Col. Glenn told her. He

Telling Congress about

Pointing out that it had
taken "just over three years"
from the passage of the 1858
Space Act. Ito the consumma-
ton of this orbital flight" the
Astronaut declared:
This in itself states elo-
quently the case for the hard
work and devotion of the entire

Col. Glenn stressed that his
epochal ride was only one of a
series of building blocks upon
which we shall build much mere

Earlier ones were the SUBJ

have to be sufficient develop
ments at the disarmament
ta1as opening on March IA in
Geneva to make summit talks
useful.
Mr.. Macmillan, in a note de-
livered in Moscow today, said
he is ready to join a summit
parley on disarmament if the
Geneva negotiations m a Ike
progress or if they run into a
deadlock.
At the same time there were
these related developments:
/. The United States and it's
Western Allies were reported
considering short-range dis
armament proposals they hope
Russia will accept quickly at
Geneva. Included is one BAN
ming transfer of nuclear weap-
ons to other nations.
2. British Labor Party chief
Hugh Gaitskell, who recently
conferred with Mr.. Kennedy in
Washington, told newsmen
upon his return to London to-
day that the President would
rather win a workable nuclear
test ban agreement than go
ahead with a new series OF
American atmospheric tests.
He said the United States
would not renew atmospheric
tests if the Soviets accept a
safeguarded agreement to stop
testing.

tiations when it seems that the
presence of heads of govern
ment can be of positive value"
He suggested two situations
that could make them fruitful.
THE first is if the conference
is making satisfactory and de-
finite progress the second
situation is one in which GER
tain major and clear points OF
disagreement have emerged
which threaten to hold up
further progress.
The suggestion that a sum-
nit meeting might be held in
the event of a deadlock is
sharply different from the
American view, which is that
such a meeting should be held
only if there is reasonable prog
ress at the lower level.

The talk, though made by a

a major position-paper for the
national space effort. Col
Glenn, first American in orbit,
was the administrations spokes-
man in behalf of an accelerated
space program.
There are benefits to science

such as this results in research

Rural Tract
For Shopping

day by the Prince Georges
County Planning Board.
Developer Meyer Shapiro re-
quested commercial coming for
the tract at Branch avenue and
woodward road, which would
enable construction of one of
the largest shopping centers in
the county.
Unanimous approval Of the
request was made over objec-
lions by the boards technical
staff, which urged denial on
grounds that commercial zon-
ing in an isolated area would
be spot coming" because the
nearest intensive development
is over a mile away.
The staff report added: ut
would be an impetus for similar
coming requests on the sur
rounding vacant lands and
would tend to overburden pub
lie facilities, including utilities,
highways and schools"
Chairman Herbert w. Wells
called the coming application
premature by 20 years" but
another board member, John

tude will take 10 years to
achieve full development"
The request must go before
