Of the feast of the Resurrection
Of Christ.
While adults are marking
Easter Sunday with religious
activity and displays of flnery,
children throughout the area
were discovering the secret ot
the Easter bunny and the de-
lights of the jelly bean, the
chocolate rabbit and gaily-
colored eggs.
The threat Of scattered
thundershowers this afternoon
was not expected to deter the
crowds from surprising yes
terday's crowds at the Tidal
Basin area to see the japanese
cherry blossoms. More than
250,O0O visitors and $4,000 cars
had been counted by yesterday
evening.
Traffic was still crawling
around the Tidal Basin at an
agonizing pace late last night,
as thousands of beauty lovers
took advantage of the clear
evening to view the blossoms
illuminated by huge search
lights.
10000 Come to Visit
Washington bulged with
more than 10000 out-of-town
visitors last night. according
to Clarence Arata, executive
director of the Greater Ma
tional Capital Committee. Ho-
tells and motels within a 20
mile radius of the city filled
the $4,000 available beds early.
The cherry blossoms drew
the biggest crowds yesterday,
and Park Police were prepared
for an even larger visitation
today. Supplemented by Met
ropolitan policemen, Park Po-
lice expected to mobilize foot
men, rockies, horse patrolmen
and motorized officers today
Heavy Traffic Expected
The blossoms dropped like
snowflakes onto the grass plots

VANDENBERG AIR FORCE
BASE, Calf. April 16 (AP).-
The capsule from the Discover
er XII satellite is probably still
in orbit" the Air Force an
nounced tonight.
A spokesman said that the
recovery force waiting for the
Instrumental capsule to fall
into the sea near Hawaii never
had a chance" to snare it
because it didn't come down.
The spokesman said:
Some unknown malfunction
occurred at a critical point just
after separation (of the cap
sule from the orbiting rocket
which carried it aloft).
"Telemetry data indicate
that the separated capsule is
probably still in orbit"
An earlier report from Hawaii
said a team of airplanes and
surface ships waiting to try for
the first recovery of anything
from an orbiting satellite had
heard radio signals from the
300-pound capsule.
Signal Varies
The signals were reported
from weak to good" leading to
the assumption that the in
strument package was elected
when the Discoverer was max
ing its 18th pass around the
earth and entered the atmos-
phere either sooner or a little
later than scheduled.
In addition to the aircraft
making up the air-snatch
team, at least two surface ships
equipped with helicopters, Navy
divers and search equipment
we're circling the Pacific Ocean
between Hawaii and Alaska to
find and pick UP the capsule
1t contains valuable informa-
ton about the 26-hour cruise
of the Discoverer through in
ner space.
Polar Election
The Discoverer was supposed
to have elected its scientific
payload as the satellite passed
over the north polar regions. Ar
intricate system of electronic
hydraulic and rocket powered
mechaniSms was then supposed
to have pointed the capsule
downward along trajectory
that would bring it down low
enough to prevent the instru-
ment package from suffering
damage from heat caused by
friction.
When the capsule was to have
reached about 10000 feet, Q
parachute was to have taker
over the job of slowing dowr
the instrument packet. 1t was
at this point that nine plane.
equipped with trailing snares
guided by four radar aircraft

clear program which should
provide France with a service
able weapon within the next few
years. Such help, in his view,
might be a valuable shortcut to
the goal, but not a substitute.
If such a proposal were made
officially, however, there is not
much doubt what the attitude
of SHAPE would be. Gen. Nor
stadt, by the very nature of
his job, is interested in what
Strengthens NATO as a whole.
In the case of the Polaris pro-
gram. this means missiles that
are assigned to the alliance
and under his command. 1t is
by no means clear how an
American contribution toward
an independent French deter
rent would help NATO fulfill
its own minimum weapons pri-
critics over the next few years.
Move Not Essential
This may be. perhaps, what
President Eisenhower would
call a parochial view. From a
military standpoint, however.
the assignment of Polaris mis-
siles to France, while desirable,
is not essential. AS in the case
of the Thors and Jupiters. they
can be stationed in countries
on the periphery of NATO on
terms that are agreeable to the
alliance as a whole.
On the other hand, strictly
military factors are not in this
case the whole story. The real
probelm is to weigh the prob
able effects of the decision one
way or another in political
terms. And here. the attitude of
the French government and its
spirit of cooperation within
NATO must be weighed against
the probable reaction elsewhere.
There is a strong feeling that
any preferential tr a t m e n t
given to France would quickly
result in demands for the same
treatment from West Germany
and Italy. There is concern over
the possibility that any speed
UP of the French nuclear pro-
gram would produce a similar
speedup of programs in a num-
Der Of other countries. And the
possibility that Russia would
help real China in a similar way
cannot be overlooked.
In short, the problem of salts
flying the French in the matter
of equipping NATO with the
new generation Of weapons is
a vastly complicated and deli
cate one. 1t is still in very
preliminary stages of discussion.
And arguments which tend to
increase i'll feeling or harden
attitudes at this stage are look
ed on as unfortunate by those
who hold the responsibility.

