the subcommittee effort to pin
down the extent of U. S. involve
ment in the Cuban invasion fiasco

Castro, like many others at the
gigantic rally, wore a big red

anti-aircraft guns, children with
balloons, workers and farmers.

of the Ice Classic, reported to-
day.
No changes in the ice condition
were seen over the weekend and

A keenly trained American will
try to get some sleep tonight
knowing that in the morning he
may rocket into space.
Sometime after dawn he may be
strapped into a space capsule
atop a relatively puny rocket.
Perhaps 100 minutes later the
Redstone rocket will fling him
115 miles up and 200 miles south
over the Atlantic. The experts
say the odds are 100 to l that he
will come through without harm.
This Redstone is less than a
tenth as powerful as the monster
rocket that shot Yuri Gagarin
on a space trip around the world
in 108 minutes last month.
Still, this is the first relative
ly safe step in a program that
will - before the year is out :
give an American the same
thrilling ride around the globe.
The space pilot himself knows
there is some risk involved, says
a source close to the astronauts.
But for a man with experience
in testing high-poWered aircraft,
it is an accustomed risk.
Fabulous steps have been taken
to insure the space pilots safety.
Anything that might fail in the
space capsule comes in duplicates,
so that one will always be in
service.
The countdown has begun on
the rocket and men are readying
it for flight.
Two possible space pilots whose
names are still secret are being
prepared for the trip. One of them
will go. One will be on the ready,
should something = even slight
cold - disqualify the first.
The chosen two were picked
from three known names: John
Herschel Glenn Jr., Marine
Corps lieutenant colonel fir ON
Concord, Ohio; Alan Bartlett
Shepard Jr., a Navy commander
from East Derry, N. H; and Virgil
Ivan Grissom, an Air Force cap
tain from Mitchell, Ind.
The day of the shot, two of
these men will get up at 2:30 a. m,
shower and shave in their Sc
Guided quarters in Hangar S, Is
minute saway from the waiting
rocket.
It will be busy morning, with
a physical examination, and the
complicated process of getting in
to the space suit.

Weather Permitting, US. May Send
First Astronaut Into Space Tomorrow

The suit itself is al. example
of the double safety standards
taken for the astronauts. This suit
will be filled with pure oxygen.
If the space capsule is damaged
and won't hold air, the space suit
will become the small world of
the astronaut.
There are two radio channels,
two rnicrophones, and if they fail,
a telegraph key. On the ground
there are two radio command re-
ceivers if one battery system in
the space capsule fails, there is
a IA hour spare.
The automatic systems that re-
lease the parachutes are backed
up by manual systems operated
by the pilot. There is a spare
parachute
Radio beacons to help ships
locate the capsule in the water
are backed up by manual systems.
There is special flashing light,
and dyes to color the water, aid
ing air searchers. If the capsule
should leak, the astronaut can
escape aboard life raft.

Ike Says Congress
Should Not Probe
Cuban FiascO Now
BY George Bell

IS GETTYSBURG, Pa. up : Gen.
Dwight D. Eisenhower said today
the last thing Congress should do
at this time is conduct a witch
hunt" investigation of U. S. in
Volvement in the Cuban invasion
fiasco.
The former President spoke at
a news conference after a meet
ing with Republican leaders, Eli
senhoWer said he believes the
country stands firmly behind
President Kennedy Gin his effort
to prevent the solidifying of
Communist stronghold in the
Western Hemisphere"
Eisenhower conceded it was his
administration that decided the
United States should train and
equip the refugees who staged the
abortive invasion of Cuba
The decision was reached, he
said, after demands by refugees
that something be done about
Prime Minister Fidel Castro. Eli
senhoWer described the Cuban
Prime Minister as a dictator
worse than his predecessor" Full
gencio Batista.
After the decision, Eisenhower
said, nothing more was done while
he was in office.
In a wide ranging discussion
of world and domestic problems
Eisenhower made these othel
points:
He has cancelled his projected
October trip to Japan because Of
State Department advice that ten.
sions are such that it would be
best for him not to go.
He is not going to compare the
first 100 days of the Kennedy Ad-
ministration with any other SINH
lar era because the new President
has been too occupied with inter
national affairs.
Eisenhower avoided any en-
dorsement of contention by
House Republican leader Charles
"A. Halleck of Indiana that the
Kennedy program had "laid a
big egg" in Congress.
Halleck reported that he had
told Eisenhower "the American
people certainly missed his wis
dom and sure hand in Washing
ton, and if he ran for President
tomorrow he would win by the
biggest landslide in history"

Thought for Today :.

