engines appeared exceptionally
big. Officials said there were
published reports nearly two
years ago that the BoundeI
would be nuclear-propelled, but
that the new Soviet bomber
is powered by turbojet engines
They said the Bounder is
about 200 feet long and has q
wingspan of about 80 feet.
Some observers suggested the
Bounder is somewhat compar-
able to this country's advanced
B-58 Hustler, also a four-jet
delta wing craft, which is de-
signed to travel up to 1900
miles an hour.
However, the B-58 is less than
half as long as the Bounder-
96.8 feet-and has a shorter
wingSpan-56.8 feet.
The 80-ton B-58, which can
fly higher than $4,000 feet, re-
Gently flew nearly 3,70O miles
from New York to Paris in

utes and 81 seconds.
viii Buy 116 B-5Ss
The United States plans to
buy 116 B-58s. One wing of
SO craft now is being formed.
The United States heavy
strategic bomber is the eight
jet B-52, which travels at about
$50 miles an hour. 1t is 157
feet long and has a Widespread
of 185 feet. The B-52 is a
sweptwing plane. Faster craft
are of the narrower delta-wing
design. There are nearly 500
B-52S.
The remainder Of the United
States long-range bomber fleet
is made up of about 1000 aging
Bats, a six-jet plane due to be
retired gradually. The 600
plus-miles-an-hour BAT is lot
feet long and has a Widespread
of lie feet.
With the advent Of the mis-
sile age, the Kennedy admin
istration has decided against
buying any more B-52s or
B-58s. 1t also has cut back
development Of the 2,000-mile-
an-hour BIO bomber.
In passing the nearly $4S
billion defense money bill on
Wednesday, the House ticketed
$448, ,840 900 for more manned
bombers. 1t urged a speedup

the administration the oppor-
tunity to use part of the funds
for B-52s and B-58s, if it should
change its mind.

Sailor Rebuffed
On Challenge to
Marriage Curb

A sailors argument that a
regulation requiring servicemen
to get their company COM
mander's written permission to
marry bears no resemblance
to military duty was turned
down yesterday.
The United States Court of
Military Appeals, in a 2-to-1
decision, upheld the military
rule governing servicemen on
foreign Soil-and the court
martial of the sailor, Roger M.
Wheeler. %.
Wheeler was convicted of
marrying a Philippine national
without permission while he
was stationed on the islands
last year. He appealed on
grounds the regulation was an
unlawful restraint"
In turning him down, the
court pointed out it had ruled
previous regulations covering
marriage illegal. But the new
one is "a wholly reasonable
limitation of the individuals
freedom of action in a COM
mand located on foreign SOIL"
the court continued.
Judge Homer Ferguson disa-
greed. He charged that an
order requiring commanders
permission to marry is illegal
on its face"
There is no holier state and
certainly nothing more per-
sonal to an individual than his
intent to embark upon the

Il am confident that in
Project Mercury every reason
able precaution has been taken
to minimize this risk"
A Mercury space capsule of
the same type to be used next
week survived an Unexpectedly
severe test flight yesterday.
The experiment was the last
one scheduled in the Mercury
program before the aStronaut
is sent aloft, and its success
provided renewed assurance
that man can survive the rigor-
GUS takeoff and landing.
The Little Joe cluster of solid
propellant rockets was sched-
uled to send the 3.000-pound
space craft to an altitude of
about 10000 feet for a test
under extreme stress of its
escape system.
At the launching, however,
one Of the six solid-propellant
rockets, clustered together with
two dummy rockets as ballast,
was slow to fire.
This caused the vehicle to
pitch over into a shallow flight
path with the result that it
had reached only 10000 feet
when the Little Joe burned out.
The escape rocket on a 16-
foot tower above the capsule
fired automatically on schedule,
jerking the craft away from
the booster rocket with an
added speed of about 325 miles
an hour. This took the capsule
! to a peak altitude of $4,000
feet, instead of the 10000 feet
anticipated.

miles an hour was the same as
had been planned for the

teachers.
The panels, which met again
this morning at Rockville's Rob-
ert E. Peary High School, all
discussed money as a means
of solving these problems.
Top teachers should be paid
as much as administrators, "
one parent suggested. They
should be able to reach $4,000
to $4,000 a year. There's no
reward for being a teacher"
Schools should pay for in
service training-industry does.
If we want our teachers to
qualify and keep up we must
pay also" an administrator
said.
ITO solve the problem of
supply and demand for teach
ers, they must be able to earn
salaries comparable to other
professions requiring the same
training" one discussion group
agreed.
DR.. Peabody cautioned the
group that money alone will
not do the JOB" He said the
dedicated teacher" was es-
sential.
But we must face up to the
problem of what we have to
offer the high school senior to
attract him to a lifetime COM
mitment to teaching"
He noted the high percentage
of teachers-"both men and
women who teach until
they find something better to
do" He said that in II profeS-
sions requiring comparable
background, teachers earned
less than half of the other pro-
feSsions' salaries.
Final recommendations of
the conference were to be made

to death in the first days.
She said she saw Jewish chill
dren killed when they cried.
Young men, forced to simulate
Polish guerrillas in action
against the Germans, were
slaughtered in the forest, she
said. Their arms and legs
were broken first"

Jews through the streets by
their boards until the hair
ripped away, she said.
