Repair bills can be stag

Just ask the Defense Secre-
tary what it costs to keep all
Of our military vehicles in
good repair.
It's the same on a farm.
The other day, for instance,
one Of our tractors began
making a high whining noise
while we were making hay.
Turned out the gears were
messed up. That cost 5000
to repair. Just two days later
the magnetic of the baler
motor took sick, and had to
be replaced. Later the same
week the orchard Sprayer
went on a binge. Cost: $40.
WE FARMERS wouldn't
mind paying for repair bills
if somebody would just pay
us back.
I would also like to propose
that the Government provide
official inspectors who would
make sure the repair work
was done efficiently and at
reasonable cost.

LABOR TROUBLES AHEAD!

LABOR ROUBLES AHEAD!
LABOR TROUBLES could be Gripping in these Islands.
With this in mind, both management and labor ought to take
a good, long, serious look at the total picture and place the
welfare of these Islands above selfish aims. Unless this is done
the economy of these Islands could be in jeopardy. This is a
plea.
IN THE UNITED TATES laboring men, after many
many years of struggle, finally won some concessions and re
cognition, for themselves under the leadership of Samuel
GomperS, one of the great leaders of the American Federation
Of Labor. Slow but steady progress followed, but the sharp
turning point came in the early days of the New Deal when
Senator Robert F. Wagner fathered the Wagner Act. Then
things moved swiftly.
TO-DAY, THE LABOR field is a highly complex and in.
volved one, SO much SO that many administrative agencies
are involved in the administration Of labor bills of one kind OF
another. Principal Of these acts is the National Labor Relations
Act. Under that Act a labor organization may petition for re-
cognition, and if the rank and-andfl members so choose, the
employer is bound to recognize and bargain with the repre-
sentative of the workers.
BUT THERE IS more to it than that. Between the letter
of the law and the spirit of the law there is considerable lati
tude, and problems galore arise, forcing agencies to invoke
the full force of the laws to protect both management and
labor. It is this which could be disturbing in a population as
small as ours, and with an economy which can stand little in.
terruption and diversion.
STRIKE A be a most Gripping thing. 1t is labors
principal and most potent weapon, but i~ts'adverse effect cuts
like two-edged sword, for labor loses just as much as manage.
ment. On the mainland labor unions have tremendous funds
for just such emergencies, but that may not be the case in
these Islands.
l. THINGS CONSIDERED, it would be well if both
sides gave serious thought to what is involved before they take
rash action. The welfare of the entire group must take prece-
dence over the immediate gains or wishes Of the two sides
involved -

NASA Budget
Hearings to Sturt

The House Space Committee
will open hearings Monday or
revised fiscal 1862 budget fol-
the National Aeronautics ano
Space Administration.
President Kennedy last week
added $125.7 million to the
81, ,1O9, 100000 which had beer
requested by former President
Eisenhower.
Authorization hearings be-
gan about a month ago but
were suspended by Committee
Chairman Brooks pending sub
mission of the revised figures.
Chief point of controversy in
the coming hearings is expected
to be over the Kennedy admin
istration'S failure to request
additional funds for solid-fuel
rocket research. A nominal $3.1
million figure submitted by Mr.
Eisenhower was allowed to
stand, while the former Presi-
dents $78 million request for
liquid-fuel rocket development
was increased by $9.3 million.

ToGet New
Force Tests
BY the Associated Press

The three stretch-running
Merucry astronauts soon will
undergo intensive tests on a
giant centrifuge as the time
nears to select one for a flight
into space.
Officials of the civilian space
agency said yesterday that be-
ginning in about two weeks, the
trio would get two or three days
of intensive workouts on a de-
vice which will expose them to
the same acceleration forces
zone of them will face when he
blasts off in a capsule atop a
big Redstone rocket.
The seven astronauts in
training have been narrowed
down to these three in the Sc
lection of the man to attempt
the first United States space
lllSIlJ.
The National Aeronautics
and Space Administration de-
clined to say when a manned
flight will be attempted-that
is, the firing of a Redstone
some 100 miles high in a non
orbital 16-minute flight several
hundred miles downrange from
Cape Canaveral, Fla.
But the unofficial word is
that it will take place early
in May.
NASA officials said 1t had
been decided to subject the
men to new tests on the centri-

fuge device at a Navy installa-
ton at townsville. Pa, because
they haven't had any such tests
for several months"
NASA officials said the up
coming tests do not constitute
any new phase of testing. They
also volunteered the informa-
ton that the tests were not mo-
tivated by any adverse find
ings in connection with the re-
cent rocketing of Ham the
space monkey. They said Ham
is still in good shape. and has
shown no adverse effects of
mis- flight"
In the device at townsville
which features a cabin placed
at the end of a 40-foot long
arm-the men will be Nhirled,
one at a time, in experiments
in which they will be exposed
to acceleration forces equal to
between 6 and II times the
force of gravity. The device,
generating centrifugal force
within its attached cabin, op-
crates on the principle of a
cream SeCSratOr.
In the actual Mercury cap
sule when it's poised atop the
Redstone, the accelerative
forces of blast-off and early
flight are expected to be be-
tween 6 and 8 GS.
During the tests at Johns
vile, extensive tests of heart
action, respiration and body
temperature will be made by
remote control devices.
The three astronauts who
will undergo the tests are: Ma
rine 1t. Col. John G. Glenn of
New Concord, Ohio, and Airing
ton. Va; Air Force Capt. Vir-
gil GriSsom, a native of Mitch
ell, Ind, and Navy Comdr. Alan

1S-Minute Storm
About six weeks after it was
launched, the satellite detected
the early stages of a "claSs l.

ravaging an area far greater
than the earth's surface. The
storm lasted 18 minutes, the
ICY Bulletin reported.
"G0 was accompanied by

"One minute after the start
of the flare, short-wave radio
signals began to fade. Two
minutes later, cosmic radio
noise, which normally pene-
trates the ionosphere, also be-

This blackout was accom-

BELGRADE ASKS

BELGRADE, Yugoslavia, Oct.
IA (AP)-The government has
requested Washington to state
its present position toward
Yugoslavia in view Of signs that
relations between the two coun-
tries have cooled, qualified
sources reported today.
The request was made two
days ago by Mijalko Todorovic,
vice president, when he re-
ceived George KEENAN,, United
States ambassador to Belgrade,
the sources said. They reported
Mr.. Kennan promised to cable
the State Department for a
reply.
The Yugoslav request was
prompted by widespread criti-
cism in the American press Of
Yugoslavia and President Tito's
speech at the Belgrade con-
ference Of nonaligned coun-
tries, the sources added. There
was no mention of wide criti-
cism in the United States now
over the sale of old United
