ment are there. NOW, as ne nedrS
the end of his first six months in
office, it might be wise to take
a look at Mr.. Kennedys domestic
political situation.
Much of the liberal criticism of
the Administration still remains
muffled, because many liberals feel
they have nowhere else to go; there
is no room for them yet in the
Republican Party.
But if there is to be any advance
towards a New Frontier, the Ad-
ministration would be well ad-
vised to probe deeply into the feel
ing of let-down that is so clearly
evident among the Presidents
hitherto strongest supporters. He
needs them more than Ike needed
Sherman Adams.
The basic difficulty is that the
President does not seem to be TAX
ing the public into his confidence.
Neither he, nor all those articulate
men around him, are convincingly
explaining why he does what he
does. Perhaps it is because there
are no clear policies, merely i'm
provisations.
But to Independent, intelligent
people who insist on thinking
for themselves the notion Is an
nOying that all White House ac-
ton must be underwritten as a
matter Of faith. They simply are
not geared that way.
Three separate matters illustrate
what Is at the bottom of so much
of Mr.. Kennedy's new trouble: the
invoking of the Taft-Hartley Act
in the maritime strike, the request
for funds to arm Latin American
governments against vaguely de-
fined subversion, and the federal
school aid bill.
Take a look at the maritime
strike. There may have been per-
fectly good reasons for invoking
the Taft-Harley law: Hawaii may
have been on the verge of star
vation, the jurisdictional disputes
between the unions may have been
beyond immediate resolution, or
the shipping lines may not have
been able to survive a severe econ
omic blow at the height Of summer
travel to Europe.
But If any. or all Of these things.
St. Paul recorder., 1961-07-14

were true should not someone high
in the Administration have SUBJ
mitted specific evidence? Aren't
good union men entitled to know
why a supposedly "anti-labor" law
is employed?
Then there is that matter of ear
marking $21, 100000 for military
assistance to Latin American gov
enments for acquisition Of "anti-
subversive" equipment. Perhaps
this could be justified If we knew
it was going to really democratic
governments. But isn't an explana-
ton in order?
We have been hearing about
the misery Of the people Of the
Americas, and miserable they
undoubtedly are.
Public opinion, still confused and
upset by the Cuban fiasco, was
slowly being modified for the cal
lance for Progress" program.
Now, without warning, there is a
shift in the Western Hemisphere
military aid program.
What does it portend? How sig
nificant is it? Who is to get our
help?
Finally, there is the question of
the school aid bill. For many
Americans, not only those who are
considered liberal on domestic
problems, this is a showdown is
sue-a test of Mr.. Kennedy's in
tentions.
There is an uneasy feeling that
on this issue the Administration
may choose not to fight, or accept
compromise" that may be at
variance with what Mr.. Kennedy
told the Houston ministers last
autumn.
No reasonable person believes
that any Of these problems can be
handled as easily once a man is
in The White House as in a politi-
cal campaign. But If the situation
has changed, or the Administration
thinks it has changed, would some
body take the trouble to say how
and why? Contrary to the title Of
a new book, this is not a nation of
sheep.

Area Man
Hears Voice
OfAstronuut

At least one Washington area
resident heard Soviet astronaut
Gherman Titov as he passed
over this area yesterday.
The space listener was Army
MISergt. James A. Duffy, As
year-old communications spe-
cialist and ham radio operator,
who lives at 1900 South Court
house road, Arlington.
Sergt. Duffy was tuned in on
the right frequency when the
Russian spaceship made a pass
over Washington at 1854 am,
and he managed to record the
astronaut's message on his re-
corder.
He then called radio station
WTOP and reported his find.
The station. in turn, got the
message translated by attaches
Of the Russian Embassy and
promptly broadcast it, both
locally and over the Columbia
Broadcasting System network.
AS WTOP reported it, the
message went: Attention, at
tention. Flying over North
American continent. Sending
my friendly greeting to the
people Of North America from
Soviet Spaceship Vostok II.
Cosmonaut Titov."
Evening star., 1961-08-07

a period of IS hours Is min
utes and has covered more than
100000 kilometers.
"In connection with the sue
cessful completion Of the sci
entific program in accordance
with the flight task, the space
ship Vostok II has landed in
the predetermined area of the
Soviet Union, close to the his
toric place Of the landing Of
Vostok I. April IL, 1861, piloted
by Yuri Gagarin.
"Comrades Titov is healthy
and feels excellent.

