CAPE CANAvERAL, Fla,

PARIS, April 13.-We hope
that this time the problem of
finding a cook for Washing
tons Rive Gauche Restaurant
has been solved. Anyway we
did our best.
Last night, along with nine
other jurors. we ate eighteen
omelettes in about as many
minutes. And we are prepared
to certify that Nine. Alice
Blot, mother of IL who won
the competition, can at least
cook hell out of an egg.
1t all started a few weeks
ago when the French radio
started broadcasting an appeal
for a replacement for chef of
the Rive Gauche who had quit
his job. One gathered that the
honor of la cuisine Francaise
was at stake as well as a salary
of $500 a month.
The search turned up some
five hundred aspiring candi-
dates. OF these, IA we're chosen

The deadline for payment of
both Federal and District in
come taxes has been extended
from Friday until Monday for
Washington residents.
Here's why:
The Internal Revenue Serv-
ice had announced that the
deadline for payment of the
Federal income tax would be
ext n d ed until Monday in
Maryland, IL other States and
three United States territories
where Good Friday is a legal
holiday. IRIS is discussing ex-
tending the deadline across the
Nation.
Since District residents send
their returns to the District
Internal Revenue Office at Bal
timore, they have been blank
eted under the extension.
And today the District Com
missioners decided to extend
the deadline for payment of
local income taxes until Mon
day to avoid confusion of sep
arate filing dates.
Friday is not a legal holiday
in the District.
Monday is also the deadline
for payment of Maryland State
income taxes. The final day for

LONDON, April IS (AP).-
Britain is abandoning her pro-
gram to build flxed-site rockets
capable of delivering nuclear
weapons to an aggressor's soil.
Defense Minister Harold Wat
kinSon told the House of Com
mons today the military is dis
continuing development of the
Blue Streak, a 2,500-mile-range
missile which so far has cost
1882 million. Mr.. Wilkinson
said the money invested in Blue
Streak will not be wasted IF
it is decided to go ahead with
(it) as a launcher for a space
satellite.
1t thus appeared possible
that Britain might still try to
stay in the world space race.
(In Washington, President
Eisenhower was reported to
have assured Prime Minister
Macmillan that Britain will
be able to buy the projected
new United States nuclear
rocket Skybolt as soon as it
comes into production.
(That assurance growing
out of a discussion when Mr..
Eisenhower and Mr.. Mac
milan met at Camp David.
Md, two weeks ago, ap-
parently is behind the de-
cision to abandon the Blue
Streak.
(Mr. Eisenhower and Mr..
Macmillan also talked about
the Polaris submarine mis-
sile but highly placed officials
said they decided against
making a firm decision on the
Polaris now. However, that
decision did not close the
door on the possibility of
Britain's later getting the
PolariS.)
B0mbers Effective
Mr.. Watkinson made clear
that Britain'S strategic bomber
force will remain effective for
several years as the vehicle for
possible delivery of nuclear
weapons.
The complete cost of the
original missile program of
Prime Minister Macmillan's
government would have been
between STA billion and 81 $780,
900, 900, he said.
Authoritative sources said
this country also hopes, wher-
ever possible, to pool its re-
search. development and pro-
duction resources with her allies
in manufacturing 2,500-mile-
range rockets.
United States officials OBJ
viously we're well informed in
advance of Britain's announce
ment.
Vulnerable to Attack
They said it boiled down to
the fact that the British were
giving UP Blue Streak because
it would be outdated by the
time they could make it op-
irrational. The Blue Streak,
they said. would be out of date
because it would operate from
fixed bases, like the present
United States intermediate and
long-range missiles-and there
fore be vulnerable to enemy
nuclear attack against known
targets.
The Skybolt and Polaris are
radically different weapons sys-
TENS in that they are designed
to operate from mobile bases.
