Kennedy
Goes
Yachting
BY the Associated Press

President Kennedy returned
to the White House last night
after cutting short his Cape Coo
week end.
A prediction Of deteriorat-
ing weather In the HyanniS
Port, Mass. area and a heavy
schedule of appointments
today led to the Presidents
decision to come back early.
Ordinarily he does not return
from the Cape until Monday
morning.
1t was the Presidents final
summer week end at the
Summer White House on
Squaw Island.
Among other things, the
President is expected to make
an announcement today of a
Postmaster General to replace
j. Edward Day, who resigned
as Of August 8.
The President braved a
chill southeast breeze to sail
on Nantucket Sound on the
White House yacht Honey
Fitz under overcast skies
yesterday.

The Scouts
Get New
Handbook

NEW YORK, Sept. 9 (AP).
Girl Scouting takes on a
new look this week.
-Four new handbooks, going
on sale tomorrow, introduce
a completely rewritten, re-
developed and redesigned
Girl Scout program.
This new design. the Girl
Scout organization says, is
based on a three-year uni
versity study and on tn e
latest findings In the field
Of child psychology and cur
riculum development.
1t provides a program of
informal education and rec
reation for girls from 7
through II, at four age
levels: Brownies, age 7 and
8; Juniors, age 8, 10, II:
CadetteS, age II, 10, IA;
Seniors age Is, 16, IT.
But, the organization
points out, the basic ele-
mentS of Girl scouting for its
25 million girls and 100000
adults have not been
changed. The fundamental
elements remain the same.
The handbookS had a pre-
publication printing of 3.5
million. Each handbook was
prepared by a team of five
working two yaers. They sell
for ST a copy.
From time to time during
the 81 years since Girl
Scouting started in this
country the handbookS have
been revised and updated.

The Fighter Aces AsSO-
citation was formed three years
ago. Dues are SO a year. The main
purpose is to broaden public
knowledge Of aerOspace tech
nOloy and to encourage young
men and women of special skills
to enter the aerospace field; the
club already finances scholar

ally to put up a national head

All of this costs money and
the association hopes to raise a
considerable sum from a televi-
sion series now in the works. The
club GOWNS" the war stories of all
of its members.
The Washington chapter alone
could keep such a series going
indefinitely. For example, one
show could open with an Army
Air Corps flight instructor telling
a sad-faced cadet he had washed
out of flight training. you Just
haven't got it," the trainer would
say. Whereupon the cadet would
join the Royal Air Force, get his
wings, transfer back to the Amer
lean Air Force in the fall 1912,
and then 60 out and shoot down

F0rty-three Washington area

Millikan, currently commander

is also president of the national
body. About half Of the 700 eligi-
BILE Americans are members.
Eligibility is simple: You must
be a former fighter pilot with at
least five enemy planes to your
credit in air-t0-air combat.

"A BOUT this time Il years ago,
an airplane pilot named r. J.

in the African desert, perched
atop q camel, cursing German
gunfire and quietly agreeing with
william Tecumseh Sherman's
blunt appraisal Of war.
On the other side of the world,
American flyers were finding
things just as hellish. The Japa-
nese were bedazzling American
pilots with an airplane called the
Zero that looked as if it were
made Of the same material as
japanese matches and fans but
which could turn quicker than a
fair-weather friend with new

come in on the radio and tell an
American pilot he was going to

and then he would do it."

The plan is designed to make

to limit Representative Pow
