The Defense Department to-
day began easing its Advanced
Research Projects Agency out
Of the space business.
ARPA, created in February,
1858, during the turmoil that
followed the launching of the
first two Russian sputniks. will
concentrate hereafter on far
out research projects and will
leave space to the military
services and the civilian space
agency.
This was made clear by the
Pentagon's two top research
officials. DR.. Herbert F. York
and Roy w. johnson, at a news
conference. DR.. York Is the
Defense Departments research
and engineering head and is
former chief scientist of ARPA.
Mr.. Johnson heads the projects
agency.
The two officials at first de-
MED that a reorganization plan
which they described took
ARPA out Of space. Later, how
ever, they conceded that in the
context of space" as the word
is usually understood by the
public. ARPA indeed is on the
way out.
Individual space projects now
under ARPA supervision will
be transferred to the services
most intimately concerned. The
Air Force will be given eventual
responsibility for "the develop
ment, production and launch
ing of military space boosters, 4"

expensive space business. 1t
has long been the Air Forces
contention that space is prop
erly its job, and it has coined
the word "aerospace" to de-
scribe what it regards as Its
legitimate bailiwick.
-Four satellite projects were
marked specifically for early
transfer to the services. These
are:
l. Midas. a satellite for early
warning against ballistic mis-
siles. 1t goes to the Air Force
2. Samos, a reconnaissance
satellite system, to the Air

3. Transit, a satellite-borne
navigation system which
f1unked its first launching test
last Thursday, to the Navy.
4. Notus, a satellite-borne
communications system, to the
Army.

indicated that, while Project
Discoverer was not included in
the transfer list, it eventually
would go to the Air Force,
Discoverer is the series of
polar -orbiting satellites which
are regarded as the military
lead-up to a man-in-space
program.

of ARPA will mean that the

slight movement in the East
German position on West Ber-
lin and suspect it may fore
shadow a certain moderation
In Soviet Premier Khrushchev's
position when he meets with
President Eisenhower at Camp
David this week end.
They do not expect the shift
to be great enough to permit
the President to recommend II
to Americas allies, but they
think 1t might give some hope
that further Big Four negotia-
tons would be fruitful.
East German Communist
Leader Walter Ulbricht. in q
major policy speech to his
central committee last Satur-
day, has switched from advo-
eating immediate withdrawal Of
all Western troops from West
Berlin. Instead he speaks OF q
"step-by-step reduction" as "ar
obvious need"
Treaty Talk Dropped
He also omits for the first
time all mention Of a separate
peace treaty between East Ger
many and the Soviet Union, Q
move Premier Khrushchev and
East German ofncials have
been threatening since they
trumped UP the Berlin crisis
last November.
President Eisenhower hai
made 1t clear that his price for
going to a summit conference
will be removal Of all threats
to West Berlin, such as the
separate-peace-treaty gambit
which could lead to an East
German cutoff Of free Berlin'i
economic lifelines with the
West and East.
Mr.. Ulbricht still claims
"West Berlin lies on the ter
ritory of the German Demo-
cratic Republic"
But officials here have been
struck by his mild tone which
leads them to suspect Premier
Khrushchev has passed the
word to tone down the threats.
Provisional Solution OKd
I'VE understand very well
that the West Berlin question
cannot be solved all at once, .
Mr.. Ulbricht said, according
to the text Of his address now
available here. This involves
q development process. Hence
we would welcome 1t II an
agreement were to be reached
between Nikita Sergeyevich
Khrushchev and President Eli
senhower on q provisional
solution regarding West Ber-
lin."
The most American officials
dare to hope is that the milder
tone indicates the Soviet bloc
is preparing the way to reopen
negotiations on Germany and
Berlin after the Eisenhower
Khrushchev exchange Of visits
The President and Secretary
Of State Herter still will re-
quire more preparation at the

feverish preparations proceeded

a huge brown tent in the farm
yard.
Thousands Of persons, in.

lined the route along Highway

Coon Rapids. The children
waved and cheered for the
broadly beaming Communist
boss. The Soviet Premier gave
no sign that he noticed a gray

American flag draped in black.
Premier Tramps Fields
En- route the Khrushchev
party stopped at one of the sew
eral Garst farms along the
highway, where workers were
busily harvesting a crop Of
grain sorghum.
Mr.. Khrushchev showed keen
interest in the proceedings. He
tramped through the field with
his host. asking Mr.. Garst all
sorts Of questions about the
crop and the machinery used to
harvest 1t.
Mr.. Khrushchev's look of ia
tigue began to drop away and
was replaced by one Of eager
ness as he questioned Mr.. Garst
about the methods he used to
feed hogs and chickens.

meeting was called to order
by Mrs. Paul Jones who well
coined the group and told of
the reestablishment of t h e
Chester Branch Library. The
first branch had to be discon-
tinued because of lack of
space in the Chester school.
Mrs. Jones introduced Roger
Franklin, of Chester, who is
an English teacher in May
field Junior High school. Mr..
Franklin in his brief talk de-
plored the fact that so few
people read books. He asked
why isn't book reading a
thing that one does?" also
why is it necessary to or
ganize adults into study
groups to get them to read?
He said the answer to t h
question, What is a good
Eook?" was that it was good
if it performs a service to
you. He suggested that all
read the book, How to Live
on Twenty four Hours a
Day" by Arnold Bennett.
The public library ranks
with schools and churches,
stated Mr.. Franklin. He clos
ed by suggesting that people
