By Howard Benedict

CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. R - John H. Glenn Jr. yesterday kept a personal date with destiny, a date he worked unswervingly toward for long time.
 In all ways since his selection as a Mercury astronaut three years ago, Glenn drove himself hard-dedicated and determined to ride into space and contribute to mans knowledge.
 So far as anyone could tell, nothing could corrode his iron nerve. All those postponements, including the heart-breaker of Jan. 27, when he spent 5 hours and 13 minutes strapped down in capsule that wasn't going any where, could have unhinged a lesser man. But not Glenn.
 Modesty also stood out all over Glenn's makeup during his long training. In vain, he pleaded with the world to take the spot light off him and his family and focus it on the worthwhile things to be done, and learned, up there in the skies.
 Why was Glenn, a family man with two children, willing to risk his life in a space capsule whirl- ing about the globe at 17,500 miles an hour?
 Age of Exploration
 We've got to do it." he once said We're going into an age of exploration that will be big ger than anything the world has lever seen.
 People are afraid of the future of the unknown. If a man face lup to it and takes the dare Q
 the future, he can have som
 control over his destiny. That | an exciting idea to me, bette lthan waiting to see what's goin
 to happen"
 Glenn, ba1ding 40-year-oI Marine lieutenant colonel, wanfes desperately to be the first Amer ican space pilot. He lost the cal on the first two flights to Alar, PB. Shepard Jr. and Virgil I. Grissofn. For each of those brief 'sub-orbital flights, Glenn was the Fbackup astronaut.
 He rated his backup experience, in which lie worked closely with Shepard and Erissorn for weeks before each flight, as invaluable for his round -fhe-world orbit mission. f Also invaluable was his experi- 'ence as a combat pilot in World War IT and later in Korea. He shot down three Coanmunist Mig s~- .a

Second Defeat

The administration suffered a
second defeat last week on its
revenue measure when the SEN
ate voted 66 to 20 against the
plan to withhold taxes on divi-
dends and interest. This came q
day after the President was up
held on one important feature of
the measure, the $1.3 billion tax
credit to corporations for expen-
ditures made to modernize their
plant and equipment.
Under this provision, businesses
will be permitted to deduct from
their tax bills up to per cent
Of the amount of money they
spend for modernization. If, for
example, a corporation invests
500 million for new equipment
it could subtract up to 81 million
from its taxes for the year.
This revenue loss was to have
been made up largely by tighten
ing expense account loopholes and
by the added collections resulting
from the Withholding taxes on
dividends and interest. Unless this
withholding provision Is restored
sin a subsequent Joint conference
with the House, the fiscal 1858
budget deficit will be considerably
larger than anticipated.

Liberal Fight

Now, many Of this same group
Of liberals are fighting tooth and
nail against an emasculated ad-
ministration revenue bill. Com
planning that the White House
has let them down, Senator Gore,
Tennessee Democrat, bemoaned
the failure of his attempt to write
language into the measure which.
he said, would end abuses" of
expense accounts.
What has happened to the
Irish element in the Kennedy ad-
ministration?" he asked. "They
took a defeat without a fight"
The decision on a new filibuster
may come early this week when
Minority Leader Dirksen offers an
amendment to the revenue meas
ure which would permit self-em-
ployed citizens to deduct I'D to

tirement funds.

House Record

The House, meanwhile, hasn't
been treating the administration
much better than the Senate has
nor has it raised hopes for early
adjournment.
Early in the week, the Ways
and Means Committee turned
down a bill to extend again un-
employment compensation bene-
fits. And Representative Pass
man, Louisiana Democrat, dis
closed that the House leadership
has decided to postpone consid-
Grafton Of the foreign aid appro-
priations and United Nations
bond measures until September
10. Both are highly controversial.
One reason cited for the delay
is that many congressman want
to be home for primary election
votes-Such as those in New York
on Thursday and in Massachu-
sets on September 18.
But all was not black for the
administration in the House last
week. In addition to speeding
along the satellite communica-
tions measure, which Mr.. Kenne-
dy signed on Friday, it voted 5000
million for public works for de-
pressed areas and approved a
constitutional amendment to out
law the poll tax as a requirement
for voting in Federal elections.
The proposal, which carried 295
to 06, now must be adopted by
38 State legislatures within the
next seven years before it can be-
come the Twenty-fourth Amend
ment to the Constitution.
However, because of a clerical
error, the public works bill must
run the House gauntlet once again.

SupremeCourt:
New Appointee

freS i q e mt X n n edy on
Wednesday announced the re-
tirement Of Justice Frankfurter
and the appointment Of Arthur
]. Goldberg as his successor on
the Supreme Court. On Thurs
day, the President named I'm
dersecretary w. Willard Wirtz
as the new Secretary of Labor.
The President strobe into the
handsome auditorium Of the new
State Department building, took
his place behind the lectern as
the cameras of the nationwide
televiSion networks focused on
him and, after a brief greeting
to the assembled reporters, began
reading:
Il regret to announce that As
Sociate Justice Frankfurter has
retired from regular active serv-
ice on the Supreme Court.
Few judges have made as sig
nificant and lasting an impress
sion upon the law. To the
vacancy created by Justice Frank
furter's retirement, I intend. to
appoint Secretary Goldberg"
There was a slight hum in the
auditorium as the President spoke
because his announcement con-
tained two mild surprises.
l. Although Justice Frankfurter
had suffered a stroke last April
S, recent reports indicated that
he was planning, and would be
able, to resume his duties when
the Supreme Court opened its new
term in October. He had served
on the high tribunal for % years;
it was his life. he loved it and
would not easily give it up.

