Huntsville Leaps From Cotton Town
To Threshold of Space in Decade

Once, not many years ago,
man beamed his dreams to
the wild blue yonder" and
cheered the lads who went
aloft in their B-24s to clobber
Schweinfurt or in their P-5ls
to do battle with the Messer-
schmitts and the Zeros.
But the wild blue proved to
be only a thin blanket. Above
our highest planes In World
War II the sky was already
taking on a darker hue. Re
member? We called 1t the
"stratosphere" (although we
weren't quite there yeti, and
we knew that above the
stratosphere the black sky
began. This was the space
sky that went on for cons of
light years, broken only by
The incandescent pin-points
Of the stars and the confused
whorls Of the galaxies.
Well, we're UP in the black
now-way up. The man-made
satellites from Canaveral and
Kapustan Var circle the earth
or wander in the timeless
limbo. Some Of them, we be-
lieve, contain the Russian
dead-more perfectly pre-
served than Lenin, himself
staring at the controls that
somehow went wrong.
1t is a frightening place,
this all-encompassing black.
In it grease and oil no longer
lubricate. Lead turns brittle.
Rubber refuses to stretch. On
the sunny-side there is burn
ing heat and on the shady
side nearly absolute cold. And
when a man ventures into
this region he travels in a
vehicle that must be preset
almost to perfection.
In q space ship there Is no

You are blasted into orbital

your altitude by releasing
tiny Jets Of gas. But the OPP

will end when the oxygen

News Strikes Continue
In New York, Cleveland

NEW YORK, Dec. 81 (AP).-
Two Of the Nations largest
cities face the start Of the new
year without their major news
papers.
New York has had a news
paper black-out for "a days and
Cleveland for 80 as strikes have
caused a total Of IL dailies tc
shut down.
There was no sign Of a quick
end to either dispute. No new
negotiations are scheduled.
In New York. the city's Con-
vention and Visitors Bureau
blamed the newspaper shut
down for drop of 10 to is per
cent in the normal volume of
restaurant, hotel, entertainment
and other tourist business.
Cumulative Effect
Royal w. Ryan, the bureaus
executive vice president, said
yesterday, There is little doubt
that the strike will have a
cumulative and deteriorating
effect on our city's visitor busi-
ness"
So many New York businesses
are dependent on the visitor
and the tourist, he added, that
"the longer the strike will con-
tinue, the greater the impact
1t will have on this aspect of
our city's life."
Labor Secretary Wirtz, who
tried at one point to mediate
the New York dispute, has said
the shutdown Of nine major
dailies could last into March.
And in Cleveland, where the
city's only two dailies the
morning Plain Dealer and the
afternoon Press and News
have been knocked out Of oper-
alton, an ominous note was
sounded by a spokesman for

Kennedy Set
To Ask Price,
PayStabiIitY
By LEE NJ. COIN
Star Staff Writer

President Kennedy this week
will make his biggest bid for
labor and management Coop
Grafton in the administrations
grand design for wage and
price stability, industrial peace
and economic growth.
While the President and his
top aides deliver their sales
pitch at the White House Con-
ference on National Economic
Issues. leaders of labor and in
dustry will get their chance to
protest the administrations
policies for guiding the
economy.
Mr.. Kennedy is scheduled to
start the two-day conference
with an important speech to-
morrow. Then, more than 200
representatives of labor, man
agement and "the public" will
settle down for a series OF
speeches and discussions on
these broad topics:
Collective bargaining and in
dustrial peace, economic growth
and sound wage and price pol
icies, benefits and problems Of
automation and policies to
make American products COM
petitive in world markets.
Faces TOuchy Issues
Labor Secretary Goldberg, in
charge of the conference, said
the idea is to facilitate under
standing between participants
rather than to urge agree
ment."
Although the administration
hopes for broad areas Of agree
ment, there is little prospect Of
unanimity on the touchy is
sues before the conference. In
fact, the conference is partly a
defensive operation to combat
the suspicion and hostility that
lately has alarmed the admin
istration.
Organized labor complains
about the "timidity" of the
Governments economic pro-
grams, and resents administra-
ton pressure to restrain wage
demands.
Industry wants more PRO
business" programs, and pro-
tests the Presidents tactics in
forcing cancellation of last
months steel price increases.
Many Leaders to Attend
The conference is an out
growth of the Presidents Ad-
visory Committee on Labor
Management Policy, 21-man
panel of labor, management
and public representatives
headed by Mr.. Goldberg.
This committee has been dis
cussing the topics that will go
before the conference, and has
adopted reports on automation
and collective bargaining. The
conference was set up as a
broader forum.
Among the big names Sched-
uled to join administration Of
ficials at the conference are
Roger Blough, board chairman
of the United States Steel
Corp; George Meany, president
of the AFL-CIO; Walter P
Reuther, president of the
United Auto Workers; James P

