Seniors VS.. Underclassmen
A game which promises to be of
much interest will be played in the
Cape Hatteras School gym on Tues
day, February z, at 1880 pm.
Opposing the underclassmen Blue
Devils will be the Senior Globe
trotters, a team made up of senior
boys who will be doing their best
to play like the famous Harlem
GIobetrotters. The Senior Globe
trotters will be outfitted in black
face and red leotards which should
make the game well worth the
price Of admission. The Underclass-
men Blue Devils are the rest of the
regular boys team. Since about
half Of the regular first string are
seniors, the game should be about
evenly divided as to talent, and
should be a close game. Playing
for the Globetrotters will be Dewey
Edwards, Gary Gray, Clarence Jen-
cite, George Price, Ronnie Price,
Johnny Dudley, Mack Riggs, Ho-
mer Styron, and Roger Sutton.

Gains House Support

a key member of the Democrat
ic Study Group of approx
mately 100 House Democratic

would vote In the Democratic
caucus next week to drop Mr.,
Colmer. He indicated he would
urge that several other Missis-

Representative Holifield of
California. Study Group chair
man, announced that a COM
mittee including himself, Mr..
Blatnik and Representative

recommand at a study group
conference that the Rayburn
recommendation be supported
with some reservations.
He served notice that unless

Democrats approve the plan
when submitted to the party
caucus next week, I'VE will con-
slider such other action as may
be necessary"
Mr.. Rayburn nevertheless
voiced confidence that his sug-
gestion would be accepted by
an overwhelming majority" of
the House Democrats who will
caucus next week, probably
Tuesday. He predicted that
more than half" of the
approximately ITO Southern

anyone.

As the soldiers neared
the end of their rendition,
the two tier collapsible

in-space program was described
as marginal" because the
Atlas. on which it depends,
may prove Inadequate for the
job"
The report deplored any over
emphasis on the Importance OF
putting a man into orbit
around the earth "as an end
unto itself" But it said this
would provide a necessary
stepping stone toward the
establishment Of a space sta
ton and for the eventual
manned exploration of the
moon and the planets"
The ultimate goal of land
ing a man on the moon or a
planet and returning him to
earth is not possible to accom-
plish with any vehicles that
are presently under develop
ment, 1t warned.
While compelled to criticize
our space program and its
management" the Wiesner re-
port said recognition should be
given ito the dedication and
talent which brought very real
progress in space during the
last few years."
1t added that "our scientific
accomplishments to date are
impressive. but unfortunately,
against the background of
Soviet accomplishments with
large boosters. they have not
been impressive enough"
An important factor in
Americas present leadership in
scientific exploration of space
was our initial advantage in
Instrumentation, which helped
to offset our disadvantage in
propulsion" the report said.
But it warned:
On Advisory Committee
I'VE must not delude our
selves that it will be easy for
the United States to maintain
in the future a prominent posi-
tion in space science. The
USSR has a number of COM
petent scientists. It will be
easier for them to catch UP
with us in instrument develop
ment than for our engineers to
catch up with the Russians in
the techniques Of propulsion. +"
The report also asserted that
NASA has not given enough at
tention to providing for basic
research and advanced de-
velopment in the field of aero
nautics. 1t said there is evil
dence that the Russians and
possibly the British are sur
passing us in this field" and
consequently in the develop
ment Of supersonic commercial

Speaker Rayburn's painless
plan to break the House Rules
Committee blockade on legis-
lation without purging or en-
barrassing Democrats gained
strong support in both parties
today.
It also aroused some South
Iern Democratic conservative
opposition and caused some
Democratic liberals to reserve
judgment. But the proposal
to add two Democrats and one
Republican to the present l2-
member committee and thus
weaken Republican Southern
Democratic coalitions seemed
almost certain to be adopted
next week.
The proposed party ratio
would be 10 instead Of eight
Democrats and five instead Of
four Republicans.

cided on by Speaker Rayburr
