: Orchestros Resolve
Clash Over Hall Date

fling and give Philadelphia
clear title to February IL.
Instead of making a short
tour to Virginia the first week
in February, as originally
scheduled, the National will
take the trip the second week
and play at Constitution Hall
February 5 and 6.
Mr.. Kohn also was able to
solve the booking problem that
had violinist Henryk Szeryng
scheduled as soloist with the
National on February IL. He
will appear instead on Febru-
ary 26 and 27.
Now all Mr.. Kohn has to do
is find another guest soloiSt
for February SIS and all that
remains for the Philadelphia
is to find a replacement date
for January 8. Then there can
be music without end.
The final discordant note
was removed today when Roger
Hall, the Philadelphia man
ager, complimented Mr.. Kohn
for joining with him in the
spirit of compromise and ex-
pressed depreciation to him
for this gracious gesture on
the part of the National SYM
phony."

Judicial Conference Committee
on supporting personnel.
Judge Wright, a native of
New Orleans, is so years old.
For the last six years he has
been involved in series of de-
segregation decisions that have
set him at odds with life long
friends and resulted in threats
against him and his family.
These decisions included a
plan of gradual desegregation
of New Orleans public schools
and of city parks, buses and
sports events, plus restoration
of hundreds of Negroes to vot-
ing lists.
A graduate of Loyola La.)
Law School, he has been a
school teacher, a United States
attorney. a wartime officer in
the Coast Guard and an attor-
ney in private practice. He was
appointed to the bench in 1949
at the age of 38.
InciSive in speech, he has one
of the country's best records
for number of cases cleared,
and trials in his court move at
a brisk pace.
Judge Prettyman also has
made Nationwide impact with
his service on the bench, two
years of which were as chief
judge. He stepped down from
that job in october, 1860.
His special interest was the
judicial conferences which
Congress created as a means
of improving the administra-
ton of justice.
Under his leadership there
nave been many reforms ana
new programs, including the
District Legal Aid Agency to
provide free counsel for those
too poor to retain lawyers.
! His weight also was thrown
behind the Administrative Con-
ference he heads as a perma-
nent watchdog over Federal
agencies.
Judge Prettyman traditional
ly occupied a position on the
court between the liberal anc
conservative jurists.
A native of Lexington, Va, he
was appointed to the bench II
l945. Before then he haC
worked as a newspaperman
was an infantry captain ir

sci of the Internal Revenue
Service and served as DiStric

hand in the heated controversy
for the first time yesterday in
the face of growing congress
Stonal opposition to United
States support of current U. N.
operations against Katanga
and a wide-open rift in the
Western alliance.
The Belgian Ambassador to
the United States, Louis Schey-
ven, told neWsmen yesterday
after visit to Undersecretary
Ball that Belgium believes the
U. N. operations in Katanga
exceed U. N. authority and
should stop Immediately.
Belgium appealed to the
United States to use its offices
to seek an immediate end to
the fighting in the Congo.
U. S. Support for U. N. Hit
This move came after reports
from the NATO foreign minis
tiers meeting in Paris that the
European allies of the United
States are virtually unanimous
in their opposition to United
States support of the U. N,
operation.
This opposition is believed to
be based on a desire to pro-
tect European financial inter-
ests in Katanga, a desire not to
have the United Nations exceed
its authority for peaceful con-
citation" and a desire to main
tain a strong "anti-Commu-
mist" Katanga bastion in the
Congo.
Several Congress members
have accused the Kennedy ad-
ministration of promoting U. N
suppression of Mr.. Tshombe
who is considered strongly pro-
Western and anti-CommuniSt.
Representative Miller, Re-
publican of New York, chair

Space Belt
Not Deadly,
Moon Shows
BY the Associated Press

Explorer XII has indicated
that there are fewer deadly
protons in the outer Van Allen
radiation belt than previously
believed and that they will not
be a hazard to manned space
travel.
Earlier satellites had dis
closed that there are two
doughnut- shaped belts of radi-
alton around the earth, one
about 600 to 1000 miles high
and the other 10000 miles or
more.
The new information was re-
ported by the National Aero
nautics and Space Administrd-
ton today in an announcement
that Explorer XII. launched
from Cape Canaveral. Fla, last
August Is. suddenly stopped
transmitting December 6, many
months sooner than had been
expected. In spite Of that fail
ure NASA called it more scicn-
tifically productive than all pre-
viouS satellites combined.
Electronic equipment aboard
the 83-pound satellite was de-
signed for an active life OF
about a year. The satellite is
expected to stay in orbit more
than two years.
, NASA scientists said data
sent back by the satellite S
two-watt transmitter indicated
there are one-thousandth as
many electrons in the outer
Van Allen radiation belt as
previously thought.
DR.. Frank Mcdonald. prof.
ect scientist for NASA's God
dard Space Flight Center at
Greenbelt, Md, said the satel-
lite had demonstrated that
although protons are the major
constituent of the outer belt,
the concentration is not lethal
The energy Of the protons
in this belt is below l mil
lion electron volts and is no
hazard to manned space
flight" NASA said.

mlnatlOn even Tor some areas
not necessarily oriented our
way" said Senator Hicken-
looper.
Here is a situation where a
going economy does not want
to be subjected to the left wing
and possibly Communist control
OF other parts of the Congo
and wants to be oriented to the
West. But we are apparently
supporting a move to compel
Katanga to subject itself to the
left-wing group in Leopoldville
and at Stanleyville.
80 far as Katanga Is con-
cerned, it has just as much
reason from the standpoint of
area and location as many of
the other smaller, less populous
and less prosperous countries in
Africa to demand independence.
Course Held Alarming
Il think it should be very
significant and very alarming
that we apparently have joined
with Russia in trying to force
Katanga back under Leopold
vile when we know Russia has
consistently created turmoil in
the Congo, and has tried to set
up a Communist regime in the
Congo.
Il think 1t is also a serious
situation when we find we have
broken with our traditional
allies and joined with the
Kremlin."

