INTERPRETIVE REPORT

Glenn flight probably will not
be made public for several
months. In an effort to CON
centrate on the scientific as
poets of Mercury" as Col.
Glenn suggested, some news
men requested in-flight reports
of the pilots heartbeat, breath
ing rate and temperature. These
requests have been refused.
1t. Col. Stanley C. White,
Air Force medic who heads the
Mercury life-sciences team,
ruled out release of base line"
medical data on Col. Glenn,
taken a few hours before
launch, as well as in-flight in
formation. He said he feared
that irresponsible members of
the medical profession might
rush into print with curbStone
opinions that would not prove
valid under sober analysis.
Such scientific data as comes
from the Glenn flight-now
scheduled for a week from TO-
day-will be summarized by
DR.. White and his associates
before it is made public. A gen.
eral report on Col. Glenn's con-
dition will be made about once
each half hour during his A.
and-a-half- orbital flight,
the physician said.
Sees Concern for Family
DR.. Sheldon expressed belief
that Col. Glenn's remarks
about news emphasis were mo-
tivated by concern over the
glare of publicity which has
bathed his family recently.
II think he is a little bit I'M
happy that events have taken
the turn they have" DR.. Shell
don said. II mean things like
television cameras all over his
front lawn.
In his comments to both the
President and the press, Col.
Glenn had alluded to the in
tensity of human-interest COW
erage-"like whether Annie

news conference last Saturday.
The second was in a CONVERSE
ton with President Kennedy
at the White House yesterday.
1--WE don't know how to get
them to concentrate on the
scientific aspects of Mercury"
Col. Glenn told the President.
1.-THE news people on occa-
sion have missed the purpose
Of our program" he said ear
lier at his home. 1--WE are out
for a hard, cold. scientific pro-
gram"
Engineering Check Out
Actually, Mercury is not
much of a scientific" program
as space projects go. It is pri-
marily an engineering check
out of a system involving man
and machine in the space en-
vironment. Probably more basic
science was done by Americas
first satellite, the tiny Explorer
I, than will be done by Col.
Glenn in his 41a-hour orbital
ride.
Mercury is largely designed
to give us engineering expert
ence, with some biological in
formation coming out of it,
too," said DR.. Charles S. Shell
don II in answer to a question
yesterday. DR.. Sheldon is a
scientific adviser to the Ma
tional Aeronautics and Space
Council, the presidential-level
organization supervising the
whole American space effort.
Survival Issue Known
AS far as determining any
profound scientific truths is
concerned, Mercury is not like
ly to contribute much, DR..
Sheldon indicated. 1.-THE ques-
ton of whether a man can sur
vive in space-if that was ever
in doubt-has largely been an
swered," the scientist said. The
Yuri Gagarin orbit flight an
Swered that question 10 months
ago, DR.. Sheldon explained.
Some scientists have COM
planned that Project Mercury
is dominated by engineers who
are not particularly interested
in scientific results. They say
the medical data to be taken
in the course of the flight of
Col. Glenn is to scanty and is
related primarily to the astro-
naut's functions as part of the
man-machine system.

SAIGON, Wet Nam, Feb. 6
(AP).-United States military
authorities in Saigon today
banned Western correspondents
from accompanying future
United States helicopter COM
bat missions against Commu-
mist guerrilla forces in South

United States Army and Air

It's cause, they said, was an
Associated Press eyewitness re-
port on a United States hell
copter mission which flew Wet
Namese troops into action Sun
day.
Several high-ranking United
States military men here said
they considered the report &C
curate and responsible. "This
is the kind of reporting we
need from here" one said. They
declined use of their names.
The eyewitness account was
by Roy Essoyan. a longtime
Associated Press correspondent.
It gave a graphic account of
. the operation. It said the hell
copter lift went off with clock
work precision. An American
military adviser on the mission
said the operation failed be-
cause of faulty communications
and shortage of United States
helicopters and Wet Namese
troops. One United States hell
copter was shot down.
Technically NOnc0mbatant
It was believed authorities
in Pearl Harbor or Washington
felt the report pinpointed the
United States military role in
Wet Mans civil war. So far
this role is technically non
combatant, with United States
advisers and support forces
prohibited from firing on the
Communists unless they are
fired at first.

