CHICAGO. April 20. - Add
the name of Marty Kutyna to
the growing list of heroes who
are making the Senators q re-
spectacle ball club.
The White Sox, rated as pen
nant contenderS, took a Ii
record against a grab-bag
Washington team into today's
windup Of a two-game series.
The White Sox barely escaped
with the opener in Washington,
but the Senator's got even yes

Bursting loose for an 1l-hit,
T-2 victory behind q Stand-out
relief performance by Kutyna.
The Senators are 2-3 for the
season and the White Sox
are 1-3.
Works 61s Innings
They were saying Kutyna
was good for only a couple Of
innings, but yesterday he went
61s innings, gave up no runs
and only four hits. He walked
nobody, struck out one.
1T took me q year and two
months Of pitching to go more
than three innings" the "a
year-old righthander said. II
never went more than three
innings last year with Kansas
City.
But things are different
now. I threw a lot Of junk out
there. I had a change-up and
the big thing was that I was
getting the ball over.
I've got more confidence
than I ever had before by being
with this new ball club. These
guys want to win"
Sid Hudson, the Washington
pitching coach, also can take q
bow. Hudson really taught
me q few things thing spring" !"
Kutyns said. He opened me
up and got me to throw q

Hudson was beaming like a
new father. He really threw
well out there today" he said.
HObaugh Wild
Ed Hobaugh, who has a
splendid minor league record
for control and was very i'm
pressive in the exhibitions,
started for the Senator'S. The
former White Sox farmland
didn't have 1t yesterday. In
the 235 innings he worked, he
gave up two runs, three hits
and five walks, uncorked two
wild pitches and also hit q
batter.
He was trying too hard" :"
Manager Mickey Vernon said.
He was little tense and he
hadn't pitched in three weeks.
Still, he had good stuff out
there. In a way, I hated to
take him out"
Vernon said he will continue
to use Kutyna as a long relief
man. I'm not worried about
how I'm used" Kutyna says,

But much OF the public
plainly feels that, because he
hears out what the half-paci-

ating his own mind.
Indeed, this coiumnist is

This is no wish, open or
concealed, for preventive
world war" This is instead
a consensus that world war
will be avoided only by an
early and genuine show of
American power and deter
mination. This is a conviction
that world war will indeed
come in the end, with this

A kilometer is roughly three
fifths Of a mile, so the dis
tance Of 20 such linear units

than 10 miles in which to
turn up the really terrific We

Alternative to the Freedom Rides

the law to be carried out.
With all the loud talk heard
nowadays about "obeying
the law" and giving "ad-
herence" to the processes of
"law and order" it is sur
prising that the Department
of Justice, knowing of the
possibilities of violence, didn't
exert itself to prevent the
demonstrations of violence
at the source. For if the de-
partment has the power, as
it now claims, to send United
States marShals to take care
of local disorders, it might
be assumed to have the pow
er to enjoin Freedom Riders
from provoking violence in
bus terminals.
The handling Of these
matters gives an impression
of impulsiveness and Of fail
ing to think things through.
AS it is, American prestige"
has been permitted to get
some unfavorable publicity
abroad. There have been, ac-
cording to Senator Eastland.
some Communist sympathiz-
erS active in connection with
the Freedom Riders crusade
and, while the Communists,
Of course, don't originate
these controversies, there is
reason to believe that the
Communist apparatus does
help to keep the pot boiling.
All this would have been
avoided and the United States
would have given the world a
splendid example of how to
deal with the segregation
issue by lawful methods if the
Department of Justice had
been alert in the first in
stance and if it had persuaded
the Interstate Commerce
Commission several weeks
ago to issue the necessary
orders about interstate travel,
restaurant service and the
use of restrooms in the bus
terminals.
Incidentally, there is only
one Supreme Court decision
which throws some legal
doubt on any of these mat
ters. Strangely enough, the
high court here refused not
long ago to disturb a Virginia
State court decision which
said that the restrooms in the
Federal Court House at Nor
folk could remain segregated.
Just why Federal judges
themselves and their staffs
were given in this instance
the legal privilege of separate
but equal facilities" Is in
deed a mystery.

Soviet Rocket Launching Secret?

The United States early

propelled sleds in testing the
ability Of human beings to
tolerate great acceleration
and sudden deceleration.
These, indeed, were helpful
preliminarieS to rocket ex-
periments. We repeatedly
would have gone ahead with
the larger ramps for firing
the huge rockets of today
but for the problem Of side
gravity. If the Russians are
sending rockets up from

from one mountain slope and
UP another. they have solved
this problem. We put 1t aside
in the crash program neces-
sary to get going in the space
age.
The French believe this
secret. hidden In the Ural
Mountains, is the major
reason for the Soviet secrecy
about the launching and
landing Of Maj. Gagarin
after his orbit around the
earth. They did not wish to
reveal details which differ
from the conventional.
An added advantage to the
Soviet system is the financial
saving. If the French have,
indeed, exposed a secret we
will hear more Of 1t.

