US. Presses Ahead Toward Goal of Orbiting Man

CAPE CANVERAL, Fla. R = The United States pressed ahead toward it's goal of oribiting man around the world this year. Sci eltists, engineers and technicians worked round the clock and as- tronaut John Glenn IT., the chosen pilot, began extensive preparation in ready room" not far from the launching pad.
 If all goes right, the attempt could be made as early as Dec. 20. Technical problems could de- lay the launching, and major trouble could push it into 1862.
 Glenn moved Monday into special quarters on the Cape so he could be near all key centers of Project Mercury operations.
 Not far away are the launching pad where the huge Atlas booster rocket was erected Saturday; the hangar where Glenn's spacecraft is undergoing thorough checkollt, the Mercury control center, nerve center of the operation, and a ground based capsule where he can run through simulated flights of his projected three times around the world mission.
 The ready room" is the same lodging occupied by astronauts Alan Shepard Jr. and Virgil Gris- som for few days before their 15-minute sub-orbital flights earl- fer this year.
 With a more demanding assign ment before him. Glenn, 40, a Marine It. Colonel, entered the quarters early to prepare for the flight. He will undergo periodic physical and psychological ex- aminations, bone up on space road maps 50 stars and ground features will be readily recog- nized when he looks out of his spaceship as it zips around the world at 17,5OOO miles an hour, and lie will hold numerious con sultations on proere>>ss of the mis- sile and capsule.

Secty. of Army Stahr Wants Two More Regular Army Divisions

WASHINGTON R = Secretary of the Army Elvis Stahr Jr. has indicated that if the Army gets two more regular divisions it could cope with future cold war crises without calling up Nation al Guardsmen and reservists.
 The indication came Monday when Stahr announced that the Army has corrected most of the clothing and equipment shortages, poor living condition= and idle ness problems which prompted complaints from citizen soldiers ordered to active duty.
 Informed sources said the regu- lar Army probably will be in- creased to 16 divisions, with an overall strength of about 96O, ,O0O men.
 The Army now totals more than a million men -14 regular di- visions. plus twe National Guard divisions and more than 400 small er Guard and Reserve units mus tered into active service.
 Tn all, 119,000 Guardsmen and Reservists have been called to the colors since early October and Stahr said ian Army-wide survey showed only slightly more than 1000 soldier gripes.'
 Field reports indicate clearly that "the morale of the over whelning majority of individuals called to duty is high," Stahr told a news conference.
 The need for an immediate in- crease in the Army's combat strength, Stahr said, "could only be met by calling up trained Ma tional Guardsmen and Reservists. l" Larger draft calls would not pro- vide the needed strength in time, he added.

Alaska Taxpayers to Receive Revised Forms

Commissioner of Revenue, Peter Gatz, announces that in few days the revised 1861 Alaska net in- come tax and school tax return will be mailed to all Alaska tax payers. The amended school tax law passed during the 1860 leg islative session became effective Jan. 1, 1861.

Eight adults will appear in
court here on disorderly con-
duct charges growing out of
their arrests for participating
in protest demonstrations
against a cafeteria denying
service to Negro patrons.
Included is Clara Luper,
leader of the demonstration
and advisor of the Oklahoma
City NAACP Youth Council
which has conducted a con-
inuous sit-in campaign since
1858.
To date it has resulted in
116 varied eating establish
ments opening their facilities
to Negroes.
Charges against Father Rob-
ert G.. McDole, a white Roman
Catholic priest, one of the
leaders in the integration
movement, were dropped at
an earlier Municipal Court
hearing.
Judge Hills Sanford, in dis
missing the charge, said that
Father McDole was ION a frol-
ic of his own, and his super
iors have far more jurisdiction
than l."
However, Bishop Reed, Fa-
ther McDole's superior, i'm

