Black Mice Turn
White in Orbit,
Moscow Says

LONDON. Aug. % APP
Black mice turned white in
outer space. Radio Moscow said
today in a puZZling report on
the Soviet animal venture into
orbit.
The broadcast was telling of
the news conference in Mos
COW yesterday when four mice
two white and two black
went on display along with the
two star performers, Belka and
Strelka. the dogs who came
back from space.
The radio said the black mice
were of a special breed. highly
susceptible to external in
f1uenceS. and high energy rays
turned their coats from black
into white.
This allowed the scientists
to determine the hazaroS of
cosmic radiation" it said.
But only yesterday the Soviet
news agency Tass stated that
there had been no change In
the pigmentation Of the mice's
dark skin.
Oleg Gazenka, worker in
the Soviet Academy of Sciences,
said the black mice would grow
white hairs if they were affect
ed by cosmic rays.

by the Senator's multimillion-
aire father and former Ambas-
sador to Great Britain, Joseph
P. Kennedy. sr., of Boston.
S12 Million Given Away
Since then, it has given away
about $l2 million to various
projects. schools. hospitals and
homes. according to Robert F.
Kennedy. the Senator's brother,
who is foundation president.
"All of us contribute to the
foundation every year." he said.
That, along with the money
earned by the foundation as
sets. makes it possible for the
foundation to spend about 81
million annually now"
Robert Kennedy said the
foundation operates as a fam
lily enterprise with no payroll
and no expenses.
In information supplied by
the family to The Foundation
Directory" a 1860 publication
by the Russell Sage Founda-
ton. the Kennedy Foundation
is listed as having $6,191, ,768 in
assets on December 81, 1858.
Senator Kennedy is the sole
trustee of the foundation. His
sister. Mrs. Eunice Shriver, is
listed as vice president and her
husbond. R. Sargent Shriver of
Chicago, is listed as executive
director.
The directory describes the
foundations purposes and ac-
tivities as: Primarily in

tutions. especially for medical
research into problems of mem

Richard Arens, staff director
Of the House Un-American Ac-
tivities Committee, will become
a commissioner of the United
States Court of Claims here
early in September. an officer OF
the court has revealed.
Mr.. Arens, under criticism by
several members of Congress
and by some editorial writers
for his management of the
committee, denied earlier this
year that he had been asked
to resign and was considering
quitting his post.
Wayne Roberts. chief deputy
clerk of the court, said that Mr..
Arens had been offered the job
last January and accepted it.
A Claims Court commission
er, Mr.. Roberts said. has trial
functions similar to those Of
examiners for regulatory agen-
cies.
The 13 commissioners are
preliminary trial judges" Mr..
Roberts said, and listen to wit
neSses and accept evidence "of
fact" A preliminary decision
is rendered by a commissioner
in q case, and he then sends
this to the five judges for a final
verdict.
Mr.. Arens Joined the Un-
American Activities Committee
in May, 1856, after 10 years on
Capitol Hill, most of them with
the Senate Judiciary Commit
tee and its Internal Security
Subcommittee, which devotes
itself chiefly to exposure of

japanese Papers
PIoy Up Story Of
Potsdum PurIey

TOKYO. Aug. % (AP). -
Major Tokyo newspapers today
carried black headlines saying
the United States as well as
Russia ignored Japanese peace
feelers prior to the end Of
World War II.
Big play was given to Wash
ington reports Of hitherto secret
details of the 1945 Potsdam
meeting between ex-President
Truman and Joseph Stain.
So far there was no official
comment on the details pur-
porting to show that as early
as the PotSdam conference in
July, 1945, Mr.. Truman knew
Japan had made peace over
lures.
The generally accepted ver-
sion in Japan has been that
Russia kept Japan'S peace ma
neuvers to itself in order to
drive a better bargain with the
United States on Soviet par
ticipation in the Pacific war.
One result of the disclosures
in Japan may be to deepen a
certain amount of antipathy
toward Mr.. Truman. Many
Japanese criticize the former
President for ordering the
atomic bombings of Hiroshima
and Nagasaki.
The four-column headline in
Ashahi, Japan's largest news
paper. was Truman also ig-
nored Japan's maneuvering to
end war through Soviet media
ton" Tokyo Shimbun had a
banner saying "Japan's peace
maneuvering ignored; Truman
agreed with Stain"