French Paper Says Rocket Carriage Ride
Up Mountain Eliminates First STAGE

A combined French trade
paper. lie Journal Du Xxx
Century" and "L'Auto Jour-
nal" has produced what it
says is the secret Of the more
successful Soviet space probes
and. perhaps, what we meant
when we said the Inflated
U-2 plane had revealed 10
cations Of Russian missile
sites.
Titled lie Secret Des Fu-
sees Russes," the French
writers included with the text
a dramatic artists conception
Of the secret.
The Soviets have taken
apparently, an old idea and
made it work. Their space
launchings are not the ones
which We have become ac-
customed to see, on TV and
in photographs on the printed
page, from Cape Canaveral.
The French artist depicts,
and the text describes, a
miles-long launching track,
presumably in the Ural Noun
tains. 1t begins high up on
the slope of one range. It
dips into a long valley and
climbs another slope. The
final lift is at IS degrees.
The space vehicle rides a
rocket-propelled carriage to
the peak. This carriage, in
its downward swoop and up
ward climb. attains, of
course, a terrific velocity.
This speed is gained without
the need to lift the fuel con-
tainer as is necessary in the
conventional launchings such
as we make at Canaveral.
One of Comdr. Shepard's ma
jor concerns was whether or
not this stage of his bird"
would disconnect as arranged.
He noted, in his personal ac-
count Of his ride, that it was
at this anticipated moment
that his pulse beat became
most rapid. The booster did
disconnect. From then on, he
wrote, he had no real concern.
If the French report is, in
fact, the secret, the Soviet
space probe leaves the track
with the necessary velocity
to enable it to get into the
planned orbit without the
drag of a first-stage weight.

Soviet space rocket rides, is

Were the so-called Free
dom Rides really necessary?
Gould not the same objective
have been accomplished by
the Kennedy administration
in another way, and could
not mob violence thus have
been avoided?
These questions are asked
because Attorney General
Robert Kennedy has just
petitioned the Interstate
Commerce Commission to
issue regulations banning
segregation in waiting rooms,
restrooms and restaurants at
bus stations throughout the
country.
Why wasn't this approach
taken in the first place? Just
after the Supreme Courts
1854 decision, the Interstate
Commerce Commission in
1855 ruled that segregation
of interstate passengers on
trains and buses was un-
lawful.
Since the 1855 regulation
apparently was inadequate
and didn't cover restaurants
or reStrooms, it would have
been a simple matter for the
Attorney General to ask for
the issuance of a broader
regulation and this could
have been publicized widely.
Then any Freedom Rides
would have been unnecessary
because, if there were any
violation, it would have been a
routine procedure to ask the
Federal Court to issue an
injunction against those who
diSregarded the Federal regu-
lation.
The language Of the At
torney Generals petition
filed early this week indi-
Gates clearly that he finds the
1855 regulation is not de-
tailed enough. The Attorney
General says:
Recent events that have
taken place in certain States
have disclosed a breakdown
of guarantees Of nondiscrimi-
natory transportation to pas
sengers in, interstate COM
merce.
THE PRONUNCIATION Of rules
and regulations by the In
terstate Commerce Commits
sion is necessary to create
order out Of chaos, to lessen
the possibility of mob action

flow Of commerce and threat

gers, to guarantee to all

passengers their rights under
the Interstate Commerce Act,
and to vindicate those rights
against inconsistent and un-
lawful action by State and
local authorities.
"The lack of rules and reg
ulations clearly enunciating
the rights of all passengers in
travelling on interstate motor
carriers and clearly setting
forth their rights in waiting
room facilities, restroom IA
cilities and eating and drink
ing facilities, has given rise
to confusion on the part of
the motor carriers as to their
duty to their passengers and
has contributed, and will con-
tinue to contribute, to unrest
and civil disorder.
"The Department of JUS
tice has received complaints,
and can present evidence, of
many instances of discrimin-
atory treatment of passen-
gers on motor carriers in
interstate commerce.
All this merely deepens the
mystery. Here was a course of
action which the Federal
Government might we'll have
taken earlier this year when
1t first learned that the Free
dom Riders were planning an
invasion" Of Mississippi and
Alabama. Did the Depart
ment of Justice tell the Free
dom Riders about it, or did
officials there close their eyes
to plans for Indictment of the
populace which was newt
able if the demonstrations
were permitted? 1t will be re-
called that Mayor Robert
Wagner recently denied a
permit to George Rockwell,
champion Of Nazi doctrines,
when he wanted to conduct a
mass meeting in New York
and bring on a similar type
Of demonstration.
1t begins to look as If the
Department Of Justice, which
is headed by the Presidents
brother. either did not know
what it could do through an
Interstate Commerce Com
mission regulation or hesi-
tated to interfere with the
Freedom Riders propaganda
plans. The mere request by
the department for such an
order would have certainly
put the Freedom Riders on
the spot, and they might have
been prevailed upon to wait

ever, a substantial fear that
such men are incapable of

The theme Of the tour
which will benefit the asso-

cent reservations. All Of the
nine houses to be opened
have been done over during
the last two years.
The former home Of Mr..

too large to be practical as
a residence, has been con-

are both handsome and
practical.
The Lloyd House, recently
rescued from demolition by
Mr.. Robert v. New. now
houses his offices. Opened
for the first time since its
restoration, it is a stately
mansion Of the mid
Georgian period.
One of the most unusual
houses on the tour this year,
is the home Of Mr.. and Mrs,
David r. Rosenthal. The
outside is Of the mid
Victorian period and the in
terror has been rebuilt to re-
fleet the interest Of the own
