Cut and Dried Affair
That something as mundane
as a diesel engine could hold
up a globe-girdling spaceflight
added a touch of irony to what
surprisingly enough. was or
the way to being a rather cut
and dried affair.
The high pitch Of excitement,
felt by participants and OBJ
servers of earlier launchings,
was largely absent.
Until 8 am. the countdoWn
for Mercury-Atlas 9-designa-
ton of the Cooper mission
which is expected to be the
swan song Of Project Mercury

Even the weather cooper

original seven astronauts, was
awakened at $3.50 (EDT).

out a hitch.
Then Mai. Cooper donned
his silver-colored space suit,
picked up a portable air con-
ditioner which pumps cooling
air through the impervious
costume. and stepped out into
the glare Of photographers

Mercury work building.
About 200 people we're on
hand as the astronaut appeared
promptly at 6 am. He waved
twice, then stepped into a
transfer van which carried him
TO the launching pad.
Maj. Cooper arrived at the
pad shortly before $3.50. He
was greeted by James Demp-

stocky Scotsman, launched

into his capsule at $3.50 TO begin
the intricate pre-launching

|. u. 5. toGiyeI In
On Air Fares,
Senator Says
BY the Associated Press

Senator Magnuson, Democrat
of Washington, said today "the
United States is capitulating'
in the international dispute
over air fares on Atlantic
routes.
Senator Magnuson said the
State Department would an
nounce the action later today
clearing the way for a 5 per
cent increase in round-trir
fares. which this country had
opposed.
He said the department
would announce that American
carriers would be directed 10
put the higher fares into ef-
feet.
Senator Magnuson reported
the forthcoming action shortly
after the White House had an
nounced that President Ken
nedy would ask Congress to
give the Civil Aeronautics
Board power it now lacks to
regulate and enforce interna-
tional air fares.
British in Lead
1t was indicated that passage
Of the measure would put the
CAB on a par with the British,
who have taken the lead in
trying to enforce a higher
transatlantic air fare schedule.
Later, however, the White
House said the proposed legis-
lation Mr.. Kennedy was send
ing to Congress would have no
practical effect on the current
controversy because 1t would
take too long to push through
Congress.
An official said that Mr..
Kennedy had planned to
recommend the legislation any
way and the present dispute
had speeded up his action.
To Call Hearing
One official who had spoken
of retaliation said later that
that was perhaps too strong a
word.
Senator Magnuson, chairman
of the Commerce Committee,
told reporters he has called a
hearing on the dispute and on
the White House bill tomor-
row afternoon.
Our carriers want to keep
rates down for American ira
velers," said Senator Magnu-
son, who previously urged the
CAB to stand firm in resisting
the 5 per cent increase in pas
senger rates.

The United States resumed

Kennedy ordered the under

When a family issues we'd
ding invitations. they en-
deavor to follow the age-old
traditions. Why is IT. then
that those who receive the
invitations make no effort
whatsoever to follow correct
form when they answer
them2
All year long mot mostly
May and June as 1t used to
be-. scarcely a day goes by
during which a wedding in
vitation is not received. How
do you answer It?
II you are asked to the
church services only, do you
remember that no reply is ex-
pected2 II you are invited to
the reception afterward, then
an acknowledgment should
be made Immediately. When
replying, you accept, or re-
gret, for the reception only.
Just as you would for any
other reception. Only the
names Of those issuing the
invitation should be mem
toned. Never include the
names Of the future bride
and bridegroom.
My reason for writing on
this subject again is that !
was appalled, when I had oc-
casion last week to go over
the replies to wedding invi-
tations that had been sent
out by q friend Of mine for
the marriage Of her daugh-
ter.
While checking the &C
acknowledgements, I came across
many that were in the worst
possible taste. Those who use
the following methods are Ell
Their ignorant or just don't
care.
Never, under any circum-
stances, write your reply on
a typewriter. It is obligatory
that 1t be handwritten. Do
not use the small informal
follower cards that are used
so often for informal invita-
lions. Even more out Of place
is to scribble a YES" or mo"
on your visiting card.
Don't write your acknowl-
edgment on colored station
cry. Only white fine-grade
paper Is considered appropri-
ate when replying to the for
NAL wedding reception invi-
tation. Above all, don't make
the mistake Of using q busi-
ness letterhead. How careless
can you get?
The handwritten acknowl-
edgment should be worded
somewhat as follows land
spaced the same way:

emerging in world affairs. They
want to believe that something
fundamentally new Is happening
to the Soviet Union and to East
West relations.
Given q bit Of encouragement,
some U. N. people will believe
these things whether they are so
or not. They will try to make
them so by eloquent oratory. q. N.
diplomats are fervent believers In
the power Of speech.
Thus the 1868 Assembly is likely

for U. N. inspection. In return
for agreement to such inspec-
ton, some Latins hope to get
Castro released from American
preSsures and bracketed into
the emerging detente.
1t is all highly ambitious and
speculative. No one has come up
with a scheme to de-Sovietize
Castro; and without 1t, the
chances of a Caribbean detente
seem distant.

ardently- with support against

to be billed as 1.-THE assembly of
detente." If it lives up to the
name, even in part, by producing
practical progress toward East
West understanding, the euphoria
may be uncomfortable.
There will be an opportunity
for progress at the outset when
the foreign ministers of East and

President Kennedy may have
some practical suggestions to
make in this connection and
when he addresses the gathering.
He may we'll seek 20 bring the
euphoria down to earth.
But the U. N. also has its own
built-in antidote. When the
speeches are done, and the ring

through the green and gilt
chamber, there are bread-and-

which have a very SOLDERING effect.

Q RELIGION. The Roman Cath
olic regime of Ngo Dinh Diem

excoriation on grounds Of re-

denials Of human rights.
The United States can join in
some of this criticism, consistently

when the Assembly opens, some
may question the sincerity Of

Washington could topple Diem If
1t chose.

Each of these conceals its own
special brand of dynamite. For
example:
Q RACE. African criticism of

tinent-in South Africa, Rho
desia, and the Portuguese COL
onies-is due to reach a peak
of intensity.

because Russia and others have

Everything seems to come back
to the detente. The U. N, a rea-

East West relations, is likely to
cast considerable light on its
course. If there is East West prog
reSs, many things may go more

The Chino of 1863

In short, what is happening in
the China of 1868?
The answer -long obscured by
the Chinese-Soviet debate be-
ginning to emerge from behind
the Chinese wall Of secrecy, prop
uganda and double talk.
The astonishing fact Is that
Mao, in spite Of, or because of
bitter criticism from abroad, ap-
pears more secure as China'S No. /
man than ever before.
And the Chinese giant, which
stumbled and fell into an eco
nomic morasS six years ago, has
begun gingerly to use his wobbly
legs. Next year he may walk.
This is bad news for the West,
and for Mr.. Khrushchev. 1t means

no mood for compromise. Unless