The attempt to bring on this

TwO-China Plan Proposed
Cambodia. Ceylon and In

amendment to the Soviet reso-
luton which would change it
from its drastic one-China So

in which both Nationalist China
and Red China would be given
seats in the General Assembly.
The General Assembly would
decide, under the proposed am
mendment, that "the represen-
tatives of the government of
the Peoples Republic of China
be seated in the United Nations
and all its organs" with no
mention of ousting Nationalist
China.
In the two weeks of debate
on Chinese representation.
there were frequent suggestions
that the General Assembly ap-
point a committee to study the
problem and report back next

1t was not clear whether a

For this was a moment of dedi-
eating, with due credit, a $2.5-million
American-made steel galvanizing facil-
ity that is being put into operation at
the big Lenin (sic) Steel Works in the
Polish community. It's purchase was
made possible through the granting of
United States dollar credits to Poland
under our economic cooperation pro-
gram. Present to cut the ceremonial
ribbon was our Ambassador, Jacob D.
Beam, and acting Polish Premier Piotr
JaroSzewicz, who has been recorded in
the past as saying some unfriendly
things about American political per-
SonalitieS.
All was friendly at the steel works,
though, as Mr. Beam noted that Amer
ican aid to Poland now has reached
total of $426 million, that Polish
American trade has increased and that
there may be more demonstrations of
economic cooperation. Mr.. Jaroszewicz
and associates responded in kind. We
hope the bright finish will not wear off
either the steel or the words.

'On Your Mark

AS most fathers have learned, the
occasional admonition to junior citizens
that they should spend less time sitting
in physical exercise is generally un-
rewarding. Stories of a youthtime spent
in rugged pursuits are apt to make little
impression, and the less so when the
Story-teller-aS so often is the case-is
unable to conceal an out-size waist.
Even so, the merit in physical fit
ness is indiSputable and it is not at all
beneath the proper concern of a Presi-
dent of the United States to make a
sober appeal to today's youngsters-and
to the parents and teachers who might
help persuade them to heed ito work
harder at making their bodies stronger.
Without lecturing our children about
the SoftneSs Of today's American life,
for which the older generation must
really take the responsibility, It is well
to remind them, as the President did,
that comparative tests show greater
stamina and capacity for endurance
among the boys and girls Of some other
countries. So we indorse the Presidents
suggestion, including the idea of at
least fifteen minutes of vigorous ac-
tivity" in each schooldayS program. In
fact, pressed hard enough, we might

al by the Senate testifies to
the high-minded impartiali-

The Economic ChoIIenoe

President Kennedy'S news confer
ence remarks on the current state of
the economy sum up a complex and
challenging dilemma.
The President announced, for ex-
ample, that Gross National Product
the total output of goods and services
had reached in the second quarter Of
this year an annual rate of $515 billion.
This is a yearly-rate increase Of $14
billion over that posted in the preceding
three months and tops the previous
record Of $505 billion set in the second
quarter Of 1860. He referred also to
another record high, announced day
earlier by the Commerce Department,
the climb of total personal income of
all Americans in June to yearly rate of
nearly SAT- billion. This was an improve
ment Of more than $13 billion over the
rate in February, the lowest recorded
in the 1960-61 recession. Finally, Mr..
Kennedy mentioned the Federal Reserve
Board Index Of Production increase of
two points in June to level Of ITO, only
one point below the all-time record
reached in January, 1860.
All of these statistics demonstrate
that the recovery which began heSitant-
ly six months or so ago has gathered
strength and momentum. And while
some business analysts still feel that it
is lacking in zest, there is confidence
generally that the upward trend will
not be interrupted during the remainder
Of the year at least.
At the same time, Mr.. Kennedy
reminded his conference that there is
another side of the coin-that unem-
ployment remains diStreSsingly high.
Latest official figures show that nearly
56 million persons, or about 68 per cent
of the total civilian work force, were
jobleSS in mid-June. This represents a
human and social problem that cannot
be accepted casually by either the public
or private sectors of our economy. The
difficulty OF solving it, however, becomes
more clear with the citing of other facts.
In recent years, the total labor force has
been growing faster than ever before
and the full impact of the postwar high
birth rate has not yet been felt Increas-
ing automation and other technical in
novationS are permitting higher produc-
ton by fewer people. And on that same
mid-June date, employment was at an
all-time high-juSt as all these other
favorable indiceS cited by Mr.. Kennedy
are moving to new peaks. The dilemma,
if it may be so stated, is how to improve
on improvement.