1.-THE continuous space flight
of the Soviet cosmonaut, un-
precedented in the history of
mankind, has been successfully
completed.
THE data received by re-
search opened wide perspectives
for the further development of
manned space flights"
From the moment Of going
into orbit, Mai. Titov was in
a. chatty mood and showed
supreme confidence throughout
the long flight.
He was so relaxed that he
oversight 81 minutes this morn
ing while whirling around the
globe.
Just before retiring, he sent
this radio message to Musco-
vites:
! Nov I am going to bed. You
do what you want, but I am
going to bed"
He broadcast a stream of
greetings to every continent as
he passed Overwhelming my
friendly greetings to the people
of North America"
The youthful spaceman also
sang the praises of the Com
munist Party and sent particu-
larly thanks to Soviet Premier
Khrushchev for his "fatherly
concern" about the flight.
II will carry out the assign
ment Of tho party and the gov
ernment without fail" Maj.
Titov messaged after making
his second orbit. Tell this to
tNikita Khrushchev."
Mai, Titov landed at 1918
am, one full day plus an hour
and Is minutes after the huge
rocket had blasted him into
Evening star., 1961-08-07

the Russians invited the people
of the world to listen in to the
astronaut's broadcasts. He was
heard-and recorded-by many
listeners and in addition radio
transmissions in code from the
space ship were also picked up
by Western monitors.
While Mai. Titov was in
flight, Moscow radio said there
were biological objects on
board" This suggested that he
might have had insects or ami
mails as travelling companions.
The announcement said the
cosmonaut took scientific data
from the large number of de-
vices in the cabin Of the space
ship and observed the earth
through three portfolios in the
ship.
On the streets of Moscow
huge crowds gathered around
loudspeakers at noon to hear
the last announcement on the
flight. People surrounded auto
mobiles parked on the street
with their radio blaring.
The crowds listened quietly
and eagerly as the announcer
spoke. When he finished, they
drifted on their way with no
particular display Of emotion.
This is the last announce
ment," the broadcast said. "The

was launched.
This is about TOO miles east
Of the Caspian Sea in the virgin
land area and not far from the
path chosen by United States
Pilot Francis Gary Powers for
his Inflated U-2 flight over
Russia.
Moscow radio proclaimed that
the Soviet people congratulate
and embrace Gherman Titov on
on his happy return"
"A great feat has been
achieved" the Soviet radio tri-
umphantly declared. What a
fine, what a wonderful gift to
the forthcoming congress of our
native Communist party.
only our homeland and our
people, led by the glorious
Communist Party, is capable of
achieving the feats of which
the best minds of humanity
have dreamed for centuries.
Long live communism"
Mr.. Khrushchev was ex-
pected to make full use of the
propaganda value of the latest
Soviet achievement in his
speech tonight.
Maj. Gagarin. whom Titov
called my great friend" cut
short a visit to Halifax, N. S.,
to rush back to Moscow to greet
his fellow cosmonaut. He told
newsmen he knew in advance
about Maj. Titov's flight and
had personally checked out the
Vostok II space capsule.
Before taking off from Hall
fax, Maj. Gagarin telephoned
this message to be relayed to
Mai. Titov, while still in space: {:
Dear Gherman:

heart. I embrace you, old chap.
and kiss you. I am following
your flight with great excite
ment. =
II am confident in the sue
cessful conclusion of your
flight, which will yet again.
glorify our great motherland,
our Soviet people. See you
soon."
Titov, a major in the Soviet
air force, has been flying since
1855.
He grew up in a small vii
lage in the territory near the
Soviet border with Mongolia
and Communist China.
He was described as q schol-
arly young man who made ex-
cellent grades in high school
but who decided to join the
air force instead of going on
to college as his schoolteacher
father wished.
Maj. Titov was a candidate
member of the Communist
Party. His home now is be-
lieved to be Leningrad. His
wife, Tamara Vasilyevna, is "a.

some time YETI before the
United States can duplicate
the Soviet achievement. He
said the American program
was going as fast as it can and
expressed doubt that . Mai.
Titov's epic flight would lead
to any change in it.
Throughout his flight. the
Russians said, the handsome,
wavy-haired Titov was kept in
view from earth by television
and while awake he main
tanned constant two-way radio
communication.
He was in a smiling, happy
go-lucky mood throughout the

said exultantly. Recorded ex-
