Loss Affects Only Tankers
He said reports of the Incl

baker said an Ontario plant
could turn out models which
would be flown to Red China
in three weeks.
The government is quite
determined that shipments to

Mr.. Diefenbaker said. He said
he wanted to emphasize that
there is no basis for Sugges-
tions that the United States
ban would endanger the execu-
tion of the Red China grain
deal.
Opposition leader Lester
Pearson said an alternative
could be to have the state
owned Canadian Commercial
Corp. buy the pumps directly
from the United States firm.
In that way the American law
would not be involved, he said.

There are reports that the
administration is revising its
original plans regarding Presi-
dent Kennedy's contemplated
executive order on official bar
gaining rights for Federal en-
ploye unions.
It's reported that Mr.. Ken
merry will send a memorandum
to all heads of departments and
agencies telling them that all
bureaus should deal with en-
ploye groups on personnel pol
icy matters, grievances, working
conditions, etc.
Then a task force committee
repeatedly will be set up to i'm
plement the memorandum so
that an executive order can
subsequently be issued with
more specific provisions in it.
The task force would be COM
posed of the Secretary of Labor,
Secretary of Defense, Post
master General. Civil Service
Commission Chairman and
several other key officials. 1t
would hold hearings among
employe leaders and other in
terested parties to determine
what should be contained in
the executive order.
It's reported that admins
tration officials are split on
how far an executive order
should go as far as containing
specific provisions for settling
disputes, etc. Also, some union
leaders have divergent views
among themselves as to what
the executive order should con-
tain. That's why the task force
committee approach is being
considered in an effort to come
up with an executive order

Mr.. Rusk also asked for a
clear separation between mill
tary aid and assistance for eco
nomic and social development.
In his dollar figures and the
rest of the program, Mr.. Rusk
went down the line with the
outline presented by Mr.. Ken
nedy in his foreign aid message.
Committee Chairman Nor
gan, Democrat of Pennsylvania,
estimated the amount required
to carry out the Presidents re-
quests next year at $4,530, ,000,-

Emphasizes Borrowing
Mr.. Rusk laid emphasis on
the proposal for authority for
the administration to borrow
5000 million from the Treasury
in the year starting July l and
an additional $1.6 billion in
each Of the four following
years, for loans on long term
projects.
Tied in with this borrowing
proposal was a request to per-
nit the new International Eco
nomic and Social Development
Agency to relend payments of
both principle and interest on
past loans. Such funds are
estimated at $287 million next
year with an average of around
5000 million over a five-year
period.
Because Of "the greater un-
certaintieS of the times" Mr..
RuSk also asked Congress to
boost the Presidents foreign
aid contingency fund from SITS
to $500 million.
For military assistance, he
asked appropriations totaling
$1.8S billion for next year and

MOSCOW, Aug. II (AP).-
Soviet Cosmonaut Gherman
Titov said today he was eject
ed from his space ship at the
end of his epic 25-hour orbital
flight and parachuted to earth.
The second Soviet spaceman
told a damned news confer
ence his spaceship Vostok II
came down separately by para
chute but if the need had
arisen, I could have landed it
myself" ,..
Maj. Titov said there were
two landing systems available
either to remain in the space
ship and parachute down with
it or to descend separately. He
said he had permission to use
either system.
II felt well and decided to
test the second landing sys-
tenn" he said.
The ship landed safely near
by, he added.
The space flyer said he ex-
perienced no i'll effects-from
the acceleration forces, noise
and vibration of the takeoff
from the prolonged weightless-
ness or from the transition
from weightleSsness near the
end of his II trips around the
globe.

jor reported one variation from
normal. He said he wasn't hum
CRY for his first two meals al
though he ate them on
schedule.
Frankly speaking I had no
particular appetite" the 26-
year-old cosmonaut said. This
was probably due to the sus-
tanned weightlessness and ex-
element"
Maj. Titov spoke at a news
conference held at Moscow
University for more than $500
Soviet and foreign newsmen,
scientists and diplomats.
Mstislav Keldysh. president
of the Soviet Academy Of Sci
ences, introduced the Soviet
Unions new space hero and
said his 25-hour flight had
produced a wealth of scientific
information that will be pub
lished and shared with scien-
fists all over the world.
The flight, Mr.. Keldysh
added, opened the way for
manned flight Ito Mars, the
moon, Venus, and even fur
ther into the depths of the

