Tiros Photos
MoyAidShips
On Icy Routes
BY the Associated Press

The performance of Titros
Nv raised hopes today for a
brand new role for weather-eye
satellites - ice reconnaissance
to aid navigation on waterways
like the Great Lakes and the
Gulf of St. Lawrence.
The Weather Bureau re-
ported that the picture-taking
satellite. in its first "a hours
aloft, had taken striking pic
lures, of excellent quality, of
cloud cover, and of snow and
ice distribution" The snow and
ice photos were of areas of the
Great Lakes and the st. Law
renee Gulf.
The bureau also disclosed a
Joint American-Canadian SCI
entific project designed to de-
termine whether weather-eye
satellites can keep tabs on sur
face ice as we'll as airborne
weather systems.
Immediately after the satel-
lite blasted off from Cape Ca
naveral yesterday. 10 aircraft
from the United States and
Canada roared aloft to take
photographs of ice distribution
in the gulf of st. Lawrence
and its environs.
The plan is to compare these
airplane photos with those
taken by the television cameras
Of Tiros " in the same areas
and study the feasibility of
using photography to map ice
areas.
The National Aeronautics and
Space Administration reported
that "all systems are operating
fine in Tiros ", and the satel-
lite is taking good pictures and
sending down good infra-red
data"
Latest figures show the satel-
lite is circling the earth once
every 100.39 minutes, with an
orbit inclined 1929 degrees
from the equator. It's distance
ranges between AL and 525
miles. Average velocity is
1900 miles an hour.

SoIinger Wants
More TV Viewers
BY the Associated Press

White House Press Secretary
Pierre Salinger has suggested
privately that Democratic con-
gressional aides press for more
home town television coverage
of President Kennedy's ap-
pearances in an effort to
broaden support for ad-
ministration programs.
Mr.. Salinger made the sug-
gestion at an off-the-record
meeting with some As press
aides and administrative as
sistants to Democratic Sena-
tors from Western States.
An aide who attended the
Wednesday session said Mr.
Salinger told the group the
administrations weakest area
is the West. He said Mr.. Ken
nedy's programs need broad
ened support in that area.
Mr.. Salinger, the source said

come opposition to Kennedy
legislative programs, and sale
televiSion is an effective
medium for this effort.
Asked about the meeting to.
day, Mr.. Salinger said he hao
merely suggested to the group
that if they received letters
from constituents asking why
they could not see the Presi-
dents press conferences, that
the constituents be advised tc
write to their local televisior
stations.
While hundreds Of radio anc
television stations broadcast
the Kennedy press conference!
in full, Mr.. Salinger said there
has been a drop in the number
doing this. He also remarked
that only six newspapers If
the country carry the full tran.
script of the Presidents press
conferences.

He called on his press aide,

Mr.. Dent first singled out MIC

The press aide said he had
protested to NBC and up until

Mr.. Dent also mentioned the

Chairman Bailey Of the
House General Subcommittee
on Education today announced
the launching of a bipartisan
effort to get general Federal
aid to schools through Con-
gress.
Mr.. Bailey, Democrat Of West
Virginia, said the hearings will
be held by the subcommittee
February ~ on a legislative
proposal not yet introduced
which would:
Authorize basic ALLEGATIONS to
each State amounting to 2 per
cent of the States total ex-
penditures for public elemen-
tary and secondary education.
Make additional grants to
States where per capita income
falls below the national aver
age. The proposed bill would
be limited to three years, with
State matching funds on a
graduated basis required the
second and third years.
Under the bill, the funds
would be used under State laws
thus, according to Mr.. Bailey.
putting the issue Of assistance
to parochial schools up to the
State capitals.
SIG Million for District
Under the proposed bill,
authorizing $437, 1895, $50 for
school use and $50.1 million for
urban assistance, the District
would get an estimated 81 $780,
SGT during fiscal 1868. Mary
land would receive $6,469,570
and Virginia would receive
$11,562,832.
Participating in today's press
conference was Representative
Frelinghuysen of New Jersey,
ranking Republican member OF
the subcommittee, who said he
was not yet in a position to in
dorse the proposed measure. He
said there are various things to
be looked into, including the
ALLEGATION formula.
But Mr.. Frelinghuysen said
he feared the religious issues
might not be easily avoided no
matter what kind of program
was developed. He said that
presumably very little Of the
$500 million a year which the
bill would authorize would go
to parochial schools, so that
possibly the same objections
would be met by the proposal
as have been encountered by
the administration approach
excluding aid to parochlal
schools.
Would Aid Urban Projects
Another provision of the
proposed bill would give assist
ance for special urban and
educational projects. Fund S
would go to the States on the
basis of central city population
and would be available on ap-
plication by each State school
officer for urban area projects.
Mr.. Bailey said that he had
initiated the effort to get a
bill with bipartisan support,
acting for the administration
only to the extent that both
of us seek the same goal" He
said the proposal meets the
requirements outlined in Pres
ident Kennedy's education mes
sage.
Mr.. Frelinghuysen, while not
ready to indorse the Bailey
measure as yet, said no major
legislation in the field of educa-
ton could be adequately con-
sidered or enacted without BIZ
partisan support.
II welcome Mr.. Bailey'S in
terest in what we Republicans
feel constitutes sound legisla-
ton and his desire to get BIZ
partisan support for his BILL"
he said.

