The reason there aren't
any women astronauts is
that women pilots generally
haven't had the flying ex-
perience that men have.
That's the official explana-
ton of the National Aero
nautics and Space Admins
tration, as offered yesterday
by its chief. James E. Webb.
The NASA head seemed
all ready for. the question
when it was tossed to him in
a question period after his
luncheon speech to the
Woman's National Demo-
cratic Club.
Introduced by Mrs. Hart
He did complain mildly
that Mrs. Phillip Hart, wife
of the Michigan Senator and
herself a pilot who has been
pushing for women in the
space rogram, had
volunteered not to bring up
the subject when she intro
duced him.
Mrs. Hart (who is one of
IL women who have passed
the same preliminary physi-
cal tests passed by the men
aStronauts) kept her word.
But the question was asked
from the audience.
"At this early time in
space we have confined the
program to men who have
had a long experience in
high performance jet air
craft, and who also have
done a lot of test pilot work."
Mr.. Webb declared.
Recalling that AStronaut
John Glenn had suggested
that a lot of the instruments
in his flight capsule might
not have been needed, Mr..
Webb argued:
This was one flight, and
Glenn is a very wonderfully
oriented physical specimen
of the human race"
Instruments for Emergency
If a capsule should begin
tumbling, and the astronaut
inside should become i'll, the
automatic inStrum is
might be awfully good to
have" he declared.
Certainly these operations
are so far beyond things that
have been known, Mr.. Webb
said, that 1--WE feel that men
trained over many years in
acute observation of the pre-
else method of performance
of complex mechanisms like
high performance jet air
craft are certainly best quail
flied to assure success of the
mission. =
If women can qualify in
these areaS-"or if others
who have ben advocated for
inclusion, such as Negroes"
he continued, there GER
tainly will be no tendency on
the part of NASA not to in
clude them.
If anything did go wrong

he said. that we didn't want

DEAR ABBY: I recently
had a baby. We sent no an
nouncements, but I received
a S. bill in the mail from a
dear little old lady who had
been a friend of my mothers
for many years. With it was
a note congratulating me and
asking me to buy the baby a
gift from her. She is a wild
ow, in poor health and needs
the money so badly herself.
1t tugged at my heart to re-
ceive a SIS bill from someone
like her. Should I send it
back with a note explaining
how l feel? I wouldn't hurt
her feelings for the world.

Marilyn Mason is chairman
of the organ department at the
University of Michigan, and a
superb though self-effacing
performer on the king of instru-
ments. Her recital on the small
but beautifully articulate con-
cert organ at Columbia Union
College was a model of clean,
clear. musicianly playing.
Two weeks specially COM
missioned by and dedicated to
her were on the program. The
miniature by Langlais was the
first and the best of them;
Paul Creston's meandering little
collection Of three pieces, arbi-
trarily called a suite, was the
second and lesser. An artist of
her abilities deserves better
material than the Creston, es-
pecially when she paid for it.
Caveat emptor.
Major works on the program
were the Handel concerto, the
Bach prelude and fugue, and
the Roger-Ducasse pastorale.
The last Is a set Of variations
on a theme, which works de-
ceptively through progressive
stages of difficulty in execution
and registrational demands. It
is amazingly modern for its
more than SO years of age, a
splendid. subtle concert piece.
The two preludes by Searle
Wright, one on Greensleeves,
the other on Brother James
Air. were lightweight stuff.
They were pretty enough, with
a pronounced inprovisatory air,
but If they belonged on the
program at all, they belonged
where they were, preceding the
little nothings by Creston.
There were encores, and If
the audience had had its way,
there would have been more.
Three numbers from the Haydn
Musical Clock" began the ex-
ira dividends. A chorale prel-
ude by Bach, and his great
Toccata in D Minor concluded
the evening. For one wild mo-
ment 1t appeared that the
Toccata would be followed by
its fugue, but it was not to be.
It is likely that many in the
audience would have traded off
the rest of the encores gladly
to hear that other shoe drop.

