 Dr. von Braun, German born scientist who developed the VIZ rocket of World War II, is direc- tor of the development operations division, Army Ballistic Missile Agency.

Also inspired by further
knowledge the debates have
given her is Washington busi-
ness executive Miss Mary
Bourke. president of the Lewis
Hotel Training School.
In her original opinion Miss
Bourke stressed the influence
of the debates on women's
"ear and = eye mindedness."
This has proven true, she af-
firmed. declaring her belief
that women are now 80 per
cent more informed on the
points of difference in the
political PHILOSOPHERS of the
candidates than ever before"
as the result of seeing and
hearing them.
In further assessment of
the effect of the debates on
women, Miss Bourke con-
cluded the debates augment
their reading and whets their
appetite to follow the issues
and take more interest in the
affairs of the country.

Elizabeth Edward. a lawyer
with the Federal Aviation
Agency. Quoting as her au-
tilority a national poll "for

give it as a pulse tester of
how the Nation will vote"
Miss Elward said, whereas
the candidates were meek
and neck" before the de-
bates, the same poll taken
after the first debate showed
Kennedy ahead but still not
so far that the yet small un-
decided vote couldn't turn
the tide the other way" Miss
Elward added, however, that
she thought that perhaps by
now virtually all the voters
have made up their minds.

"The fact that at all times,
even under pressure of some
petty personal question, they
have maintained a high de-
gree of dignity. I think has
been the one thing most ap-
preciated by the public" Mrs.
Ozbirn observed. She also
commented that she felt one
Of the "stabilizing factors" of
the debates was that "eyen
though the candidates have
been in disagreement in
many instances In their ap-
proach to, the solution of the

much accord on what those
issues and problems are"
In another general com
ment on the debates, Mrs.
Luigi Petrullo of Arlington,
member Of the board of the
League of Women Voters of
the United States, observed
that the fact that so many
people are listening when
there is so much competition
from baseball and Khru-

successful event. Mrs.
Petrullo said the league is
grateful that the debates are

that the candidates in debat-
ing the issues did not go
into them enough. I think
it was a good thing they
were brought before the pub
lie and that this very fact is
the overriding accomplish
ment of the debates. But 1
didn't find enough basic dis
agreements"
OF the disagreements she
did find, Miss Timberlake
said she felt the one over the
"oil issue" was more basic"
than the one over "Quemoy
and MatSu." OF the latter
she said, their words were in
disagreement but think if
ever put to the test their ac-
tions never would be in dis
agreement" On the other
hand, the university student
who halls from Texas, said
she felt that the views ex-
pressed on the oil issue will
either add to or take away
votes from either candidate"

same women last week how
they felt now about the in

whether they had changed

Oddly enough, the overall
opinion breakdown remained
about the same, but indi-
