This should bring the vote be-
fore Mr.. Kennedy holds his
press conference at 4 pm.
The forecast by members OF
both parties that the plan would
be killed in the House followed
a setback the administration
suffered in the Senate yester-
day.
The Senate voted So to AZ
against taking the issue away
from the Government Opera
tionS Committee in order tc
get quick floor action.
During the Senate debate,
administration spokesmen ed
mitted they expect defeat in the
House, and House Republican
Leader Halleck agreed the plan
will lose by a substantial" ma
jority.
Most Of the 174 Republicans
will be joined by between 80
and 80 Southern Democrats in
voting to disapprove the Presi-
dents reorganization order to
create the new department.
Although a bill to set up such
a department by regular act of
Congress is pending in both
Houses, defeat of the reorgani-
zation order is expected to side
track the subject for this year.
It was the refusal of the
House Rules Committee to let
the urban affairs bill go to the
House floor for a vote that
prompted President Kennedy
to try to bypass the Rules group

GRAND TURK ISLAND,
Feb. 21.-Doctors checking AS
tronaut John H. Glenn, jr., for
after-effects Of his orbital
flight have found him in as
good shape as before, a Space
Agency spokesman indicated
today.
Preliminary examinations
show mo signs of physiological
change-John is in excellent
condition" said 1t. Col. John
A. Powers.
Col. Glenn rose at $3.50 am.
(EST) after being kept busy in
physical checkup and balance
tests and other observations
until almost l am.
The Marine lieutenant
colonel arrived here at 9:10
pm. last night, saying he feels
"fine, wonderful. I couldn't
feel better"
Fresh and Rested Today
Today he "looks fresh, rested
and in good spirits" Col. Pow
ers said.
Col. Glenn breakfasted with
his personal physician, DR.. Will
liam Douglas, who stayed over
night in the silver-colored hos
pital building.
DR.. Ashton Graybiel, a Navy
physician from Pensacola, Fla.
put Col. Glenn through the bal
ance and Discrimination tests
which DR.. Graybiel had devised
These included walking bare
foot on rails and having warm
water squirted in his ears.
"He indicated Glenn's per-
formance was almost Identical
with that before flight" said
Col. Powers. DR.. Graybiel
feels his sense of balance has
not been affected"
Col. Glenn's program today
include a thorough examination
of vision, brain and nerve re-
actions-again for comparison
with his preflight status-and

The White House said Mr.
Khrushchev's message had not
yet been received, but officials
said the President is expected
to give a quick public welcome
to the Soviet leaders proposal.
Similar Proposals
Both President Kennedy and
former President Eisenhower
have made similar proposals for
international cooperation in
the past.
Mr.. Kennedy was expected to
point to the approaching March
10 meeting of the United Ma

in New York as a starting point
to get down to the business
of practical cooperation. The

Mr.. Khrushchev said such a
joint effort would be very
beneficial to the advance Of

After Orbits
Astronuut's Skill
And Luck Save
Mercury Mission
BY WILLIAM HINES

CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla,
Feb. 21-Astronaut John H.
Glenn, jr., rested safe and
happy today after the greatest,
adventure any American ever
had.
He was on the island of

east of here, for rest, a medical
checkup and talks with experts
on the things that went right
and wrong during his epochal)
flight yesterday.
The 40-year-old astronaut. a.
Marine Corps test pilot, was
blasted off from here at 9:47
am. (EST) and landed in the
ocean 166 miles east of Grand
Turk at 2:43 pm. after an

