Actually, the record Of the
Atlas as the Atlas itself in
NASA'S space program is not
so bad. Eight have been used
by the Space Administration
and only two blew themselves
up. one in flight and one on
the pad during a static test.
Yesterdays did not blow spon-

Had there been a man in the
space capsule yesterday, there
seems no doubt that he would

AT Leaders
Ask Saving Of.
BIO Bomber
BY the Associated Press

Air Force leaders testified
today they personally believe
the big jet bomber BIO should
be pushed ahead rapidly de-
spite President Kennedy'S de-
cision to cut it back and delay
it.
Secretary of the Air Force
Zuckert and Gen. Thomas D.
White, Chief of Staff, both told
Senators that the White House
and Secretary of Defense Nc
Namara, had overruled their
recommendations to push the
BIO as the Nations future
manned bomber.
Senator Chavez, Democrat of
New Mexico, presiding at a
public hearing on the new $44
billion defense money bill, told
both witnesses he wanted your
candid opinions.
Il think it is a mistake. -
Senator Chavez told them of
the top level decision to save
some $130 million by holding
the BIO program to an expert
mental aircraft instead of
pressing for a complete weapon
delivery system.
May Restore Cut
Senator Chavez indicated the
committee might restore the
$l38 million cut from the BIO
program by Mr.. Mcnamara
and Mr.. Kennedy.
We're the ones who make
the money available" Senator
Chavez said. I'VE don't have
to follow the Budget Bureau"
The Air Force heads said
some $500 million already had
been spent on development of
the plane.
Both said they urged con-
tinuation of the full weapons
system and the Mcnamara
Kennedy decision would delay
this.
But both also carefully
pointed out that they supported
the Presidents military budget
as it went to Congress.

A powerful voice on the other
side Of the debate was that OF

Democrat of California. second

Space Committee. Mr.. Miller
said yesterday, There is no ex-
cuse for failures of this kind in

are made in San Diego, said he

terials and work only for the

Miller's view, really makes them

We've been too lax with
industry Mr.. Miller said. He
added that he intends to urge
the Space Committee to take a
whole new look at the contract

destroyed over Cape Canaveral,
Fla, 40 seconds after it was
launched. The capsule, which
was supposed to orbit the
earth once and then be recov-
cred at sea, floated into the
ocean nearby beneath an en-
ergency parachute.
Space Administration Off
cialS took what comfort they
could from the fact that the
rockets abort system" worked
perfectly, saving the capsule
from ruin in the post-launch-
ing explosion. But the abort
was not really relevant to the
exercise; this was supposed to
be an orbital trip. not an en-
ergency evacuation drill.
1t is an odd and little known
fact, however. that the un-
timely end of the vehicle
called NAB" leaves the Mer-
curry program right back where
1t was originally. A last minute

Network Ready Early
DR.. Hugh L. Dryden, deputy
space administrator, and scien-
tific chief Of the National Aero
nautics and Space Administra-
ton, explained yesterday that
this launching was originally
scheduled as a Sub-orbital
abort mission. This means that
under former plans. the Atlas
missile was supposed to get
almost to orbital velocity at
1880 miles an hour and then
JettiSon its capsule into the
Atlantic somewhere this side
of South Africa.
NASA planned it this way.
DR.. Dryden related, because
space officials did not expect
the worldwide Mercury track
ing network to be completed by
the time MA-3 was ready to 60.
The network was ready ahead
Of time, however, so NASA de-
cided to make a once around
effort at this time.
I'VE got the abort we orig
inally planned for" DR.. Dryden
said. Our orbital flight plan
for a man before the end of
the year has not been changed" .
1t Is too early to say whether
another NAB type operation
with an occupied capsule will
be attempted, DR.. Dryden indi-
Gated. He and other space ex-
perts want to study the trouble
in yesterdays rocket before
making up their minds. 1t is
entirely possible that they may
follow the revised schedule
under which yesterdays rocket
would be followed by a globe
orbiting MA-4 with a Chin
panzee in it.
Other Flight on Schedule
The Mercury program as s
presently constituted calls for {
the first manned orbiter to be
designated MAT in the last {
quarter of this calendar year.
This could slip. and become
NAB in early 1862.
Other parts of the Mercury
program, including the long {

go along as originally scheduled.