Developments

For most Of the five months
in Geneva, the talks have been
quite disappointing, but last week
there were some hopeful signs.
These were produced by the fol-
lowing series Of developments:
. Faced with Soviet refusal to
accept any international inspec-
ton on Russian territory. Arthur
Dean, chief United States dele
gate, made in behalf Of the Anglo
American forces a modified test
ban proposal. The allied plan
called for a ban on all tests in
the atmosphere, under water and
in space. Pending a controlled
agreement, tests would be al
lowed underground.
The allies made it clear they
preferred ban on all tests, but
said inspection would be neces-
sary before they would agree on
underground cessation. Present
detection devices cannot verify
all underground explosions with
out inspection. The other types Of
tests, however, can be verified
without inspection.
. The Soviet Union proposed
ending all nuclear tests by jan
uary l. 1t made 1t clear, how
ever, that it would not allow any
inspection Of possible under
ground tests.
Q At his press conference, Mr..
Kennedy welcomed the Soviet
suggestion for ending all tests by
Evening star., 1962-09-02
Senate Block?

And even If the big powers
agree on a treaty, it might run
into difficulty in the Unite d
States Senate, which must ratify
1t. The unpoliced provisions of the
non-underground tests are sure
to rankle many Senators who dis
trust any agreement with the
Russians.
Mr.. Kennedy, however, told his
press conference that he was con-
fident American security would
not be endangered by the Ameri-
can proposal. Earlier, he had said
no decision on whether to con-
tinue tests would be made until
after the Russian tests were over.
Apparently, with the Reds half
way through their round, he has
decided that their tests are no
threat, that any progress they
make will not hurt the United
States. OF greater danger, Mr..
Kennedy said, would be the un-
controlled spread of nuclear
weapons to other nations.
Those who oppose an agree
ment should consider what our
security will look like at the end
Of this decade if we do not have
the agreement and we have the
possibility of 10 or Is countries
having these weapons, and when
one goes off, it may mean they
all go off,"
Evening star., 1962-09-02
Conclusions

Thus by the end of the week,
the following conclusions could be
made.
Both sides seem willing to cease
atmospheric, underwater and
space tests by the end Of the
year. There would be no inter-
national verification Of such a
treaty, since any cheating could
be detected beyond a country's
borders.
The two sides differ on under
ground tests. The West says that
a policed ban is preferable, but
If no inspection is allowed. it will
not agree to moratorium. The
Russians want a moratorium.
The neutral delgates in Geneva
were pleased by the progress.
Since most Of them fear atmos.
pheric tests above all, they
praised the big powers for agree
ing on ending all non-under-
ground tests.
Despite the neutrals' enthusi-
asm, the disagreement over un-
derground tests is serious. 1t cuts
to the heart Of the East-West
troubles. The West refuses to be
trapped in another moratorium,
and the Soviet Union refuses in
Spection. The Russians claim that
continued underground tests
would benefit the West more
than 1t would them since the
West has q greater variety Of
smaller, tactical weapons on the
drawing board.

Other Countries

Actually. any agreement signed
by the United States, Great
Britain and the Soviet Union
would have no legal effect on
other countries. France, for in

its nuclear arsenal so long as any
possible enemy possesses nuclear
weapons.
And Red China is reported to
be on the verge of testing her
first weapon. Other nations, such
as Israel, Sweden, Switzerland,
West Germany, the United Arab
Republic and Italy all have shown
an interest in nuclear weapons.

Force Out

Force was ruled out, he said,
because it could lead to very
serious consequences for many
people" Some right-wing critics
Of the administrations mo win"
policy have been urging an all
out attack on Cuba under the
authority of the Monroe Doctrine.
Senator Capehart, Republican of
Indiana, last week said the Soviet
Union was sending troops to Cuba
and this was cause enough for
invasion.
The President said his intelli-
gence reports-at odds with those
Of Cuban exile groups In the
United States revealed no Soviet
troops, only military and tech
nical advisers" This apparently
is not cause for any such action
as Senator Capehard suggested.
These advisers" however, bear
a strong resemblance to the Amer
ican advisers" in South Wet Nam,
now believed to number about
10000. Senator Keating, Repub-
lican Of New York. said Friday
that he believes there are 1900
Russian troops in Cuba.
Obviously, there are Russians
on Cuban soil. possibly helping
construct modern anti = aircraft
guns, and possibly land to air
rockets. And as Cuba becomes
even more an armed camp, so
does the threat increase Of minor
incidents exploding into major
ones.
