Washington, March 22.-(AP)- AL
ninistration supporters beat off three
efforts to restrict the government re
organization bill today, although OPP
ponents of the measure mustered I'm
availing tie votes on two of them.
The Senate rejected, SO to 33, a pro-
posal by Senator Pittman, Democrat
Nevada, to exempt the Forest Service
from provisions of the bill giving the
President broad powers to re-shuffle
Federal agencies.
Senator Clark, Democrat Missouri
then offered an amendment which
would have prevented the President
from making any changes in the pre-
sent set-up of the Veterans Bureau
When this was defeated by tie vote,
IL to Al, Clark re-phrased the amend
ment and then offered it again. This
time the vote was 38 to 38 and the
second amendment was lost.
One administration supporter, Sena-
tor Hatch, Democrat, New Mexico
joined the opposition for the first tinl1
in advocating the Pittman amend

Guards quickly placed the dazed
man on a stretcher and handed him
back through the trap, blood tricklins
from cut near the ear.
Seven minutes later, Adkins, sup
ported by a guard, firmly told the
spectators. "I wish to see you all in
heaven some day. I'm going to glory
Goodbye
There was another sharp report at
9:O2 IL p. M, and Adkins dropped
simultaneously with a companion
John Travis, 25, to death.
The two were followed "a minutes
later by A. A. Booth, 46, confessed
leader of the crime which led to the
hanging. The three, all from Hunting

Morgan declined comment on what
steps he would take in such an event.
He said he plann<d to go to Chi

It sounds fantastic but science
is working to make it come true

The purser unseals the doors, and dapper
official appears.

Behind him are buildings with French
signs It is not dream. Yet two hours ago
you were riding down Broadway.
IAN ordeal" some may say. mo sane per-

Familiar words They were said of the first
trains, cars, airplanes. But people will ride
when rocket ships are built.
Earthbomd flight, except for great speed,
brings nothing beyond comprehension. But
space fight - there we have little to guide
US. First, rocket may be aimed at the
moon, with flash bomb to signal arrival.
After that. human fight.
The first pioneer will be like the primitive
man who first put to sea, fighting the fear of
things beyond the horizon. There may be
death in the unfltered rays of the sun, out
in that final void. Beyond earth's gravity.
his ship may become satellite for another
planet. He may reach his goal and be killed
in landing, or die in an airless world.
The first who dares will probably never be

But success will come. There has never been

shock absorbers behind them lock into the
floor. A scene from Broadway show appears
on television screen, and its music fills the
cabin to take the attention of passengers.
Inner and outer doors sealed, the purser turns
on the air supply.
please close your window shutters to
avoid dizziness" he requests. You pretend
to comply, but leave space. A red light
glows field siren walls and the launching
machine starts. Instantly the speed rises,
like car wide open in second. You are
pressed swiftly but smoothly against the
cushion. The car motors howl, and the wind
shrieks as the power goes on full.
Under the shutter you catch a whirl of
lights, then downward force pulls you deep
in your chair. The car is racing up the incline.
A blasting roar, and the rockets are cut in.
There is surge of terrific power and the
rocket ship hurtles free, catapulted at 300
miles an hour!
The ship tits steeply upward - like a
roller coaster in reverse. Half-muffled, the
rocket roar comes through the double walls
The ships angle changes, and another outer
port slides opposite your window as the COM
partment revolves. You glimpse a weird
sight. The earth is plunging into space!
Long Island - Manhattan - Greater New
York - only blur of light diminishing at
frightful speed. Mist, white in the jet glare,
flashes and is gone. The ship has pierced
mile-high cloud in three seconds. And still it
accelerates, faster, faster!
The roar lessons, along with the rocket
glare. At twenty miles up there is almost no
air to sustain combustion, except from the
oxygen tanks. Jet flames are cut short at the
nozzles, but their reactive force remains the
same. For few minutes the only sound is
the muted roar of the rockets, coming through
the air space between the walls A green light
flashes, and the purser unlocks the seat gear.
1--WE are now on course, approaching
fifty-mile altitude; speed constant at 3,6OO."
Raising the shutter, you look at solid
blackness. Stars lie beyond, but ice blanks
the outer port i ice that was cloud mist
moments ago.
Abruptly the muff1ed rocket roar ceases en-
tirely; but the purser is ready:
Don't be alarmed. We're coasting."
Coasting in space, at mile second!
We're at the top of our trajectory" the
purser adds. From now on we'll descend"
Trajectory This is giant shell, fired
at continent. But what if the aim were
wrong?
mo danger" the purser assures you.
Were on radio BEAM Also, range stations
take bearings on our signal wave and flash
our position every two minutes. Pilots change
course by fitting jets"
As you finish second cigarette, the red
light goes on. Seats are locked again. Grad
ually the rocket grumble builds up and the
glare of burning gases returns. The ship is
down in the stratosphere.
A brief grinding is heard while folded wings
are extended. The rocket blast ends, and the
ship glides like an airways plane.
A faint jolt, the familiar sensation of wheels
rolling along runways, and the ship stops.
