N1ow let's talk about where we're going.
1 ~ Our scientific exploration of outer space
today is sweeping forward with concentrated
vigor. Here are some of its most important
directions in the year ahead
Men in orbit: We have already launched a
rocket carrying monkeys over almost 1900 miles
down the Atlantic missile range, recovering them
alive. Next step, sometime this year, using
Mercury Redstone rocket, will be to send one of
the seven Astronauts Whose pictures are shown
at leftl on similar but shorter trips 100
mile-high, 2OO-mile-long ballistic fight down the
Atlantic range. After that, well go through the
same cycle with orbital fight. Using Mercury
Atlas vehicle, we will orbit and recover first
animals, then one of the Astronauts.
The SosVrn vehicle: Up to now the Russians,
while orbiting fewer satellites, have been able to
put bigger payloads into space, thanks to more
powerful rockets. Our answer to this challenge
is the Saturn which we're developing at NASA's
new George C. Marshall Space Flight Center in
Huntsville, Ala, with the help of industrial
corporations all over the US. Even the first and
most modest version of Saturn will be capable of
putting ten-ton space vehicle, twice the size of
Sputnik v. into orbit around the earth.
The moon: I think we are well on our way
toward an effective lunar exploration program.
Atlas-Agena and Atlas. Centaur rockets will pave
the way toward soft" landings of scientific
equipment on the moon. By the time Saturn
becomes available as reliable and operational
system we should be able to use it to land
remotely controlled rowing lunar research sta
tions. Land men on the moon? Not this or next
year - but perhaps within ten years.
lsssrpiassfory space: Well push our explora-
tions, already begun last year. We will put
satellite around Venus or Mars or both. Wen get
the best photos yet of our planetary neighbors.
Ssor pictures: OF greatest interest to astron-
omers all over the world will be the spectro-
graphs of the sun and of distant stars, not

limited to the narrow band of rays which can
penetrate the earth's atmosphere. Our satellites
will bring these back to earth, and we have every
reason to believe that they will reveal secrets of
the universe that have so far eluded US.
VA 7hy are we doing all this? Virtually every
w advancement of our scientific and tech
biological civilization can be traced back to the
fact that someone just got curious about what
made nature tick. Thermometer energy was
discovered because someone wondered what pre-
vented the sun from burning itself out. X-rays
were discovered because someone wondered how
an electric current would behave in vacuum.
A few short years ago the very idea of putting
up an artificial satellite was just gleam in few
scientific eyes. Today we can appraise its COM
mercial value in dollars and cents. Above the
earth atmosphere, and unaffected by the earth's
curvature, satellite can relay radio and tele-
vision signals to any spot on the globe. With
rapid, unjammable, worldwide communications
and television network we have the technical
means to portray the appeal of the American
success story to the uncommitted peoples OF the
world. If we do not utilize this chance the same
uncommitted peoples will hear another story in
another language.

CzechsHe
On Embassy
Zoning Plea

A request by the Communist
Czechoslovak Republic for per-
mission to put up a $1-milnon
embassy and chancery building
on . 7h-acre tract at 1912
Tilden street NV. was under
study today by District zoning
officials.
The Board Of Zoning Adjust
ment yesterday heard both a
personal appeal by DR.. Miloslav
Ruzek. the Czech Ambassador,
to grant the application and
opposition statements from
about half a dozen neighbor-
hood property owners.
Attorney James C. Wilkes, sr.,
representing the Embassy, said
that the present chancery at
2349 Massachusetts, avenue
NV. is not large enough for
the staff. DR.. Ruzek would
move from his present residence
at sol Aspen street NV. to ex-
listing buildings on the Tilden
street. site.
The property is the estate of
the late Joseph Sanders, vice
president of the Bank of Com
merce and vice president of the
Equitable Life Insurance Com
pany.
The proposed building would
be three stories high. Purchase
price would be about $325 900.
Arguments by the opposing
property owners, some of them
represented by Attorney Robert
E. Lynch. were that approval of
the zoning application would
lower property values and gen.
crate additional traffic and
noise problems.

7.6 Pei. Raise
For Teachers
BY JOHN ROSSON
Star Staff Writer

--- 1890
The District School Board
yesterday approved a 7.6 per
cent increase in teachers SAL
aries and sent the proposal to
the District Commissioners.
In a unanimous vote. the
board asked the Commission
ers' approval so that the pro-
poSal may be forwarded to
Congress this spring.
School Supt. Carl F. Hansen
said the plan would add about
$3.4 million to the present SAL
ary total.
Last March. the city asked
Congress for a teacher salary
boost Of about Is per cent, but
Congress granted raise Of 71a
per cent. In effect, the board
Is seeking the balance of the
request.
Not all salary levels are af-
fected in the new proposal. The
greatest changes would come
ut the maximum level in each
Of the salary classes, benefiting
career" personnel as opposed
to newer teachers.
One Principal Level
The plan also calls for a
Single pay scale for all prin-
cipalS. They range now from
o minimum Of $10,643 for
elementary school principals to
o maximum Of $l1,610 for SEN
ior high principals.
The new proposal sets a
single scale which would run
from $12,400 to $4,000 in 12
steps.
Included In the plan is an
increase in the superintendent's
salary from $4,000 to $25, 900.
o request which was cut from
the proposal approved last year.
The new proposal was opposed
yesterday by only one group.
the District Branch Of the
American Association Of Uni
versity Women. Mrs. Theodore
Spector. speaking for the asso-
citation, said the group opposed
the plan because 1t rewards
superior personnel rather than
beginning teachers.
In, reply, DR.. Hansen ex-
planned that the ia per cent
raise approved by Congress
last August benefited the be-
ginning teachers over career
employees.
In other action the board
ruled that a former District
student. Frankie Jean Wilson,
must pay tuition to attend
public schools here. The Will
son case has been pending for
about q year. awaiting legal
and administrative interpreta-
tions Of the school boards
tuition rules. The board de-
cided yesterday after obtain
ing opinions from the city's
legal officers, that Miss Will
sons parents, though living
out-of state, were financially
able to pay for her education,
and that the girl did not have
to come to the District to OBJ
tain an education. Miss Wilson
Is now q student In o univer-
sity In the South.
Mrs. Grace Hunter Smith, Of
LaSalle School, was appointed
supervisor in the Department
Of Supervision and Instruction
for Elementary Schools. The
board appointed on q condi-
tional basis John C. Hoffman,
assistant principal at Sousa
Junior High School. as assist
ant principal at Boys Junior
Senior High School. and ap-
pointed Miss Mary M. Aldhi-
zer. assistant principal at Paul
Junior High School, as assist
ant principal at Western High
