A Norfolk (Va.) Navy de-

practicing the fine art of fish,

curry astronauts flying them
out of the ocean.
The National Aeronautics and
Administration said today that
ships of Destroyer Flotilla 4
have been conducting early ex-
periments in the Hampton
Roads area.
The ships have been using a
full-scale research model of the
Mercury space capsule. The
model is 80 inches across,
about 10 feet high, and weighs
slightly more than a ton. The
model does not contain in
struments, however.
Destroyer crews drop the cap

GUS techniques for retrieving
it. The most successful yet
employed, devised by a chief
boatswain's mate, involves the

MRS, Luce Quits as Envoy
Despite Presidents Plea
Decision
Follows Row
With Morse
BY CECIL HOLLAND
Star stan Writer

Clare BOothe Luce resigned
today as Ambassador to Brazil
as an aftermath Of her bitter
public dispute with Senator
Morse, Democrat of Oregon.
Her resignation was an
nounced at the White House
after Mrs. Luce had conferred
for an hour with President
Eisenhower.
During the conference, the
White House said, the Presi-
dent tried unsuccessfully to get
Mrs. Luce to reconsider.
The resignation, which came
even before she was sworn into
office, was announced at a
brief news conference in the
Office of Press Secretary James
c. Hagerty with Mrs. Luce
present. Mrs. Luce declined any
comment beyond the contents
Of a letter of resignation.
"GOOd viii Poisoned"
In the letter she said it is
no longer possible for her to ac-
complish the mission because
the climate Of good will was
poisoned by thousands of words
of extraordinarily ugly charges
made against my person"
Mrs. Luce stood straight and
grave behind Mr.. Hagerty's
desk as the press secretary read
the announcement of her resig-
nation. Mrs. Anne Wheaton,
assistant press secretary, also
stood with Mrs. Luce.
1.-THE President with regret
accepted today the resignation
of Mrs. Glare Booth Luce as
Ambassador to Brazil" Mr..
Hagerty said.
"At the same time he told
her of his continued confidence
in her and expressed his hope
she would continue in her as
signment.
"1er letter gives the reason
why she feels she could not
RECONSIDER her decision. The
President will write a formal
letter later accepting the res
ignation."
Doesn't Mention Morse
Mrs. Luce's letter did not
mention Senator Morse by
name, but 1t noted that "the
American author" of the
charges against her is also
chairman of a Senate subcom-
mittee which handles Latin
American affairs. Senator
Morse has that assignment.
Senator Morse tried to block
Senate approval of her appoint
ment but was defeated by a
Toll vote Tuesday.
A few hours after this, Mrs.
Luce caused an angry uproar by
saying in New York that her
troubles began when Senator
Morse was kicked in the head
by a horse" in 1851.
The Senator, in reply, called
her remark proof she was not
fitted for the diplomatic post.
He implied she was unstable
mentally. A number of Sena-
tors who voted earlier for her
confirmation said the remark
about Senator Morse changed
their opinion of her and that
they would now vote against
her if given the opportunity.
In summing up her decision
to step aside, Mrs. Luce told
the President in her letter:
Common sense indicates that
the good will and support which
the rest of the Senate has
given will not be forthcoming

MRS. LUcE,s LETTER
She Respectfully Resigns

This Is the letter OF Mrs.
Clare Bootfe Luce to PresiS
dent Eisenhower submitting
her resignation as AMBUSH
dor to Brazil:
Dear Mr.. President:
Regretfully I am submit
ing my resignation as Ambas-
sador to Brazil. I do so, not
for personal reasons, but be-
cause I am persuaded, after
much reflection, that it is
no longer possible for me to
accomplish the mission which
you have intrusted to me. 1t
is a mission of supreme i'm
portance to America. AS l
wrote you on February %,
when accepting it: II remem-
Der so well that the first
time you talked to me-after
the 1852 election-you spoke
with deep urgency of your
desire to further the CONSOLE
dalton and expansion of firm
and prosperous accords with
all the Latin American ma
tions." And, wrote, Brazil
is indeed a mighty land whose
fortunes we hope will be ever
more happily and fruitfully
linked with our own"
AS you know better than I,
the mission is a delicate one.
In few countries would sue
cess produce such mutually
rich rewards, or failure more
unhappy consequences. Every
statesman and diplomat rec
ognizes the fact that the
more significant the mission.
the more necessary it is for
an envoy to pursue his duties
in a climate of reasonable
good will and bipartisan sup
port.
The vote on my confirma-
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1959-05-01

ton in the Senate committee
of l6 to l and on the Senate
floor of 70 to II was indeed
an example of bipartisan
support on foreign policy.
But unhappily, in spite of the
best efforts of 70 Senators,
the climate of good will was
poisoned by thousands OF
words of extraordinarily ugly
charges against my person,
and of distrust of the mission
I was to undertake. These
charges were inescapably
printed around the world.
Mr.. President, I am aware
and appreciate that, as you
have said, both Brazilian and
our own public opinion have
overwhelmingly discounted
the furious, and I think
foolish, attacks made against
me. Yet it would be i'm
prudent of me-and no true
service to you-to ignore the
fact that the broadcaSting Of
these charges has planted the
seeds of hostile suspicion.
For all through the course of
my mission, these seeds could
be watered carefully-either
by their author, Tor unknow-
: able motive, or by any politi-
cal element, with the clear
motive of diScrediting Amer
lea by the simple device Of
diSparaging an American
ambassador. And so most
easily-there could be denied
any chance of attainment of
fruitful accords between the
two countries.
Even this cautious consid-
Grafton, Mr.. President, might
be surmounted we're it not for

author of these charges lap