Proposed Pact
Is Drafted by
Steel Union

PITTSBURGH, Feb. 6 (AP)
The Executive Board of the
United Steelworkers union re-
ceived today the draft of a
proposed new contract with
the basic steel industry.
David ]. Mcdonald, USW
president, placed the model
contract before the board for
finishing touches before 1t is
presented to the unions TO-
man Wage Policy Committee
tomorrow for final approval.
The set Of demands was drawn
by Mr.. Mcdonald and the USW
staff. He declined to reveal any
details.
It was the second day of con-
ference by the 34-man Execu-
tive Board, which operates in
secrecy.
Hopes for Accord
In brief talks with newsmen
between sessions yesterday, Mr..
Mcdonald refused to say
whether he is optimistic that a
contract will be signed with the
industry without a strike. He
said:
II always want a peaceful
settlement. We are not a strike

Roger Blough, board chair
man of United States Steel
Corp, and Labor Secretary Ar

Leslie looked down at the porch floor.
'I'll show you the horse if you want.
Dads got him in the corral
Leslie stood up quickly, walked down
the steps off the porch. Bill followed,
putting on his hat as he stepped out
into the sunshine He chatted about
the weather, and how dusty it was and
noticed the heat waves skimmering
over the hills. Leslie got over her shy
ness as she listened to his low voice.
The little boys trailed or galloped along
behind, ahead, around them.
'That's him." Leslie said as they
reached the corral Bill opened the
pole gate and stepped quickly and
quietly in. The horse raised his head,
pricked his ears forward, but stood
very still.
''Whoa, boy" Bill said and held a
hand to the trim young bay. The horse
did not move. Bill moved up to him
slowly and touched his nose. The horses
nostrils quivered, but he stood.

the fence and she slipped through and
stood near the man and horse. ''Hes

played cowboys under the chokecherry
tree and out into the dusty farmyard'
Pushing herself with one foot, she read
"Anne of Green Cables an old book
of mothers.
In the story Anne was 13, as was
Leslie, and Anne didn't like boys-ln
fact she hated boys because they called
her ''Red." Leslie liked boys because
she thought they were more fun than
girls; they did more interesting things.
Often she wished she were one instead
of girl. Then she'd be off doing some
thing exciting instead of staying at
home to take care of the children while
her mother and dad went to town.
In the shade it was still the cool OF
spring in the morning; by afternoon the
sun would be high, the air warmer.
''Hey, Leslie, there's a cowboy COM
ing" Shouting excitedly, Donnie rode
up on his stick horse. Jimmy followed
screaming, Cowboy"
A RIDER WAS coming up the dusty
road He was still so far away that
they couldn't tell much about him ex-
cept that his horse came at trot.
There weren't many men who rode
horseback anymore and Leslie won
dered who he was.
"Hey, he's a real cowboy" Donnie
shouted.
Maybe he isn't coming here" Les
lie said. "You kids stay in the front
yard and play" She tried to go on
with her reading but she kept looking
up at the approaching rider. AS he
came closer Leslie could see his horse
was bay. He wore black cowboy
hat and rode easily in the saddle, not
bouncing up and down as dad did when
he rode out for the cows in the evening.
The rider stopped his horse, dismount-
ed and undid the gate, led his horse
through and closed the gate. Then walk
ing kind of tipped forward on high
heeled boots and leading his horse, he
came toward the house. The little boys,
big eyed and curious, but shy, and
maybe a little scared, too, edged in
toward the porch.
LESLIE LAID ASIDE her book and
moved to the top of the steps as the
rider walked toward them. He stopped,
removed his wide-brimmed hat and
smiled, showing very white teeth in
his sun-tanned face. He was dressed
in jeans and a blue shirt; he didn't
seem very DID, His hair was black and
tight to his head, showing the mark
of his hatband.
I'm Bill Redman. I've known your

me he had horse for SALE"
He tied his horse to a pole of the
porch. The little boys came closer and
ooked up at him. '.Are you a real cow

Sure. I'm cowboy" Bill answered

Fairfax Bond Issue

Residents of Fairfax County's SAM
tary District No. /, denSely-populated
17-square- area bordering Alexan-
dria, Arlington and Falls Church, will
vote tomorrow on a bond issue to fl
nance urgently-needed and long-neg-
lected storm drainage Improvements.
While some opposition has developed,
proponents of the issue fear that its
greatest threat may be apathy on the
part of those voters whose homes are
on high ground and who, therefore,
would not be affected by the improve
mentS as directly as their neighbors in
low-lying areas who suffer constant
flooding. Most of those homes, unfor-
tunately, were built before minimum
county standards for streets and drain
age were adopted. Their owners will be
able to obtain relief only If sufficient
number of voters in the district regard
their plight in its true light as COM
munity problem which should be solved.

