Across U.S.
Predicted
NEW YORK (UPI) Travelers!
in the future will cross the Unit
ed States in supersonic planes in
a couple of hours. The visitor to
New York can figuratively do the
same thing now on foot without
leaving the city.
Sprawled over 205 acres in the
Bronx is "Freedomland," a fam
ily entertainment center laid out
in the contours of the continental
United States. A visit to this "In
stant America" by the tourist can
provide a welcome and relaxing
break, particularly if the kids are
along.
For the price of admission ($1),
there is free top-notch entertain
ment and 14 other free attrac
tions. There are scores of shows.
exhibits and rides (ranging in
price from 10 to SO cents), includ
ing tile only Monorail roller coast
er in the United States.
The quickie cross-country tour
begins where many Americans'
ancestors began their quest for a;
new life. The front gate leads to
"Little Old New York" of a cen
tury ago where horse-drawn trol
leys clang through (.aslamp-lit
streets under the watchful eyes
of mustachioed, high - helmeted
bluecoats.
Chicago is beyond a trestle
over which puffing locomotives of
the Sante Fe Railroad with toot
ing steam whistles haul strings
of old-fashioned coaches on the
route to the West Coast.
Great Lakes sternwheeler boats
with Victorian filigree rails and
black crown smoke stacks tie up
at the docks to take on passen
gers for a
West.
Kicks Over Lantern
Every hour on the hour. Moth
er Leary's cow kicks over the
lantern. A call is made for volun
teers to haul out the ancient fire
wagon and the small fry can
help douse the "flames."
Farther west is Fort Cavalryl
where the marshal and his dep
uties regularly gun down the
bad guys in Wild West shootouts;
in the dusty compound
Nearby, trapper bull boats push
off for the famed Northwest Pas
sage and are caught unexpectedly
in a crossfire between Indians
and trappers. -
Next comes California where!
the travelers can walk through
San Francisco's Chinatown, get
really shook up on the Earth
quake Ride, or watch Pacific seals
cavort. The Hollywood Arena of
fers circus acts for all throughout
the day.
In the great Southwest, an old
fashioned Music Hall rings with
community sings, free puppet
shows and a Cavalcade of Clowns.
An ore bucket ride whisks pass
engers high over "rugged moun
tains" in cable cars. Or if they
wish to go even higher, a heli
copter will take them for a bird's-
eye view of the entire "United
States" in just five minutes.
In the South, a correspondent's
wagon pulled by horses carried
passengers through the "shot-and-shell"
of Civil War battlefields,
ending the journey at Appoma
tox where an animated figure of
Gen. Robert E. Lee on horseback
has come to surrender.
Less exciting but equally thrill
ing is a visit to the Wax Mu-
seum the same which was a
highlight of the Seattle World's
Fair last year. The tableaux of
"The Last Supper," depicting
Christ and the disciples, is a
feature.

about how to handle this major
news eent.
Years in construction and the
source of continuous friction with

branch and Congress, the XB70 is
the experimental plane which the

into a reconnaissance and missile
armed strike craft called RS70.

will change the fact that the

No amount of Air Force and

Henry Wallace Predicts
80 Million Employment
SOUTH SALEM, N.Y. (UPI I
Henry A. Wallace, whose 1945
plan to provide 60 million jobs
drew derisive hoots from skepli-
cruist of the Middle.0,31 congressmen said Saturday
me nation snuuiu aim uuw lur
"at least 80 million in 1970."
The fiery elder statesman and
former farm bloc spokesman also
suggested decentralization of in
dustry as an answer to the un
employment problem.
Wallace took time out from
"having fun planting some straw
berry seeds" at his home here
to comment on the Labor De
partment's announcement that the
number of employed Americans
passed the 70 million mark for
the first time in June.
"My only error was in under
estimating," he told UPI. "My
plan was all laid out in my book
i Sixty Million Jobs, published in
1946).
I suggested three plans for
furnishing the necessary jobs
through private enterprise, a cer
tain amount of government parti
cipation or an intermediate one of
both.
"Oh, there was lots of skepti
cism then," said the 74-year-old
Wallace who served four years
as vice president under Franklin
D. Roosevelt before heading up
the Commerce Department.
"One senator I won't men
tion his name even w e n t on
the air and said there couldn't be
more than 54 million jobs."
But Wallace admitted even he
was surprised by the spiraiing
economy. And what most surpris
ed him, he said, "was the amount
Congress would be willing to go
in government financing."
"It was higher than I ever en
visioned in my most
plans." said Wallace.
WASHINGTON (UPD-Rcpub-
licans kept pressure on the ad
ministration today for stronger
action on Cuba despite assur
ances from the State Department
that further anti-Castro steps are
planned.
Sens. Gordon Allott, R-Colo.,
and Jack Miller, R-Iowa, mem
bers of a group of Republicans
w ho feci Cuba is one of the GOP's
best 1964 campaign issues, con
tinued the attack on what they
believe is a weak anti-Communist
policy in Cuba by President Ken
nedy.
The criticism followed a State
Department announcement that
the United States intended to take
additional steps of its o w n and
would seek extended action by the
Organization of American States
i OAS) "which will in fact turther
isolate Cuba."
Department Spokesman Richard
I. Phillips said the United States
will continue "vigorous efforts" by
w ay of diplomatic channels to re
duce free world shipping to Cu
ba, which has increased recently,
and will enforce vigorously U.S.
shipping regulations against Cuba.
But Phillips did not say what
other steps would be taken.
Allott said in a radio-Television
interview w ith Miller that econom-
and diplomatic pressures on
Cuba are only a "policy of con-
policy of containment at that."
Miller agreed that stronger
measures are needed and said:
"Some of these people who are
saying that Castro's regime is
falling had better realize that we
have...never seen a Communist
government overturned under the
same situations that Cuba has
todav."

managing the XB70 roll-out will)
influence the fact that there will
be large public interest in the
event and the press will expect
to be out in full force to cover it.
Builds Three Models
At a cost now expected to ex
ceed $13 billion. North Amcri
can Aviation, Inc., as prime con
tractor, is building three XB70
models. The first was slated to
(ly last December but ran into
technical problems that have de
laved its roll out at Palmdale un-
til late this summer and its first
flight until October or November.
Technical difficulties arc the
rule, not the exception, in ad
vanced new aircraft, all the more
so with one that makes such
strides as the high alloy stain
less steel XB70.
The specific problem in this
case was a leak of pressurized
nitrogen gas, used in the trian-
Ie-shapcd wing to cool fuel while
the Air Force believe that the
problem has been fixed, after
painstaking examination of the
wing construction and nitrogen
gas piping.
Their present expectation is to
roll-out the ABiO in August or
September and start extensive
ground tests at the desert center
at Palmdale.
Then, if all goes well, the be
hemoth should take to (lie air in
late fall for a two-to-three
hour flight, alighting at Edwards
Air Force Base, Calif., the test
ing area for all America's ad
vanced military aircraft.
STARVED WEEVILS '
For the first time, entomolo
ists have extracted the sub
stance which makes cotton ap
petizing to boll weevils. This
substance, called "arrestant," if
it could be synthesized, could
be used to treat other plants and
induce boll weevils to lay their
eggs where the newly-hatched
iarvae would starve, according to
the Britannica Book of the Year.
CITY'S NICKNAME
Lord Cornwallis, who held the
city for a time during the Revo

city's citizens were so active in

slogan - nickname of "hornet's
nest" continues to typify activi
ties of the community.
