Two circus families. me from

the field behind George Wash

workmen were setting up gear
for tonight's performance of
the Hamid Morton Circus

will be additional performances
tomorrow and Saturday.
Inside a blue and white
trailer on one side of the field,
where it was warm and dry,
Joseph Valla surveyed the doz-
en- persons seated around a
small table. A rugged man
with a handsome grin. he
threw out his arms and said,

Mr.. Valla, who heads the

the United States on a tenn

ment.
Travelling with him are his
wife and daughter, a brother
and sister-in-law, two sisters,
one brother-in-law and a niece.

Grocer Robbed
Of $100, JeweIry

Two men held up the owner
OF a Northeast grocery last
night and took $100 in bills
and change from the cash reg
lister and a gold watch and a
gold ring, police reported.
Police said that one of the
robbers walked into Bands
Grocery, 627 Third street NE,
first and asked Myer Band, SO,
the store owner, for a pack of
cigarettes and then demanded
money.
At this point, police said, the
second robber entered and the
first pulled a gun and a knife.
The second man turned out the
lights and scooped $10O from
the cash register.
About this time Mrs. Band
entered from a back room and
the robbers forced both her
and her husband into the back
room, made them lie on the
floor and took a gold watch
and ring after searching this
room.
Police broadcast a lookout
for two colored men. One was
described as about 35, thin
build, dark skin, 6 feet tall and
wearing a dark hat and dark
brown topcoat. The other was
described as about 80, thin
build, about S feet 5 inches, and
wearing a dark brown hat and

The statement said:
! The Department Of State is
deeply distressed at reports OF
new atrocities in remote areas
Of the Congo. 1t is a most re-
grettable fact that outlaw mill
tary units are still able to en-
gage in violence in isolated
parts Of the country.
Despite the extreme, physi-
cal difficulty Of access to such
areas and the severely limited
forces available to the United

that the central government
with the help of the United

Comfortable Quarters
Glenn and Carpenter live in
combination of medical clinic
and private apartment. Their
quarters contain a laboratory
examining room, offices fo1
doctors and a nurse, a confer
ence room and living room-bed-
room. This last contains dou-
ble-decker hunks, acquamarine
carpeting, couches and lounge
chairs grouped around a coffee
table, lamps, colorful bed
spreads and a 21-inch televi-
sion set.
According to those who have
seen it, the room is neat but
not gaudy, comfortable but not
luxurious, and generally has
the look of newly married
couples apartment.
In his spare time, Col. Glenn
still runs two miles a day alone
on the beach to stay in shape,
autographs pictures, dictates
official and personal CORE
spondence, reads historical and
military books and watches TV,
especially news shows and pro-
grams relating to his own
flight.
He and Carpenter also con-
tinue to study geography and
astronomy books to further
familiari1e themselves with
land masses and the stars, and,
except for its celestial quality
its kind of like two tourists

The men actually working on

a rising tension.
There are several reasons for
this, according to one highly

placed field general. First is
the concern for the man in the
capsule, everything is being
checked and double checked
more thoroughly than for an
unnamed flight. Also, in the
rising crush of publicity and
visitors, the working engineers
and technicians have the in
creasing feeling that the world
and their employers are look

Signs of Tension
AS the days tick off, Col.
Glenn continues to eat and
sleep well. Little signs of ten
sion have cropped up here and
there but they are entirely
normal for a man in the
homestretch Of anticipation,
according to DR.. Stanley White,
chief of the astronautS' medical
support team.
He has begun to show a

says. If a problem comes up
requiring change, he wants to
see the change made and the

Col. Glenn will not require,
the doctor makes clear, any

or courage.
Every precaution is taken to
safeguard the health Of the two

tige is riding. For example, sit

by different hands, on different
utensils. The idea is to avoid
any accidental food poisoning

Col. Glenn continues to 20

checks and continues to re-

his pressure suit, is transported
