EXCLUSIVELY YOURS :
The President May
Need This Book

Washington drawing rooms
have been buzzing with one
topic only-the Stevenson af-
fair.
At every party. before q
guest can pick a martini off
a tray. he has picked UP q
new theory on the cause and
effect of the article that SO
pointedly put Americas chief
negotiator at the United Ma
tons in a bad light for
favoring the use Of our
peace-keeping machinery as
opposed to the so-called Dean
Acheson policy of immediate
bombing Of Cuban bases.
In the last two days q new
theory has begun to be
voiced in various quarters Of
the ever moving Capital
social circuit. This theory is
that the position of Adlai
Stevenson at the United Ma
tons may be stronger than
ever before as a result of
the tempest. For any future
move to shorten his ambas-
sadorial career could greatly
lessen the confidence Of
other nations in Americas
attitude toward and belief in
the United Nations.
In the meantime, local
party-goers have concluded
that what the President
needs, after the embarrass-
ment caused by the article,
is a bird-watchers' manual.
It's not that he needs 1t
to tell the hawks from the
doves or. to differentiate be-
tween those strange new in
comprehensive breeds the
dawks and the hoves - or
even to separate the hot
dawks from the cold coves.
What he needs it for, they
say. is to help him at every
National Security Council
meeting from now on to sep
arate the magpies from the
owls. And with it he may even
find q cuckoo or two.
FREDERIC MARCH and
his wife, Florence Eldridge,
were the honor guests at a
dinner given by the David
Schoenbruns the other night.
They were in town for the
filming Of a portrait Of the
Supreme Court that CHS has
made for showing in a month
or Two.
They gave it in their new
Washington abode on Wy
oming avenue of which they
can truthfully say, "A tree
grows in our living room"
A glass-walled shaft that ex-
tends from their living room
to their roof makes it posi-
BILE for the tree to get air and
rain right within three feet
or so of the sofa. Decorated
with tinsel, it's now a live
Christmas tree.

US. Stamp Honors
 GIenn's Space Flight

WASHINGTON R - Hidden away in 300 post offices across the country were mysterious sealed packages that carried orders, Do Not Open.' s
 The mystery was solved yes terday. The moment astronaut John H. Glenn Jr., was plucked from the Atlantic as the first American to orbit the earth, the Post Office Department in Wash ington flashed the word: "open package and sell stamps
 The packages contained special issue of four-cent stamps com memorating Glenn's flight - a simple blue rectangle with a space capsule, catching the rays of the sun, soaring over the earth. It carries the legend, "U.S. Man in Space" and in capital letters: Project Mercury.
 Demand was instant.
 But some people questioned the fact that the words 'SU.S. Postage were omitted from the stamp.
 Tn Woodland, Calif., stamp collector of 20 years experience called it the greatest philatelic blunder in Post Office history. But a Post Office Department spokesman said it was no blunder it was intentional. The idea was to emphasis the space flight and it was felt the words JUS. Post age" were not necessary.
 The project, cloaked in secrecy until Glenn's safe landing, was begun months ago.
 Department officials said tha' the stamp designer worked al home; the engraver came in late at night and worked on weekends the Bureau of Printing and En. graving cooperated by printing the stamps in a locked press room

House Kills Kennedy's Plan to Set Up New
 Urban Affairs Department

WASHINGTON R - The House today killed President Kennedy's plan to set up Department of Urban Affairs and name Negro to head it as the first cabinet member of his race. The vote was 264 to 150.
 The result was expected.
 Republicans in large numbers joined with a solid bloc of south, ern Democrats to disapprove it.
 Kennedy had announced he would name as head of the new department a Negro, Robert C.. Weaver, now chief of the Housing and Home Finance Agency.
 Republicans pitched most of their arguments on the points of lack of need for the new depart ment and an increase in bureau cracy.

John l.. Rader Files
 Candidacy for Governor

FAIRBANKS, tR = John l.. Rader, former Attorney General for Alaska today filed his official declaration of candidacy for gov- ernor while in Fairbanks.
 Rader, 35 years old, an attor- ney in Anchorage, is married and has three children.
 In announcing his filing today, Rader said:
 "Last November, I announced my intention to explore the pos- abilities of running for governor. Since that time I have attended the Democratic District Conven- tions in Fairbanks, Anchorage and Juneau; and travelled from Pt. Barrow and Nome to Ketchi- kan, and many points in between.
 s'The challenge of the serious problems of the State and the un- fortunate events of recent weeks have convinced me that I should formally file my declaration of candidacy.
 T intend to submit new ap- breaches with respect to land policies and the industrial develop ment of the State.
 sBut above all, I believe the thing that I would most stress is the necessity of close contact by the executive office with the people of Alaska by two paramont rneans-by regularly visiting the respective areas and keeping 3 close liaison so that mutual prob lems can be resolved and section alism mimirnized and number two by maintaining close relation ship with the legislature and tn, individual legislators who are tn elected representative of tn people of Alaska"

.JFK Says Powers Carried Out His
 Iernls of Contract

WASHINGTON R = President Kennedy said today there is no evidence U-2 pilot Francis Gary Powers failed to carry out the terms of his contract with the government.
 Kennedy told his news confer ence board of inquiry will com plete by the middle of next week it's investigation of the question.
 When that inquiry is completed, Kennedy said Powers will be available for questioning by mem bers of Congress and by newsmen.
 Kennedy also said he welcomes Soviet Premier Khrushchev's pro- posal for pooling space resources as most encoura ging" sign for international cooperation.
 In the wake of astronaut John Glenn's momentous orbital flight, Kennedy said the peaceful ex- ploration of space s'is particularly important now, before space be- comes devoted to uses of war"
 As for Khrushchev's proposal, he said he was replying to the Soviet leader But he noted that any cooperation of this sort must be conducted on two-way street.
 Kennedy dealt also with these other subjects:
 Urban Affairs Tn comment on the House vote against his proposal to create a new Depart. ment of Urban : Affairs, Kennedy said such department would bs established sooner or later.
 With some sarcasm, he observed that congressional critics who op- posed the Urban Department have indicated they would support Robert Weaver, the Negro he in- tended to appoint head of the de- partment, for any other cabinet position.

