HEADLINE PERSONALITY
Abboud's Sudan Goal
Growth and Friends

When 1t. Gen. Ibrahim Alb
boud seized control of the SUI
dan one night in November.
1858. there was hardly a ripple
in Khartoum. the capital city,
or anywhere else in the coun-
try. No one was killed Or even
jailed. One loiterer who per-
sisted in defying a sentry suf-
fered a bayonet wound in the
arm. but then he. went away
quietly.
Since then the Supreme
Council of the Armed Forces
through which President Alb
boud runs the largest country
in Africa has licked along
without a hitch. The operating
budgets continue to produce
SURPRISES. Economic develop
ment is proceeding at modest
pace. internationally, things
have been placid, and Presi-
dent Abboud's official visit here
this week is intended to pre-
serve the calm relations be-
tween the United States and
the Sudan.
Ties With Egypt Cordial
Even relations with the Su-
dams volatile neighbor, Egypt,
are good. President Nassar's
one attempt to persuade some
Sudanese along Egypt's border
to vote in the referendum
establishing the United Arab
Republic had blown over be-
fore Gen. Abboud took over, so
the two strong men of neigh
boring states have been cordial.
They exchanged visits in 1860
and seemed to enjoy them
selves.
President Abboud is short of
stature, rounded but solid, and
so completely devoted to his
work that he has no hobbies.
He does not smoke; his Moslem
religion forbids drinking Of
spirits. Once in a great while
he appears at a soccer game in
Khartoum. but more in an Of
ficial or ceremonial capacity
than as a fan.
Almost 81, Gen. Abboud is
beyond the usual retirement
age for Sudanese. but there has
been no hint he intends to step
down. No one has noticed a
successor being groomed.
Pushes Development
Meanwhile, he is going about
developing the Sudan's irriga-
ton work, improving her trans
portation to bring greater CO.
hesion among the 10 million
people scattered around a ma
ton one-third the size of the
United States, developing tan
neries, sugar refineries. spin
ming and weaving mills and
similar plants to take advan-
tage of home produced raw
materials. and keeping the
Sudan out of trouble interna-
tionally.

Comet to Be Named After Pan Am Navigator

SEATTLE R - A comet dis covered early Sunday by Stewart Wilson, Seattle, navigator for Pan American World Airways, on a flight home from Honolulu, will be named for him.
 The naming, Comet Wilson, Monday was announced by liar yard Observatory, Cambridge, Mass, to which Wilson wired a report Sunday, his wife said here. Comet Wilson has an as- tronomical magnitude of 3, which means to layman much bright CT than the Milky Way, the obser- vatory said.
 Wilson, 34, was on his way here today from Fairbanks, and had not been notified of the con- firmation of his discovery.
 He noticed it at about 31,O00 feet just before dawn on his way home from Honolulu" Mrs. Will son said.
 "He was all excited and made small bet with the captain that it was a comet. They thought it was the Northern Lights"
 The discovery was confirmed later by Mcdonald Observatory, Fort Davis, Tex, and another pilot flying over Arizona.

Kennedy to Address
 Nation Tuesday on Measures He Has Decided

WASHINGTON lR - President Kennedy, after another weekend on Cape Cod, returned today to the White House to tie down de- tails of the major address he will make to the nation Tuesday night.
 That speech, to be broadcast nationally on television and radio, will reveal what measures he has decided are necessary for the na- ton to face up to the Soviet threat to Berlin and world peace. He will tell Congress on We'd nesday what action he hopes it will take to carry out his de- ciSions.
 There have been reports that Kennedy was considering adding two or three billion dollars to his $43-billion defense budget.
 Word has spread that he was considering such steps as calling out reserves and National Guards men, increasing their training or service, expanding the draft and Army manpoWer and buying more arms for conventional forces, pull ing some ships from the ''mothball fleet" calling for a special tax increase and trying to persuade the allies to take parallel steps.
 The White House has tended off all efforts to clarify details.

Soviet TraWler
 Sighted Near Spot Of Capsule Landing g

CAPE CANAV5RAL, Fla R - A Soviet trawler equipped with radar reportedly cruised within 20 miles of the spot where astro- naut Virgil Grissom's space cap sule landed in the Atlantic Ocean.
 That was the gist of reports from a National Aeronautics and Space Administration official and another source Sunday.
 There was no indication steps were being planned to prevent this happening during another sub- orbital flight. Soviet trawl- CTS have been seen many times off the United States coast in re- cent months.
 It. Col. John A. Powers, per sonal spokesman for the astro- nauts, reported recovery forces saw the traWler in the general area of the impact zone Friday.
 James E. Webb, NASA Admin istrator, was asked about the re- ports that Soviet trawlers had been sighted during a TV-radio interview in Washington
 For Grissom the big adventure began with the roar of the 78,000- pound thrust Redstone rocket al 7:20 a. m. It ended 16 minutes later in the Atlantic Ocean after Grissom reached an altitude O 188 miles and had flown like |; bullet 303 miles down range iron here.
 At the end there was nea tragedy.
 The side hatch on the spac, capsule, Liberty Bell 7, secured by 70 explosive bolts, blew of prematurely. The capsule subse- quently sank in 16,800 feet of water.
 A verbatim transcript of Gris- som's news conference Saturday indicated that he was much closer to drowning that has been gen. erally realized.