ministration's Secretary Of
Labor; George M. Humphrey

rived there to spend her
honeymoon.
Then, for about two years,
he was butler at the French
Embassy in London. where he
had to powder his hair, wear
red plush breeches, a mauve
coat and black pumps with
gold buckles in them. In
this attire he waited upon
such visitors as French Pres
ident Poincaire.
Uncles Here
He came to the United
States in 1923, at the sug-
geStion of four of his uncles
who were working here as
buffers with famous families.
Mr.. Days first job was as
butler to Jay Gould, the rail-
road magnate, at his Fifth
avenue house in New York.
Then he was butler at the
house of Mr.. Edwin Drexel
Godfrey, whose wife was heir
eSs of a firm that made the
Royal baking powder.
Next. Mr.. Day went to Bal
timore as butler to Mr.. and
Mrs. Walter Winchester
Keith. His wife was the heir
ess to the Bromo-Seltzer for
tune.
Then, for Is hears. he was
a butler to Mr.. William A. M.
Burden of the Troy Iron
Works.
In 1850 he came to Wash
ington, and has been with
Ridgewell Caterers since.
He is called upon to serve
not only at routine diplo-
matte parties, but the en-
bassies also call him up when
dignitaries come into town.
Thus, when Prince Bern
hard of the Netherlands was
visiting Washington, the
Netherlands Embassy called
him to serve the Prince.
MY first job in the morn
ing then was to go up to the
Princes chamber at the hour
at which he had left word to
be called and knock upon
the door.
"On entering the room. I
would raise the blinds and
say to the Prince, Good
morning, Your Royal High
ness He would, thereupon,
ask me how the weather was
outside.
The next thing I did was
to inquire what he liked for
breakfast. and then go out
and bring it for him.
II also asked him what
suit he would prefer wearing
and then laid it out for him."
Mr.. Day recalled.
Three Queens
Among the persons Mr.. Day
has waited upon are three
Queens of England. Queen
Mary, Queen-Mother Eliza
beth and Queen Elizabeth II.
The list also includes such
persons as Sir Winston
Churchill, President Charles
de Gaulle, Chancellor Konrad
Adenauer, Premier Nikita
Khrushchev and dozens of
such dignitaries visiting
Washington.
He also has waited upon
three United States Presi-
dents - Truman, Eisenhower
and Kennedy.
This was never at the
White House but at dinners
given for them at other
places. For instance, when
President Truman used to
dine with the Clark Cliffords,
Mr.. Day was the one sum-
moned to wait at the table.

BY MOHAMMED A. RAUF, Jr
Star Staff Writer


Alfred Day, one of Wash
ington'S top announcers at
diplomatic functions, believes
that a successful announcer
is a person who is never in
the way and never out of
the way"
Mr.. Day, who also helps
arrange the tables and serve
food at private dinners and
cocktail parties, said that he
can best do his job by being
neither conspicuous nor rele-
eating himself to the back
ground.
If the punch bowl runs
out. I see to it that it is
rapidly replenished. If a
guest wants a particular kind
of wine, I try to serve him
rapidly and exactly as he
wants his drink fixed.
II cannot do these small
things if I keep in the back
ground, but, on the other
hand. overService can be as
bad as underService.
The party mood depends
a lot on how the food is be-
ing served, and walters can
play a great part in keeping
the guests at ease" Mr.. Day
said.
Mr.. Day, who is British
born and who is serving food
or announcing guests at al
most a party a day, has been
in this business for the last
II years.
He said that an announcer
should be good in pronun-
citation, have good ears and
also be dignified. He eX-
planned:
The first quality is nee
essary because Washington
society is composed of people
from all over the world, and
they have names that can be
hard on the tongue. So, the
announcer should be able to
speak them Just as they are
meant to be spoken.
No Repeats
He said that at times,
guests, when they come in,
speak their names to him in
a very low whisper. There is
no time to ask them to re-
peat the name, nor is there
time to look at the invita-
ton card. So the an
nouncer must have sharp
ears to catch the name the
first time it is said"
AS far as dignity goes, Mr..
Day called it an absolute
must for his profession. Dig
nifty inspires confidence" he
said simply.
Mr.. Day began his career
as a page boy in one of the
stately houses of old England.
In 1915, at the age of Is,
he was a page boy at Bese-
leigh Manor (Scene of the
now-famous Beseliegh ghost
on-horseback in Berkshire,
and wore straight black
pants and a short coat with
10 buttons all the way up to
the collier.
Next, he was the valet to
the late w. w. Cook, a He
brew scholar at Christ
Church College in oxford.
Then he was a footman in
the establishment of Henry
Goshen, the famed director
of PARIS Bank.
His next job was as second
footman to the late Lord
Bradford, the first gen.
tleman-in- waiting to King
George V. He was serving at
