BY the Associated Press

A 30-year high for interest on
short-term governmental bor-
rowing was set yesterday when
50 billion in 320-day bills were
sold at an average rate of 1880
per cent.
This compared with 4.783

since June, 1929, when nine

The Treasury is borrowing

Moon Within Ronqe,
Shot Likely Tomorrow

CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla.
Nov. 25 (AP).-The moon is
about to move across the sky
like a target in a celestial
shooting gallery and the United
States is ready to take a shot
at it. The attempt could come
tomorrow.
A towering Atlas-Able rocket
stands on its pad here, waiting
the signal to blast into space.
Standing nearly 10 stories high,
the rocket holds a 375-pound
satellite which scientists hope
will go into orbit about the
moon.
The most favorable. time for
the attempt is a four-day
period starting tomorrow. The
chance of success is greater in
this period because the paths
of the earth and the moon, as
they orbit about the sun, are
most closely aligned.
The task is tough because
missilemen have only a few
minute time bracket each day
in which to launch the Atlas
Able.
The optimum period occurs
only every % days. Therefore
failure to get the rocket off by
Sunday would mean a post
ponement until late December
If successful, the four -stage
Atlas-Able would take two and
a half days to reach the vicinity

jailed Lion Hoping to Be Sprung,
CeIIbIock Mates Hope So, Too

OKLAHOMA CITY, Nov. 25
(AP) P).-George, a houSe-broken,
70-pound African lion, hopes
to be sprung from city Jail here
today. His cellblock mates
wish him well.
The 9-month-old lion was
booked on an open charge and
bunked in a cell near the drunk
tank at the jailhouse here last
night.
He got little rest. While fell
low prisoners snored uneaSily,
George paced the floor and
wolfed dog food showed through
the iron bars.
Jailer Arch Downing said
first thing he heard of the
lions incarceration was a
growl. He said he looked up
from his desk and there stood
George.
The lion was brought to the
jail by his owner, Ted Moore,
a bachelor finance company
manager. He said he'd just had
too much of George.
He said the trouble with
George, an otherwise docile
lion, was his size. He asked
police to hold George overnight
until accommodations could be
arranged at the City Zoo.
He's too big" said Mr.. Moore.
"He has taken over my apart
ment and now he has grown
too fond Of trying to drive my
car"
And George, explained Mr..
Moore, is no back seat driver.
"He keeps wanting to get
into the front seat" Moore said.
ION the way down to the
Jail he kept getting in the front
seat. He honked the horn for
Is minutes. 1 thought we'd
never get him down there"
Nr. Moore said he got the

The United States hopes to
be the first nation to place a
satellite in orbit about the
moon. Scientists here believe
this would be greater achieve
ment than either of Russia s
last two lunik shots. One of
these hit the moon. The other
hurled a satellite into a wide
orbit around the moon and the
earth.
The United States payload
contains a camera to photo
graph the lunar surface, in
cluding the dark side which
Lunik III captured on film for
the first time.
The Atlas-Able satellite also
contains instruments to study
and relay information on the
moons environment.
The Air Force gave an i'm
preSSive preview of the moon
shot yesterday, shooting an
Atlas missile on a 5,000-mile
war weapons test. Informed
sources reported the missile
dropped its dummy warhead
within half a mile of its target
off the South Atlantic island
of Ascension. An Atlas is the

Phone Tobuiotion Pads
Cutting Personal Calls

Internal Revenue Service en-
ployes think twice these days
before calling the missus or the
Chinese laundry over a Gov
ernment telephone.
Under each of the $500 tele-
phones in Uncle Sans tax COL
lection headquarters lies a little
tabulation form with a pencil
close at hand. All calls-out-
going and incoming-muSt be
carefully checked off on the
tally sheet.
And while a tab on personal
calls is not the purpose of the
survey, it has had its salutary
effect. The Government pays
the phone company 334 cents
for each outgoing call.
The purpose of the check is
to determine the adequacy or
inadequacy of equipment.