Plans Laid for Housing Welcome
 To John Glenn .Jr.

!
 CAPE CANAVERAL,, Fla. R
 America today laid plans for a
 rousing two-stage welcome to its greatest air hero since Lindbergh. l. President Kennedy will fly the family of John H. Glenn Jr., here for a grand reunion Friday. 2. Washington will stage it's monster reception and parade for Glenn at midday Monday. Glenn was in shape to take the big doings, just as he took his fantastic three-t time circuit of the globe yesterday in his space chariot.
 At Grand Turk Island in the Bahamas, where doctors, psy-
 chologists and an array of other
 scientists were giving him a going
 over, he was pronounced in just
 as good shape as before he left l the earth.
 Russia, great rival of the United
 States in races into space, showed
 increasing signs of being impress
 ed with Glenn's accomplishment. Congratulating America, Pre-
 mier Nikita Khrushchev suggested
 the United States and the Soviet
 Union pool their resources to ex- lplore out space
 I President Kennedy, in new
 gesture of acclaim, invited Glenn's family to ride to Florida tomorrow , with him by Presidential jet. T On Friday morning Glenn vii ? fly from Grand Turk to Cap, Canaveral and have big reunion ? with his family here.
 Monday morning Kennedy will
 take Glenn back with him to Washington, where the fetes will include capitol reception and a parade.
 Glenn was flown to a special hospital on Grand Turk late yes- terday after he had been recover ed by the US. Destroyer Noa g minutes after his capsule had splashed into the Atlantic Ocean 166 miles from the island.
 What the astronaut tells the doctors, scientists, technicians and engineers at Grand Turk and in weeks of briefings to follow will help shape the future course of this nations space program.
 Out of the meeting will come answers to such questions as:
 What are mans capabilities and Limitations in the weightless world of space?
 What changes must be made in the Mercury capsule before as- tronaut Donald Slayton attempts the next US. orbital flight, tentatively in April?
 Do weightlessness, isolation in cramped quarters, or other pres sures of space flight pose any physical or mental danger?
 Glenn conclusively proved on his flight that man is far superior to machine in space. When his capsule developed control diff ficulty during the first orbit, he assumed partial manual control and maintained command the rest of the mission. Project Mercury Operation Di- rector Walter Williams e1npha- sized that had human passenger not been aboard, the space craft would have been brought down after one orbit. "John did a beautiful jah." Williams said.

Sherard Claims
 Highway Division Should Control It's Own Equipment

Sherard told Senate investigators last night he believes that if the Highways Division could control it's own equipment, materials and supply it would result in savings to the State.
 It was Sherard's fifth night of testimony before the Senate's special Highways Investigating Committee.
 The questioning chores for the night were handled by Sen. John Coghill who probed at length in- to maintenance, personnel and programming procedures of the division.
 Sherard explained that the Highways Division must deal with two other divisions within the Department of Public Works to get the equipment it needs for maintenance and road construc- ton.
 sIn other words," said Coghill, Eff Thompson Pass weren't kept open in the winter it would be the fault of one of three divisions.
 If the snow blow broke down, 1t would be the fault of the Di- vision of Equipment.
 aIf there wasn't enough fuel for the snow blow, 1t would be the fault of the Division of Prop erty and Supply.
 And if the driver didn't show up, it would be the fault of the Division of Highways"
 That's about right, said Sher- ard, sbut I think you'd have real hard time convincing the public that it wasn't our fault"
 Sherard said that a lot of the equipment inherited from the Bu- reau of Public Roads when the State took over it's highways was antiquated and outdated.
 Some of the equipment was so old we couldn't even get replace ment parts," Sherard said.
 Sherard also told the committee that the State Personnel Act had resulted in confusion in the hiring 1 and handling of highway person mel.
 We knew the Personnel Act ! was important, but we didn't ex-l pect it to go into effect so soon, Sherard said, i've found our selves having to deal with all those rules and regulations before we were able to get organized.
 ssThere was confusion in classi- fication, confusion as to when employees should get a pay raise 1
 everyone in highways had a personnel problem.
 "Then we found that letters had | been written by the Division of 1 Personnel, without going through ! our division, to people already on the job telling them they weren't | qualified for that job.
 We had resignations over that" he said.
 Asked to trace the program ming of the divisions long range highway construction plans, Sher- ard said that he made up the pro- grams, and then sent them along 1 to Public Works Commissioner Downing for his approval.
 Actually 1t is a joint effort, ]" he explained. ''The Public Works Department Is the parent organi- zation. We're not separate de- pertinent of highways, so the final decision certainly rests with Public Works"
 The committee will take a night off tonight, and resume Thurs day.

GROUNDED SHIP DETERMINED FATE OF WASHINGTON

George Washington might have lived and died on the wrong side of the Atlantic if an English ship had not gone a. ground in the Potomac River ih the 1650's.
 Serving as mate on the ship, reports World Book Enclclope- dia, was John Washington, great-grandfather of George. By the time inc si4.g as 1epaired, he had decided to marry and settle in Virginia.
 Washington had little money when he arrived in America. But within 20 years he owned more than 5000 acres of land, including the land that later became Mount Vernon.
 The ancestral home of the Washingtons in England was Sulgrave Manor, in Northamp- tonshire. In 1914 the British government bought the house to celebrate 100 years of peace between Britain and the United States.
