BENNY GOODMAN IS SATISFIED WITH JAZZ TOUR IN SOVIET UNION

MOSCOW lR = Benny Goodman says he is satisfied his six-Week jazz tour of the Soviet Union was a success = despite some grumb- ling among members of his band that he played it too cool.
 Americas King of Swing" drop ped a hint why he kept the swing ing low gear. Soviet auothrities were afraid he'd turn young Rus sians into real cats who might get out of control.
 "They had read about riots caused by rock n roll and I don't think they wanted any of that" !" Goodman said. Strangely enough I was accord with the Russians. That was the last thing I wanted. I wanted applause from the audi ence = that was all I wanted.'
 Speaking at farewell lunch con for Western correspondents, Goodman d s closed that both American and Soviet authorities had been apprehenSlve about the tour which was bank-rolled by the US. government as goodwill gesture.
 The tour struck snag that de- layed Sunday nights final concert 20 minutes when members of the band demanded to be paid off be- fore going on. There was no ex- planation for the delay in handing out the paychecks
 Negro trumpeter Joe Wilder of New York sat out the concert in protest against a deduction in his salary for what Goodman aides said was excess baggage he took along with him to Moscow.
 But a sell-out crowd turned out at Lenin Sports Palace for the windup and called the band back for 20 minutes of encores.

JFK URGES SCHOOL CHILDREN TO EXERCISE
HYANNIS PORT, Mass. tR,

HYANN1S PORT, Mass. R = President Kennedy, citing fright ening statistics showing one fourth of the nations school chil- dren cannot pass a simple fitness test, urges all schools to require children to take more exercise.
 Kennedy who made the appeal in a statement issued at his Cape Cod summer residence Sunday, report ed some encouragement in surveys indicating that more boys and girls were able to pass tests in schools with organized fitness programs, and that fewer failed after a year of physical education.
 There is strong evidence,' Ken nedy said, "that the threat to the strength of young America can be overcome. Yet, the shocking fact remains that at least 60 per cent of our children do not participate in daily program of vigorous physical activity. This conclusively shows how much remains to be done, and this is the critical time of the year"
 Kennedy's statement was based on a report submitted by Bud Will kinson, Oklahoma football coach and his consultant on youth fitness.

Bias, Liz his Up Sky from Hawaii To Australia
By Claude Burgett

HONOLULU tR A powerful hydrogen device exploded 200 miles above the earth and lit the reaches of the Pacific from Hawaii to Australia for six minutes start ing at II pm. Sunday night 2 am. PDT today.
 IL marked success on the third try by the United States for the high-aItitude test from tiny John- ston Island.
 The Atomic Energy Commission in Washington at first would say only that the explosion involved a a nuclear device. Later 1t confirm ed it would be proper to call 1t q thermo-nuelear explosion and use the term thermo-nuclear device.
 Hydrogen Bomb explosions are thermo-nuelear - that is they are brought about by fusion of atoms.
 Immediately the Soviet Union deaonounced the United States for exploding the one to 10 megaton thermo-nuclear device. It called it an aggressive action timed to CO., ineide with the opening of the l World Congress for General Dis armament and Peace in Moscow In England. the =explosion. was criticized and defended. But Dr. R.. (. Sutcliff of the Meterology Of flee Department of Research. said the blast was too high to disturb the worlds weather.
 As anticipated, the explosion ap- parentlv knocked a hole in the ionosphere which reflects some types of radio signals from place to place on earth. Reports from Japan indicated communications were affected. Some places were expected to be without radio com munications for 32 hours. In Hono- lulu radio stations were washed out only briefly.
 EyeWitnesses agreed 1t was the most spectacular sky show they had seen. In Hawaii for six min l tues lll6 IlSIl pCNctllIe Jl Sllt da day. For two or three seconds, # was early sunrise. Quickly the sky reddened from it's earlier hues of white and green to pink, rose and deep orange. Then just as sud- denly, it was night again

New Zealanders, panlcky or curious, called their newspapers An intense glow appeared above the northern horizon, spreading across a clear sky 10 the southern horizon Then a luminous red band widened, shot through with white shafts of light.
 The explosion marked success by the United States on it's third try to explode the giant thermo- nuclear warhead carried aloft by giant Thor missile.

A New Years greeting jotted
down in a diary in the year 1858
exempted Southerners.
Sam Smyth, a Union lieutenant
fighting in the mud of the Civil
War at Holly Springs, Mississippi,
made this notation in his journal:
"Happy New Year to all the

Obviously, the entry was made
at time when things were going
badly for the North. The entry
continued: :" though to speak
truly think the prospect is not
such as to warrant and in even
hoping that the wish (of Happy
New Year, may be fulfilled
had hoped to see different state
of things, and that we should
enter upon the New Year with the

Professor SAYS
No Resolutions

If you feel you must make New

wise to start off with this one: 81
resolve not to make any resolu-
tons this year"
That's the advice of DR.. George
H. Smith, professor of psychology
at Rutgers (N.J.) Newark College
of Arts and Sciences.
cat New Years, everyone eX-
hibits natural tendency to make
a new start, to drop some bad
habits and to become a better
person, the State University psy-
chologist said. "This leads to a
resolution to make a sudden and
sharp change to oneself. Some.
times this works, but more often
the holiday resolutions fall" he
said.
"Why do New Years resolu-
tons often fail? Usually" says
DR.. Smith, because they are
made under pressure without a
clear acceptance of responsibility,
without even a deep desire to go
through with them.
Not Sincere
"For example, some feel they
would be better people if they
lost weight. Under a New Years
deadline, they decide to lose
large amount of weight. But they
do not deeply wish to do so. They
refuse to accept the hardship in

Consider Comfort
In Planning Party
For New Years Eve

Here are a few tips for a Sue
cessful New Years Eve party:
Don't invite more people than
you can comfortably serve. It's
a nice idea to invite the whole
neighborhood, but parties should
be given in comfort.
Keep plenty of ash trays handy,
and keep them clean. A discarded
cigarette may start a smoke
screen coming from a tray of
piled-up cigarette butts. Have
plenty of clean ash trays handy
and you may not discover cigar
cite burn in your new rug after
the party is over.
Don't serve gooey food-unless
you enjoy playing a guessing
game when your rug cleaner asks
you to identify various spots on
your carpet. Nuts, cheese cubes,
cold cuts are perfect for a New
Years Eve party.
