Writer'S Dream Achieved
By Bethesda College Girl

A Page One byline in a large
metropolitan pa. Der is a distinc-
ton lot of young journalists
work long and hard to achieve,
but a red headed Bethesda
Miss earned one recently on
the first newspaper story she
ever attempted.
Pretty Jan Upper, Is, daugh-
ter of Mr.. and Mrs. Richard w.
Upper, 1919 Kentbury dr.,
earned her page one credit in
the Atlanta Journals onstitu-
ton last month with a story on
boys and girls from Atlanta and
Macon, who participated in the
young peoples concert at the
White House for crippled chill.
dren in the Washington area.
Jan became interested in the
affair when her cousin. 14-year-
old Virginia Brown of Macon,
Ga, arrived to stay with the
Tuppers during her appearance
with the orchestra. Despite her
youth, Ginny is an accomplished
performer on the cello piano
and organ.
Invited to attend the concert,
Jan decided the hometown
papers ought to get some cover
age on youngsters from their
areas" her mother recalls, and
on her own initiative contacted
the local bureau of the Journal.
Constitution to see if they were
sending anyone down to the
White House grounds.
"They told Jan they didn't
have the staff to cover it, but
when she volunteered to try
writing a story for them, /
guess they figured they had
nothing to lose, so they told her
to go ahead" Mrs. Upper said.
The venturesome Miss Tup-
per proceeded not only to inter-
view most of the youngsters
from the papers area who were
in the orchestra but to take her
own pictures as well. Her story
and undeveloped film were
flown to Atlanta, where the pic
lures were processed and used
with her account of the local
boys and girls participation on
page one-with byhne.
ITO say she was thrilled
would be an understatement,"
JAMS mother said, adding that
her daughter plans to major in
creative writing and art at Ben
nington College, where she was
enrolled this month.

For Vanished Child, 7

One hundred and sixty po-

searched the brush and rocks
of Rock Greek Park today for
a 7-year-old girl believed to
have been abducted from a

ahead, but said: I'VE will stay

Herbert Jackson, ST., Of 5614
Eighth street NV.
She disappeared from a play
ground adjoining the park at
Sixteenth and Kennedy streets

Her brother, Herbert, 10, told
his parents and police that
Hattie and some other colored
children were playing at the
grounds when a white man they
did not know approached the
group.
He asked some of the boys
if they would like to go SWIM
ming, suggesting he would
drive them to spot two or
three miles away. The boys re-
fused and resumed a ballgame,
while Hattie played in one of
the swings.

Although his country was

dead and wounded poured
from embattled Bizerte, Mr..
Bourguiba did not threaten

He denounced French colo

The smoke created in a ragged

Some $4,000 spectators were

a smoother performance today

Cuba AirIift
Would Bring 10000
If Castro Agrees
BY JOHN M. HIGHTOWER

Associated Press Staff Writer
The United States organized
a commercial airlift today to
give free flights from Havana
to Miami to more than 10000
Cuban refugees.
Whether Prime Minister Fidel
Castro would permit the mass
exodus was not known imme-
diately in Washington.
The State Department an
nounced last night that the
Government had arranged to
defray the cost" of transporta-
ton for the more than 10000
Cuban citizens who are cleared
to come to this country. The
overall cost was estimated at
around $350,000.
The plan was worked out
with Pan American Airways
with some special flights to
start today from Miami. The
full schedule of 10 flights daily,
each trip bringing in a little
more than 100 persons, is due
to start tomorrow, the State
Department said.
A Pan AM spokesman in
said a lot would depend

followed the suborbital trail
first flown last May 5 by Comdr
Shepard, but his journey was
much more dangerous.
Hatch Fires Prematurely
His 118 mile high, 303-
mile-long flight ended in near
tragedy when the explosive
bolts of his escape hatch fired
prematurely and he had to
scramble quickly out as water
rushed into the opening.
The wind from the whirling
blades of a rescue helicopter
drove him beneath the surface
for a moment, but his buoyant
space suit popped him back up
like a cork. He seized a 'horse
collar" rescue device lowered by
the 'copter and was hoisted to
safety.
Meantime, efforts of another
helicopter to salvage the water
filled capsule failed and the 81
million space craft with its
precious instruments and its
film record of the flight sank
beyond hope of recovery in
3-mile-deep water.
Sentiments of the National
Aeronautics and Space Admin
istration we're summed up by
one official who commented
We've got only one Gus, but
we've got plenty of space cap
Sules."
Anyway, most of the desired
information came back on radio
telemetry and the agency said
there would be no delay in the
United States space program
as result of the mishap.
President Kennedy watched
Capt. Grissom's perilous flight
on television and telephoned