hands down with the audience.
The afternoons more intense
music making came first, with
Bach interpretations which
were both imaginative and COM
manding. Miss Ahlgrimm's very
subjective approach to the pre-
ludes and fugues were not al
ways convincing to me and
they were occasionally marred
by some interrupted phrases
and a few inaccuracies. But
this same free and personal
style made the Chromatic Fan

is. Richly elaborate cadenzas.
thoroughly in keeping with 18th
century practice, added a world
Of rhythmic and contrapunal
life to Bach's vastly exciting
harmonic underpinning.
The balance of the program
was no less interesting with a
deftly executed Haydn Sonata
and a strikingly good exercise
by Mozart in the style of the
Baroque French Overture. It
is far to good a piece to be
heard so seldom.
I found Miss Ahlgrimm's con-
Germ for registration interfered
a little with the music itself
in the Mozart "Ah uous dirai-
je" variations. It's really q
pretty cute piece all by itself.
Nonetheless Miss Algrimm's
is clearly a commanding musi-
cal intellect and one Of the
more impressive Bach keyboard
specialists going today. Such
a Chromatic Fantasy is a rare
treat.
Miss Ahlgrimm Is currently
teaching at the Oberlin Con-
Servatory in Ohio.

two years. She is Al, good
looking and lots of fun. She
upped and left town last De-
cemper and didn't come back
until February. She said she
went 10 Detroit to visit her
sister. I found out she real
ly went to Miami and mar
ried a 77-year-old man. She
finally admitted it, but said
she only married him for his
money, which she wouldn't
have to wait very long for be-
cause he was in poor health.
She said she had no intentions
of living with him. She wants
to continue our relationship
and run down to Florida now
and then to look in on her
husband. And, as soon as he
dies, she'll marry me. I am
so shocked, 1 don't know what
to do. This woman is a big

STOP KILLING
YOURSELF
By PETER J. STEINcRoHN

II laughed so much I
thought I'd bust" or II
laughed so hard it hurt" are
common remarks. I have dou-
bled over to prevent my sides
from splitting watching w. C.
Fields go through his pool
shooting routine. Another was
in a show in which Harpo
Marx, supposedly honest,
keeps disgorging stolen sill
verWare from his person.
DOES LAUGHTER ever
cause any complications? I
have been reading today of
an unusual case report by
the French physician P.
Chalnot and his associates.
A young woman developed a
large diaphragmatic hernia
as a result of which most of
her stomach slipped up into
her chest. They operated, re-
turned the stomach into the
abodmen, and her symptoms
of breathlessness, palpitation
and indigestion disappeared.
But the doctors were not
satisfied. They asked them
selves what caused the rup-
ture? Previous X-rays showed
it had not existed during her
third month of pregnancy.
The patient solved it. She
said that when she was about
four months pregnant she
had had a laughing fit dur
ing a family reunion and felt
a sharp stitch in her left
side. That night she had Sc
we're pain in the lower chest
and upper abdomen, and it
lasted for 48 hours.
According to the doctors
"the fit of laughter must be
considered the cause Of her
hernia"
Do you disbelieve? Then
laugh as hard as you want
to, for there's little danger of
laughter dislodging your own
stomach-although probably
true in her case.
For Mrs. H: You were
fortunate in having a doctor
who was on his diagnostic.
Appendicitis can be fatal in
the young patient with mea-
sles because the abdominal
symptoms Of indigestion and
pain may sometimes be
masked by the measles itself.
Although appendicitis is
not a common complication
of measles, the doctor must
suspect it before the skin
breaks out in a rash, during
the period of the rash, and
even during convalescence.
THE BLOOD sedimenta-
tion rate is a relatively sim
pie test that your doctor can
do in his office. He takes a
small sample of blood, places
it in a tube and makes a
notation Of how long 1t takes
for the red blood cells to
settle. When this happens In
Evening star., 1962-03-26

an abnormally short time, it
is called a rapid sedimenta-
tion rate" and indicates that
there's some inflammation
or other trouble in the body.
Sometimes this one test
serves as a clue that there's
trouble which was entirely
unSuSpected, and the doctor
may take further tests which
uncover cancer or other seri-
Gus illness. Quite often the
sedimentation rate is rapid
in people with arthritis.
On the other hand, 1 have
known patients with rapid
rates who lived into old age,
and no cause was ever found
for the increased rate. AS in
any other laboratory test, the
"sed rate" is only one part
of a diagnostic examination.
