Washington's three major network

competition themselves Tuesday
night as they vie for the most COM
prehensive coverage of area election

Matthew Warren will be anchor
man with Len Diebert handling
Virginia returns and Keith McBee
covering Maryland. This pair will
introduce direct reports from men
at key points in the two States.
The newsroom locale, of course, will
provide handy access to Associated
Press returns and information from
Evening Star State reporters.
Over at Broadcast House, election
headquarters for WTOP-9, seven
minute reports will be telecast at %
and SO minutes past the hour begin
ming at 1928 pm.
In a highly organized operation
under the direction of Larry Becker
man, the station, under anchorman
Julian Barber, will report as follows:
Scott Sutton and Sam Donaldson

Key Women in Government

That women as well as men play
important roles in the Government is
evident from the special awards Just
made to six outstanding careerists by
the Board Of Trustees of Federal Wom-
ans Award. These women have rendered
distinguished public service in such
varied fields as astronomy, chemistry,
pathology, foreign relations, law and
personnel administration. We pay our
respects, therefore, to the following
women chosen as the 1862 recipients of
the FWA honors: Mrs. Katherine w.
Bracken, director, Office of Central
American and Panamanian Affairs, De-
partment of State; Miss Margaret H.
Brass, chief, General Litigation Section,
Antitrust Division, Department of JUS
tice; DR.. Thelma B. Dunn, head of the
Cancer Induction and Pathogenesis Sec
ton, National Cancer Institute; Miss
Evelyn Harrison, deputy director, Bu-
reau Of Programs and Standards, Civil
Service Commission; DR.. Allene R.
Jeanes, chemist, Agricultural Research
Service, Department of Agriculture, and
DR.. Nancy Grace Roman, chief of As
tronomy and Solar Physics Programs,
National Aeronautics and Space Admin
iStration.

demagogic Defense Minister ana chief
mouthpiece in the United Nations. Many
of his compatriots, fed up with his anti
American and pro-Soviet bias, had
hoped to see him defeated, but Mr..
Nehru almost passionately supported
him, and so did the Communists. Ac-
cordinglv, few things could be less sur
priSing than his reelection.
Presumably this means that Mr..
Krishna Menon will continue to head
the defense ministry and serve in the
U. N. Both he and Mr.. Nehru might bear
in mind, however, that the people of
the United States, not to mention great
numbers in India, take decidedly dim
view of Mr.. Menon's poisonous and sin
lister brand of "neutralism," which has
been almost invariably for the Kremlin
and against the West. Among the free
delegations of the United Nations, he
has long since won the top prize for
unpopularity. With good reason, these
delegations are not deluging him now
with congratulatory messages.

Police SeIf-Inspection

The establishment of an Internal
Investigation Unit headed by Deputy
Police Chief Layton is further evidence
of Chief Murray'S determination to safe
guard the integrity of his growing force.
OF special significance is the new
screening procedure to which prospec-
tive policemen will be subjected, in addi-
ton to the routine checking of refer
ences and background of recruits. For
he has found that majority of the re-
latively few policemen who have gotten
into trouble in the past several years
were from other cities and towns-and
that more thorough pre-appointment
inquiry would have revealed deficiencies
Of character not conSonant with the
responsibilities of law enforcement.
1t will be the duties of Deputy Chief
Layton and his staff to screen all
applicants much more carefully than
has been the custom in the past and
also to investigate reports or charges
of irregularities or corruption on the
part OF men already on the force. This
is obviously tough assignment for any
police officer, but Deputy Chief Layton
has proved equal to difficult assign
mentS in the past.

