London Papers
 British Jets Slipped Past US. Defenses

LONDON R - London news papers said today swift British jets slipped past US. defenses re- gently in a mock H-bomb attack that could have wiped out major cities, including New York, Wash ington, Chicago and Los Angeles. US. and British officials denied the report.
 Four British newspapers said the exercise was carried out by four Vulcan bombers about two months ago. The bombers fly up to 600 miles an hour.
 A spokesman for the North American Defense Command in the United States termed the report a lot of nonsense.
 The spokesman said further to- day, there has been no substantial tion of such overflights and these have no basis in fact"
 He said no British Vulcan bomb- CTS took part in any NORAD ex- ercises in all of last year, although these bombers may exchange visits with the Strategic Air Command Station at Omaha.
 The British Air Ministry first said an exercise took place about two months ago but declined to say whether it was a success. Then, after some apparent confusion, the Ministry came around to the of ' ficial American version. : The newspaper claims contained
 several important strategic impi = cations, particularly that the man a ned bomber has many more year s of useful life as a nuclear deterrent
 The Daily Express, Sketch, Tele graph and Herald all reported the strike.
 Had the attack been real, ii would have wiped out several major American cities, including Los Angeles, Chicago and New York" !" the Herald said
 The Express said it understood the operation succeeded because the Deltawing Vulcans were SC fast and apparently flew at an al- titude of about 12 miles.
 It said some of the Vulcans were fitted with electronic counter measures to keep American patrol planes from detecting the strike.

Eskimo Hunters Found, One Dies Two Survive

John Angusac and Ignatius An noyoc. who were wintering on King Island, are miracuously back in Nome again after real test of Arctic survival on the Boring Sea ice for six days.
 An older Eskimo, Frank Kay vanuk, who was 55 years old, died of exhaustion the day of the res cue although the two younger men had practically carried him between them on their ice pick until he died and had to be abandoned on the ice
 Seal hunters wear white parkas so they can hunt unseen by the animals they hunt and were only visible to the airplanes which searched for them because of a dark sweater which they waved, frantically, just before dark on Saturday.
 The search by the C-124 and the C-54 from Elmendorf Air Force Base was done systematically covering the area in which the winds might have carried the ice flow on which the three men were trapped after the ice broke from the pack at King Island. The plane was flying at an altitude of about 800 feet when the survivors were spotted. Because of the plan used in the search, helicopters from Nome were able to reach the mer without any trouble and take then to Northeast Cape from where the. were brought to Nome.
 It is estimated that during tn six days the hunters had driftet about 125 miles from King Islant to within about 25 miles of St Lawrence Island where they were found
 During the six days, the hunters killed one seal which was their only food, until survival gear was dropped by the C-54 and they kept on the move constantly to keep from freezing. Because of their ex- perience in hunting on the open ice they were not frozen or even frost bitten although they were ex- hausted from lack of sleep.
 Ignatius is a well known ivory carver, whose work is exceptional.
 Both will soon be comparing experiences with their friend, Gregory Ayak, who survived IT, day experience on the ice several years ago.
 Gregory was also in party of three which drifted to sea and his two companions froze to death He drifted up the Siberian Coast into the Arctic and back down the | Alaskan Coast until he was able to walk ashore at Ikpik. He suffered the loss of toes from his experience

sensible idea: Teach some aStronauticS
to scientists If Professor Hess is right
and we think he is-it would be a lot
easier to teach a physically qualified
Pho. how to co-pilot spacecraft than
1t would be to teach Ph.D.-level geo.
physics or geology to an astronaut.
Professor Hess would not accept Just
any Pho. for the job. He would insist
on more than usually brilliant young
scientist, just as NASA in choosing the
Mercury and Gemini astronautS
skinned the cream off the cream Of
the test-piloting corps. If Project Apollo
is to be more than just a spectacular
heat in the never-ending propaganda
race with the Russians, it is going to
need an infusion of general scientific
talent. Official announcements on the
subject lead one to conclude that science
is at least one-third Of the reason for
the moon race. What is more logical,
then, than that science should have
one-third of the seats in the spacecraft?

