! 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?

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

find the Thresher, they might pro

to it. - v
If the cameras do locate the
hulk, the deep-diving bathyscaph

Cuban Premier Fidel Castro

four Cubans held in U.S. jails.
The bearded Cuban dictator also

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. By far the crudest punishment
was meted out to Indiana and Illi

Road Bond
Plan Okayed
SALEM (UPD A compro
mise $25 million highway bonding
proposal, to be financed with a
one-half cent a gallon increase in
the gasoline tax, has been ap
proved by the State Highway
Commission, House Speaker Clar
ence Barton said today.
Barton said the commission had
reversed its earlier stand against
highway bonding.
The House Highway Committee
is considering a proposed $37 mil
lion bond program to finance
work on Highway 101 in Tilla
mook County, and other "have
not" highways.
The Senate Highway Commit
tee is considering a proposed $17
million bond program lo finance
reconstruction nf Highway 20 from
Co.-vallis to Newport.
Proponents of both bonding
measures said they favored a 1
cent a gallon tax hike, and a $5
increase in license fees to pay
for the bonds.
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.
Before the Highway Commis
sion's reversal in altitude, Com
mission Chairman Glen Jackson
and Gov. Mark Hatfield voiced
opposition to bond programs to
finance highway improvements. -
Proponents of the bonding said
somo of the "have not" highways
could not wait for improvements
until the highway commission had
money to pay cash.