Khrushchev's S Nature

The Star recently quoted
former President Eisenhow-
er's comments on Soviet
Premier Khrushchev COM
ments which could certainly
be commended If they were
directed to or about an
understanding Christian or
humanitarian.
Gen. Eisenhower said, IT
don't think that Mr.. Khrush-
chev is, himself, necessarily
a cruel man, but he's raised
in the doctrine of force :.
I'm sure he loves children"
Somehow, one cannot re-
call hearing of Mr.. Khrush-
chev'S love for the Hungarian
children - and women and
oldSters-during Mr.. Eisen-
hower's term as President
in 1856. Are we so naive that
we can accept the show Of
what appears to be "love of
children" on the part of the
man Khrushchev Who
throughout his tyrannous
career and dictatorship-has
enslaved millions of innocent
people? How can reasonable
humans explain away the
continuing cruelties of the
Russians all over the globe
and the continual haraSs-
ment of our own officials at
interminable conferences in
the hopeful search for under
standing and cooperation?
This is love?

Cultural Chairman

1t is encouraging, and especially fit
ting, that Mrs. John F. Kennedy has
agreed to serve as honorary chairman
of the National Cultural Center, for this
project is necessary and long missing
adjunct to the fullness of life in the
Nations Capital. The lively interest in
cultural affairs which the First Lady
has demonstrated in a number of ways
is assurance that she will be an active
participant. Obviously, the prestige that
she will bring to the project on the eve
of its $30-million fund-raising drive
will be invaluable. Most important of
all, however, her position will serve to
emphasize the national character of the
Cultural Center, as opposed to its local
aspects-a concept which will have to
be accepted in communities throughout
the country if the ambitious financing
campaign is to succeed.
Evening star., 1962-03-01

f1cultieS are much greater,
partly due to the differences
in alphabets and to the diff
ferent orders in which words
are used. Success is believed
assured, however, in q couple
of years.
Work on both machines is
being carried out at the Rome
Air Development Center,
Rome, N. Y.
The worlds largest balloon
now is being operated by the
United States Air Force to
measure cosmic radiations in
space.
In one Of its first trials it
has scared to 10000 feet car
rying a 200-pound payload Of
scientific equipment to meas
ure the intensity and type of
1onizing radiation in a solar
flare. one Of the great out
bursts Of flame which occur
periodically on the face of
the sun. The balloon carried
13 million cubic feet Of hell
um at its peak altitude.
Moon Project
Another giant balloon of
the same type has been
launched in the first Of a Sc
ries Of projected flights to
photograph the surface of the
moon. The purpose was to de-
termine how much photo
graphic clarity could be OBJ
tanned at an altitude of 20
miles, well above most of the
earth'S atmosphere.
The research photography
program will be carried out
mostly at an altitude of
about 10000 feet. At least
SO per cent of the atmosphere
lies below this and photo
graphs are much clearer than
can be obtained at any lower
levels.
It was possible to carry
aloft a 2,000-pound payload
of Photographic equipment to
this altitude over the White
Sands Missile Range in New
Mexico. This was during a
full moon phase which lasted
most of the night.
The Photographic payload
was protected in a cagelike
contrivance designed by the
industrial contractor with
which the Air Force is Jointly
conducting this scientific ex.
pertinent.
During the appropriate Pc
riods the researchers have al.
most unlimited time for their
work in the high altitude bal
loon, so that much clearer
more detailed pictures can he
expected than would be pos
slole from any fast-movine
missile or other space con-
trivance. VIII

Our Bad Neiqhbors

Unfortunately, as mere cit
izens, we have little control
over the foreign policy of our
country other than our vote
every four years and our let
tiers to our Congressman
whenever we are lucky
enough to learn of a major
issue before the fact.
However, what are we to
do in a case like the recent
Punta del Este conference of
the OAS? American aid and
American imports spell the
difference between success
and failure Of many Of these
Latin American governments.
They solicit our aid. We
provide it-in the form of
direct loans, construction
grants, redevelopment prof.
ects, and encouraging indus
trial expansion.
Our reward? The three
biggest gamers show their
thanks by going against us
representing free mem and
favoring Cuba representing
violent overthrow of all of
their governmental systems).
This sort of reaction dis
turbS me greatly and
prompts me to recommend
the only three actions that
we as citizens can take
against these countries at
this point in time:
/. Express our dissatisfac-
ton by letters to our Rep
resentatives, our Senators,
