"1 EXTENDS VISITS Actress Carol Lynley appears in a Los Angeles court where she agreed that her estranged husband, publicist Michael Selsman, could have new visiting days with their two-year-old daughter, Jill. Selsman had contended he wanted "reasonable visitation" because every time he went to see his daughter his wife would send the child somewhere else. (UPI) Man and Space Astronauts Learn How To Survive In Jungle, Desert By ALVIN B. WEBB JR Cape Canaveral - (UPI) -Strange days on the doorsteps to space ... John Glenn, America's first orbiting astronaut, has learned how to use a native blowgun. He added this some what obscure talent to his versatile repertoire during a recent survival course in Panama. With nowhere to go in space for another IS months or so, Glenn and his IS fellow Mercury - Gemini astronauts have spent , the past few weeks learning how to get along in earth's jungles and deserts - just in case they should accidentally land there. Can Ba Fun If happiness is a 12-foot boa constrictor, then survival training can be fun. A n instructor's favorite trick during dull periods of the astronaut's sojourns into the wilds is to stuff the snake into a candidate's overnight pack. The boa constrictor is real tively harmless, even if the victimized astronaut thinks otherwise when first coming face to fang with the fearsome-looking beast In the sleepy hours of the morning. Just As Human Closer to civilization, as tronauts prove to be just as human as the rest of us. Spaceman Virgil I. (Gus) Grissom's contribution to this little homily has been the col lection of speeding tickets, The diminutive astronaut was nabbed recently for allegedly doing 75 miles per hour In his sports car on a Florida road Grissom came similarly at variance with the state's speed laws last November at a cost of $20. For the record, Grissom tooled along at 5,280 miles per hour on his sub-orbital flight through speed-lawless space on July 21, 1061 Powers Silariced Lt. Col. John A. (Shorty) Powers was silenced as the "voice of the astronauts,'1 NASA officials said, in an over-all realignment of per sonnel at the close of Proj ect Mercury. The real reason, according to informed sources, was that Powers stepped on numerous NASA toes - from adminis trator James . Webb on down - when he went on a lecture-for-pay tour for a pub lications firm that was nego tiating to "buy" the personal stories of the astronauts. The selection of former Washington newsman Paul Haney to replace Powers appeared to please most 'space beat reporters who preferred a man with news- handling experience in a news-handling job. FOOD PLAN AMENDED Washington - (UPU - A spe cial House food stamp sub committee has approved sev eral amendments to an ad ministration bill to expand the present pilot food stamp program on a nationwide basis.

At almost the same time, off the Gulf Coast of the United States, members of an oil rig crew sat down to a meal with a menu that read like one from a fancy New Orleans restaurant: rich vege. table soup, crab salad, steak, jumbo Louisiana shrimp Cre ole, boiled potatoes with pars ley butter sauce, fresh green beans, corn, stewed red beans, rice and gravy, hot rolls, a choice of beverages, and French apple pie with ice cream. Both the meal on the moun. tain and the one in the Gulf were "catered" by a unique Seattle-based firm known as Universal Services, Inc. Food, One Facet "Universal goes anywhere," said its president, G. S. Hid' dleston, "and it does almost anything. Food supplying is just one facet of the service.

Universal describes itself as a "support contractor." And no job is too big or too small. It provides food service for crews constructing such proj ects as an Air Force base in the Alaska wilderness or a three-man geological survey team probing the barren coast of Attu. Bast Fad Craw The American expedition to conquer Mt. Everest was a true test of the company's versatility. And it made food history, since the team was the best nutritionally equipped ever to assault the mountain. A basic plan to feed the group was established by Uni versal, cooperating with mem bers of the expedition and about 76 outside companies which contributed to the lard er and its packaging needs. Universal's Seattle plant was the assembly point. The plan was to package the food into individual meals, each Railroad Dispute Back To Congress Washingon-diTD-The touchy railroad work rules dispute appeared Wednesday to have been dumped back in the lap of a reluctant Congress. Secretary of Labor W. Wil lard Wirtz announced Tues day night the collapse of col lective bargaining talks he had been holding with union and rail negotiators. Both , Senate and House Commerce committees, which had been considering Presi dent Kennedy's proposal that the work rules impasse be settled by the Interstate Commerce Commission, sus pended action pending out come of Wirtz' attempt to get the parties to settle it themselves. Collapse of the talks indi cated pressure would be back on Congress to step into the situation. Both the railroads and the group of five rail unions in volved accused each other of tailing to bargain realistical ly. The situation sounded considerably like it did late last month when the railroads agreed to postpone for 30 days imposition of new work rules that would eliminate called "feather-bedding" jobs and practices and touch off a strike. carefully balanced nutrition ally as well as for actual weight. Many problems arose: Would food packaged in No vember be edible In the late spring? How could weight be kept to an absolute minimum? How could calorie content be retained without adding Narrator of Film Named by Crusade Dave Allen has been ap pointed narrator of a film, showing the activities and services of the 30 member agencies of the United Cru sade, it was announced at the local meeting of the Medford campaign workers. United Crusade members viewed scenes from the film at the meeting at the Med ford Hotel. The writing of the script is now in process and the film will be available to any groups wishing to see it, ac cording to ' Dick Simonson, photographer. The film was checked this week by Stearns Cushing, publicity chairman; James Butler, co-chairman, and Lind say Vinsel, public relations chairman. weight or destroying taste and palatability? SpeUaga Curbed The possibility of food spoilage was eliminated by using a special synthetic bag that kept out air. To reduce weight, Univer sal's planners decided to try to dry freeze foods, a rela tively new type of prepara tion. This was accomplished by first freezing and then tak ing away most of the water by means of a vacuum proc ess. This method is different from either freezing or dehy drating alone. Foods prepared in this way retain more of their natural flavor and shape than they would otherwise, and, also, vitamin content is not altered as much as by other methods. To reconstitute these foods, it was only necessary to melt some snow and simmer' the packages in warm water. Some of the foods prepared in this manner for the Everett expedition included Alaskan crata, shrimp, banana slices and fruit juices - food not usually associated with moun tain climbing. Delicacies Offered At base camp no specific menu was followed. The climbers had a basic diet, but they also had such delicacies as artichoke hearts, kippered snacks, smoked salmon, boned chicken, cookies and canned fruit cocktail. But as the team moved nearer to the summit, the menu changed. Packages got lighter and food supplements such as those associated with weight-reducing programs be came more frequent Items in the larder. The green package Whit taker and Gombu opened just before they made their final assault on the summit weigh ed only four pounds, but it contained enough nutritional value for two men for one day - 5,300 calories per man. That four pounds was one of the most vital packages in a total supply food that weigh ed 13 tons. But because of an Intricate color key and numbering sys tem for each of the expedi tion's 416 boxes of foodstuff, and each box's 63 pounds of contents, Jim Whittaker knew in November, exactly what he would be eating the day he conquered Mt. Everest. Joseph W.