tary Orville L. Freeman better
than he. AS 4 matter Of fact,

does not rest on its agronomy

Public Takes Dim View
The public at large nurses an
obscure grievance against the
farmer, and it is exacerbated
occasionally by pictures of
Cadillacs in the corn. The image
of the horny-handed son Of the

of the "pampered tyrant," who
spends more time in the count

Titov Describes His Flight
And Landing by Parachute

Mr.. Keldysh said foreign
newsmen will be permitted TO
watch launchings of Soviet
spaceships in the future but
gave no indication when this
would happen.
You realize carrier rockets
are not only peaceful instru-
ments, and if the Americans
had such advanced carrier
rockets you can be sure they
wouldn't be showing them
either" he said.
The Soviet academician said
Maj. Titov had demonstrated
that a human pilot is able to
control his spaceship manually,
make scientific observations
and land his craft on any spot
on earth.
Mr.. Keldysh presented Maj
Titov with a gold medal Of the
Soviet Academy of Sciences
named after Konstantin Tsiol-
kovski, father of Russian
rocketry. The first Soviet
cosmonaut, Maj. Yuri Gagarin,

which the Soviets may make

Got Agreement
3. Mr.. Rusk got agreement
with the other Foreign Min
listers, including Frances Couve
de Murville, that at some point
there should be negotiations
with the Russians for a peace
full way out of the Berlin crisis.
But apparently it also was I'M
derStood that Mr.. Khrushchev'S
present Berlin demands offer
no basis for negotiation and
the ministers agreed this was
not the time to make pro-
posals. The question whether
the Western powers should
take the diplomatic initiative
was left for later decision as
Mr.. Khrushchev's campaign
develops.
Overall, Mr.. Rusk was re-
ported very pleased with the
high degree of allied unity on
basic issues, despite differences
on tactics. For example, the
French are presently opposed
to a Western initiative, while
the United States and Britain
tend to favor Western proposals
to the Soviet Union at the
earliest opportunity.

In1pacted Aid
Bill Reported
as g'7o es
Senate Set to Act
On School Funds

A one-year extension of the
$500 million Federal aid pro-
gram for "impacted school
areas" was reported by the
Senate Labor Committee in Is
minutes this morning.
The action signaled the
collapse of administration
efforts to use the popular i'm
pacted aid as a lever to win
votes for a broader education
bill.
The Senate committee vote
in executive session was II to /,
with Senator Javits, Republic
can Of New York, registering
protest opposition. He said he
voted against impacted aid to
indicate clearly that the adj
minisration was abandoning a
more comprehensive school aid
bill.
GOIdwater Move Fails
Senator Goldwater. Repub-
lican of Arizona, offered an
amendment in committee to
extend impacted aid for three
years, but was defeated by a
1912 vote. He said Democrats
wanted to hold additional aid
to one year so they could use
the issue again next session
as a whip to push a general
school program through Con-
gress.
To the Washington suburban
area, the extension would
funnel about SIG million into
schools overcrowded by chill
dren of Federal employees up
to June 80, 1862. Involved are
both operating and construc-
ton funds.
Potential benefits, based on
last years records, are an
estimated $3.8 million in Mont
gomery County and 81 million
in Prince Georges County, for
a $7.8 million total in nearby
Maryland; and $50 million in
Fairfax County, $649,000 ano
$4,000 respectively in the
cities of Alexandria and Falls
Church, and SIT million in
Arlington County, for a total
Of $8.2 million in suburban

the best interests of the police
force, he would consider step
ping aside or accepting an
other post. The only response
I have had from Chief Stewart

Chief Stewart said today Mr..
Carver had asked him on May
3 whether, in view of an i'm
pending House Government
Operations subcommittee in
vestigation of onym GU S
charges against him, he pre-
ferred retirement or being
transferred to avoid exposure to
a public hearing.
Chief Stewart said he replied
that he feared investigation
by no one, since his record and
background were entirely clear,
and that he had no intention
of retiring. Since then, Chief
Stewart added, he has been
told that the investigation had
been closed and the charges
found to have no merit.
Not Offered Job
Mr.. Carver said that, except
by inference, Mr.. Mangrum was
never offered Chief Stewards
position. Because of Mr.. Man
grum's broad background, in
Guiding that of deputy police
commissioner in New York, he
was approached with the pos
sibility that he might accept a
new supervisory post to oversee

said.
The idea was for Mr.. Man.

that of the police chief. to re-
organize the department.
However, the discussion ended
with Mr.. Mangrurn saying he
was not available for the
position.
