coming into the District for
urban renewal purposes be-
cause of the fact that Assurance
companies had not been grant,
ed the same exemption pro-
vided for other institutions en-
gagged in the legitimate business
of mortgage lending"
Some Exemptions
Already exempted under the
1913 law were national banks,
licensed bankers. trust COM
panies, savings banks, building
and loan associations and real
estate brokers.
The Mortgage Bankers Asso-
citation of Metropolitan Wash
ington spearheaded the move
to get the insurance companies
the same exemption as the
other institutional lenders so
there could be no technical
question about the right Of life
insurance companies to lend at
more than 6 per cent interest
rates on large commercial and
apartment projects.
The bill to exempt the life
insurance companies was circu-
lated to business and banking
circles and drew wide support.
At a hearing on May l, wit
neSSeS emphasized the need to
bring in outside money for
multi-million- dollar long term
financing and pointed out that
insurance companies were at
least as heavily regulated as
the lenders already exempted
from the 1918 act. With no
opposition witnesses, the bill
appeared to have clear sailing.
Seeks Exemption
Mr.. Donohue, meanwhile,
had gotten busy. Since the PEN
sion fund couldn't get a license,
he went after an exemption by
law. He asked William Mcleod.
chief clerk of the House Dis
trict Committee, to include ex-
emption for pension funds in
the bill.
Mr.. Mcleod told him to check
with the Board of District Com
miSSioners. The former presi-
dent of the board reported back
that the Commissioners had
no objection to adding the PEN
sion funds and the Corporation !
Counsel later confirmed it in
a letter to the House commit
tee. No other pension funds
had asked for the exemption,
according to committee files.
Mr.. Mcleod took the Dono-
hue proposal to members of the
subcommittee and they ap-
proved it. AS the bill went to
the House floor in June, it
was still titled as a bill lex
empting life insurance COM
panieS from the Act of Febru-
airy 4, 1913, regulating loaning |
of money on securities in the
District Of Columbia" but PEN
sion funds were tackled on to
the body of the bill. That's
the bill now pending in the
Senate District Committee.

SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. 4
(AP).-Where does the atmos-
phere end? Where does outer
space begin?
These thorny legal questions
were raised today before the
American Bar Associations
Section Of International and
Comparative Law.
I would prefer not to ap-
proach this problem as being
that of the finding of where
outer space begins" said John
A. johnson, general counsel for
the National Aeronautics and
Space Administration.
THE primary question is not
where outer space begins, but
where the upward reach of the
exclusive power of the under
lying state ends"
Re-Entry Is Key
Mr.. johnson, in q prepared
address, said the issue may be-
come important on the flat
re-entry courses Of astronauts
requiring flights of 1000 to TO-
600 miles at attitudes of IS to
so miles over the earth's sur
face.
Mr.. johnson observed that
Astronauts John Glenn and
Scott Carpenter made their re-
entries after three orbital
flights mainly over the high
seas or American territory.
But in future space explora-
lions, Mr.. johnson declared:
1T will become necessary to
know in advance whether any
portion Of the re-entry phase
OF a manned space flight vio-
lates the territorial air space
OF another State because of
the altitude at which its land
or territorial waters will be
overflown.
1T appears that the existing
state Of law is that we have
an area of space extending up
ward from the surface of the
earth for an indefinite dis
lance, which is exclusively con-
trolled by the underlying state.
Free VS.. Unfree
"This is an absolutely I'M
free area, we might say.
above that, beginning at
some underlined point, lies the
free realm of outer space.
Whether there is or should
be an intermediate third realm
to which the exclusive power
Of the underlying state does
not extend, but in which the
full freedom of outer space may
not be enjoyed is an interesting
item for speculation"
Mr.. johnson declared the
eventual solution of this prob
lem would be essentially politi-
cal in nature.
IF this problem is to be
solved, it will be done on the
basis of accommodation of the
political interests of the states
concerned and not on the basis
Of scientific or chronological
criteria," he said.

dications that these figures
will show any dramatic shifts.
Key members of Congress
have been skeptical about en-
Urgency tax cuts all along. They
oppose the idea of increasing
the prospective budget deficit
deliberately, in the absence of
clear signs Of urgency.
Skepticism Deepened
Their skepticism has deep
ened as a result Of the incon-
elusive economic statistics, pub
Lie opinion polls and hearings
conducted by the House Ways
and Means Committee.
The Ways and Means hear
ings have yielded a mixture of
viewpoints about the serious
ness Of the recession threat and
the wisdom of emergency tax
cuts. Witnesses also have split
over the formula for tax reduc-
tions.
Hearings this week before the
|Senate-HouSe Economic Com
mittee also are expected to pro-
duce mixed testimony, rather
than the unanimous call for tax
cuts that would be needed to
inspire action. E
In addition, these hearings
will focus attention on none
tary policy. William McChes-
ney Martin, jr., chairman of
the Federal Reserve Board, in
tends to pursue tight money
policies If tax cuts increase
budget deficits.
Would Ease Pressure

cuts would ease the pressure
for tight money. Some advo-

Gemini is one of the IL

to astrological bluffs. The
old astrologers used a symbol
for Gemini that resembled

