For the first time in the
history of the world, a man
has gone UP into space who
was watched by millions Of
people both before he as
cended and when he came
down to earth.
This is, however, only one
of a series of "firstS."
For the first time, a man
in capsule was able to con-
troll and guide his flight while
in the air. The Soviet aStro-
naut who orbited the earth
was Just an inanimate pas
Senger.
For the first time, a man
who flew into space was
photographed as he entered
the capsule before he as
cended and Immediately after
he came down. The Soviet
aStronaut, on the other hand,
was not photographed by
anyone except government
representatives. No free press
was present afterward to
make its own record or freely
to interrogate the aStronaut.
For the first time, a nation
sent q man into space and
paid for the project out Of
q small fraction Of its tax
receipts. No class of human
society was deprived Of any
thing by reason of that ex-
penSe-and no hardship was
imposed upon the people.
The enormous sums spent to
send Soviet satellites aloft
have been taken from a
people deprived Of the neceS-
sites Of life. All this was or
dered merely to advance the
propaganda Of totalitarian
rulers.
America is rightfully en-
phasizing to the world that
its achievement was in the
open where nothing was
hidden. To this day, the true
facts about the flight of
Maj. Gagarin of Russia are
still unavailable, either to
the press or to the interna-
tional scientific organization
which must eventually pass

when you lose your rep
utation," said an able and
experienced Senator, there
is nothing left to do but start
all over again. That is what
we must do. We have lost
our reputation. If we are
patient. wise and strong we
can regain It,"
We have not wholly lost
our reputation. But we have
been gravely hurt. And we
must begin the task Of re-
gaining it.
The texts have been an
nounced. We will, the Pres
ident has said, defend free
dom wherever there is q will
to have it. He spoke Somber-
ly because he had discovered,
with a sort Of shock, there
presently is not in Cuba or
Laos any great will on the
part of the average person
for freedom. There also are
other areas where there is
not now any great conviction
about freedom. In his ears
may have been the sound Of
a half-million Cubans massed
before Castro cheering the
news that elections would
not be held.
We are in direct competi-
ton with burning, unreason-
ing nationaliSmS and dire
economic needs, and indi-
rectly with communism
which says to them, "Our
system will help you get in
dependence, more food and
jobs in a hurry"
The President said, too,
that our greatest adversary
is not communism but "our
own unwillingness to do what
must be DONE"
In good thine he will tell
us what must be done. Mean
while, we might do well to
undergo determination.

Navy III particular. He han
died himself with modeSty,
tact and skill. not only in
his public appearances at
the White House and at the
Capitol but in the press con-
ference that was televised to
the Nation.
Here was an example of a
naval officer trained, of
course. for the physical hard
ships he might have to en-
dure. But where did the
training come from that en-
abled him to take in his
stride the adulation and ap-
plause that we're Showered

hood-the product Of a free
environment and the heritage
of sturdy American parents
can be given the real
credit. For the risks were
great and a steady-nerved
young man took them brave
ly for the cause Of science
and the advancement Of
mans knowledge.
Undoubtedly there has
been a spirit Of competition
aroused ever since the Rus
sian Sputnik circled the
earth. The Soviet press and
radio played up the Gagarin
flight, and there was a big
celebration in Moscow, too,
as Premier KhruShchev made
speeches and bestowed the
accolade on the Russian as
tronaut.
While doubts still persist
as to what Maj. Gagarin
really did-perhaps he also
only went up and down at a
given place in the air-the
disposition Of officialdom
here is to credit him with
his claim. But at the same
time there is a natural pride
here that America did every
thing in the open and made
all facts available immedi-
ately to the public. Mean
while, the Soviet people have
been given skimpy accounts

Old pro Harry Lee, former
coach at Mount Vernon, takes
over as athletic director at
OSbourn of Manassas July /,
| just a little over a year after
he returned to the coaching
ranks for the first time in five
years.
Lee was named baseball
coach at the Manassas school
last year. At that time, he had
no plans other than to coach
baseball and get in some long
overdue hunting and fishing.
But when Joe Fortuna an
nounced his resignation as
athletic director several weeks
ago, Principal Bill Murphy ap-
preached Lee about the job.
Harry decided to accept be-
cause he sees in Osbourn the
potential to become one Of the
top schools athletically in the

4 Osbourn, a perennial power
in the Group II ranks, moved
; up to the Northern Virginia
Group la League in the fall
of 1859. Since then it has
taken its Jumps regularly.
1 In fact, there have been
suggestions that the school
return to the Group II League
because it was felt, in = some
quarters, that OSbourn couldn't
compete with the bigger
schools.
Lee has many ideas about
improving Osbourn's status in
the league, and his background
suggests he will accomplish
that objective.
In 16 years of coaching high
school baseball, Lees teams
have won 209 games and lost
only So. That record might
|, suffer this season, because Os-
bourn has a young team. But
given a few seasons, OSbourn
probably will be near the TOP
of the league in baseball and
other sports under the guild
ance of a man well qualified
for the job.