No Rush Act

Senator Morse says he sees no rea-
son for the rush act" this late in the
session to obtain Senate approval of the
House e-paSSed bill authorizing the Dis
trict to conduct urban renewal projects
in non-residential areas. Whatever other
reasons there may be for the failure OF
the Senate District Committee to ap-
prove the bill, this certainly is not
a valid charge to level against its
proponents.
The Commissioners, and numerous
other Washington groups, have been
urging Congress all year to grant the au-
thority, which is essential in order for
the program of revitalizing the down
town business district to proceed. For
months, however, this request was tied
up In the House along with other, con-
troverSial, proposals for changes in the
urban renewal program. 1t was Sepa-
rated into a single bill, and passed by
the House, only a week ago, without
a voice raised in protest. Nor should
there be, for it's purpose is merely to
grant Washington power which other
large cities of the Nation already have
to improve their blighted business areas.
While no further regular sessions
of the Senate District Committee are
scheduled this year, we hope that Chair
man Bible will make one final attempt
to reconsider this important bill before
adjournment.

Aftermath

In the face of open insurrection
the President had no alternative but
to use the troops. They can accomplish,
in Mississippi or anywhere else, any
thing they are ordered to undertake.
They can disperse mobs. They can re-
store order. They can protect United
States marShals in carrying out their
many assignments in enforcing the de-
crees of the courts. But there is one
thing they cannot do. They cannot
erase the new bitterness, the fresh
hatreds, the incitement to vicious and
stealthy reprisal enkindled by their use.
The aftermath of the tragedy in Oxford
will require mature craftsmanship and
wise leadership If it is to be contained.
Such qualities are more rare and harder
to come by than use of available force

A Warning for Khrushchev

Defense Secretary Mcnamara has
Just made an unqualified statement OF
grim fact that ought to be taken most
seriously by the Kremlin. Declaring
once again that our country faces a
Soviet manufactured international crisis
more serious than at any time since
the Korean war, he has Somberly issued
this solemn warning: 1T is our policy
to utilize whatever weapons are needed
to- preserve our vital interests. Quite
clearly, we consider access to Berlin
vital interest"
In other words, Nikita Khrushchev,
at a moment when he seems to be
increasingly intent upon heating up
the Berlin situation to the point OF
explosion, has been put on notice That
is to say, he has been bluntly told that
American forces in West Germany
forces whose combat readiness and state
of alert are formidable to highly i'm
presSive degree-will use nuclear weap-
onS if need be- They will do so to
maintain our Nations war-won rights
in the divided city and to defend the
free sectors from Communist aggreS-
sion and engulfment.
From time to time in the past,
Premier KhruShchev and his Cocoon
spirators have been represented as
suSpecting that the United States lacks
the will, resolution and intestinal forth
tude to fight for Berlin. Mr.. McNamara's
latest statement is designed to disabuSe
them of that enormously dangerous
idea. Certainly, If they continue to ad-
here to it, If they sign a separate peace
treaty with East Germany and If they
instruct the latter to employ force
against our rights, they will be guilty
Of a monStrous miscalculation that
could lead to war of incalculably tragic
consequences.
Moscow papers, please copy. Wholly
apart from Southeast Asia and Cuba,
Mr.. Khruschev's craftsmanship in Ger
many has reached stage Of utmost
recklesSneSs. He surely ought to be told
by some of his own people, including
the editors of Pravda and Izvestia, that
he Is playing with fire of the most
deadly kind and that he had better not
pooh-pooh the meaning of Mr.. Nc
Namara'S words.

"loyally and fruitfully" with France In
accord with the treaty that ended the

This statement lends strong sup
port to the hope that the Algerians in
the months and years ahead will work
closely with the French along the lines
proposed by President de Gaulle. Ger
tainly such cooperation will be essen
tial to their progress and prosperity,
economically, socially and otherwise. If
it is forthcoming, 1t will serve the best
interests of all parties concerned, and
it will promote stability throughout

Good Note in Algeria

In his address marking his election
as president of Algeria's national as
sembly, Ferhat Abbas-former premier
in-exile has struck a StateSmanlike
note of conciliatory moderation that
augurs we'll for his country'S future
relations with France.
Mr.. Abbas is a close associate Of
Ahmed Ben Bella, who has taken over
the premiership and who is currently
the top political personality in Algeria.
Although long leading figure in the
revolutionary movement for independ-
ence from France, Mr.. Abbas has had
closer ties with the French than have
many of his fellow-rebelS, including Mr..
Ben Bella Educated in French schools,
he served in the French army during the
Second World War, and he has respect
and admiration for the French people
and their free institutions
So it is not really surprising that
this man, speaking also as Algeria's
provisional chief of state, has called
upon his countrymen to cooperate with
their former rulers. AS he has put it,
mo people can stand alone. The world
is becoming united, anc good neighborly
relations are an important factor in the
internal equilibrium of every country.
With the achievement of independ-
ence, there is no longer any reason for
us to remain opposed to the French
people" On the contrary, Algeria, al
though it plans to be Socialist republic
holding a neutral position between East
and west, must and will collsborate