If world tensions worsen, he
said, total Federal spending
probably will increase both in
a bsolute and proportionate
terms. But. he continued, ade-
quate economic growth will
produce more than enough rev.
enue to pay for increased ex-
penditures without raising tax
rates.
Turning Point Held Near
The budget director said the
economy apparently is "juSt
about at the turning point"
leading to recovery from the
recession. He conceded that
the Presidents anti-recession
program so far can be credited
more with psychological effects
than with measurable contribu-
tionS to recovery.
Even with recovery, Mr.. Bell
warned, unemployment prob
ably will not fall below about 6
per cent this year. The "in-

rate, he indicated, is not yet
in sight.

told the Joint Economic Com

This Nation can afford

capacity to produce-a limit it
has not approached for several
years. The relevant cri-
terion in determining the desir-
ability of a proposed use of

is its value to the country in
comparison to the value of using
the same resources for other
purposes, public or private"
Mr.. Bell testified on the ad-

while presenting figures on
President Kennedys reviSions
of the Eisenhower administra-
tons budgets. His figures
elaborated on the Presidents
budget message of last Friday.
On the question of broad pol

to move ahead" in such fields
as education. health, welfare,
natural resources, public ia
cilities and research, as well
as defense.
If world tensions decrease,
he said, it may be possible to

Secretary Of Defense Nc
Namara today ordered the
heads of the military services

assure that Negroes and other
minority groups are given equal
employment opportunity.
Personnel actions and en-
ployment practices must be
based solely on merit and fit
ness without regard to race,

gin," Mr.. Mcnamara said in a

ordinates.
At the same time, Mr.. Nc
Namara issued a memo to all
civilian defense employees call
ing attention to President Ken
nedy's recent executive order
stressing equality of opportunity
for all citizens.
This principle of equal op-
portunity without regard to
race, creed, color or national
origin, is the firm policy Of the
Department of Defense" Mr.
Mcnamara said. "It is a policy
to which I shall give continuing
and positive emphasis"
The Pentagon chief directed

that:

Both States Won't

Flying to Topeka
BY BERNARD GWERTZMAN
Star Staff Writer

TOPEKA, Kans., Mar. 81
The Kansas House deliberately
refrained from acting on the
District vote amendment this
morning to await possible ac-
ton by the Ohio Senate later
in the afternoon.
Both the Sunflower and
Buckeye States seek the privi-
lege of being the 38th State to
ratify the amendment giving
District residents the vote for
President and Vice President
in 1864.
AS he had said earlier, Kan
sas House Speaker William
Mitchell declared he would not
take the Senate-paSSed reSolu-
ton before the House until he
learns that Ohio has ratified it.
There was still some question
that Ohio would act first, how
ever.
Representative Mitchell later
telephoned the Ohio Senate
majority leader, Senator c..
Stanley Mechem, Republican
Of Jacksonville, and requested
that Ohio let Kansas have the
honor of making the amend
ment official.
After making the phone call,
Representative Mitchell told
reporters that Senator Mechem
had declined to make any
commitment except to bring up
the request at a caucus of Ohio
Senate Republicans scheduled
for later in the day.
The Kansas House acted on
routine legislation after it
opened for business at 10 am.
The only squabble arose over
the bill authorizing funds for
state veterans organizations.
Composer to Play Songs
Most legislators were looking
forward to joint session of
both houses scheduled for 2:10
pm. Washington time, when
Composer Meredith Wilson was
slated to play some new songs
he had written in honor Of
Kansas. His plane was ground
ed in Los Angeles, however, and
he didn't make it today.
Mr.. Mitchell, speaker of the
Republican dominated House,
said in an interview early this
morning that Ohio should be
gracious" for two reasons
first, that this is Kansas CEN
tennial year, and second and
more important, that Republi-
can National Chairman Thrus-
ton B. Morton will be in To-

The House today passed by a
voice vote a bill to increase the
Districts general sales tax from
2 to 3 per cent.
Also approved was an amend
ment to the bill which would
wipe out any plans the city
might have had to build park
ing facilities.
The brief discussion of the
bill, which took place with only
a handful of members on the
floor, included an announce

on the District committee, that
he shortly would move to set up
