHY does one man have ' " more than he needs when j millions of other men are un j able to obtain as much as they j need'.' That problem is as old as i mankind. It must be capable j of solution. But. so far, it has never oeen soivea. Why not? THIS thought occurs: Too often, throughout the centuries, the solution of tile problem of poverty has been approached by imprac tical dreamcrs-or, worse, by DEMAGOGUES. Colonel Glenn is neither an impractical dreamer nor a demagogue. He is a capable DOER, skilled and competent. If the problem of poverty is ever solved, it will be by that kind of men. STILL Liking and admiring Colonel Glenn This small-time scribe can't help agreeing with Dr. Arnold Toynbee, who said in an ad dress at Stanford University the other day: "This international race to the moon is only a kind of es capism. Having made a mess of things on earth, man is now looking toward the moon. It won't solve the world's polit ical or social ills." He then added: "Personally, I think the moon can wait." ET'S put it this way: Man's curiosity is in satiable. Man's curiosity has AL WAYS been insatiable.

The Jefferson county sher iff's office said the boy had been beaten. holocaust is to be averted The price tag for complete disarming seems too high and human nature must change a lot if it is to be realized, Bos worth said. Let us hope that time does not run out before a nuclear test ban is effected. It will be necessary to halt production of nuclear weap ons, inventory those existing and neutralize them before a ban can be really in force and disarmament becomes a fact. A stronger United Nations, with an effective international police force with the power to enforce peace was urged by Bosworth as the only appar ent practical step toward world peace. He vigorously advocated the creation of a new international language as a means of reaching better understanding between peo ple and nations. Today a single U.S. nuclear Polaris-missile submarine has more destructive power than all the explosives of World War II, Bosworth told Ro tarians.
