erald Isle is bare of snakes. The
Dublin Zoo has 16. But snakes
don't grow there and that's the
point. They have to be i'm

The gift of snakes for next
st. Patrick'S Day originated on
a recent tour of Europe by
Theodore Reed, director of the
National Geological Park. Dur
ing his trip he paid a visit to
the Royal Geological Society OF

and met the superintendent,

AirCatch Fails
DRIFTING Satellite
Elects Package;
Recovery Doubtful
BY WILLIAM HINES
Star Science Writer

Another attempt to recover a
Discoverer satellite instrument
capsule after it had orbited the
earth for more than "a hours
apparently ended in failure
yesterday.
The Defense Department an
nounced at 5:37 pm. CEST)
that a squadron of nine spe-
cially-equipped pla mes had
failed to snatch the 300-pound
capsule in mid-air as it fell to
earth after election from Dis
coverer VIII.
"Air-Sea search of an ex-
tended area southeast of Ha-
waii is underway" the an
nouncement added.
Scant Recovery Hope
There was scant hope how
ever, that the instrument pack
age. about a yard in diameter,
could be recovered. Three Air
Force Constellation reconnais-
sance planes were flying search
patterns, but only one surface
ship was in the region-200
miles long by 100 miles wide
where the capsule was believed
to have dropped.
The Air Force said it is sure
the retro-rocket which was to
slow its descent fired as
planned. But, a spokesman
said there's no indication that
the falling capsules parachute
opened.
Without the chute the
capsule might hit the sea mov-
ing so fast it could break open
and sink, experts said. 1t
normally would float.
The capsule was put into or
bit by a two-stage Thor-Agena
rocket launched from Vanden-
berg Air Force Base, Calf, at
2:25 pm. Friday. Because the
1700-pound second stage, which
included the capsule, was in
a more oval orbit than had
been planned, a last-minute
switch in the search program
had to be made.
This heightened almost in
finitely the odds of "700-to-1"
quoted by a Pentagon official
against successful recovery of
a properly launched capsule by
planes equipped with special
trapeze apparatus suspended
below. 1t also eliminated from
the rescue picture most of the
vessels of a sea recovery team
that had been waiting in the
normal drop zone several hun
dred miles west of where the
capsule actually came in.
Elected on Schedule
1t was announced at the Pen
tagon that the separation of
the capsule from the satellite
proper appeared to have oc-
CURED as planned at about
4:20 pm. yesterday. For about
an hour after the scheduled
time of election, hopes were
high that a recovery would be
successful. This would be a
major first" in the space race

Truman Blasts
6. 0. Vefoes
Hits Eisenhower
Won't Do Policies

TOLEDO, Ohio, Nov. 81
(AP) Former President Harry
S. Truman tonight accused the
Eisenhower administration of
"hoodwinking and defeating
the American people by shame
full and showing abuse of the
presidential veto"
I'm the face of an expand
ing economy and an exploding
population, this won't-do ad-
.ministration has vetoed the
Nation into a lot of trouble
for now and in the future -
Mr.. Truman said in an address
at a windup banquet of the
Young Democratic Club Of
America convention.
He peppered the Republican
Administrators foreign aic
program, labor policies, farm
program, tight money program
and "its give-aways of tide
lands oil and electric power
facilities"
Mr.. Truman said there has
been considerable glee among
Republicans about the unin.
terrupted record of vetoes BY
President Eisenhower which
Congress could not override.
This. he said, has made il
appear that the Congress, with
a Democratic majority, has sus-
tained President Eisenhower
Blasts Farm Policies
Nothing could be further
from the truth. The truth is
that a minority in Congress
just barely over one-third o1
the elected representatives ot
the people-has managed tc
thwart over 140 times the will
of the American people as ex-
pressed by the majority OF
Congress. And this one-third
working with a willing Repub-
lican in the White House, has
managed to impose minority
rule upon the people"

u N. Assembly Votes 6O-1
For Atom Arms Test Ban
Only French
Dissent;U.S.
Abstuins

