-Four candidates fighting fol
one seat on the Arlington
County Board revealed Their
campaign strategies during
their first joint appearance last
night.
The candidates are Democrat
William Wetmore, Republican
Kenneth Ludwig, Independent
Julius Brenner and Roye Lowry
who represents the nonparti-
san coalition, Arlingtonians for
a Better County (ABC).
Pledging to preserve Airing
ton as an Outstanding residen-
tial community" Mr.. Wetmore
unveiled a platform which does
not differ markedly from that
Of the ABC, which has won
every board election since 1856.
Presses for Schools
II stand for a school system
second to none, the best police
and fire protection, highways,
streets, libraries, recreation ia
cilities and other government
services that can be provided
within the sound limits of the
financial system available. I do
not believe in providing mini
mum services that can be fl
nanced on a pay-aS-you-go
basis. On the other hand, l do
not believe in satisfying every
conceivable desire or whim by
unlimited debt financing"
Heartily embracing the ABC
record, Mr.. Lowry declared
that the coalition has rescued
the country from backward
looking, inept machine rule" "
He called the coalitions per-
formance impressive" in Great
ing the public facilities Mr..
Wetmore mentioned.
"ABC has fought vigorously
against the intrusion of COM
mercial and apartment de-
velopments into e-family
residential areas. I intend to
continue that fight" he said.
Prudent Fiscal Policy
II pledge to support con-
tinued improvement of Airing
tons excellent schools, to con-
tinue ABC's prudent fiscal
policy, to continue the ABC's
effective planning policy, and
to keep Arlington the good
place to do business -. a good
place to live"

Probation Report

The. United States Court of
Appeals is considering whether
it is entitled to see confidential,
pre-sentence reports prepared
by the District probation office
for District Court Judges.
Eight appellate judges yes
terday heard arguments on this
issue, which grew out of a
District Court judges refusal
to grant appeal bond in a mar
cotics case.
The issue was created early
in January when District Court
Judge Joseph r. jackson de-
MED an appeal bond after
handing out stiff Jail terms to
five narcotics violators. Fol-
lowing this, the appellate court
requested Judge Jackson to
give his reasons for denying
the bond, adding a request
that he submit a copy of pre-
sentence reports to the appel
late court, if material in these
secret reports was used as a
reason for denying the bond.

for medical services" No limit
was set on the scope and dura-
ton Of the benefits the State
could offer, nor was there any
overall dollar limit on the
amount Of money the Federal
Government would put in.
Programs Authorized
The bill specifically per-
mitted States to set up pro-
grams providing hospital and
nursing home, outpatient, clin-
ical and home nursing care, to
pay for doctors and nurses,
dentists. physical therapists,
osteopaths, chiropractors, op-
tometrists and Christian Sci
ence practitioners.
When the bill was before
Congress, some legislators ex-
pressed the fear that the pro-
gram would be terribly costly
to the Federal Treasury. Others
argued that it would fail to
to meet the needs Of the elderly
because the States, with lin
tied finances for their share of
the cost. would set the eligibil-
ity limits too high or restrict
the benefits 700 severely.
It went into effect only last
October, and thus far only six
States, Puerto Rico and the
Virgin Islands have put pro-

Els States Abstain
Two other States have sub
mitted their plans but have
not yet put them in opera
ton. In eleven States pro-
posals to authorize the pro-
gram or appropriate funds for

State believes it can 60 ahead
without new legislation.
Eighteen States and the Dis
trict Of Columbia are still con-
sidering whether they want to
participate. Thirteen States
have informed the Federal
Government they do not plan
to take action on the program
In the near future.
A spokesman for the Ameri-
can Medical Association, which
supported the 1850 plan but
opposes the Kennedy admins
tration's new proposal, says,
"the program is going as fast
as can be expected in view of
the schedule Of the legislatures.

Virginia officials say they
believe no new legislative
authorization is needed, but
the State as yet has taken
no administrative action to
begin the program.
District officials are still
studying the desirability Of
participating. A chief issue
under discussion Is the pro-
vision in the Federal law
that no residence re-
quirement be applied to
beneficiaries of the new
program. The District cur

Experts Hail
Orbit Shift

VANDENBERG AIR FORCE
BASE, Calf. Feb. 20 (AP).-
An experiment high in space
has proved that American sky
spy satellites will be able to
maneuVer in orbit-a major
step ahead in their own de-
tense.
A 2,100-pound Discoverer
XXI satellite proved this Satur-
day by restarting its engine on
radio command from earth.
Specialists see high signifi-
eance in the development.
No longer viii an orbiting

Or it can change the shape,

Solid Fuel Rockets Get
California Test Center
By WILLIAM HINES
Star Science Writer

SAN JOSE, Calf. Lonely
canyons in the hills behind
this burgeoning city will soon
be reverberating to the roar
Of some Of the largest rockets
HveH built.
Five square miles of this de-
serted area was taken over a
year ago by the United Tech
biology Corp. as a development
and test center for large solid
tueled rockets. In a bliz build
ing program involving thou
sands of men and an unre-
vealed number of millions of
dollars, UTC in one year has
brought the center to virtual
completion.
The only limit on size rec
pgnized by UTC in its rocket
development program is the
ability Of transportation media
TO move loads. For practical
purposes this means rockets
up to- 10 feet. in diameter
roughly the size of the Atlas
and Titan missiles.
But UTC engineers. includ-
ing Eugene Roberts, test CEN
ter chief, think in terms of far
greater thrust capabilities
than the relatively puny third
of-a-million-pound output of
Atlas and Titan.
Development of such super
rockets is still in the future,
Mr.. Roberts points out. But ex-
perience with smaller engines
makes 1t clear that the big
ones can be developed without
difficulty, he says.
Solid Fuel Favored
Missile and space experts
have long favored the idea OF
solid-fuel rockets over conven-
tional kerosene liquid oxygen
types for a number Of reasons,
including simplicity and rela-
tive ease Of launching. Count
downs for solid-fuel rockets
are usually much shorter than
those Of the kerosene "lox"
devices.
But outweighting these the
oretical advantages, up to now,
has been the practical consid-
Grafton that pound for pound
OF thrust. liquid-fuel rockets
are more transportable. This
Is because the empty rocket,
its kerosene fuel and its liquid
oxygen can all be moved sepa-
rately to the launching site
and, assembled there.

dent of the University CT Missouri.
DR.. Ellis was lauding Lincoln's role
in the state educational scheme
and upholding the move toward
desegregation as moral support
was given by the incoming and
outgoing state Governors who sat
on the platform.
This, said Mr.. Daniel, showed the
climate fostered by public officials
in Missouri-even before the de-
segregation decision. He pointed
out that in Missouri Federal Dis
trict Judge Sam Blair had ordered
the admission of Negroes to the
University of Missouri even before
the Supreme Court ruling.
Lincoln University was founded
in 1866 by Negro veterans of the
62nd and 65th United States In
fantry Divisions. 1t became a state
institution in 1879, and is supported
chiefly by state funds today.
White students have never been
formally excluded from Lincoln,
and its faculty and staff have
never been limited to Negroes.
In the fall of 1854, 18 white STU
dents enrolled at Lincoln. The
