East Coast AIerted
As Storm Rolls In

The aircraft carriers Ran
dolph, Wasp and Valley Forge
put to sea, and other naval
vessels headed for anchorage
in Chesapeake Bay to escape
the fury of the winds.
Two Texas towers off the
New England Coast were evac-
uated in the possibility that the
storm might lash that area.
The towers are radar stations
that form part of the United
es-Canadian defense warn
ing system. The towers are on
shoals 80 to 100 miles offshore,
and a spokesman for the air
defense sector said he did not
know how many men were
evacuated. A similar tower off
the New Jersey Coast collapsed
during a storm last January
with a loss of % lives.
If the storm should strike
the North Carolina Coast, as
its present path indicated, it
would follow such destructive
giants as Hurricane Hazel,
which moved in over Eastern
North Carolina in 1854 and
caused $750 million damage.
Hurricanes Connie, Diane
and lone passed through the
area in 1855, followed by Helene
in 1858 and Oracle in 1853.

losses in the millions of dollars.

Tie-In Urged
For Parkway
And 3 Sisters

Interior Secretary Udan to-
day was urged by Representa-
tive Broyhill TO permit a traf-
fic connection between the
proposed Three Sisters Islands
Bridge and Virginia's George
Washington Memorial parkway.
The National Park Service
chief, Conrad L. Wirth. is op-
posed to a tie-in between the
Potomac River crossing, to be
built just upstream from Key
Bridge, and the parkway. Mr..
Wirth believes that commuter
traffic should be kept off park
ways.
In a letter to Mr.. Udall, Mr..
Broyhill, Republican of Vir-
ginia's nearby 10th district,
said it would be sheer folly
to build the proposed spans
approach roads across the
parkway with no traffic con-
nections.
The plan by the District high.
way department calls for RAMP
connections between the bridge
and the upstream section of the
parkway.
The District government ha;
no official voice in the decision
on the Virginia road connec.
tions. City officials. however
argue that the bridge-parkway
tie-in will be needed to helI
meet traffic demands.
In his letter to the interior
Secretary, Mr.. Broyhill said ht
was urging Mr.. Udall's CO.
operation in preventing thu
development of an inter-gov-
ernmental agency dispute which
could delay construction of the
badly-needed bridge and impair

MOREHEAD CITY, N. c.,
Sept. 19.-People along the
nearby beaches evacuated to-
day as Hurricane Esther, pack
ing peak winds of $50 miles
per hour, approached the North
Carolina coast.
Morehead City Mayor George
Dill said city officials are
awaiting later weather fore
casts before deciding whether
to order a general evacuation
Of this city of $500.
At nearby Atlantic Beach,
about rs miles southwark down
the coast from Hatteras, Police
Chief Bill Moore said most of
the business people already
have left the beach.
Merchants boarded up their
plate glass windows, and a
rescue squad augmented by vol
unteers worked to secure cot
tages.
A bulldozer was used to push
UP sand to protect property
around the Oceanana fishing
pier.
Schools Close
Alpheus Drinkwater, veteran
Associated Press correspondent
at Manteo, reported that
schools were closed at Buxton,
on the Outer Banks, and al
Manteo. He said the Manteo
school would be used as a
shelter.
He also reported that the
pounding surf had broken the
road between Nags Head and
Hatteras, about nine miles
north of Hatteras.
Most of the tourists and late
season vacationers moved out
of the area, but Mr.. DrinkwateI
said, "the natives are not going
to leave. Most of them are
from families who have beer
here 200 years. The natives
are holding fast"

trying to devise the best way
to meld man and machine into
an instrument for the explora-
ton of the moon. Like experts
in other fields, they are racing
against time. because the
problems are great and Presi-
dent Kennedy's 1869 moon
landing deadline is a tight one
1t will take a special kind of
man to journey to the moon,
at least in the early days of
lunar exploration. AStronauts
for the mission will probably
have most Of the characteristics
of their predecessors in Project
Mercury. Their selection will be
streamlined, however, and there
are indications that the per-
sonalized ballyhoo that sur
rounded the Mercury seven will
be soft-pedaled for the moon
missions participants.
Present plans call for three
men in the moon-landing phase
and it's preliminaries, Apollo-A,
the three-week earth-orbital
ride, and Apollo-B, the round
the-moon trip. Why three?
Two Could Do 1t
The magic number always
seems to be three for a crew."
says DR.. Siegfried Gerathewohl,
life sciences expert for the
Space Agency, NASA. Il don't
know why this is. For a lunar
flight three men would be nice,
I suppose, but if for reasons
of weight or room it had to be
only two. 1 believe two men
would do as we'll"
1t has been suggested that
for such a stressful trip, three
men would be needed to main
tain a sort of psychic balance
so the third man could keep
the other two from fighting" /"
so to speak.
Ridiculous" snorts DR.. S.
B. Sells, professor of psychology
at Texas Christian University,
one of the top men in the
space-psychology field. "The
number in the crew depends
on the job to be done - the
length of the mission - the
number of shifts per day. From
this the ideal number is de-
rived. But as far as fighting
goes, that's foolish. These men
won't have time"
But three is the number, ap-
parently - probably because
that is the number that can
be fitted into a spacecraft that
can be lifted by the kind of
rocket that is being planned.
Thus decisions are made in the
space business.
Must Be Pilots
What kind of men will these
be? Throughly trained pilots
with a smattering of other
skills, or professional specialists
with a little training in aero
space operation? Most experts
believe they should be pilots
first and specialists second.
DR.. Harold C. Urey has said
that lone man with a pickax
and a pouch on the moon will
be worth a thousand pounds of
instruments" Most people agree
with the Nobel Prize winners
assessment of mans impor-
tance, but do not think the
very first men up need be mar
row specialists. One of them
may get a blitz course in ge-
ology as part of his Astronaut
training. but professional
scientists can wait till later,
they believe.
For the foreseeable future,
spacemen will probably be
drawn from the ranks of test
pilots. The Air Force is already
moving to meet this need. An