'MuIter's Masterpiece

In his new 71-page bill to revamp
the Districts liquor laws, Representative
Multer of New York has eliminated a
couple Of the more Objectionable pro-
posals he unsuccessfully made a year
ago. But this has been offset by the
addition Of others, to the point that
the 1868 version Of "Multer's Master
piece" as 1t is unlovingly referred TO
by its critics, is still very bad bill.
One OF its worst features would en-
tirely remove the Alcoholic Beverage
Control Board, with all the vast pres
sures which buffet that agency, from
any supervisory check or control by the
District Commissioners Another would
prohibit retailers from selling liquor be-
low a tediously- detailed formula OF the
retailers costs" thereby ending not only
loss-leader advertising but bargains for
the prudent shopper. Still another ques-
tionable section would add a lot OF mud
dy and totally unnecessary Verbiage TO
the existing controls against false ad-
vertising. There are others.
Mr.. Multer's magnum opus presum-
ably would benefit someone, but clearly
1t is not in the best interests OF the
public. At an initial hearing the other
day, the Commissioners gave this meas
ure a well-deserved lambasting. We
trust, in the lamentable event hearings
are resumed, that 1t will continue TO
receive more OF the same.

End of the Beqinnino

Project Mercury-the beginning Of
space flight-has been concluded, and
more than a few well dones" are in
order. Now, as Administrator James
Webb said in announcing the projects
termination, the Space Agencys full
energies will be concentrated behind
the more advanced Gemini and Apollo
programs leading to manned landings
on the moon several years hence.
To look back at Mercury and its
successes would be a gratifying expert
ence right at this point. But it would be
vastly more rewarding now to look ahead
to Gemini and particularly Apollo. Such
a look-ahead inevitably brings one to
consideration Of the question Of tomor-
rows spacemen, and the merits of a
growing demand for scientific represent
tation In the astronaut corps.
The engineers who run NASA's space
programs are currently resisting pres
sure TO place a scientist In the first
Apollo bug" to touch down on the moon.
This resistance does not seem to be
soundly based. Qualified young scientists
should be integrated into the astronaut
program now with a definite view to
including scientist in the first crew.
The justification for this attitude,
II seems to us, lies in the very nature OF
manned space programs past, present
and future. Mercury was an engineering
test and needed engineering test pilots
TO bring back the answers. Gemini, the
two-man program, is aimed at perfect
ing pilots skills, and again should be
left TO the pilots.
But in the case Of the three-man
Apollo project, the Importance Of science
is greatly augmented, and the need for
a scientist aboard is clearly indicated.
NAsA recognizes this need and present.
ly Is proposing TO fill II by teaching some
science TO the astronauts.
Professor Harry Hess OF Princeton,
chairman Of the Space Science Board,
came up a few days ago, however, with

Looves and Fishes

With five loaves and two fishes,
Jesus fed the multitude Of 5000 men
and many women and children. Now
the time is coming, Interior Secretary
Udall tells us, when modern miracle
will help feed millions Of undernouriShed
with fish protein concentrate.
The tragedy Of half the world in
hunger, while SURPRISES abound else
where, may be materially alleviated by
a harvest Of the seas. The miracle of
science, utilizing unharvested fish in
United States waters alone, "can pro-
vide supplemental animal protein for
one billion people for 800 days at the
cost Of less than one-half cent per per-
son per day."
Thus whole fish, reduced to a DOW
der, can be easily and inexpenSively
shipped to distant countries. Added to
cereals or other foodstuffs, it will give
sustenance and hope to the hungry and
diSpirited. One of the blessings of fish
protein is the seemingly inexhaustible
supply provided the governments Of
this and other countries cooperate to
develop and expand the industry. The
product, incidentally, is available from
fish not now used for food.
Secretary Udall's look into the fu-
ture, one Of the heartening moments
of the World Food Congress, gave new
meaning to the National Aquarium to
be built in the District. Scoffed at by
some as "fish hotel" it can become a
vital center for the study and propaga-
ton Of food fish. If Congress gives this
and other ocean-oriented projects a
chance, the miracle Of the loaves and
fishes one day may be multiplied many
times over.

Orderly Protest

There is plenty Of reason to be
proud Of the manner in which all hands
conducted themselves in yesterdays or
derly protest march by some 5000 DEM
onStratorS. But this is as 1t should be,
for this is the Nations Capital, and it
is here, II anywhere, that the good
example should be set.
Obviously, precautions were taken,
by the marchers as well as the police.
AS far as we are aware, however there
was not single incident which called
for. any intervention. To be sure,
handful Of Nazis, domestic variety, tried
to provoke the marchers. But Julius
HobSon, leader of the march, struck
the right note on this one when he
commented to the effect that the Nazis
enjoy the benefit of the same constitu-
tional guarantees which protect every
one, and that 1--WE defend their right to
carry their signs even If we don't agree
with them"
Commissioner Tobriner summed I'D
the official attitude in these words: 1T
am indeed proud that we in Washington
can hold demonstrations such as this
without violence or discourtesy. AS
Americans, you have the right to make
your grievances known by all lawful
means, and I as public official respect
this right with all my heart"
AS a final note, we would like to
add our belief that peaceful demonStra-
ton such as this can be held here be-
cause, in Washington, most areas of
racial discrimination have been re-
moved. The few barriers which remain
are crumbling. And all Of our residents,
colored as well as white, are aware of
this.

