Man has always had dream Maybe he dreamed of finding 2 way to grow crops so he wouldn'i be dependent on his hunting fnr food; or he dreamed of finding g sea route to the Indies, just as now the possibility of putting a man on the moon intrigues us.
 Many men have had the courage to follow their dreams, even to failure. And sometimes it happens man finds a measure of success even in his failure.
 The grandaddy of the ACS,- the Alaska Communications System, was such a dream and such failure.
 Half century before the birth of WAMCATS, the Washington- Alaska Military Cable and Tele- graph System, men in America dreamed of communication line n ort h ward, through Canada, through Russian America (Alaska). across the Bering Sea, Siberia and on through Europe even to China. They had visions of great system tying together the Old World and the New.
 Was a Failure
 The first transatlantic cable, completed in 1853, had been a failure. Little more than the 9O- word message sent from Queen Victoria to President Buchanan was transmitted over it. Failures of the Great Eastern to lay a new cable in 1865 further discouraged the United States.
 The Western Union Telegraph Co. completed a telegraph line from San Francisco to Portland, Ore, in 1884 With this first suc- cess behind them, Western Union dreamed its dream. It would build UcIcErdpfk Vlk ! : T SS $ world, $50 miles across British Columbia, 1,500 miles across the unexplored wilderness of Alaska

MODERN BUCK ROGERS MAKES DEBUT IN BOSTON

BOSTON R = The reason hun- dreds of people gawked upward and traffic stopped on a Charles River bridge was there was a man floating in the air.
 He was dressed in a sort of science-fiction uniform and corset with a Wfhopping pack on II his back back which let out an ear-splitting roar from rocket steam jets.
 It was demonstra ton by Harold M Graham, 27, a test pilot for Bell Aerosystens, of what is called a small rocket lift device developed by Bell for the Army,
 After rising some 20 feet, he scared 1azily over a parked auto- mobile in the paved parking space of the Museum of Science Bldg, and then made landing in which he bounced about foot high.
 He wore heavy boots, an orange brain-buclxet helmet, coveralls and knee and elbow guards. And to protect his eardrums from the rocket racket he wore ear plugs. In his belt and pack were 30 pounds of hydrogen peroxide solu- tion which was turned into steam at 1,300-degree temperature
 Graham said the Boston flight was the first over a paved surface. lie would rather land on soft turf. In one of his previous flights he said he travelled from ship to shore while President Kennedy watched.

Massachusetts Demos Endorse Ted Kennedy

SPRINGFIELD, Mass. R = Edward M. Tedl Kennedy, 30,
 brother of the President and of the Attorney General, today holds the endorsement of the Massachu- setts State Democratic Convention for nomination for the US. Senate. Kennedy piled up big margin over Edward J. Mccormack, 38, nephew of National House Speaker John Mccormack, hfe and Me- Cormack conceded when the score reached 691 to 36o in favor of Kennedy.
 The convention endorsement in Massachusetts is not equivalent to nomination. The actual nominating will be done in the party primary in September.
 Mccormack came to the micro phones, listened gratefully to the cheers Of his supporters, and said:
 T want to thank all of those who had the courage to stand up and be counted in my behalf :. I will now take my case to the people,
 This means that even though Mccormack lost here he will fight Kennedy again in the September primaries, right he has under Massachusetts law.
 Scarcely had Mccormack left the platform than here came Ken- nedy, accompanied by his blonde wife, Joan, to get an even more rousing reception.
 Kennedy said he was sure the people of Massachusetts will speak just as the convention delegates ldid,
 As of tonight, ' Kennedy said sswe're starting the campaign They win hard, and they lose hard ! l1zss here in Massachusetts. l Even though Friday nights vic l tory didn't prove much it give

MARILYN MONROE FIRED FROM MOVIE SOMETHING'S GOT TO CHE

HOLLYWOOD tH Marilyu Monroe was out of work Saturday fired by the same studio that made her a star.
 The sacking, which caught a1- most no one by surprise, came Fri day only hours after Marilyn mo- tified 20th Century Fox that she was ready and eager to return to work"
 But the studio wasn't impressed and called in Lee Rernick to take over.
 In another development, the stu- dio announced it had begun legal action against Marilyn to recover $500,000 allegedly lost as a result of the stars absentee record in- cluded five performance days in seven weeks of shooting for the movie Something's Got to Give.a The picture now is 32 days behind schedule and more than g mill lion in debt because of Marilyn's no-Show

Dream and Dreamers, Even Failure.
 Aided In Development of Alaska

4U miles under the Berir1g Sea and 2,450 miles across Siberis where the line would go on ts Moscow and the world. Col. Charles Bulk1ey of the US Army Engineers was chosen te lead the adventure. During ths Civil War he had been in charge o1 the military telegraph in the south. west and had strung wires through hostile Indian country.
 Explore Regions
 The expedition would have to do more than build telegraph line. It would have to explore the very regions 1t was to build across
 vast unmarked white blanks on the map.
 Russia agreed to build 1000 miles of line across Siberia and Russia. Canadian and American govern ments voted $500, 900 for their share of the project. President Lincoln instructed the US. Navy to lend sloops and cutters for exploration of the inland passage.
 Slowly the party pushed on. A 150-foot right-of-way was hewn out of the forests of British Columbia by the Western Union crews. Poles were erected, lines strung and routes surveyed. Herds of cattle were driven along the line and slaughtered at camps and tele- graph stations for fresh meat. Huge, awkward two-wheeled carts carried supplies. The line moved steadily on.
 A transatlantic cable was suc- cessfully laid in 1866. Work stop- ped on the Russo tele- graph project. Indians used the abandoned wire to make suspension bridges and fishing nets Glass in sulators became drinking cups.
 But the dream, unsuccessful d, E 1t appeared, did have value t, Alaska. Telegraph Trail"
 The trail pointed the way over land Air ii <ss ;s;.; iSsa to ssa a right-of-way carved through Britis Columbia has been known fo nearly 100 years as the ssTeleErap Trail" Near the British Colslmhia Yukon line it becomes part ( the Alaska Highway.

EEW people think of bean bags as an art
form. This is probably so because bean
bags are not an art form. But Margo L. Denton
aomes as close to making them artistic as any
one can And they sell.
The attractive young designermanufac-
turer never dreamed that bean-baggery would
be her calling when she walked the boards as
Miss Washington of 1856 and first-runner-up
Miss America in 1857 under her maiden name
Marg0 Lucey.
In the first place, who would dare manu-
facture bean bag to qualify as Miss America?
MargO emoted, instead In those days she was
speech-drama major at the University of Mary
land. She saw the stage cleaning in her future.
Then came marriage and two children, so
the theater was out and running household
was in
Don't ask me what made me think of bean
bags" she says. 81 started out making bean
bags and sachets as family gifts, and everyone
thought they were so cute that / should try to
sell some"
Margo fashioned a few samples last jan
uary, took them to Washington department
stores, and stood aside while the buyers
grabbed. Honestly, no soft-sell or anything
They liked them" she vows. Since that first
sampling went out, Margo has made and sold
close to a thousand sachets and bean bags.
Margo doesn't do the whole job alone. She
designs, stitches and stuffs in the dining room
of her Springfield (Va) home in the company
of her mother and children, Damara, 3, and
Damon, not quite 2. Her mother mostly takes
care of the bookkeeping, while her children
toddle around finding stray beans and storing
them in nostril and ear.
Her husband, It. Comdr. David N. Denton,
is spared this aspect of the industrial revolu-
tion by being at work in the Navy Bureau Of
Personnel.

of regular eight-hour day" Margo explains,