To many housewives filling
their last-minute grocery lists
the question arose: To cram
berry or not to cranberry?
Government authorities have
assured them that they should
have no worry about buying
cranberries bearing labels
showing they have been tested
and approved.
Berries Not Popular
Despite this assurance. how
ever, cranberries are not ex-
pected to be so popular on
tables tomorrow because of the
discovery that some berries had
been tainted by a chemical that
causes cancer in laboratory
rats.
The Government seized four
more lots of tainted cranber-
ries totaling 1926 pounds yes

ber of seizures. In all, 249.214

Contracts Group
To Appeal to GSA

The Presidents Committee on
Government Contracts headed
by Vice President Nixon sought
Government action today to
have skilled Negro workers EN-
ployed on the reconstruction of
the east front of the Capitol.
Irving Ferman, executive vice
president of the committee,
said he will carry the fight to
the General Services Admins
tration as the contracting
agency on the part of the Gov
ernment.
He said two months negotia-
tionS with the McCloskey Con-
tracing Co. of Philadelphia
had failed to resolve the i'm
passe. He added that he would
undertake to arrange meeting
within the next few days with
GSA Administrator Franklin
Floete to discuss the matter.
Mr.. Ferman did not disclose
what steps he would ask the
GSA to take. Informed sources
said there was little likelihood
of any serious efforts to abro-
gate the contract with the east
front work as far along as it.
is. But it appeared to be the
aim of the committee and those
backing its purpose to see that
discrimination is avoided in
similar projects in the future.
Two Other Big Projects
Also involved are McCloskey
contracts on the new House
Office building and a new Gov
ernment building being erected
just west of the Health, Educa-
ton and Welfare building on
independence avenue.
Mr.. Ferman said the east
front reconstruction holds a
symbolic reference and added:
I'VE simply cannot let this
east front be built with any
suspicion of discrimination"
Involved in the dispute along
with the McCloskey Co. is Local

skilled workers for the three
projects under a referral agree
ment with the contracting firm.

April Is has been tentatively
agreed upon by the Western
powers working group as the
date to be proposed to Russia
for an East-West summit meet
ing.
Announcement of q date is
not expected until the Deem
Der 1921 Western summit con-
ference in Paris.
France is understood to have
agreed at the working level to
April rs. but diplomats here do
not consider it completely firm
until they receive a definite ex-
preston of approval from Pres
ident de Gaulle.
Working-level diplomats Of
the United States, Britain,
France and West Germany
have been meeting periodically
at the State Department, first
Exchanging calendars" as one
diplomat put it, and now study
ing what topics can usefully be
brought up at the projected
East-West summit conference.
Differ in Approach
Great Britain favors the
erieS-of-summitS approach in
which not much of anything
concrete in the way of agree
ment need come out of the first
encounter. At the opposite
pole is France, which is press
ing for a carefully prepared,
comprehensive agenda dealing
with the entire sweep of world
problems.
The United States presently
leans toward the British posi-
ton. West Germany, it is un-
derstood. is concentrating its
interest on the broad disarma--
ment question and keeping
consideration of Berlin a sub
sidiary issue to the broader
problem of German reunifica-
ton.
The Western powers are re-
ported to have agreed that par
ticipants in the East-West
summit conference should be
confined to the Big Four-the
United States, the Soviet
Union, Britain and France.
They have agreed that neither
West nor East Germany should
be allowed at the conference
table.
Geneva Favored as Site
Geneva has been agreed upon
as the best site for the summit
talks.
Secretary of State Herter told
his news conference yesterday
that mo date has been set" for
the East-West summit confer
ence and possibly no date will
be set until the meeting on the
18th of December in Paris"
Diplomats said this meant no
public announcement of the
tentative agreement would be
made now and the April Is date
was subject to change if made
necessary by future events"

Retreat on Lights
Several years ago, the Dis
trict put in some mercury-vapol
lights in Georgetown. After
outraged protests came from
Georgetown residents, the city
retreated to the point of re-
moving the lights at several
locations.
Under the highway depart.
ment plan, Gen. yelling said
the city would lean toward
installation of the pendant-type
mercury vapor lights where
totally new installations are
needed.
Under the recommendations
the brightest lights would go or
business and commercial streets
The next brightest would be
placed on arterials and free
ways. The dimmest lights
would be placed in residential
areas.
Cost Not Determined
AS to cost, the Commissioner
said the plan probably would
call for a lower capital outlay
figure than had been estimated
under the city's current street
light improvement plans. Gen
yelling said he could not YET
give a dollar figure on the de-
partment'S recommendations.
Under the proposed schedule
for carrying out the program
the city would be divided into

improvements would be made
in about two areas each year
