Tradition has it that on Vet
Grams Day the snow geese ar.
rive at Pea Island Nationa
Wildlife Refuge on the Outer
Banks of North Carolina.
Naturalists may sniff, but
true enough, the birds arrived
by the thousands over the week
end to spend the winter at Fish
and Wildlife's big sanctuary or
Hatteras Island and in Ma
tional Park Service ponds or
nearby Bodie Island.
Old timers say the geese
have been doing this since Ar
mistice Day in 1918. Actually
though. the migration started
several weeks ago with small
flocks trickling in to end their
long journey from their sum-
mer home in Northern Green
land and the islands of the Arc
tic Ocean.
Attact Bird Watchers
Eventually, about half of the
10000 snow geese known to
exist will gather on the Outer
Banks after stops at Bombay
Hook in Delaware and Chinco-
league and Back Bay refugees
in Virginia. There they will
furnish the main attraction for
the many bird watchers who
visit the area every fall a n d
winter.
The close packed masses,
flashing black and white and
sounding like an express train
as they rise when a visitor ap-
proaches, furnish one of the
most exciting spectacles to be
seen within the Cape HatteraS
National Seashore Recreation
Area but not the only one.
For the Outer Banks, from
Bodie Island to the tip of Ocra-
coke, furnish attractions for
the nature observer quite I'M
like others available in this part
Of the country.

he has to go alone because,
even though I'm married. I
am not old enough to 60 to
those places, and he is too

age. So he goes alone and !
sit home. Is this fair? What
can I do about it? 1t will be
three years before III be old
enough to 60 with him.

Advisers Urging
Continuation Of
Feed Grain Plan
BY the Associated Press

Continuation Of the Govern
rnent's voluntary feed grain
program for the next three or
four years was recommended to
Secretary Of Agriculture Free
man yesterday by an advisory
committee.
However, the committee said
1t recognized that at some time
in the future a mandatory pro-
gram for limiting acreage Of
feed grains might become neces-
sary.
Fred j. Ludwig Of Laurens,
Iowa, chairman of the Secre-
tary's Feed Grains Advisory
Committee, told newsmen no
changes were recommended in
the previously announced price
support levels for the 1868 crop.
He said increased price sup
ports were suggested for 1864
but that no specific figures were
mentioned.
The present voluntary pro-
gram relates to corn, barley
and grain sorghums. Farmers
can take part by reducing their
1959-60 base acreage 20-50 per
cent and then be eligible for the
price supports. No supports are
given to those who do not par
ticipate.

- ------- INTERPRETATIONS
u. S. Won't Disclose
Red Space Failures

the Soviet space effort, was
not answered.
Chairman George Miller of
the House Space Committee
said he would try to get the
information, but apparently
was unable to relax the Gov
ernment's resumed secrecy
policy.
An article by a Free Europe
Committee researcher, pub
lished in The Star today. raised
anew the question Of what the
Government knows. High Fed
eral sources today conceded the
existence Of American intel
ligence information on Soviet
failures, and also confirmed the
existence Of the policy of sill
ence.
It is known that the So
called Intelligence community"
within the United States Gov
eminent receives and evalu-
ates such information. Re-
ports are regularly turned over
to the State and Defense De-
partments, the Atomic Energy
Commission and the National
Aeronautics and Space Admin
istration. according to a reput-
able intelligence source.
Data From Outside Russia
One NASA spokesman sug-
eested that information might
be withheld because we've got
a good man there at the
launching pad and want to
keep him" But this explanation
does not hold water, In the view
Of others. Most American in
telligence on Soviet space ac-
tivities is believed to be gath
cred outside RusSia-much Of
it electronically by our own
radar warning and space track
inc networks.
While official secrecy pre-
walls here, reliable European
publications breach the Soviet
space curtain occasionally. In
cluded are the periodicals
"Interavia" and Flight Inter-
national" which often get
data from British and other
non American government
sources that are withheld by
United States authorities.
Flight international recently
has been publishing much more
data about secret" American
space launches from the West
Coast than American pubhca-
tions have printed. The infor-
nation apparently comes from
British Government tracking
experts.
Evening star., 1962-12-05
BY WILLIAM HINES
star Science Writer

The United States Govern
ment apparently knows a lot
more than 1t is telling about
Russian failures in space. Elk,
actly why the present strict
silence prevails is not clear.
For nearly five years after
the start Of the Space Age the
Government hewed to the fic-
tional line that 1t knew moth
ing more about Soviet space &C.
complishments than the Rus
SLAMS chose to give out. This
fiction collapsed last September
6, with an official American
statement regarding Soviet
planetary probe failures.
Space Administrator James
q. Webb let the cat out Of the
bag with a detailed report or
five unsuccessful Russian at
tempts to send instruments to-
ward Venus and Mars. The re-
port came in reply to a query
from the chairmen of the two
congressional space committees
Inquiry Not Answered
The Webb announcement
raised hope that the secrecy
curtain would be lifted, now
that the existence of American
information on Russian fail
ures was publicly admitted. The
hope was short-lived, however
A request by The Star to the
Space Agency on September 7,
addressed specifically to the
