Soviets ShedNewLight
On Titov's II Orbits

to a meeting Of the Federation
Aeronautique Internationale in
Paris last week.
Mr.. Decker, just returned
from the Paris meeting, told a
news conference yesterday the
information included Mai.
Titov's flight plan, details of
Instrumentation in the space
craft and on the ground, and
photographs.
The Russian delegates, he
said, produced the additional
information reluctantly, after
being pressed for it, but finally
came through with IAN amaz-
ing amount of data"
The United States delegation
concurred in a Federation de-
cision to recognize Maj. Titov's
flight as setting two world rec
ords-for distance in orbital
flight, 436,651.8 miles, and du-
ration, Is hours. II minutes.

Atlantic Community
And United Nations

@. Mr.. President, Senator
Jackson says that this admin
Stration and the last have been
putting too much stock in the
United Nations and that a
strong Atlantic Community is
the best avenue to peace. What
is your view on this?
A. I see nothing contradic-
tory in a strong Atlantic Com
munity and the United Ma
lions, nor is there anything
contradictory in a strong Or
ganization of American States
and the United Nations. In
fact, the United Nations, when
1t (charter) was written in
l945, gave room for these re-
g1onal organizations, Of which
there are a great many, of
which the United States is a
member. I support the United
Nations very strongly and I
think the American people do,
not because its power is I'M
limited, not because we COM
NIT our policy to the United
Nations so much as because
we believe that it serves the
interests Of the United States,
and the interests Of the United
States are in association with
free people, working together
to maintain the peace.
Now, I would be very I'M
happy if the United Nations
were weakened or eliminated.
You would have a great in
crease in the chance of a
direct concentration in some
place like the Congo between
the great powers. It might in
volve the United States directly
and perhaps the Soviet Union
on the other side. The United
Nations serves as a means of
channeling these matters on
which we disagree so basically
in a peaceful way. But that
doesn't suggest that we have
to choose between the Atlantic
Community and the United
Nations

u. S., Soviet Split
On INSPECTIONS

QuestiOn-Mr. President, in
Geneva in the talks that are
going on now, the Russians
have expressed the feeling that
any on-Site inspection in con-
nection with an atomic test
ban treaty would be an invita-
ton to espionage and even be
insulting. The British, on the
other hand, have spoken in
the last "a hours of settling
for an absolute minimum of
verification.
I wonder what you consider
an acceptable minimum of
verification. In other words,
would the United States &C
cept any sort of inspection
system that did not embrace
the right of International in
spection teams to be on Soviet
soil as well as United States
soil?
A. Well, I think it is much
better to permit the Secretary
of State. Arthur Dean, and
Mr.. Foster, who are carrying
the load for the United States,
to conduct the negotiations. 1t
is possible to pick up a num-
Der of disturbances from OBJ
Servation posts outside the So
Wet Union. But, of course, the
great difficulty is that you can
not distinguish by seismic
means alone, at this range, be-
tween an earthquake and q
possible nuclear explosion.
And it is for that reason that
we have felt there must be on
site inspection and the ability
to make that determination if
a suspicious event should oc-
cur.
It does seem to be a very
basic difference between the
Soviet Union and the United
States because they have sug-
gested that they would not be
prepared-even if the devices
were located off the territory
of the Soviet Union, they
would not be prepared to per-
NIT an inspection team to come
in to make the precise deter
mination as to the location
and kind of disturbance which
had taken place. So there is a
disagreement between the So
lviet Union and ourselves.
I think that on the details
OF the discussion in negoti-
atoms, we have sent very able
men to represent us and I
think they will represent the
interest of the United States
in this matter.

Medical Care

@. Mr.. President, the critics
of your medical care plan have
charged that this will be the
opening wedge for socialized
medicine in this country. Would
you care to comment on that,
sir?
A. -. The fact Of the matter
is this is a useful program, it
is developed for a special pur-
pose, and, in my judgment, it
is going to be adopted. I believe
it has a good chance this year
if not in the future, and it is
in the economic as well as the
social interests of people of our
country. But to say, II am
against it because at a future
date somebody else may do
something" does not seem to
me to be a rational argument
and it was the kind of the
argument which was success
fully defeated on many &C.
casions during the administra-
ton of Franklin Roosevelt.

