cause she is a woman, but
because she la a fine astro
naut or engineer or scientist.
She will have qualified for
space flight in competition
with other professionals, male
or female.
At least that la the for.
vent hope of the space agen
cy officials who operate far
removed from the pressures
of politic! and publicity.
The time when women will
be in demand for long space
voyages, because of their ex
clusive biological qualifica
tions, is far in the future.
Planning experts say it ii
safe bet that women will soar
into space long before they
venture into the void as pro
spective mothers of genera
tions born en route to explore
and perhaps colonize distant
planets.
In the meantime, the Na
tional Aeronautics and Space
Administration Is recruiting

They all happen to be
males because In American
society only men are trained
for such roles. But this will
not always be the case.
Importance Will Black
The sex of astronauts will
not always be so important In
the future as they are in this
decade. But up through the
Apollo landings on the moon,
space flight calls for a lot of
muscular endurance. It Is
fact that men are stronger
than women. But as space
craft become roomier and
physical endurance less In
portant, women will become
more competitive in space,
In psychomotor tests, in
which sheer endurance is not
paramount, the two sexes are
on a par, as they are in in-tellect.
A considerable amount of
nonsense has been written
about "women's role in
space." One Air Force expert
wrote that any woman astro
naut would have to be ex
ceedingly flat-chested to wear
the tight Mercury space suits.
He was not giving tailors the
credit due them.
Women have made sweep
ing statements on the sub
ject, too. One solemnly told
Congress that women would
make better astronauts than
men because they eat less, use
less oxygen, stand pain and
loneliness better, react quick
er In an emergency, are less
prone to heart attacks, and
more resistant to radiation.
It Is true that a normal
woman consumes slightly less
oxygen that a normal man
of the same weight, but the
difference is so slight that It
could have no effect on a
space mission.
Much is made of woman's
ability to stand the suffering
of childbirth. But space flight
Is not child birth, and many
men have been known to per
form prodigies under suffer
Ing at least comparable to
childbirth. . .
In any case, specialists say,
tolerance of pain is highly In
dividual, regardless of sex. It
also is true that women have
a statistical edge on men when
it comes to heart disease, but
that is of little significance In
the age group of astronauts.
None of the other claims
to feminine superiority are
proven, scientists say.
The consensus is that when
the first American women go
into space, It will not be be
cause of their sex, but because
of their qualifications.
, Some women nave one
strike against them. They are
the women who suffer pain
or loss of efficiency during

their menstrual cycles. But
many women do not.
' According to Dr. Joseph
Connor of NASA t aerospace
medicine section, "the real
place for women" as such
will be on the 100-year-long
flights In the distant future
when human beings begin ex
ploration of the far reaches
of the solar system. On such
voyages, Connor said, It
would be the "second genera
tion of space travelers that
would conduct the observa
tion and return with the
data."

