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.

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

Russia long past the point
