.JFK Said Not Opposed to Red China In JUN.

LONDON tR - In a reversal of long-standing policy, President Kennedy's Administration has de- cided not to oppose U. N. debate next fall on Red China's bid for a seat in the United Nations, in- formed diplomats reported today.
 Instead the U. s. government is working on new strategy to keep Peiping out of the world body - at least until 1862. The diplomats said Kennedy told British Prime Minister Harold MacMillan at their meeting last week he needs at least 12 months to prepare Americans to accept the Red Chinese into the world or ganization.
 The informants, familiar with some details of President Ken nedy's talks with MacMillan in Washington last week, gave this account:
 MacMillan told Kennedy the West is running out of votes in the United Nations to keep the question of seating Communist China off the U. N. Assembly agenda and that an attempt next fall to prevent a full debate or the issue will carry the danger of a humiliating defeat.
 Kennedy generally agreed. H. indicated Washington, too, think the moratorium cannot be sus tained But it emerged clearl, that he considers the Americal people need more time in whicl to accustom themselves to tn idea of Peiping's entry into tn United Nations.

Moscow TV Shows First Space Man

LONDON lR - Moscow tele- vision presented picture of the Soviet Unions first space man today, describing him as a man with "a good honest smile"
 The portrait of Maj. Yuri A. Gagarin was shown and then came this broadcast comment, re- peated by Moscow radio:
 "On the screen appears the image of a man aged 25-28 with a kind, Russian face, eyes set well apart, fine bushy brows and high forehead.
 "He wears a flying helmet, a light overall suit. He smiles good honest smile. And is there any need to add that this man who has been the first to dare to fly to space, to reach for the stars, to look down on our earth, is a man of a very great and very real character. This is evident in his smile, in the intelligent, fine eyes,"
 Gagarin was 27 just a month ago.
 He is married to Valentino Ga garin, 26, who also has a scienti- fife background.
 They have two daughters, Ye- lena, 2, and Galya, just a month old.
 The Cosmonaut has an ideal Soviet background: His father, a joiner, his mother a housewife.
 Gagarin was born March 9, 1884. AS a child of ', just start ing school, he and his family ex- perienced the Nazi invasion and gled into the hinterlands.

Egan Signs Six Bills, Bringing Total to 67

JUNEAU R - Gov. Egan sign ed six more bills into law today, including measures implementing the sale of $6 million in general obligation bonds.

 The general obligation bonding bills will provide $2 million for construction of a new gymnasium and water system improvements at the University Of Alaska, SIS million for bush airfields and $2.5 million for hospital construction and equipment.

Young Russian Astronaut Orbits
 The Earth En One Hour and Half

while Soviet publications and radio stations went wild with joy. So did the man in the street. Reds Tn Fever of Excitement
 Tonight in a fever of excite ment, Russians heard, for the first time in history, the sound of a human voice coming from outer space. Moscow radio broad cast what it called a recording of a conversation Gagarin had with the earth control center while he was in orbit. The atmo- spherics were heavy but his words, in deep voice, were un- derstandable. These were the messages reporting his flight pro- gresSing normally.
 There was no advance word to tracking stations outside the So- viet Union, and apparently none of them caught the space craft while it was in orbit. Washington Space officials said there was a trace of the rocket case which split away from the man-carrying capsule. The last-stage rocket may stay aloft a couple of weeks, a Smithsonian scientist said at Cam bridge, Mass.
 Mo scow radio triumphantly blared the news to every corner of the Soviet Union and it struck with enormous impact around the world.
 Sir Bernard Lowell of Britain's Jodrell Bank Observatory called it "the greatest scientific achieve ment in the history of man."
 President Kennedy, hailing Gar outstanding technical accomplish ment," sent congratulations to So- viet scientists and engineers"

