COUP. ! The- Day's Sews By FRANK JENKINS More about Astronaut Glenn: Addressing the annual luncheon of the Associated Press in New York yesterday, he proposed a national clearing house lor space data, and added: "A good many of us today are content to be fat, dumb and happy with a polyunsaturated diet of the coming 35-hour week, a fly-now pay-later vacation and fringe ben efits. "We need to apply our creative-1 ness, inventiveness and resource fulness not just to LOCATING in-i formation but also to MAKING USE OF IT." Hmrnrnmmmmmmmm. How to LIVE WITH and PROF IT BY automation, for example. We tend now to shiver and turn blue with fear and dread every time the word AUTOMATION is heard. The fact is that automation holds out the promise of solving many if not most of the problems that now trouble us. Automation, if accepted as a new tool as was the steam en gineis capable of LOWERING PRICES and thus resulting in great increases in consumption, which is just a big word term for getting more for our money for HAVING MORE. It has long been conceded that man's power to consume is limited ONLY by his power to PUR CHASE. If prices can be lowered enough (by automation, for ex ample) it can be possible for mankind to consume so MUCH more that fantastic numbers of new jobs can be created thus finding work for those who arc presently unemployed. Maybe Away off out there in the areas of black space, with nothing to do but THINK, a man tends to think slraighter. Anyway, Colonel Glenn seems to have been doing some pretty straight thinking. From London this morning: Prime Minister Harold Macmil lan's ex-footman called at Macmil lan's London home yesterday to PICK UP HIS SHIRT. How come? Well, it appears that Monday morning he was asked to wash up the breakfast dishes. That did it. He up and LEFT. "Normally," he explains, "a footman looks after the gold, silver and brass, but DISHWASHING - why, that's a kitchenmaid's work in a well-or dered household! If I had stayed on and washed the dishes, I wouldn't have been able to 1 o o k another footman in the face." In his hurry to get away from the awful place, he forgot his shirt. By the way Just what is a footman? Webster defines it thus: "A walker. A footpad. A foot soldier. A male servant whose du ties are to attend the door, the ta ble, etc." A footman, you see, has quite a range of occupations. Let's go on from there. What's a footpad? Webster says a footpad is a "HIGHWAYMAN on foot." And w hat's a highwayman? A highwayman is a highway rob ber. And THAT brings up something else the walkers we used to pick up on the highway, but no longer dare to. The papers these days are full of what happens to kind- hearted motorists who pick up walkers on the highway. Ah. me! What's happening to this old world of ours when we no longer dare to perform the simple, hu man. thoughtful little courtesy in volved in offering a ride to the poor devil who for one reason or another has to walk to wherever he happens to be going? Aid Offered Neutralists VIENTIANE, Laos UPI Rightwing strongman Gen. Phoumi No savan accused the leftist Palhet tnrlav nf trvinj? to destroy the Laotian coalition government an(i,StGtC offered to send troops to help the neutralists against the pro-Communists. The pro-Communists counter charged that Phoumi was prepar ing his troops for an -offensive, creating a danger to the security of Laos. The exchange of charges threat ened to upset the uneasy lull in the Plain of Jars fighting between the Pathet Lao and neutralist forces led by Gen. Kong Le. Diplomatic activity here and abroad picked up in an urgent drive to head off another civil war in this unsettled Southeast Asian kingdom. Thoumi. who has remained in the background during the current fighting, met with neutralist Pre mier Snuvanna Phouma. It was believed Kong Le may have par ticipated in Uie meeting.

I 4.57 Same period last year i.u Navy Plans To Picture Sunken Sub WASHINGTON (UPIl - The Navy planned to lower underwater cameras to the bottom of the At lantic today to see if it has found the hulk of the submarine Thresh er. The Navy has located about a dozen objects on the ocean floor, 8,400 feet deep, in the area where the nuclear submarine disap peared with 129 men April 10. The Navy said six of these objects look like real good prospects." The search has been narrowed to an area of 10 square miles 270 miles east of Boston. The Navy said it was confident that the sunken attack submarine lay somewhere within that area. To Establish Cause In another development, the chairman of the Joint Congres sional Atomic Committee said the Thresher investigation indicates that the cause of the disaster will ultimately be "reasonably well" established. Sen. John O. Pastore, D-R.I., made his statement after two members of the joint committee staff briefed committeemen on the work of a naval court of in quiry investigating the Thresher's loss. Capt. C. B. Bishop, a submarine expert in the Office of the Chief of Naval Operations, said it Mas possible that cameras lowered from the survey ship Atlantis II would find the Thresher today. Bishop said the objects noted on the ocean floor were "anomal ies" which do not appear to be "part of the natural ocean bottom shape." He said it was possible that they could be outcroppings of rock or other sunken hulks but he said he knew of no other hulks in the area. To Use Bathyscaph If cameras from the Atlantis II. with their high intensity lights. find the Thresher, they might pro vide some clue of what happened to it. - v If the cameras do locate the hulk, the deep-diving bathyscaph Trieste will be lowered to inspect it. Castro Exchanges Ail Prisoners Except One HOMESTEAD AFB, Fla. (UPD Cuban Premier Fidel Castro emptied his dungeons of all Amer ican prisoners except one longtime enemy Monday in exchange for four Cubans held in U.S. jails.

Two-State Tornado Slaps Mi By United Press International A storm line which chewed a 150-mile path of tornado devasta tion through two Midwest states pushed into the East today, bring ing warnings of more possible twisters in parts of North Caro lina and Virginia. The Weather Bureau said tor nadoes might develop along a line from Danville, Va., to Oceana, Va., including a portion of north ern North Carolina. Monday night's tornadoes in jured at least 44 persons and left a line of destruction from a point north of Decatur, 111., to the out skirts of Indianapolis, Ind. A man swept up and carried 350 yards near Illiopolis, III., was in critical condition. A Makanda, III., farmer knocked unconscious by a lightning bolt was listed in satisfactory condition. Tornado damage at Indianapolis, estimated in excess of $1 million, was said to be the worst in more than 25 years. Nearly 200 homes were damaged. Another syndrome of twisters, lightning and hail slammed the Southwest. A tornado bowled over a dozen 20-foot grain storage tanks at Frisco, north of Dallas, Tex., and all the grain was lost. Several houses were unroofed power and phone lines were downed and damage was estimat ed at $200,000 at the tiny commu nity. Hail pounded the downtown and eastern residential areas of Dallas. Almost an inch of rain fell at Dayton, Ohio, but no serious dam age was inflicted. Heavy rains and hail fell at Cleveland, and there were scattered power failures and lightning-caused fires. The water was four feet deep in in one Columbus suburb. Lightning struck the West Elementary School at Celina, Ohio, during the night. In Missouri, a tornado touched down in open country south of Lutesville, but no damage was re ported.

At the same time the committee skirted a straw vote on the ciga rette tax and income tax meas ures approved Friday by the House. Members indicated they would rather not take a pulse reading until they had the bills in the committee.

Barton said the commission had reversed its earlier stand against highway bonding.

Mails of the compromise were not made available, but Barton said "everyone would get a little less than asked." Bailon predicted the House committee would amend lis $37 million bunding bill to the $23 million figure financed by the 1-2-cent gasoline tax increase.
