Extra Point Missed

Hope grew that it might be 9
lucky day for Washington wher
Wendell Harris missed the extrs
point after the Colts thirc
touchdown, leaving the Red.
skins with a 2l-20 lead. How
ever, it proved to be anything
but that.
Old Man trouble bugged Coach
Bill McPeak's men throughout
the final period as Unitas
passes took Baltimore on three
scoring excursions that gave
them their sixth victory against
seven defeats for the season.
Fumbles, penalties and Don
Schinnick stalked the Redskins
at almost every turn. A tumble
by jackson near the end of the
third quarter, with Washington
nursing a 21-l4 lead, limited
of the trouble to come. Shin
nick recovered on the Redskins
80, and six plays later Unitas
threw to Dick Bielski for a
touchdown.
The key play was a 20-yard
pass to Berry. The Texan
caught IL passes for the day,
racking up l22 yards. But this
was to be expected. His best
day was against the Redskins
at Washington in 1857 when
he latched on to IL.
The Redskins hopes Of scor-
ing an upset after Harris
missed kick were short Lived
after Shinnick intercepted a
Snead pass and ran 7 yards TO
the Washington rs. This time
Unitas needed only three PLAYS,
excluding a penalty, to hit Orr
with a 23-yard payoff pass.
This time Coach Weeb Ewbank
took no chances on the extra
point, sending in Bielski. an old
hand. to kick 1t.

In the tension, exhilaration
and pride that all America
felt over Col. Glenn's feat
there seemed to be one false
note.
It was the questions put
to Mrs. Glenn and the Senior
Glenns about their religion
and prayers. A persons ren-
gion and prayers are of the
utmost privacy and intimacy
and should be respected as
such.
This family answered these
questions with dignity and
reserve, but it seems to me
that they should not have
been asked.

Start of a Trend?

Until recently, welfare officials
were resigned to steady increase in
the number of relief cases in the District
of Columbia. Now, for the second month
in row, this seemingly memorable trend
has been broken. The number of per-
sons on relief during January (continu-
ing slight decline registered in
December) dropped by a total of $50
the first months in many years that
recipients of all five categories of well
fare have taken downward turn. Why?
There can be little doubt about the
reason. AS Welfare Director Shea says,
the reversal must be attributed largely
to the more aggressive investigative eff
forts of the last few months to weed out
cheaters and other ineligibles. And Sen
ator Byrd of West Virginia, who was
responsible for launching these efforts,
in the face of resistance and criticism,
has been proved right.
Two months, of course, is too brief
a period to warrant any conclusion that
a continuing new trend has been
started But the recent statistics are en-
couraging in several respects. The fact
that the. aid-to-dependent-ch children
caSeload has tapered off, even if only
slightly, is particularly significant. For
it is in this program, which accounts for
some $4,000 of the 80, 900 relief recipients,
that positive gains must be made if
there is to be any meaningful reduction
in the welfare load From 1855, the ADO
rolls increased month by month without
letup until December, when a drop of
II cases was reported. A further de-
crease of SO cases occurred last month.
The surprising aspect of these
results, and in sense the most en-
couraging, is the fact that they have
been achieved with relatively small
increase in investigative manpower.
Indeed, in setting up the special in
vestigative team requested by Senator
Byrd, the Welfare Department has been
forced to curtail routine investigations
from which other instances of in
eligibility normally would be expected
to be found. The question of additional
manpower is one which should receive
sympathetic attention from Senator
Byrd when his subcommittee considers
welfare budget requests a few weeks
from now.

Space Is His Business

There is every reason to welcome
the announcement that Col. Glenn will
not be required to do double duty as
a sort of goodwill ambassador for for
eign tour purposes.
Space, not propaganda, is the astro-
naut's business If the Russians want
to parade their cosmonauts around the
world that is their affair. But we do
not think that Col. Glenns achieve
ment, or rather the achievement of the
team" of which he is member, should
be cheapened by converting it into a
propaganda gimmick. The rest of the
world will get the message, and it won't
be necessary to package 1t in Madison
Avenue style.

such is theoretically nonpartisan, labor'S

ton Of the West in the whole

have put their money on con-

This is why there Is great
need to cause the public to
see the problem in its whole.
There is now good reason to
suspect that the Russians
will shortly put on another
space spectacular, seemingly
dwarfing that of Col. Glenn.
If this happens and the
American people have not
been educated to the true ma
ture of the problems and
purposes of space experiment
tation, the hip-hip-hooray
for Col. Glenn may turn, in
stantly, into sour and extreme
public disappointment. We
shall all be down in the
mouth again-and our West
ern Allies as well-and we
shall all be assuming that the
Russians are not merely
"seven feet tall" but rather
millions of miles tall.
What is now required is

the space effort-Adminis-
traitor James Webb and Vice
President Lyndon Johnson,
the ultimately responsible
head under President Ken
nedy-to go right on running
the race" where it ought to
be run.
This is in the laboratories
and in the vast assisting COM
plexes of American private
industry. Mr.. johnson and
Mr.. Webb have steadfastly
kept to the right course in
the face of endless tempta-
ton to operate an enterprise
OF stunts. For them this is
still the right course; mean
time, they deserve a space

But one other thing might
usefully be done. Surely it
might be we'll for a very high

self or the Vice President

out in layman's language just
what the true and central

A. Night broadcasting has

neled" to prevent interfer-
ence. Radio signals travelling
upward disappear into space
in daytime, but at night they
hit the ionosphere and are
reflected back to earth. To
prevent collision of signals
from many stations, the Gov

"clear channels" On some
of these, only one station