self an extremely skilled-and
extremely lucky-flyer. In al
mission where every thought
was to save the pilot, he ended
saving the mission. Only his
coolly expert hand on the con-
trolls of his tiny spacecraft
made it possible for Americas
first manned orbital attempt
to go the whole distance.
Blunt Appraisal
| Walter c. Williams, Mercury
Operations Director for the
National Aeronautics and Space
Administration, stated the i'm
portance of Col Glenn's role
bluntly:
Without a man aboard we
could not have gone three Or
bits"
4 Death - or the spectre Of
death - haunted Col. Glenn
right to the end of his 4 hour,
Sc minute flight. And men on
the ground, in coping with the
situation, proved themselves as
cool as the astronaut himself.
The final peril, and how it was
handled, happened this way:
AS the Friendship Z Mercury
capSule Streaked eastward
across the Pacific between
Hawaii and California, Col.
Glenn positioned his capsule
precisely in space for the re-
entry maneuver. At a signal
from Point Arguello, Calf,
three small rockets on the lead
ing edge were fired in 1873
order.
This had the effect, as
planned, of slowing the capsule
from orbital speed - 1880
miles an hour - to a velocity
about $50 miles an hour less.
This was necessary to give the
earth's gravity a chance to as
sert its superiority over the
centrifugal force impaired by
the capsules speed.
Alarming Signal
AS the spacecraft slowed
II felt for a moment like I was
going back to Hawaii" Col.
Glenn remarked-an alarming
signal showed up on the con-
troll panel. 1t was a light in
dicating that the capsules heat
shield was detached.
This shield is a great spheri-
cal segment of resin-i -impreg-
mated fibreglass, the size and
shape of the blunt forward end
of the Mercury spacecraft. It
is supposed to take the terrific
heat shock of the capsules re-
entry into the atmosphere. and

LONDON. Feb. 81 (AP). -
Dinners turned cold on the
continent and pints of ale went
flat in British pubs. In the Far
East. it was we'll past bedtime
and they fought off sleep.
Minute by minute, millions
aroud tn world in all time

joiced yesterday as 1t. Col.
John H. Glenn, jr., rode his
Friendship 7" space capsule
into a triple orbit of the earth.
From almost all of them, in
cluding some Russians, came an
A-OK. United States prestige
appeared to get a boost. West
erners saw in the flight a
definite closing in on the Soviet
Union in the race for space.
Most of Europe had sat down
at dinner tables as Col. Glenns
flight approached it's crucial
end. In restaurants, people
stopped eating to listen to radio
reports of the final dramatic
moments as Col. Glenn's cap
sule maneuvered for it's land
ing. In Japan, a group of
sleepy-eyed radio monitors
fiddled with their sets in an
attempt to pick up Col. Glenn's
signal but couldn't. They later
complained that the United
States National Aeronautics

fused to disclose the frequency.

Careful coaching enables the
players to perform better and
thus become less prone to in
jury. Most of the regular school
teams have proper coaching
today, and the coaches aremore
than ever before alert to meth
DDS of safeguarding their play
ers from injury.
Good officiating makes for
better games and also helps
tosprotect players. Officials in
the organized schoolboy and
college leagues must meet
careful standards. Proper e.
quipment and facilities also are
important to reduce injuries.
Schools sometimes fall down in
this respect by using worn and
decrepit equipment for practice
sessions and for the B-team
players. Pads that slip out of
place leave knees and shoulders
unprotected.
Good medical care, with a
physician in attendance for
practice drills and games, is
final major factor in cutting
down on serious injuries.
If your boy is playing with an
organized school team, the
chances are good that all of
these safeguards are observed.
If most of his playing is done
on a vacant lot in the after

comes the parents responsible :

Safeguards To Observe
For Orders Protection

Football time is here again.
All over the land American
males are tossing and kicking
and running with footballs, all
the way from the eight-year-
olds in the backyard to junior
and senior high and college
teams to the big bruisers of
the professional leagues.
Football is a rough contact
sport and inevitably will pro-
duce its full quota of bumps
and bruises, strains and sprains
cuts and gashes. Most of these
aren't serious and the lads con-
cerned are back in the game
shortly.
A thorough physical examin-
alton is highly important for
boys preparing to go out for
football. Take your boy to the
family doctor and ask him to
make certain that the lad has
no physical conditions that
should be noted before he be-
gins the rigorous training and
hard knocks of the game.
Proper physical condition
ing hardens the body and in
creases resistance to fatigue,
thus helping to prevent injury.
A minimum of three weeks of
conditioning are recommended
prior to the first game of the
season. Coaches and doctors
are alert to the fact that many
injuries occur when the player
is tiring and thus less alert.
The coaches are quick to make
substitutions when player be-
gins to slow down.
