The Soho Research Center
in Cleveland, Ohio, reported,
however. that the two ships
we're moving farther apart. The

DR.. A. L. Jones. supervisor of

said a mathematical projection
of the center's figures indicated
the two space ships could have
touched one another in orbit

The Russian astronauts had

Senate finally voted on several
amendments to the satellite bill
before it adjourned at 1890
last night.
BY a vote Of Sc to 10, the
Senate rejected an amendment
by Senators Gore and Lausche
Of Ohio. which would have re-
quired the State Department
to supervise all negotiations be-
tween the new American sat-
elite corporation and agencies
in any other country.
This vote retained the pro-
vision already in the bill, per-
hitting the corporation to
carry on business negotiations
necessary to make the system
worldwide, provided it keeps
the State Department advised
Of such negotiations.
BY q vote of 81 to Il the
Senate also turned down an
amendment by Senator Kefau-
yer to give the corporation a
free hand in choosing between
the Telstar type satellite now in
orbit, and a high-altitude syn
chronous type being developed.
Vote President Power
Backers Of the bill accepted
an amendment by Democratic
Senators Lausche and Church
Of Idaho, to spell out the Presi-
dents authority to create ad-
ditional satellite systems to
meet unique Government needs,
or If otherwise required in the
national interest.
The bill already protected the
right Of the Defense Depart
ment to have its own satellite
for unique military communi-
cations. Senator Church said
this amendment would enable
the President to make special
provision for the United States
Information Agency If he de-
cided the private corporation
rates were too high for Voice
of America programs.
Throughout the debate OPP
ponents Of the private enter
prise bill have charged that
the American Telephone g.
Telegraph Co. would dominate
the new enterprise. Last night
Senator Kefauver said the
Kennedy administration is
"honeycombed" with former
AT&T employees.
He said one Of these, DR..
Brockway Mcmillan, Assistant
Air Force Secretary for re-
search and development, has
taken an active role ION furth-

The Tennessee Senator said
Mr.. Mcmillan worked at Bell
Laboratories from 1916 to 1860
and that his present post is
IAN odd spot for a man who
has spent most of his adult
life at Bell"
He said Mr.. Mcmillan not
only did not disqualify himself
from decisions bearing on
AT&T, "he has also deliberately
and gratuitously gone out of
his way to help AT&T with the

diSparage the efforts of AT&T's

Senator Bartlett, Democrat
Of Alaska, charged that AT&T

moving defenders of the public

They hear. They have vocal
chords. But somehow they have
failed to develop the ability
to speak or to understand what

Until recently, this condition
had been thought hopeless. The
techniques of teaching the deaf

aphasics.

Mrs. Edna K. Monsees ex-

school to test whether the

ory is that the community de-

The talk at the roundtable
Is more often about politics,
the law or baseball than
about literature.
But yesterday it was about
Henry David Thoreau.
Everyone had read that
Sunday was the Tooth anni-
versary of his death.
Was he something Of a
fsker? There are always
iconoclasts in the group. Was
he right in his idea that the
order Of the week should be
reversed-that we all should
work one day and take the
other six off?
Wouldn't that solve some
present-day problems-over-
production and unemploy-
ment?
Marvin Taylor of the De-
partment Of Justice joined
the group,
Someone remembered that
he was from Concord, Mass,
and had been moderator of
the town meeting for several
years.
What is Walden Pond like
today?" he was asked.
We we're all glad to learn
that it has become a State
park.

shoreline that is - by two
Concord families, the Emer-
sons and the Hoars until the
State took it over for a park

in Massachusetts, there
are two kinds of ponds"
Marvin said, "just ponds and
great ponds. According to an
old State law, great ponds
are open to the public for
fishing. Just how you get to
one Of these ponds without
violating private property in
getting there has never been
solved.

When they become the VIC

public interest, both from the
point Of view Of deterrence and
Of punishment, requires that