Presidential candidate John
F. Kennedy and his family ap-
parently like to spend some OF
their wealth helping needy stu
dents in the midst of contro-
verSy.
The Republicans have made
a campaign issue out Of the
Kennedy foundations $l00, ,000
grant to transport $50 East At
rican students to American COL
leges this fall.
But in 1851, the Kennedys
were the anonymous benefac-
tors who provided scholarships
for some Of the West Point
cadets who had been expelled
in an exam -cribbing scandal
that rocked the country and
decimated the Army's football
team.
This was disclosed by an au-
thoritative source in the Ken
nedy campaign organization
during a quest for information
about the little-known role of
the the Joseph P. Kennedy Jr.
Foundation.
Some 80 or IS of the ousted
football players took advantage
of the money to continue their
education at other schools" the
Kennedy official said.
Unaware Of Benefactor
Most of them were reported
to be unaware of the source of
the money, since the funds
were made available anony-
mously.
They were told that II they
wanted to go on in school, there
was a benefactor who would
help them out" he said.
Many of these enrolled at
Notre Dame University. The
amount of financial aid was
not disclosed.
Not all Of the ousted West
Pointers had actually cheated, !"
the Kennedy official explained.
Many were expelled simply
because they knew the cribbing
was going on and had not re-
ported it."
He implied the Kennedys
were interested in helping these
varsity players.
The Kennedys come by theil
football sympathies naturally
The Democratic nominee played
junior varsity football at Har-
ward. His two brothers, Robert
F. and Edward CTed), were
varsity ends at Harvard. Also q
Harvard footballer-though moi
a letter man-was their late
brother, Joseph. jr., a Navy
lieutenant whose plane ex-
ploded over the English chan
mel August IL, 1914.
The Kennedy foundation was
set up in Joseph's memory in
l946.
80 Students Expelled
Among those ousted in the
West Point cribbing case was
the son of head coach Earl
Red Blaik. Bob Blaik, Army
quarterback, admitted he was
one. Of those dismissed. Col
Blaik said the clusters cut his
varsity squad from IS members
to two. In all. 80 students were
expelled over cribbing Sytem
in which exam information was
supplied by some cadets to
football players.

rights. President Truman Or

He attacked President Eli
senhower, Vice President Nixon
and Postmaster General Sum-
merfleld for not supporting
the rs per cent classified and
8.4 per cent postal employe pay
raises enacted by Congress over
the Presidents veto. Senator
Johnston praised the Demo-
cratic leadership in the House
and Senate for their part in
getting the pay raises enacted.
There were many who
helped" Sen ator Johnston
said. There were a few who
didn't. Among those who
helped, I don't seem to find
Dick. Arthur and Ike. But
don't let that disturb you, for
I-don't think you will have to
contend with them much
longer. I think that shortly
they will be patrons of the
post offices in Whittier, Flint
and Gettysburg"
Senator Johnston also urged
all Government and postal
workers to join unions.
He criticized Federal and
postal employees who do not
belong to unions. declaring it
was the unions that led the
way for the successful pay
raise drive as we'll as other
employe legislation.
Non-union Federal employees
"are not doing their part" Sen
ator Johnston declared.
I'm my opinion that Is not
right" the Senator added.
They are taking a free ride
on the backs of those of you
who are doing your part.
Il would like to say to them
here and now: Get in the game
join up and do your part
In other words. If they expect
to sit at your table, they should
provide part of the food"
Senator Johnston pledged his
continuing efforts to see that
Federal and postal workers "are
entitled to e proper wake for
their labor"
Employees also are entitled to
decent working conditions" he
added. You deserve respect.
You should derive satisfaction
from knowing that you are re-
garded as a human being and
not just a machine.

nated"-with mixed success
by the Joint Chiefs. Now one
man will select the targets for
strategic war weapons of all
services, with the approval of
the Joint Chiefs.
Second, the new system will
insure that more weapons are
always ready for use. Already
the Navy has agreed to keep a
minimum of two aircraft car
riers fully within range of So
Wet strategic targets at all
times. 1t used to be an on and
off schedule.
Also, Polaris submarines,
when they enter service later
this year, will have their on sta
ton time and their targets
regulated by orders from out
side the Navy. And Air Force
tactical bomers, which in many
ways would have fought their
own strategic war. now will stop
duplicating other peoples work.
Retaliation Philosophy
Third, it confirms the ad-
ministration's philosophy OF
massive retaliation.
Though never explained
publicly, the philosophy is this:
American nuclear war weapons
cannot in fact destroy the bulk
of the enemy's long range strik-
ing forces. so most of our weap-
ons would simply hit Soviet
cities. This should deter them
from starting a war. But if
deterrence does fail then this
country will be destroyed along
with the Soviet Union.
The new targeting decision
assumes that once the Presi-
dent pushes the button to start
the war, everything from then
on will move automatically &C
cording to pre-arranged basic
contingency plans. There will
be no improvisation or maneu-
vering for advantage. We just
throw everything all at once at
the enemy.
The Air Force plan to give
direction of the war to one
unified command was rejected
because the Joint Chiefs and
the administration believe no
one would be needed to direct
massive. automatic devastation.
Even the Air Force on the
final show down voted against
a unified fighting command for
all out war.

BENG hailed as one of our

The President responded to
the dentists letter, making an
evaluation of Lee, both as a
military leader and a postwar
citizen.
The Presidents answer said,
Gen. Robert E. Lee was, in
my estimation, one of the
supremely gifted men produced
by our Nation. He believed un-
swervingly in the constitutional
validity of his cause which.
until 1865, was still an argu-
able question in America; he
was a poised and inspiring
leader. true to the high trust
reposed in him by millions of
his fellow citizens; he was
thoughtful yet demanding of
his officers and men; forebear-
ing with captured enemies but
ingenious unrelenting and per-
sonally courageous in battle.
and never disheartened by a
reverse or obstacle. Through
all his many trials, he re-
mained selfless almost to a
fault and unfailing In his
faith in God. Taken altogether,
he was noble as a leader and
as a man. and unsullied, as I
read the pages of our history.
From deep conviction I
simply say this: A nation OF
men of Lees calibre would be
uncomfortable in spirit and
soul. Indeed, to the degree that
present-day American youth
will strive to emulate his pains
