Space Rivalry
Held Beneficial

One of Washington's best
known astronomers. the Rev,
Francis j. Heyden Of George
town University, said yesterday
he thinks the space race be-
tween the United States and
the Soviet Union is a good
thing.
Let's not be alarmed by 1t
but keep UP the rivalry" he
said. TITS better than one here
on earth"
He told a Lions Club lunch
con at the Mayhower Hotel
that Americans shouldn't have
been surprised by the Soviet
space successes since the Rus
slams have long had a distin-
guished culture.
Stating that satellites should
belong to all countries Of the
world, Father Heyden pointed
to some of the benefits these
space vehicles could achieve.
Better weather forecasting

world wide television and basic
celestial research were three
he specifically mentioned.
Father Heyden warned the
audience that sending man
into space will involve great
hazards. For example, he said
1t would take 40 inches Of a
metal shield TO protect q man
from cosmic rays In space.
"And don't forget that a man
will have to take his own food
water and oxygen with him
since other planets don't have
either air or moisture" he
said.
But he added, Mark my
words, Man is going to try to
reach the other planets and
will undoubtedly succeed"
Answering any question
about the propriety Of a
churchman peering into space,
Father Heyden said, II can
find no commandment which
says, Thou Shalt Not Leave

recently with the Ecumenical
Patriarch Athenagoras I about
the question. The latter. with
headquarters at Istanbul !,
Greece, heads a church h
estimated at having ITO million
members.
The archbishop, one Of six
presidents of the World Coun-
Gil Of Churches, charged that
the Roman Catholic Church
had never got in touch officially
with the Ecumenical Patri-
archaic about the talks. The
Roman Catholic Church is not
a member of the World Council
Of Churches.
Unhappy at Action
"The Ecumenical Patriarch
ate knew nothing about the
talks in Venice and no such
talks would materialize unless
the Pope would write to him
and ask his reaction first to
such a meeting" he said. II am
not happy about the cancella-
tion or the reasons that
dictated the conversations"

to report TO their members.
Union members are better
able than the Government to

tended. His bin would allow
union members TO file COM

Mr.. Kearns also would elirni-

union officials and by employ

Kearns said.
His bill relies less on criminal
penalties for enforcement than
other pending measures would.
He also includes in his legis-
lation "a bill Of rights" for
union members which goes be-
yond the one approved by the
Senate. Among other things,
Mr.. Kearns would require q
secret strike vote within seven
days before a strike starts.
He also proposed to prohibit
use Of union funds for political
activity on the State and local
level. Existing law deals only
with Federal political activity.