New Rocket Shoot Set
By Russians in Pacific

MOSCOW. June 90 (AP).-
The Russians plan to lob a new
series of powerful multi-stage
test rockets into the Central
Pacific next month about 1000
miles southwest Of Hawaii.
An announcement last night
said the new rocket shoot will
be held July 5-31 over a $4,000
square mile target area about
$50 miles farther to the south
east than the landing area of
Russia's first Pacific rocket
tests last January.
In their first test, the Rus
SLAMS said, they fired a rocket
some 1000 miles and came
within a mile of the target. The
United States subsequently fired
a super Atlas rocket 1900 miles,
from Cape Canaveral past the
southern tip of South Africa.
Russia warned other nations
to keep their ships and planes
out of the test area, which lies
about 200 miles west OF Ameri-
can-held Palmyra Island and
within 600 miles of Christmas
Island, where the British h
touched of their first hydrogen
bomb.
Tass News Agency, which
issued the announcement, said
the rocket used in the July
tests will not be equipped with
the final stage. This apparently
meant they will not carry war;
heads.
The announcement came a
few hours after Premier Nikita
Khrushchev called on a group
of Soviet military school cadets
to master the conditions of a
rocket and nuclear war which
is what the imperialist aggres-
sors are preparing"

spot. Senator Humphrey re-
piled: mo commitments have

Senator Humphrey said he is
cognizant that similar feelers
by associates of Senator Ken
nedy have been put to others
who might be interested in the
vice presidential nomination.
The Minnesota Senator quit
his own race for the Demo-
cratic presidential nomination
after being defeated by Sen
ator Kennedy in the Wisconsin
and West Virginia primaries.
He estimated he has about so
delegate votes pledged to him
for the presidential nomination.
However" he said, "I do
not consider these delegates a
factor in this. They have all
been told privately they will
have to find another candidate.
The only delegates pledged TO
me are staying by their own
choice"
Senator Humphrey saiG en-
phatically he does not believe
any prior discussions about
possible running mates would
be binding on the nominee for
the presidency.
Il am sure that if Senator
Kennedy is nominated for the
presidency he will make up his
own mind at the right time"
Senator Humphrey said. Il am
sure that what went on before
by friends and associates of his

is really important. The more
we know about plant metab-
olism, the better able we will
be to influence agricultural
methods"
If population trend estimates
are correct, new agricultural
methods will be needed desper-
ately before long. The predic-
ton of an eventually stable
world population of Z billion
means that in a century or so
there will be 212 times as many
mouths to feed as there are
today.
Increasing food crops by 21a
times is not even a minimum
goal; this would mean only that
today's worldwide level of
misery would be sustained. In
creasing food supplies by a
factor of FIVE while the popu-
lation increases 21a times would
be more like it.
One way to do this would be
to increase crop yields by i'm
proving fertilizers. Already, in
creased understanding of how
plants take up and use different
nutrient chemicals has been OBJ
tanned by tagging atoms in
various types of fertilizers.
Food Preservation
The possibility of using large
doses of gamma radiation to
process and preserve food has
received considerable attention.
A classic Army foul-up involv-
ing an diversified, poorly planned
pilot plant for food irradiation
has cast a pail over this idea,
at least temporarily, but some
experts believe it has definite
promise. 1t is known that spoil
age of perishaoles can be re-
duced and their useful shelf
life prolonged if they are ex-
posed to substantial gamma
doses.
High added cost of processing
foodStuffS has been raised as
an objection. So has the fact
that doses lethal to humans
must be administered to the
food, with possible incident
hazards to workers in food
plants. (There would be no
danger to consumers from in
duced radioactivity, as far as
anyone has been able to de-
termine.)
Optimists concede the cost
factor, but point out that if a
10 per cent increase in trans
portability and stability can
be irradiated into a fresh to-
mato at a cost of 3 to S per
cent of the tomatoes value, then
the return merits the invest
ment.
