Speed Urged
In Ruling on
Georgia Case
BY the Associated Prsss

The Supreme Court was
asked today to affirm imme-
diately an April % decision by
a lower Federal tribunal that
Georgia's county unity election
system violates the Federal
Constitution.
The three-judge Federal
court in Atlanta made the
ruling after the Supreme Court
earlier ruled that asserted NAL
apportionment of Tennessee
Legislative districts could be
acted on by Federal courts.
The Democratic Party of
Georgia, joined by Attorney
General Eugene Cook Of that
State, on May II appealed to
the Supreme Court to overturn
the decision by the three-judge
court in Atlanta, and to uphold
the validity Of the States coun-
ty unit system.
Counsel for James O'Hear
Sanders, who began the Georgia
litigation, filed today's motion
requesting prompt Supreme
Court affirmance Of the Fed
eral court in Atlanta.
The motion said the Atlanta
court had applied the test spec
ified by the Supreme Court in
the Tennessee case "and the
result the (Atlanta) court
reached is consonant with the
principles of justice and
equity" D

settled on their next candidate
for space: Astronaut Donald K.
Slayton.
1t. Comdr. Carpenter is now
slated to orbit the earth three
times no earlier than Thurs
day.
Unoffically it was learned
that technicians were readying
another Mercury space capsule
that it may contain Mai. Slay-
toms space couch.
Mai. Slayton. SO, was orig
inally named to be the astro-
naut for the present space shot.
But doctors discovered a
small irreguarity in his heart
beat and ruled him out of the
attempt. Comdr. Carpenter,
81, was named to take Mai.
Slayton'S place.
Evening star., 1962-05-21

named to take his place if for
any reason the primary pilot
should wash out.
Schirra Role UncIear
AS history records, Maj.
Slayton washed out, and for
reasons not entirely clear to
those familiar with Project
Mercury. Comdr. Schirra was
retained as back up" and
Comdr. Carpenter was named
primary astronaut in his place.
It was explained that Comdr.
Carpenter had more experience
than Comdr. Schirra-although
as some commentators pointed
out. neither man had ever been
a foot off the ground in a
rocket-propelled Spacecraft.
Space officials were quick to
give assurance that the re-
placement of Comdr. Schirra
by Comdr. Carpenter would not
delay the Mercury program. At
that time they were hopeful of
an April launching, and even
less Starry-eyed observers con-
Sidered a May l launching
possible.
Now, with the Mercury
Atlas-7 mission scheduled for
May "a and likely to go May 20,
the latest published utterance
of Comdr. Carpenter raises a
question.
This gives me more time to
bone up on the flight plan,"
Comdr. Carpenter was quoted
as saying. There was no ex-
planation Of why he regarded
this extra time as desirable.

More Millions
For A-PoWer

President Kennedy asked
Congress today to increase the
Atomic Energy Commissions
budget for the new fiscal year
starting July / by S210.8 million.
The extra funds include an
unSpecified amount for in
creased production Of atomic
weapons.
The White House said the
budget for operating expenses
would be increased by S164.5
million, including $120 million
to restore 1862 fiscal year funds
now being used in connection
with the weapons testing pro-
gram.
The increases also included
funds for a detailed study of
the seed and blanket" ap-
proach to design of civilian
atomic power reactors. This in
wolves a reactor core design
that would use a center seed"
of highly enriched uranium
surrounded by a blanket" of
natural uranium.
An. additional $46.3 million
was included in the supple
mental appropriation request
for plant acquisition and con-
struction, primarily to cover
cost above previous estimates
on two large reactor projects
the new production reactor at
Hanford, Wash, and the ex-
perimental gaS-cooled reactor
at Oak Ridge, Tenn.
Funds also were asked to
provide for widening and i'm
proving SO miles of highway
from the Acc Nevada test site
to Las Vegas. The White House
said the highway improvement
is necessary because of inten-
Sified activity at the Nevada
test site as a result of the
growth in nuclear rocket de-

velopment and resumption of
underground weapons testing.
The President also proposed
to use $50 million Of unobli-
gated 1862 fiscal year funds in
the 1868 fiscal year for con-
struction of a prototype or
ganic power and heat industrial
reactor under a cooperative
arrangement with private in
dustry.