London - UPC - Labor party
leader Harold Wilson today
opened an unprecedented
parliamentary debate on Brit
ain's sex and security scandal
with a statement that evi
dence of a "sordid under
world network" had shocked
the nation's moral conscience.
Prime Minister Harold Mac
millan, fighting for his polit
ical life, was cheered by the
Conservative members as he
entered the chamber, but the
ovation appeared to be less
enthusiastic than usual.
Expected To Win
Macmlllan is expected to
win a vote of confidence after
the confessions and resigna
tion of War Minister John
Profumo, but it appeared
likely he would quit after the
furor caused by the scandal
dies down.
Virtually all political ob
servers and newspapers
agreed the Conservative party
leader had sufficient support
for a House of Commons vote
of confidence that would save
his government from collapse.
The 69-year-old "Unflappa
ble Mac" himself was report
ed confident of victory on
what the Daily Herald called
the day of reckoning."
Macmillan's political career
was at stake as well as the
tone of the Atlantic alliance.
To a large extent the outcome
rested on Macmillan's speech
declaring he acted with the
utmost honor and Integrity In
the affair.
The Labortes said they
would concentrate on the se
curity consideration rather
than the moral aspects of the
scandal. -
The prime minister's cab
inet ministers, despite earlier
reports of a possible revolt,
pledged their support, and
Macmillan's lieutenants spent
the week end and this morn
ing muffling the party's rank
and file members of parlia
ment.
The scandal which brought
on the crucial debate started
11 days ago when War Min
ister jonn worumo, 48, re
signed after admitting he lied
Commons about his rela
tionshtp with redhalred Chris
tine Keeler, a 21-year-old
party gtrl. -
Profumo told the House
March 22 there was nothna
improper about his friendship
with Miss Keeler, but it turn
ed out he was having an il
licit love affair with her.
Sacurity Involved
The Profumo affair took on
security implications when it
was disclosed that Miss Keel
er also was the mistress of
Soviet assistant and naval at
tache Eugene Ivanov during
the time she and Profumo, a
married man, were meeting.
This disclosure led to de
mands by the opposition La
bor party for the Commons
debate. -
Most political observers felt
a vote of confidence would
be only a temporary respite
for Macmlllan and that he
would have to step down un
der party and public pres
sures some time this summer.
Women Around World Hail Fete of
Russian Cosmonette in Space Flight
By United Pre. International
London-HJHi-Women around
the world led the salutes to
day to their new champion-
Russia's Valentin Teresh-
kova, the first female in
space. '
Queen Elizabeth of Britain
sent a message to Soviet Pres
ident Leonid Brezhnev con
veying her "very warm con
gratuiations" to the pioneer
cosmonette.
In Amsterdam, Fanny
Blakers-Koen, the gold medal
winning "flying housewife"
of the 1949 Olympics, said:
"Women can do great things
just as well as men. That is
nothing new. Of course, space
wai a man's domain up to
now and therefore it seems
wonderful ... I admire that
Russian girl. I think she is
great."
In Frankfurt, Germany,
seamstress Emma Groth, 62,
said "Valentine has shown
that women can do anything
a man can do. She has proven
that we women also have the
stuff and courage."
In Copenhagen, television
weather girl Anne Jerichou
said she welcomed the cos
moentte'a feat after the Lon
don scandal over Christine
Keeler.
"It looks of If Valentina is
going to be the woman face-
saver after the recent adven
tures of a more down-to-earth
female," she said.
Newspapers t h r o u g hout
Europe hailed the Soviet feat
of placing a woman in orbit
along with male cosmonaut
Lt. Col. Valery F. Bykovsky,
28.
"To the millions of under
privileged women of the
world, she is a soaring symobl
of feminine emancipation,"
said London Daily Express
writer Chapman Pincher.
American's reaction to the
Soviet woman-in-space ranged
from amusement to annoy
ance - depending whether
viewed from the male or dis
taff perspective.
They joked about it at Cape
Canaveral, with variations on
the usual wheeze about
women drivers.
Lt. Gen. Leighton I. Davis,
commander of the U. S. Mis
sile Test Center, Cape Canav
eral, Fla., said, "at the risk
of d r a w 1 n the ire of the
feminine people, I think this
is merely a publicity stunt."
Mrs. Philip Hart, wife of
Michigan's Democratic sen
ator and a qualified pilot who
has passed astronaut physical
examinations, said in Wash
ington. "I'm more annoyed at
the feat than I am impressed."

who burned himself to death
to protest alleged discrimina
tion by Roman Catholic Presi
dent Ngo Dinh Diem against
the country'a Buddhist ma
jority.
The riot occurred only a
tew hours after Diem signed
a peace agreement worked
out with Buddhist leaders
during several days of negotiations.
The crowd of Buddhists
gathered near the Glac Minh
pagoda to join the funeral
procession for Thich Quang
Due, the priest who made him
self a human torch on a
crowded street last week.
Fighting started when a
group of more than 400 youths
began throwing shoes, san
dals, rocks and bricks at the
police.
Police" retaliated by throw
ing teargas grenades into the
crowd, then charging the
youths with' truncheons and
shields. The police also drew
their pistols and appeared to
fire over the heads ot the
mob.
One youth was shot in the
head and died later at a hos
pital. Another was wounded
in the leg.
About SO other demonstra
tors were injured. Including
two Buddhist priests. Police
sources said a similar number
of policemen were hurt, in
cluding 38 with serious in
juries. The battle raged more than
an hour before police were
able to restore order and ar
rest about 130 rioters.
The peace agreement signed
earlier in the day said the
government would release
jailed Buddhist priests and
permit the Buddhists to fly
their flag and spread their
faith without fear of harassment.
She said it only showed the
U. S. "is 100 years behind in

that since we were doing
