her other homes along the

IT IS IMPOSSIBLE to
imagine what havoc the storm,
Donna, did the property in
that part of Florida, 1t ripped
full sections of sturdy houses
and the ruins were scattered
all over the place. Most of Mrs.
Downey's antique Italian and
French furniture was gone
with no trace. Great groves of
palm trees (she planted at
least 1000 every year, were
blown to bits.
MRS. DOWNEY said she re-
fuses to feel sorry for herself
because she is one of the for
tunate persons who has other
property and other means. She
said there are hundreds of
families in that area who were
completely ruined financially
by the loss of all property, in.

IN THE MEANTIME, Mrs.
Downey is staying at the Fair

She had turned over her beau,

Senator Kennedy hoped to
get a vote on the Holland
amendment today and then to
dispose of more than three
dozen other proposals to change
his labor backed bill-with the
objective Of passing the meas
ure Saturday.
FavOrs Delaying Vote
But Senator Holland indi-
Gated he favored delaying the
vote on his amendment until
Monday.
Senator Kennedy remarked
that the Senate has a heavy
work load in this reelection
session, and urged that action
not be held UP by excessive de-
bate on the minimum wage bill.
Senator Goldwater, Republican
of Arizona, replied that he has
no intention of filibustering in
leading the fight against the
Kennedy bill. but he served
notice that he would object to
any proposal to limit debate.
If Senator Kennedy decides
to speed up action. and If he
is confident that he has the
support to win test votes, he
could move to table the opposi-
tion's amendments. The tabling
motion Immediately stops de.
bate.
The Kennedy will would raise
the minimum wage for 23.7
million workers who now are
covered from 81 to S1.25 an
hour in three annual steps. 1t
also would extend coverage to
about 5 million of the 20 mil
lion workers who now are ex-
cluded. raising them to $l.25

INTERPRETIVE REPORT

had never placed in the sky the
sort of rejecting beacon needed
to avert the impending world
wide communications famine.
Until Echo I, ample trans
Atlantic telephone circuits and
eventual worldwide televislon
service remained in the realm
of fantasy.
The two feats will be re-
garded, with hindSight of a few
years hence. as only crude be-
ginnings. But they are, by
1960's standards, solid techno-
logical achievements.
Propaganda Stressed
They have an additional vir-
tue, too. They remove from
American space technologists
the onus of self-consciousness
vis-a-vis the Russians. Regard
less of the relative propaganda
impact of past Soviet and
American space coups, this fact
remains: The Discoverer and
Echo f1rsts involve an exquisite
precision which Russian space
feats have not yet demon
started.
The Echo message, in PreSi-
dent Eisenhower's voice, showed
refreshing appreciation of the
propaganda value of space.
The satellite balloon which has
reflected these words may be
used freely by any nation for
similar experiments in its own
interest" the President said.
In this proclamation Mr.. Eli
senhower was Offering to the
world that which he could not
withhold; anyone with a suffi-
GENTLY powerful transmitter re-
ceiver system-including even
we'll favored radio hams-can
bounce signals off Echo.
But the Russians have offered
the world less on many occa-
sions. and have made quite a
name for themselves in so
doing.
There is one more point of
significance. No brighter star
has ever been placed in the
heavens by mortal hands. This
should have some impact. in