Wet Nam and America

Some 80 per cent Of South Wet
Mans population is loosely described as
Buddhist. Actually, however, the figure
embraces large numbers of Confucian-
lists, animists and other non Christians
who are not really believers in Gautama
BuddhaS basic doctrines.
This is a fact to be kept in mind
in any effort to evaluate the demonstra-
tionS that have been taking place
against President Ngo Dinh Diem and
his government. The demonstrations
including the CHASTITY lf-immolation
of Buddhist monk in Saigon the other
day-have been designed to pressure Mr..
Diem'S regime into permitting the Budd-
hiStS to display their own flag and to
have equal status with Roman Catholics
as regards such other matters as the
following: ~ The acquisition Of land
for religious purposes, (2) freedom to
worship and propagate articles of faith,
and (3) official action to make Buddha's
birthday as much an occasion for cele-
bration as is Christmas.
Some news reports have given the
impression that these demands reflect
Buddhist revolt against the minority"
rule Of the Catholics, who constitute 10
per cent Of the country's population of
Is million. The truth Is, though, that
the South Vietnamese government, I'M
der Catholic Mr.. Diem, has many fol-
lowers of Buddha In 1t. Its Vice PreSi-
dent, for example, is Buddhist. Half
Of the cabinet is Buddhist. The army's
chief Of staff is Buddhist. And the great
bulk, the rank-and-file Of the army is
Buddhist. Further, nearly all the So
called demands have long since been
satisfied These are facts that make
some of our experts doubt that Saigon'S
militant monks have popular support or
that such awful acts as an oStentatiously
staged suicide by fire arouse public pas
sion against the regime in power. On
the contrary, there is a "gut feeling"
as one of our knowledgeable people has
put it, that fanaticism Of this kind, far
from stirring up mass indignation, tends
to fill the onlooker with little more than
shocked curiosity and a sense of deep
repugnance, with no political implica-
tions in it,
Still, the situation in South Wet
Nam-where a seeming majority is de-
handing rights" at time when our
own country is undergoing a convul-
sion of troubles with Negro minority
also demanding "rights"-is full of ex-
plosive possibilities. What must be hoped
for is that our representatives in Saigon
will be able to help Mr.. Diem in his
efforts to bring about reasonable
agreement with the Buddhist dissidents.
What must be hoped for, too, is that
all Of us here in our own country, white
and colored, will be able to arrive at
similar understanding. Otherwise, while
undertaking to tell other peoples how
to get along together, we may suffer
domestic catastrophe whose interna-
tional consequences would be greatly
inimical to America and the American
dream.

Postal Answer

When your columnist
David Lawrence in his
column Of June 10 makes
the statement that "for many
years every National Admin
iStration has carefully OBJ
served Civil Service proceed
ures in hiring Federal en-
ployees and in making pro-
motions until the advent Of
the Kennedy Administration"
he is either ignorant Of or
ignoring facts that should
be available to any respon-
Sible columnist.
Taking his cue, and prob
ably his misinformation,
from the postal union that
he mentions in this column
he chooses to ignore the
many instances in which the
Fair Employment Practice
Committees revealed bias in
hirings, assignments and
promotions. Evidently, Mr..
Lawrence has never read the
Fisher report issued in 1913
after a thorough investiga-
ton Of a number of postal
installations.
The truth is that racial
and religious prejudice mani
fest in hirings. assignments
and promotions in the postal
service has permeated the
service throughout the years
and the files in this office
contain a case by case rec
ord Of the many injustices
perpetrated through the years
against minority group en-
ployees and job applicants
in the Federal service.
Now, when, for the first
time, a national administra-
ton moves purposefully to
correct or prevent some of
these traditional injustices,
who is 1t that cries "foul'?
A columnist who has re-
manned silent on the subject
during the years when every
effort was made to see that
no person of a minority
group obtained a supervisor
ship in the Dallas, Texas
Post Office. Adding a Sec
ond voice of plaintive protest
is a postal union that under
pressure only moved on Tues
day to remove its own racial
bars and abolish its segre-
gated locals.
The compliments deserve
each other.