UNITED NATIONS, N. Y,
Nov. 81 (AP).-The United Ma
tions General Assembly today
passed two resolutions to hold
up nuclear weapons tests and
a third to keep the S2-nation
Disarmament Comm mission
going.
One resolution appealed to all
countries to desist from such
tests during the three-power
talks to stop all experiments
of the sort under international
controls.
Only France voted against a
24-nation Asian-African reso-
luton for this purpose as the
proposal sailed through on a
COL roll call. She plans to test
her first atomic bomb in the
Sahara early next year.
Britain and the United States,
involved in the current Geneva
talks, were among 20 countries
that abstained. Nearly all are
friendly with France.
Backed by Red Bloc
The Soviet Union, the third
party to the negotiations, voted
for the resolution. So did all
the rest of the nine-nation So
Wet bloc, nearly all the 29-na-
ton Asian-African group and
most o fthe donation Latin
American group.
Another resolution, pushed by
Austria, Sweden, and Japan,
urged the three negotiating
countries ito continue their
present voluntary discontinue
ance Of the testing of nuclear
weapons.
This was adopted 1910 on a
show of hands. Afghanistan
and France abstained.
Both resolutions expressed
hope for an early agreement
in the Geneva negotiations and
asked the Big Three to report
the results to the United Ma
tions.
Need for Control Stressed
Both referred to the need for
effective International control.
The Asian-African resolution
alone mentioned increasing
hazards" from nuclear tests and
"the profound concern evinced
by the people of all countries"
over such tests.
The third resolution, spon-
sored by India and Yugoslavia,

It's inspiration is lost in his
tory" he said. Mr.. Stone de-
scribed its character as CLASH
cal, but light to fit its use as
a place Of entertainment, spir-
itual refreshment and relaxa-
tion.
His concept" was indorsed
warmly by President EiSen-
hover and cabinet members at
their last meeting in Washing
ton. The design also has the
approval of the Fine Arts Com
mission, the National Capital
Planning Commission, the Ma
tional Park Service and the
District Commissioners.
Difficulties Face Project
Still, realization of the great
hall is fraught with difficulties.
The Potomac parkway must
be looped away from the river
behind the art center. Two
acres of privately-owned land,
including property of the
Watergate Inn, must be ac-
quired. Congress must author
ize expansion of the site.
Most vital, money enough to
start construction must be
raised by September 2, 1868,
by a congressionally- lly-created
board of trustees. Board Chair
man Arthur S. Flemming, Sec
retary of the Department of
Health, Education and Welfare,
said at least 1000 national
leaders would be invited to
form a steering committee for
a fund campaign by February.

Stone formally unveiled plans

Building. They used the same

convinced that the policymak-
ers. continuing to apply pres
sure, do not understand the sit
uation facing them.
The superintendent's request
was forwarded to all high
schools last week in a memo
from Asst. Supt. John D
Koontz. Some time during De-
cember he wants collected "all
the papers which English
teachers have given during the
(precedingO week"
Must Save Papers for Month
The collection will not in
volve all papers in all schools
1t will be done, according to
the memo, ION a spot basis. y
For the entire month, however
principals were instructed to
tell all the English teachers to
"be sure to hold all papers for
"a week"-thus making it posi-
BILE for the collection to be
made at any time in any class
The memo specifically noted
that "this is not an effort to
check on the English teachers" !"
But spokesmen in the English
departments of the majority OF
high schools here said yes
terday such a statement simply
can't be accepted.
Calls It "GestapO Method"

They will stop outside reading

President two weeks ago to IL
luStrate major features.
The center was plotted on a
circular 10-acre tract. This was
the amount of acreage called
for by Congress but the shape
of the site was originally rec
tangular.
Mr.. Stone, who designed the
United States pavilion at the
Brussels World Fair, shifted
the site slightly southeast
placing the center on the
Potomac where it really be-
longs"
Thus, visitors could approach
by water, as well as by land.
Boats could anchor off a cere-
monial landing platform de-
signed as a convex arc past the
rivers edge. From the platform,
one would walk up a series of
three tiers to a terrace and q
glass-enclosed grand salon in
the center of the building.
1,O00-Car Underground Lot
Motorists would drive into
circular plazas on the northeast
along New Hampshire avenue
and the southeast along an ap-
proach from the inner LOOP and
Jefferson memorial. They could
park in a 1,000-car under
ground lot. Then, they'd take
elevators, escalators or gracious
stairwayS to the salon.
The facility would border the
river for 900 feet. By compari-
son, the National Gallery is $50
feet long. Mr.. Stone said he
would like to install pumps and
lights to create two marvellous
fountains" spraying river water
100 feet high in front of the
center.
Grand Salon of 5000 Capacity
"I don't know when in his
tory there has been an oppor-
tunity to combine opera, SYM
phony and theater facilities
under one roof" Mr.. Stone said.
To protect the acoustics. he

of its own and entrances closed