know how man would make
out in space. Now that we
know, designing Gemini is
much simpler.
who can say what this ex-
perience is worth? Looking
ahead to Apollo, maybe we will
find in Gemini one key point
that might make or break the
mission"
The enthusiasm of the plan
ners for Gemini is shared by
the men who will fly the mis-
sions. One such man, with a
particular vested interest in
Gemini, is AStronaut Donald
K. ("Deke") Slayton, whose
trick heart grounded him from
Mercury but who is still in the
for Gemini.
"Of course I'm looking for
ward to it." says Mai. Slayton.
I'm looking forward to any
chance to fly. AS far as the
long-duration missions are
concerned, I don't see where
they'll be any problem. The
rendezvous missions will prob
ably be more of a challenge"
Gemini to Answer Questions
Mai. Slayton believes it may
turn out to be more difficult
to link up two bodies DRIFTING
the earth $50 miles up at 1900
mile an hour than to bring a
tanker and a jet fighter to-
gether for refueling at 10000
feet and 400 miles an hour.
Others equally qualified to
judge think rendezvous docking
may actually be simpler than
refueling. No one will know
until Deke Slayton-or some
one else-goes up to try.
And this, essentially, is what
Gemini is all about: To answer
questions about which men can
only speculate today. Questions
like:
Can a rocket be devised with
sufficient reliability and q quick
enough reaction time to get
men into orbit safely on just
a few minutes notice?
Once aloft, can a spacecraft
really be Unanswered with such
Sensitivity as to link up safely
with another object, not just
occasionally but repeatedly and
predictably?
At the end of a mission, can
a wingless craft be piloted back
to earth and land, airplane
fashion, on something very
much like a standard airport
runway?
Effects of WeightIessness
On the physiological level,
what effects will really pro-
longed weightlessness have on
Spacemen?
PSychologically, what will be
the effect of seven days of iso-
lated, stressful confinement
not in a test tank on the
ground but actually in space
100 miles or more up?
NASA planners are hopeful
that the answers will not be
disappointing. But, Pollyanna
fashion, they point out that if
the answers to Gemini's ques-
lions are adverse, this will give
them all the more time to find
new approaches to Apollo.
With the tight schedule they
have, Gemini experts are keep
ing their eye on the immediate
goal of IL to Is missions in
1864 and 1865. But few of
them can resist Sneaking an
occasional peek at the POSSIBLE
tiles for Gemini beyond '65.
Some enthusiasts believe the
two-man spacecraft, or a
follow-on development from it,
may become the "C-47 of the
Space Age" doing workhorse
jobs with small loads in near
space, or perhaps as coSmic

The indictment charged Lou

Ter formerly lived in Washing

gagged with Mr.. Donohue in
an unsuccessful effort to pro-
mote jai slai in nearby Anne

In the Poller indictment, the
grand jury said it was trying
to find out If Fred w. Strecker,
jr., had an interest in loans
totalling $4,000 made by the
pension fund to a st. Louis
corporation.
Mr.. Strecker is one of the

PreSser Convicted
Another trustee, William
Presser, president Of the Ohio
Conference of Transfers, has
been convicted of obStructing
justice. The Supreme Court has
put off reargument Of the case
until fall. PresSer served a 60
day Jail term last year for con-
tempt of Congress.
A third union trustee, Roy
Williams. general organizer for
the Transfers and business
agent Of a Kansas City local,
has been indicted on a charge
Of embezzling funds from the
union.
The 16 trustees applied for
a money lenders license under
the 1918 loan shark law late
last February to allow the pen
sion fund to make loans at
more than 6 per cent interest.
Mr.. Donohue was to be resident
agent under the money lenders
license.
Mr.. Donohue told District
licensing officials that the fund
intended to go into the mort
gage field in the District-just
as it has made loans from
Florida to California with its
$3.50 million fund.
Application Vetoed
The Corporation Counsel's
office vetoed the license appli-
cation, ruling that the law gov
erning license for money lend
ing refers to corporations and
cannot be given to trustees.

dubious about emergency tax

Another factor reducing
chances for emergency tax cuts
is the opposition expressed by
a broad range Of influential
Democrats. Among those on
record against tax cuts now
are Senators Harry F. Byrd of
Virginia, Kerr of Oklahoma
and Douglas Of Illinois.
On top Of this opposition
from representatives Of the
Democratic conservative, mid

Republican leaders have made
it clear that they would fight

Battle Seen Sure

Even If the President could
push tax cuts through Con-
gress this year, it would in
volve a battle-and that's what
he does not want now.
Some administration leaders
are pleased at the prospect of
waiting until 1868 for action
on taxes. They fear that emer-
gency tax cuts now would kill
plans for permanent tax re-
auctions and reforms.
The s. economy's chemically
slow growth - with unemploy-
ment at 5 per cent or higher
during the past five years
shows that permanent tax re-
lief is the main requirement,
according to these officials.

Rome by the road along the

sembled in st. Peters on
Sunday morning, Nov. A, to
thank God and to honor Pope
John XIII on the Fourth
Anniversary of his Corona
ton. The Fathers of the
Council were in their places
in the nave. Many of the
Bishops who had planned to
be out of Rome for the few
days of recess, from Nov. l
to 3, made a special effort
to be present at the Mass on
Sunday.
POPE JOHN assisted at
the Mass from his throne be-
fore the main altar, facing
the rows of Cardinals and
Bishops In the nave. Digni-
taries of all kinds and peo-
pie filled the Transcripts or
either side and to the rear OF
the altar. The Holy Father
spoke first in Latin and then
In Italian. His Holiness spoke

es changes are merely minor,
such as the inclusion Of the

A TWO-FOLD preoccupa-

To render the celebration of

as holy as possible; and, to
favor the understanding and
participation of the faithful
in the sacrifice of Our Lord
through the action of the
priest-celebrant and the peo-
pies voluntary oblation.
There is evidence that
the Council Fathers feel that
the discussions have been
sufficiently thorough. The
Council is ready to weigh the
proposals according to the
single goal of formulating
the decisions of the liturgy
in accord with the needs Of
souls and the welfare of the
Church and society.
