TRAVEL STUDY TO BE MADE WASHINGTON (UP) - The White House announced Wednes' day it has directed the Depart ments of State and Commerce to conduct a study of barriers to in ternational travel. Clarence B Randall, special assistant to the President, will conduct the study. Editor's Note How does the I average American feel about hav ing a couple of Russian moons inl space? Worried? Confident that we will do as well, or better? Top AP reporters took samplings in two average cities in widely sep arated parts of the country. Here's what they found. By SAUL PETT SHEBOYGAN, Wis.. Nov. 14 W The people in this industrial community of 45.0OO "The wurst city in the world, as sausage fans know it read. about, talk about, wonder about Soviet satel lite, but there is little sign of deep concern. Mention Sputnik m Sheboygan and the first, reaction is a broad grin and frequently a joke. , Among many people, there is a refusal to admit that the United States is really behind the' Rus sians in outer space' or, if it is, that it will stay behind long. I think we re catching up with them but we're just not letting it out," said Mrs. August Miller, pretty brunette waitress at the Hotel Foeste. "After all. this is the United States. We haven't been licked yet. Sure, the Russians are snart. But what it took them five years to make, we'll probably rnake in a year. This same idea that America is close to or even ahead of the Soviets in guided missile develop- ment but won't say so for security reasons was expressed, also, by a lawyer, electrician and banker. The two most worried people en countered by this reporter were David Fenske and John Kroos both 14 and freshmen at Central High. While concerned, John was cer tain America would catch up: 'Russia puts out a lot more engi neers and scientists than we do but we got the smarter ones That's what our science teacher says." ' 'I don't think we've really been told how far we've progressed in missiles, said W. F. bchlundt, vice president or the security Na tional Bank. Is there a special female reac tion? "I just haven't thought about it much," said Joyce Menice, sales woman at Rudnick's jewelry store. "Other women I know don't talk about it. I think it's more a man's subject." Said Mrs. Arthur Schildbach, a housewife, while buying ribbons in a gift shop: "Oh, yes, 1 read about it and how they're naming ham burgers and drinks and other things after Sputnik. But I don't think or worry about it. After all, you vote your government in. Let them take care of it. They get paid for it, after all." There have been no letters writ ten to the editor of the Sheboygan Press about Sputnik. Only a few phone calls, said Harold R. Maier, managing editor. One caller said he hadn't seen Sputnik but did hear some dogs barking. "I'm not too disturbed," said the Rev. T. Parry Jones of the First Methodist Church. "One thing it's done, it's turned some people's eyes, up to the sky for the first time since their courting days." GATLINBURG. Tenn. I A full moon hung in the sky like a big silver ball over the Great Smoky Mountains the other night. The driver switched off the lights of . the bus for a moment and drove easily in the white bril liance. "Biggest moon I ever saw," he said. iou suppose its ours? The passengers in the bus laughed. A man said: "I'll bet curs will be twice that big when we get it going. The conversa tion ended there. When the average man in the South speaks about the Russian satellites at all today and you don't hear much talk of them he is more likely to joke than to express anxiety or outright fear. .Sputnik has stirred curiosity certainly, some awe over the thought of man-made objects whirling in space but no great alarm. For one tiling, the military Im plications apparently are by no means widely understood. At a cigar counter in Gainesville, Ga., a few days ago, a man was say ing: "They've got a gadget whiz zing around out there somewhere. So what? Are they going to bomb us tomorrow? I don't see the con nection." In Chattanooga, Tenn., a farmer said: "I just don't believe in that stuff. Sounds to me like more Rus sian propaganda." A local situation frequently col ors the attitude of the people. For instance, in the whole region around the national laboratory at Oak Ridge, Tenn., one of the cen ters of atomic research, the man on the street plainly reflects the attitude of scientists and techni cians working nearby. - "I'm glad the Russians did it." said a man from Kingsport, Term. He went on to say that, in his opinion, American scientists have not been given the unhindered op portunity to develop research pro jects. In a curious way, the fact the Russians put a dog inside Sputnik 11 seems to have impressed peo ple in this region more than the fact that tiiey succeeded in get COMPLETES, TRAINING Wesley Drazil, aviation electron ics technician airman, U.S. Navy, son of Mr. and Mrs. Joseph Dra zil, Star Route, Malin. graduated from Aviation Electronic Tech School at .Memphis, Tennessee, it was reported today by John T.

"That's a cruel thing to do." Sputnik may have contributed to a decline in President Eisenhow er's popularity in the South today. 'Rut it isn't only Sputnik and Little Rock," says Horace Wells, weekly newspaper publisher in Clinton, Tenn. "It's a lot of other things as well."