By Stanley Johnson

MOSCOW R - A young Rus sian aStronaut has orbited around the world in an hour and half, radioing back reassurances along the way, and landed safely after the first human conquest of space.
 This was disclosed by the So- viet Union today in an announce ment hailing one of history's gre a { e st scientific accomplish ments. It also has great military significance and raises the pros pect of further Soviet firmness in dealing with the affairs of the world.
 Mankind's first space traveller, Mai. Yuri Alekseyevich Gagarin, was in orbit one hour and 29 min utes before reverse blasts per mitted his ship to settle back to earth by parachute. He was in the air a total of of one hour 48 minutes.
 This is how Moscow radio described what took place:
 The space ship was reelected into the air at 9:07 a. m. and Is minutes later the swarthy young pilot radioed "the flight is pro- ceeding normally. I feel we'll" l7.000 Miles an Hour
 Less than an hour later, as he Whistled around the globe at more than 1000 miles an hour six times faster than man ever travelled before - he reported he was withstanding his state of weightlessness well.
 q am watching the earth," he said "The visibility is good. hear you we'll
 The space ship made one swift turn around the globe. Then, ac- cording to a Soviet scientific writer, the ship was slowed by reverse blasts and soon settled to earth by parachute.
 The points of departure and landing were not annodnced.
 Praise was heaped on the as tronaut by Premier Khrushchev

No Official Word on
 U-2 Pilot Powers Release

MILLEDGEVILLE, Ga. R - The wife of imprisoned U-2 pilot Francis Gary Powers said today that reports of her husbands impending release and decision to remain in the Soviet Union "were all a misunderstanding"
 "I have heard nothing official ly. I haven't heard one word that would lead me to believe such thing" said Mrs. Powers in a telephone interview from her mothers home here.
 The London Daily Mail said yesterday that Powers would be freed from a Soviet prison May 1 - exactly a year after his re- connaissance plane was shot down over the Soviet Union
 Mrs. Powers conceded that she had talked with reporter from the Mail, but denied telling him that her husband was to be re- leased.
 Mrs. Powers described her hus- band as being "as all American as you or I. He has no bitterness toward the United States. He has resigned himself to the fact that he has 10 years to serve, perhaps less with time off for good be- havior. He constantly expresses a desire to return to the United States with me"

Kennedy Admits US. Is Behind Russia In Space Exploration
 By MARVIN L. ARRoWSMITH

WASHINGTON R - President Kennedy said today it will take some time for the United States to catch up to Russia in space exploration and in putting a man. ned vehicle into orbit
 The President told a news con- ference, however, that he does not size up Russia's achievement as indicating any weakening of the West in the fight against Com munism.
 Kennedy again expressed ad- miration of the Soviet Unions launching man into space and bringing him safely to earth.
 As for the relative positions of the United States and Russia in space exploration, Kennedy said that is no doubt about it - i've are behind.'
 He attributed this largely to the fact that the Soviets have been able to develop much more pow erful launching rockets than this country.
 Kennedy's ninth news confer ence attracted 426 neWsmen - the largest number to turn out since he took office.
 Kennedy dealt with these other matters
 Cuba-The President said that under no conditions will U. s armed forces intervene in any up rising against the government ot Cuba's Premier Fidel Castro.
 Red China-The United State. still is opposed - under presen conditions-to admittance of Rec China to the United Nations.
 Kennedy characterized as mot accurate" report he said he had seen indicating that the United States had changed it's position re- garding debate in the United Ma tions about admitting Commun- ist China to membership.
 Laos-He is hopeful, Kennedy said, that the Soviet Union will reply this week to British pro- posals for a quick cease-fire in Laos.
 Powers Kennedy said he has no information indicating that the Soviet Union may be about to release Francis Gary Powers, the UP spy plane pilot held in prison by the Russians.

Space Hop Will Make Khrushchev a Hard Man to Deal With

WASHINGTON R - The latest space achievement by the Soviet Union is expected to harden the diplomacy of Soviet Premier Khrushchev and make him more difficult man for President Ken nedy to deal with.
 U. s. officials agreed private ly today that the launching and recovery of man-carrying space vehicle is not only an historic feat but one which is certain to strengthen Khrushchev's deter imitation to get his own way more and more on outstanding issues.
 Already the lines of a diplo- matic conflict are sharply drawn at many points. Examples include Laos, Berlin, disarmament, and the United Nations.
 Ever since the Soviet Union put the first satellite into orbit more than three years ago stu dents here of Soviet affairs have noticed a toughening trend in the policy conduct of Khrushchev, even when he was talking most enthusiastically about the need for East-West negotiations and was urging peaceful settlement of all disputes.