Restotes Position
On u. NJ. Bonds

@. Mr.. President, In connec-
ton with your remarks about
the United Nations, we have
recently read criticism of the
U. N. bond issue proposal and
about the bill that has come
to the Senate Foreign Rela-
tions Committee. Would you
comment on these matter, too?
A. Well, there has been an
alternate suggestion put for
ward for meeting the financial
crisis Of the United Nations.
I think most people are aware
that. the United Nations faces
a very serious financial crisis.
Unless it receives assistance by
one means or another, the
operation Of the Congo upon
which so much depends will
end and that we will have q
very difficult and perhaps cha
otto situation which will, I
think, be far more costly to us
in the long run and far more
hazardous. So we have to come
to the assistance.
Now. this is the plan the
United Nations has adopted
and we have committed our
selves. and we hope the Con-
gress will support this effort.
We said we would buy $500 mil
lion worth of bonds. The For
eign Relations Committee
stated we would buy $25 mil
lion worth of bonds and I'D
to 500 million. if the other
countries met their quota. -.
They feel that this plan is
preferable. But in my judg-
ment, it would mean that the
United Nations would be faced
with attempting to pay back
500 million in three years. 1
don't think that there is any
evidence that they can do it.
It would have to be submitted
to the General Assembly to be
voted upon after they voted
upon a different plan. The
smaller nations definitely could
not contribute to it and in my
judgment it would be back in
our lap at the end Of three
In my judgment, every sur
vey shows that 80 to IS per
cent of the American people
realize the Importance Of the
United Nations and this is vital
to the life of the United Ma

U. 5. Soviets
Meet tuesday
On Space Plan

Soviet and American experts
meet in New York Tuesday with
President Kennedy's special
blessing to seek areas for CO.
operation in outer space.
The President told newsmen
yesterday he is "gratified" by
Soviet Premier Khrushchev's
reply to a proposal for space
co-operation indicating "a num-
Der Of areas Of common in
terest."
The President has designated
DR.. Hugh L. Dryden, deputy
administrator of the National
Aeronautics and Space Admin
istration, to lead the American
team In the technical talks,
which will explore possibilities
for cooperation in launching
satellites to predict weather, to
broaden global communications
and to explore outer space.
"The United States is deeply
committed to making all pos
sible efforts to carry forward
the exploration and use of space
in spirit Of cooperation and
for the benefit of all mankind
Mr.. Kennedy said in a state
ment read at the opening of his
press conference yesterday
afternoon.
DR.. Dryden and Soviet space
expert Anatoly A. Blagonravov
will open the exploratory talks
in New York next week.
They met last night at the
United States mission to the
United Nations for a friendly
chat after members OF the 28-
nation U. N. Outer Space Com
mittee had heard NASA officials
explain the United States space
program for the next decade.
Soviet experts will make a
report tomorrow night to the
U. N. committee and show films
OF Soviet space projects.
On other foreign policy mat
tiers, the President:
l. Advocated continuing
Geneva talks on Berlin, general
disarmament and nuclear tests
between the foreign ministers
Of East and West. While he
expressed no great optimism as
to the outcome, he said, 1T
would be a mistake for us to
feel that the prospects are
finished"
2. Reported no knowledge of
imminent attack on the Ameri-
can naval base at Guantanamo
Bay in Cuba. He first referred
to the base as American terri
tory" then retracted, but err
roneously recalled the United
States has held Guantanamo
on the basis of a treaty with |
Spain. The treaties were signed
with Cuba after her ties with |
Spain were cut.
8. Advocated waiting until
the proper moment" to recog-
nize an Algerian government |
instead Of following the Soviet |
example Of recognizing the re- |
gime before it has been for
mally established.
4. Focused on on-site inspec-
tons as the key to an effective
nuclear test ban. The Soviet
Union has suggested that they
would not be prepared, even If
the devices were located off the
territory of the Soviet Union
to permit an inspection
team to come on to make the
precise determination as to the
location and kind of disturb
ance which had taken place"
This is "a very basic differ
ence," Mr.. Kennedy observed.
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1962-03-22

or do you think there Is addi-
tional hope for further talks?
A. No. I think the talks
should go on. The conference
has only been in session (brief-
,y)-and I am not prepared to
abandon 1t. and it would be a
mistake for us to feel that
there the prospects are fin