Is pldIlQeQ-DuL Dy no means
certain the time-lag between
his mission and that of 1t. Col.
Glenn will be SO days. 1t was
83 days between Col. Glenn S
"Friendship-7" flight February
20 and that Of Enos the astro-
chimp last November 20. And
EnoS went into orbit n days
after the mechanical man"
flew once around the world in
Mercury-Atlas-4 on Septem-
Der 13.
The Gus" Grissom sub
orbital shot happened SO days
before MAJ. and the space
breaker of Alan B. Shepard on
May 5, 1861, occurred n days
before that.
No One Happy
The 37-year-old Comdr. Car
penter is represented as relax
ing in the Florida sun and re-
acting to delays with such COM
placent statements as, "This
gives me more time to bone
up on the flight plan" But
the fact is that neither the
pilot nor anyone else conceIsJed
is happy over the slow prog
reSs in Project Mercury. In
stead Of picking up momentum,
the Nations first manned space
program seems to be slowing
down.
At the time Of the Glenn
shot, a high Mercury official
said the National Aeronautjc
and Space Administration
hoped to get the next shot off
the pad within about so days.
This would indicate a hoped
for deadline of April 20, give
or take a few days. The mis-
sion has now slipped more than
a month from this initial tar
get date.
Slippages have been the
story of my life" for Mercury.
The first orbital flight was
hopefully-but completely un-
realistically-set for late 1860.
at a time when some unbiased
observers were reasonably sure
there would be no orbit even
in 1861. The cause of many
of these slippageS has been
the space agency's desire to
set records without taking
risks-or, as someone once said,
to make omeletS without break
ing eggs.
Lindbergh Anniversary Voted
Maximum progress consist
ent with safety, rather than
maximum safety consistent
with progress, has been the
watchword in Mercury. The !
recent headline-making delay
over the parachutes is a good
example.
To some, 1t was ironic that
Comdr. Carpenter was mark
ing time for minor technical
reasons on the 35th anniver-
sary Of Charles A. Lindberg's
"do-or-die" solo flight across
the Atlantic.
Many technically qualified
people are doubtful that ID |
The parachute delay Of last
Thursday was necessary and
that 20 The modification
really improves the situation.
The difficulty was so minor on
the Glenn flight that the astro-
naut mentioned it hardly more
than parenthetically, and the
chief engineer in listing bugs"
in the Friendship-7 system
ignored the premature para
chute release entirely in his
report to the technical-scien-
tific community April 6.
The parachute delay is REM

ground Astronaut Donald K.
Slayton because of a heart
condition that had been de-
tected and documented for 21a
years. Both changes appear to
be as a result of NASA head

Paid Political Statement

There are many kinds of
politicans--the willy crook, the
greedy pig, the selfish egotist
who thinks he is Gods gift
TO the nation, the fanatic re-
former, the gullible lamb whom
the shrewd politicians use as
a cats paw. and the intelli-
gent purposeful person who is
dedicated to the service of his
fellow man, and shows 1t un-
mistakably by the public work
he renders to his community.
When the latter kind of per-
son decides to go into political
life we call that person states
man.
We have such a person In
our district and moreover this
is a woman. An old truism
which is suddenly gaining wide
recognition is the fact that ''the
waste of woman-power is the
greatest waste In the world
to-day" For more than 1856
years mans creativity in the
US. has been directed towards
good government. while women
have had the privilege of helping
In government for a meager AZ
years.
More and more men of good
will realize that they need the
help of women to guide the ship
of state In this terrifically COM
plex world of automation and
orbiting satellites leading US
higher and higher into the ether,
Heaven alone knows where, so
when we find a woman like
Katherine Bailey who is willing
to dedicate herself to the pro-
motion of better government, |
feel that we should vote for her
regardless of party affiliations.
Here is a partial list of Kath-
crime Bailey's community act
ivities:
President for two terms of
Smyrna Clayton Business and
Professional Women's Club.
Past President and State
Vice president of American
Legion Auxiliary.
Chairman of Nursing Ser
vices Red Cross.
Volunteer Red Cross Nurses
Aide World War IL.

President for A years of Wo-

a famous man once pur-
chased an old abandoned farm
house which was situated on
the slope Of q mountain in q
sparsely settled area. The man
and his wife wanted seclusion
from the world, and this place
offered It. No noSey" neighbors
to pry, no noisy traffic, no
neighborhood children to
trampIe the flower gardenl They
truly wanted to be alone.
But after the man and his
wife had repaired the house
and had become settled, they
both admitted reluctantly that
things were too quiet." They
were bored
Let's take a walk down into
the valley and see what's down
there" said the man. So he
and his wife started exploring
their ~neighborhood."
When they got down into the
valley, they came, quite sud-
denly, upon a tiny house situat-
ed on a slight rise on the side
Of a Tavine.
Hello they called. No an
swer. Anybody home? Yohool"
they cried and pounded on the
door.
They were met by a little old
lady, hobbling with a cane.
Glory bel" the old lady said,
and welcome to me little
home. Be yours the window
with the light across the
valley2"
The man and his wife admit
ted that il was their light the
old woman had seen. @Yer light
sure has meant much to me"

the old woman said. ITS been
so lonely out here in the dark"
Then she asked them: BE
We agoin' to stay on your side Of
the valley and keep yer light
burnin' nightly?"
The man and his wife then
realized that the old lady was
depending on their light. Just
to know that someone was
near-even though on the far
side Of the valley-gave the old
woman comfort.
We'll keep our light burning
every night, just for you, dear,
and you're welcome to visit US
anytime" the mans wife said.
Then they went home and
pulled back the curtains so their
light would shine brighter
across the valley.
Are you letting your own
light shine?
There are many who deS-
perateIy need and want the
light that shines from the win
dow Of a Christian experience.
Sometimes people will tell us
how they are blest through our
own individual testimony or in
fluence. Sometimes they do not.
We may be assured, however.
that somewhere someone on
the hillside across the valley"
is watching for our light.
If we radiate our light so
people can see what God has
done for US, we can serve as a
guiding light for those who
need help, particularly when
those people are depressed and
upset.
