Secretary Udull Due
Here March 18th for
Vicorp Boord Meeting

Secretary Of the Interior
Stewart Udall will fly to the
Virgin Islands next Thursday
for a meeting Of the Board Of
Directors of the Virgin Islands
Corporation. There is also a
possibility that he may also
discuss the establishment of an
International park in the Ca
ribbean area.
Mr.. Udall plans to leave
Washington on Thursday morn
ing and return on March l9.
He was in Denver, Colorado
today on a speaking tour. He
told a news conference recent
" that Lawrence Rockefeller
had discussed the possibility Of
some type Of international park
in this area jointly administer
ed by the British and United
States Governments. Mr.. Rock
efeIIer and the Rockefeller
Foundation acquired the
group of islands but indicat-
ed he did not want to see them
because they are real
y superb recreational areas
particularly in the winter
months.
Establishment Of an interna-
tional park would set a precez
dent and pattern for interna-
tional cooperation that would
be very good, Mr.. Udall said.

Second Time Around
At noon yesterday came the blare of the
announcement of the second launching of
Pavel Popovich, followed by the picture of
his handsome, clean-lined face; followed an
hour later by the picture of his mother also
stopped and shawled, in a shapeless blue
dress with white polka dots in her village
street, which might be any dirtroad village
in Russia; followed by his moustachioed
father showing boyhood pictures of the lad.
Where or what comes next, no one reports
on radio or televis6n: Whether the two satel-
lites will rendezvous in orbit whether they
will remain aloft for a few more hours
or few more days is known only to Mr..
Khrushchev and the scriptwriters of Russias

But the people Of Russia are used to this.

Yesterday in Moscow was a day Of broken
overcast. the gray rain clouds dappled with
patches of blue sky. The rain Of Saturday
night lay puddled in the broken pavings of
the capital. The cracks in the apartment
building, the junk heaps by the river side,
the oil slick and debris floating in Moscow
rivers. the crowding everywhere-all these
are reality.
Space Provides q Dream
1t is very difficult to dream in this capital
of finding or hoping to find a new apartment,
a new automobile, any of the comforts which
in the West are considered essential human
need.
But any Russian can lift his eyes to the
sky, thrill with his new heroes, stir to the
blare of music, and dream that he or his
son may some day build the glory Of the
Soviet Union in outer space, whatever dreams
are denied him by ground-bound life
No one can deny the majesty Of this Rus
sian space achievement, the competence of
its technicians, or the Joy of its ordinary

The launching Of the third
Soviet spaceman, Mai. Andrian
@. Nikolayev, took Russian
newSmen in Washington by
surprise, two of them said
today.
The flight of the fourth, 1t.
Col. Pavel r. Popovich, was
more or less anticipated, they
acknowledged, in the light of
the accomplishment of Maj.
Nikoleyev.
Two correspondents for TasS
and Pravda said they had not
been alerted for the launchings
as some reports indicated. Both
said that as soon as they heard
Of Mai. Nikolayev's feat, they
rushed to the street" to get
the common mans reaction.
Warm Reaction
Both also agreed that this
reaction was friendly, warm
and good hearted" and in their
words, hoped the launchingS
would preSage improve Soviet
American relations.
Mikhail r. Sagatelyan, cor
respondent for TaSs News

about 4::30 or $50 am. Satur-
day by a telephone call from
his colleague, Sergei Vishnev-
ski Of Pravda.
Congratulations! I have
just received a radio report
that Vostok III has been
launched" Mr.. Sagatelyan
quoted Mr.. VishnevSki as
saying.
Mr.. Sagatelyan said he So
licited comment from ordinary
Americans, including some at
the bus station in the early
Saturday morning hours, then
scanned early Saturday edi-
tons picking up a headline or
two, and sent q story of about

Even those on weight-reduction
regimens need food from all these
groups.
Although some day science may
come up with a diet that can pre-
vent heart disease. such a develop
ment appears to be we'll into the
future.
1t probably would take a genera
tion to prove whether any diet can
reduce deaths due TO heart or
blood vessel disease.
To test such a theory adequate
ly requires a large-scale, | o n g
term study, Surgeon G IN r
Luther l.. Terry said recently.
Since scientists do not know
whether such a mass study of diet
modification could be carried out,
he said, the essential first step is
to find out The surgeon general
announced that five medical CEN
ters would begin joint effort this
year to seek the answer. This pre-
liminary study alone is expected
to take two years.
In the meantime, advancing
knowledge may reveal other fac
tors of possibly more Importance
than cholesterol in heart disease.
For example, the effect of various
kinds and amounts of carbohy-
drates, such as sugars and starch
es, is being investigated, and there
e hn q
factor in this disease process.
At the same time, researchers
are seeking other ways to lower
cholesterol. Some experts believe
drugs will eventually prove to be
the preferred method.
1t should also be remembered
that an elevated blood cholesterol
level is only one of the factors
implicated in heart disease. Other
important factors are h r e d i t y,
high blood pressure, stress, a n d
smoking.
The anti-fat, anti-cholesterol fad
is not just foolish and futile, how
ever. 1t also carries some risk.
When certain foods are dropped
from the diet, they must be re-
placed by foods containing the
same nutrients, or the lost nu-
trients must be made up with ad-
ditioaal foodS, to achieve adequate
nourishmeI4. This requires, among
other things, a precise knowledge
of the nutritional content of Spe-
cific quantities of a whole range
of food products. And this lis where
the danger arises. Without this
knowledge, the average person is
unable to replace the nutrients he
loses when he decids to stop eat
ing certain foods and thus runs
the risk or shorting his body of
some essential nutrients.
The current concern about diet
reflects a healthy interest on the
part of the public This interest
should be directed away from
hopeless pursuits to a worthwhile
goal that can be attained by most
individuals - maintaining normal
weight Overweight plays the vii
lain in many diseases, and over
weight can be, avoided by not eat
ing more calories than the body
needs.
