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

said
"It is a matter of logistics."
Universal describes itself as
a "support contractor." And

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

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

Many problems arose:
Would food packaged in No

spring? How could weight be
kept to an absolute minimum?
How could calorie content be

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.