Unmet School Needs

Here, in brief, is the background
OF superintendent Of Schools Hansen'S
alarmed protest over the loss of some
81 million he had been counting on for
needed school construction:
Early last summer the Commits
sioners were able to foresee a balanced
budget for the current fiscal year which
included about 81 million for public
works, including school building con-
sGruction. Congress, not the Com
mlssioners, upset this balance by voting,
over the Presidents veto, for a salary
increase for Federal employees which
was correctly applied also to municipal
employees. So, instead of going to public
works, including school construction, the
money was needed to pay the local
salary increase. The Commissioners
noped this diversion would be prevented
oy Willingness, on the part Of the
appropriations committees, to appro-
pirate the full Federal payment
authorized for this year of $32 million,
or sum close to it, rather than the S25
million that Congress was willing to ap-
propriate.
This request was turned down by
the House Appropriations Committee.
The new chairman Of the Senate sub
committee on District appropriations,
Senator Robert C. Byrd of West Virginia,
hoped he could obtain authorization
for the District to borrow the ST million.
But the House committee refused that
too. That is why Mr.. Hansen is
alarmed about loss of the money he was
counting on for additional classrooms.
Perhaps he will get 1t in the ap-
preparation bill for the next fiscal year,
on which hearings will begin around
May l. We hope so. And the new chair
man Of the Board of Commissioners,
Mr.. Tobriner, having just graduated as
the effective president of the Board Of
Education, with full knowledge of
school needs, may be able to obtain
the necessary appropriations.
OF course the Districts public
works program, adopted in 1852 by
Congress with enthusiastic support from
the community, was designed to end
these recurring financial crises over
needed public works. The program has
not worked out that way, however, for
Congress has reneged time and again
on financing its part of the program
while approving one tax increase after
another for the District of Columbia.
We hope Mr.. Tobriner can also do
something about that.

that they have taken on the lions share
of the job to keep the Chinese Reds
from winning a dominant position in
respect to Laos. In other words, there is
at least a suspicion that the Com
mupiStS of the USSR, together with the
Communists of North Vietnam, have
grown leery of the expansionism of the
Communists of China and are therefore
anxious to stop them from moving in on
the Laotian situation.
However, whether this speculation
is sound or not, Marshal Chen's warning
must be reckoned with most seriously
by our country and its SEATO allies. For
the Chinese Reds, who sometimes ap-
pear to be far more bellicose and ready
to risk war than their Russian comrades,
are fully capable of converting Laos into
another Korea, or worse. That is why
so much depends now on Soviet sin
certify, or the lack of it, as regards a
cease-fire and negotiated settlement.

Sitting Duck

1t may be mixing the metaphor,
but If ever there was a sitting duck It
was the American CAT shot down in
Laos while flying over Communist
territory.
The CAT is the military version Of
the DC-3, reliable but slow. It would
have almost no chance If brought with
in range Of modern anti-aircraft fire.
Just what the plane, carrying eight
men, was doing over the combat area is
not entirely clear from the news reports.
Assigned to our embassy In Laos, it was
en- route from Vientiane to Saigon, South
Wet Nam. Apparently at the request of
the Laotian government, it made a
reconnaissance detour over the Plain des
JarreS and was hit by fire from the
ground One Of the crew members
parachuted and is believed to have been
captured. There has been no word as
to the others.
What is not clear is the source of
the order or authorization for the fight.
Perhaps 1t was volunteer mission.
Certainly, however, there should be no
more such flights In CATS. If 1t is
thought necessary to fly reconnaissance
missions, then planes suitable for that
purpose should be used.