Senator Thurmond said that
from the letters and kilograms
he is receiving I'm confident
the people are not getting an
accurate picture of the investi-
cation"
The investigating subcom-
mittee found itself under heavy
attack on the Senate floor yes
terday after it was disclosed
that staff members had sub
mitted group of Marines in
headquarters here to a long
QUESTIONABLE designed to test
their knowledge of communism
and American political inStitu-
tionS.
One after another, Senators,
some former Marines, took the
floor to denounce the question:

Mansfield of Montana, who
proudly identified himself as a
former Marine private first
class, said he was shocked and
surprised"

Senator Morse, Democrat of
Oregon, accused the subcom-
mittee investigators of using
"Gestapo" tactics, and Senator
Young. Democrat of Ohio, of
seeking to play God with peo-
pies patriotism" Senator Hart,
Democrat of Michigan; told the
Senate his daughter gave him
the same test the investigators
used and he flunked it.
Senator Morse described as
unsatisfactory a report on the
incident prepared by one of the
investigators, Charles A. Byrne,
on loan from the General Ac-
counting Office to the subcom-
mittee.
Senator Stennis, who put the
Byrne report in the record, said
he thought a mistake was made
by the investigators in turning
down a Marine request on
grounds of legislative privilege,
for a copy of the QUESTIONABLE,
But he urged the Senate to
withhold Judgment until all the
facts are in. He promised a full
investigation of the incident
and declared, 1--WE are not
covering up, we are not holding
back"
Letter-Lifting Charged
Senator Thurmond gave the
controversy a bizarre turn when
he told the Senate that a
letter addressed to his legis-
lative assistant was lifted from
the brief case of a subcom-
mittee investigator on a visit
to Marine headquarters.
The letter. he said, found its
way to Gen. Shoup's desk and
has never been returned. He
said the commandant told him
that on orders of the Secretary
of the Navy he could not dis
cuSs the matter.
Senator Thurmond said the
letter had been written by P. A.
Terry, retired Navy comman-
der, and was addressed to J.

tive assistant. 1t suggested pos

nsportation has always been prob- lem in Alaska since there are only !, I'll miles of first class roads. Air trans portation is the only means which covers the entire state. A set-up known as bush planes is operated between villages and in remote places. Boat service is the next most import ant means of transportation but in many areas in the interior, freight boats arrive only twice a year. The Eskimo and his dog team is very realistic in many parts of Alaska where they serve as the only ans of transportation.
 Strangely enough Mrs. Nhaley says, the educational system is one of the best and so are the medical facilities. All~tea chers are English speaking United States citizens and in Anchorage they all have an certi ificate.
 The Doctors are consid red among the best in the country. modern hospital is under construction and all specialists may be- found there. An office call costs $7.5O and a normal checkup will range from $25 to $35.
 The natives are an inferior, simple, fiji thy people with many expectations. Most of them live in poverty with no knowledge of the outside world.

nouncements, moreover, are
couched in polite phrases and
make no direct appeal.
The White House and State
Department under this and
preceding admin istrations
have ordered a policy of fore
bearance. Occasionally, there
is emphasis and bluntneSs.
Every now and then there is
a Presidential sta t ement
broadcast which contains
resolute words. But there's no
exhortation-no appeal to the
Soviet people themselves. The
messages do not convey to the
people behind the Iron Cur
tain the basic fact that peace
cannot be assured in the
world either for them or for
any other nation until the
Communist tyranny and die
tatorship is removed and
peoples are free to conduct
their own elections and
choose their own rulers-as
in a republic.
The Soviet government
ironically calls its constituent
provinces republics" and
misuses the word democracy"
again and again, but the rest
of the world makes relatively
little effort to overcome the
effects of such deceptive tao
tics. Free governments do not
speak out on it, except in a
most abstract way.
The Soviet people have
been told repeatedly by a
controlled press, radio and
TV that the United States
and its Western allies are
indeed "aggressors." The
charge has been reiterated
constantly that America plans
the destruction of the people
of the Soviet Union by nu-
clear bombs direct from mis-
sile bases in Europe. Even in
side this country there are
many uniformed persons
who don't see the difference
between Western bases
erected in Turkey for defens-
i've and deterrent purposes
and missile bases built by
Khrushchev in Cuba for what
he chooses to call "defenS-
i've" purposes.
Many citizens in this coun-
try do not know why the
Western missile bases were
originally set up in Turkey,
nor do they know of the So
Wet threats Of missile attack
that preceded this counter
move by the West. Sure, it
was printed in the news
