used to the limits of its capac-

While the American people
seem to see through the Soviet
propaganda, he indicated, other
peoples are more gulIible.
America is not ready for any
radical change in trade with
the Soviet Union, the President
told a questioner, although poll

American
Woman
ToPreside
BY LILLIAN LEVY
Contributing Writer

An American woman VIII
preside over the SIND annual
meeting of the Federation
Aeronautique Internationale,
to be held in Moscow the end
of this month.
She is Jacqueline Cochran,
Americas First Lady of the
Air" who was elected presi-
dent of the international
aviation organization when 1t
met last year in the United
States.
The peaceful uses of outer
space have top priority On the
agenda prepared by the ia
nous aviatrix for considera-
ton of the world group. The
F.A.I is non-proflt and nom
governmental and works for
mutual assistance in aero
nauticS.
Miss Cochran, the first
woman to break the sound
barrier, is hopeful that the
F.A.I. meeting in Moscow will
achieve a break-through in
the political barriers tI,at to-
date have hampered world
agreement on space.
1.-THE Russians will very
shortly be discussing the
peaceful uses of outer space
with Americans as well as
other delegates to the general
conference" Miss Cochran
predicted confidently.
The Russians failed to par
ticipate in the first U. N.
. meeting on this subject, but
the high-flying lady has
high hopes that the Moscow
meeting will prove to be the
beginning of world agree
ment on space exploration.
In addition to being presi-
dent of the world group, Miss
Cochran is first vice presi-
dent of the National Aero
nautic ssocia ton, the
FAILS member organization
in the United States.
Thomas G.. Lanphier. Jr.,
president of the N.A.A., will
be chief of the United States
delegation that will include
Frederick c. Crawford of
Thompson Ramo woodbridge,
Inc. General James H. Doo-
little. U.S.A.F. (ret), Space
Technology Laboratories
board chairman and c. r.
Smith, American Afrlines
president.
Other American delegates
will include representatives
from the Army. Air Force
and the National Aeronautic
and Space Administration.
Miss Cochran, who will go
to Moscow as the head of the
F.A.I., will fly there in her
own plane. a Lockheed Lode
star. via the Atlantic Route.
Accompanying her as a Sec
ond pilot will be Col. Charles
Yaeger, the first man to
break the sound barrier.