HEADLINE PERSONALITY
Dryden Hard to Fool
In Science or Politics

When the Russians get down
to talking space cooperation
with Hugh Latimer Dryden, they
will find a man who is not
easy to fool. either politically
of scientifically.
The "a year old Deputy
Space Administrator = named
by President Kennedy yester-
day to be Americas negotia-
tor on cooperative Russian
American space efforts-is an
aerodynamicist of world repute.
He has been No. 2 mainland
No. / scientist of the Space
Agency since it was formed in
1858. AS such. he has been
touched profoundly by both sci
ence and world politics.
DR.. Dryden is a small, gray
type man with a scientists
knack for coming quickly to
grips with a problem and a
cracker barrel philosophers wit
in expressing his views. Both
qualities should stand him in
good stead in his new assign
ments: If there are fishhooks
in a Russian proposal he will
find them land he will reveal
their existence dryly without
offending.
Headed NACA
For many years before the
space age was officially recog-
nized in creation Of the Ma
tional Aeronautics and Space
Administration, DR.. Dryden
headed an agency with almost
the same initials. The NACA
for National Advisory Com
mittee for Aeronautics was
this country's spearhead Of
aeronautical progress, and DR..
Dryden was it's executive d.
rector. His good friend, Gen.
Jimmy Doolittle, was his titular
boss, as chairman. ~
The changes DR.. Dryden has
seen in NACA's growth to
NASA in the last three-and-a-
half years are almost as great
as the changes wrought in
aviation In his adult lifetime.
He has made the transition
from millions to billions with
equanimity, and now glibly
briefs Capitol Hill committees
on budgets that would have
staggered his imagination half
a-decade ago.
DR.. Dryden confesses, how
ever, that he occasionally re-
calls the days when he would
go to the Hill, hat in hand,
for a few thousand dollards for
paint and roof tiles. A recent
performance was to explain to
openly dubious reporters how
a $50 million center at Hous-
ton, Tex, would probably end
up costing more than 500 mil
lion. He never blinked an eye.
In the A years since he
Joined the National Bureau of
Standards as a 20-year-old
bachelor Of arts (Johns Hop
kins, '16), DR.. Dryden has seen

adulthood. His first plane ride

BY the Associated Press

The Soviet Union claims to
be planning an elaborate sys-
tenn Of civil defense shelters
plus the mass distribution of
gas masks and special protec-
tive clothing.
These claims, which contrast
sharply with Russian charges
that the United States civil de-
tense program reflects war
mongering. were revealed today
In q 406-page translation of an
official Soviet document.
Called Medical and Civil De-
tense in Total War" the vol
ume was placed on sale by the
Commerce Departments Office
Of Technical Services. 1t was
originally published in 1859 by
the Byelorussian Ministry of
Health, and was written by L.
F. Supron and F. P. zverev.
The book, based on lectures
given at q medical institute in
Minsk in 1858, gives no hint
of how much progress has been
made in carving out the plans.
Must Have Equipment
In discussing steps to be
taken in the event of an at
tack alert, the authors state that
every citizen must have his
own gas mask, a cape made OF
white, close-knit material. in
dividual first aid kits, and
protective stockings an d
gloves"
No mention is made of
whether these items have been
distributed, although the text
makes clear that clothing is OF
special design and material.
The book differs sharply
from American civil defense lit
erature in giving almost as
much attention to germ and
gas warfare as to the hazards
Of nuclear attack. The effects
of gases and methods of med
ical treatment occupy "a pages
compared with ST pages de-
voted to radiation sickness.
The volume is heavily laced
with political propaganda and
starts out with an attack on
"the aggressive ruling circles
of certain capitalist states" The
actions Of these unnamed
countries are given as the mo-
tivation for a Soviet civil de-
tense program.
Shelter Plan
There are references through
out the book to standby plans
for the populace to take shelter
in an attack and one statement
refers to plans ito expand the
network of existing shelters"
Any such network is not visible
to foreigners in the Soviet I'm
ion and pamphlets distributed
In Moscow lean to makeshift
shelters. Villagers are advised
to use cellars. Apartment dwell
lers are told that in case of a
bomb attack the safest place