Do right and fear no man. Don't
put it in writing and fear no
woman.
Evening star., 1961-12-10

LIZ YOU LOOK AROUND at the world today, you won
der whether the major countries will ever begin to
disarm and move toward peace.
Here in the United States, after drastically re-
ducing our forces, we again calling up troops
and pressing the arms race. The Soviet Union,
which never disarmed to the extent we did, has
broken the voluntary ban nuclear testing and
contaminated the air with fallout Political tensions
mount to the crisis level in Berlin Africa, Asia.
Peace seems SO precarious that more and more
we focus our attention on arms. Many people insist
that our only salvation lies in re-arming. They
would have us constantly ready for total war
On the other hand, some people blame all our
troubles on arms. They would have US throw away
our arms, unilaterally if necessary, and rely the
example to impel others to do the same.
Both these positions are false Arms alone
won't u.s. Neither ,ciN the absence of arms alone
protect as. In this connection like to call peoples
attention to the Great Seal Of e United States. In his
left oasU The eagle clutches bundle Of 0rrOus, in his
right the olire branch. think the symbolism is clear
Until such time improved international institu
tons offer practical peaceful means of dealing with
disputes must be able to defend ourselves. At the
same time, must always be prepared to make peace.
Today peace must include progress in dis
armament because the nature of modern weapons
imposes terrible new urgency on all our planning.
The consequences of nuclear war, whether by mis-.
calculation, accident or design, are so cataclysmc

that all our statesmen must act to avoid disaster.
To meet the dangerous urgency Of The situation,
Congress has established at President Kes1nedy's
request hbe nesU U.S. Arms Control and Disarmament
Agency the Jirss permanent peace agency in Our
history As the Presidents adviser on disarmament,
was happy to be able to contribute to the planning
for this key step toward peace.
But what of the bitter history of our long and
fruitless negotiations for disarmament?
Is there any real hope that the Soviets will ever
agree to satisfactory inspection and control system?
Is it at all possible they will join US in strength
ening the United Nations and other international
institutions to keep disarmed world in order
and keep it disarmed?
Will they ever get rid Of their attachment to
secrecy which breeds suspicion and distrust?
1t is not easy to be hopeful.
Yet in spite of all the Illustrations of the past
the negotiations that led nowhere, the Soviets'
assembling performance at Geneva when they read
led nucear atmospheric tests in secret while they
discussed test bans in public i still have hope.
firmly believe that the weight of logic is on

the side of disarmament for three strong reasons:
4. Both the us. and U.S.S.R. know nucBear war
could destroy civilization. Whatever may have
been earlier Communist PHILOSOPHERS about the
inevitability of conflict between Communist and
capitalist societies, the present Soviet leadership
aware of the devastating effects of nuclear holo-
caust. Anyone who feels he would benefit by a
major nuclear today would have to be crazy. Mr..
Khrushchev is far from that. Therefore, believe
both he and the Russian people want to avoid war.
Since the Soviet leaders and people do not want
to die and do not want to see their homeland dew
astated any more than we do, we find in the basic
issue of survival a significant of mutual under
standing and interest. This could be common base
from which we could begin to halt the arms race
2 Both the US. and the U-S.S.R. are having their
resources drained by the arms race. The people
of each nation have deep interest in using their
respective resources for peaceful and constructive
projects. The list of unfu6lled needs in both coun-
tries is tremendous. The need in the rest of the
world is unlimited. An enormous amount of treasure
that could raise living Standards bring health and
comfort to people everywhere is now being drained
off into armaments.
/ believe it is reasonable to assume that the
leadership of the Soviet Union desires to turn the
production of weapons into the production of peace
time goods. So consiaVsd on pOgs ~

By CONRAD CLARK

Washington (ANP)-Dr. James
E. Roberts, Silver Spring, Nd, and
Chancey I. Cooper, dean of the
College of Pharmacy at Howard
university, are now residents in
white" Montgomery County (MdJ
suburbs.
At a recent meeting of the
Greater Washington Good Neigh
Dor Campaign Of All Souls Church,
which seeks pledges against hous-
ing discrimination, DR.. Roberts
told the group of the purchasing
of his home.
He said that a bank which re-
fused to give him a loan sent him
a welcoming letter the day after
he arranged financing with a Ne
gro-operated lending institution.
He also said that a lawyer, who
tried to keep me out" congratulate
ed him later for the landscaping
job he did on his home.
There has been a marked
change in the neighborhood since
I moved there two years ago, 'cDr.
Roberts said, adding, three
fourths of the people now wave
when I go by"
Eight years ago the dean from
Howard bought his home in North
Chevy Chase. He told the group
MY neighbors have no complaints
against me and I have no COM
plants against them.
Both men said they were rebuff
fed by white realtors, and they
bought their homes through Negro
real estate men. Both said, they
only wanted decent homes, and
were not interested just in enter
ing white neighborhoods.
They did admit, however, that
they received a few phone calls
and frosty treatment at first, but
after that they experienced fairly
routine acceptance by their neigh
bors.

And this country, a geographical
third Of the political federation Of
the Rhodesias and Nyasaland, may
be the battle-ground on which the
issue is decided peacefully or
otherwise.
The black African contends,
quite logically, that his historic
association with the land and
his vast numerical majority give
him the right Of control
The white settler, a comparative
newcomer though he has been here
four generations bases his claim
to political control on his exploit
alton of the land, his economic
contributions and his racial super
iority which is inherent in the col
onial system.
The long seething discomfort OF
black Africans over the imposition
of a government which permits a
white minority to rule. sometimes
harshly, a black majority, has fin
ally aroused concern in England
which recently took steps to recti-
fly the inequity.
The recommendation was made
In the now famous MoncktOn
report which aroused the Ire Of
Sir Roy WelenslCy, the white
prime minister Of the federation
populated by 100000 Africans
and S4O,1 whites.
The suggestion that Africans be
given a stronger voice in the fed
eral parliament in which they hold
only IL of the SO seats and that
the three areas be allowed to
secede from the federation If they
desire brought encouragement to

dependence Movement headed by
