Her Son is Next in Space
She Believes God Has Pattern for Each of Us
BY BOB SHAW
Associated Press Writer

TECUMSEH, Okla, May
l3.-Mrs. Hattie Cooper is as
excited as q mother whose
only son is getting ready for
his first date.
But her only son, Gordon
Cooper, is geeting ready for
a special data date with
history, in a 22-orbit, "a
hour trip around the world.
A Grandmother
Mrs. Cooper, a pert, gray
haired grandmother, Is visit
ing her mother in this quiet
central Oklahoma town.
II came down here to take
care Of Mama" she said.
Her mother, Mrs. Orena
Herd, interrupted. "But I'll
bet I wind UP taking care OF
her."
Mrs. Cooper, who says she
hasn't been in an airplane
in years, has no regrets that
Gordon will be the next
American in orbit.
IT never believed In telling
Gordon what he could or
couldn't do" she said. "And
we all know he'll be in good
hands"
The astronaut's mother
marveled at the skill and
knowledge an astronaut
needs. But she firmly be-
lieves a Observation-Disclosures
power will ride with Gordon.
Whatever happens to US"
she said, "is all a part OF the
pattern Of our lives. I be-
lieve God has a pattern for
each Of U.S."
Mrs. Cooper is anxious for
her 36-year-old son to start
his flight. Naturally. I'm
nervous" she admitted, I'VE
all are. I think we all have
a basic fear Of the unknown"
To help overcome the
anxiety, she is scurrying
around to visit relatives and
longtime friends in Okla
homa. Her home Is in
Carbondale, Colo.
Getting Hattie Cooper to
talk about Hattie Cooper is
difficult.
She would rather talk
about Gordon. or her two
granddaughters, or her
hometown.
Her gray eyes sparkle as
she talks about her son, q
Marine major.
Several photographs Of
Gordon sit atop the mantle
and a bookcase in the living
room of Mrs. Herds modest
frame home.
Hes never had what you
would call q pretty face"
Mrs. Cooper said with a
smile. But there's a look
of determination about him"
Since he was a small boy,
she said, he has been curious.
Hes one Of the type who
wants to go a little faster
or a little higher"
Mrs. Cooper hasn't decided
where she'll be when Gordon
Is launched. But just in case,
she has had Mrs. Herds tele-
vision set serviced. "just to
be sure 1t won't quit"
To Chew Nails
How will she while away
the long hours Gordon will
be in orbit?

Discrimination

John w. Macy, chairman Of

says there is to be no such
thing as discrimination in re-
verse" in connection with the
commissions program to pro-
vide equal employment oppor-
tunity to all qualified citizens
Mr.. Macy told q district
meeting Of the international
Association Of Machinists yes
terday that the commission be-
lieves the Federal Government,
as the Nations largest en-
ployer. has an obligation to set
an example to other employers
in providing equality Of oppor-
tunity. He added:
To-day. under positive lead
ership and direction from
President Kennedy, we are TAX
ing strong and specific meas
ures to wipe out the last traces
Of discrimination"
These actions have led 10
protests from some Congress
men that the Post office De-
partment and other agencies
have Disseminated against
white applicants In order To
give Negroes better Jobs.
Mr.. Macy said these protests
indicated "a lack Of under
standing Of the purpose Of this
program. We are in no
sense violating the merit sys-
tenn. The actions we are taking
TO insure equality Of employ
ment opportunity are taken not
TO weaken the merit system but
TO perfect It.
There Is TO be no such thing
as discrimination in reverse
There has been no change In
the civil service rules and reg
uiations as @ result Of this
program, and rumors In news
stories to the contrary. there
win be no such change"

Is a pause Of about q month
during which both sides can
review their policy in the light
of the test ban agreement.
United States authorities are
uncertain why MIR. Khrushchev
wanted this breathing spell in
the East-West exchanges, al
though they welcome it. One
speculation is that he needs
time to assess the state Of his
conflict with Red China; an
other is that he wanted to be
sure that the United States
Senate will ratify the test ban
pact.

some Americans believe.
Gen. de Gaulle could grandly
ignore Mr.. Strikers figures and
present the alliance with the
problem Of getting along with
out France.
Or. perhaps, a number Of
countries could see the truth
as too discouraging, and the
alliance could sag. Even present

Space Talks Urged
At the United Nations In

reported to have proposed to
the Soviet Union that they re-
sumo talks soon on laws to
apply to the exploration Of
space:
At the moment, United States
officials are not sure either
what the cold war negotiations
will be about or what form
they viii take. They are con-
fident, however, that efforts
viii be made to follow up the
success In agreeing on O dmitet

So far two sets of problems
have been clearly defined as
being likely to figure In the
next round. Soviet Premier
Khrushchev has called repeat
edly for an East-West non-ag-
gression pact. President Ken
nedy and Mr.. Rusk have coun-
tered this with proposals that
the Soviet Union should agree
to measures for reducing the
possibility of conflict over Ber-
lin and for limiting the dam

plored and developed in Rus

to kill the bill by sending 1t
back to committee.
The vote on that one had
been a 47-45 victory for the
administration. After it was
over, Mr.. Kennedy's lieutenants
relaxed in the belief that the
opposition would subside and
the bill would be passed by q
greater margin.
But things didn't work out
that way.
When the roll call had been
completed the clerks errone-
ously toted up q 44-43 count
against the measure. This was
corrected to 44-44 when Sena-
tor Hart, Democrat Of Michi-
gan, protested that he had
voted.
Rounds Up Trio
Senator Dirksen sprang to
his feet, shouting for "the regu-
lar order" This rule. If en-
forced, would have required
Senator Brewster, Democrat OF
Maryland, presiding at the
time, to announce the measure
had been defeated.
Senator Humphrey, Democrat
Of Minnesota, was vigorously
signalling Senator Brewster to
hold off while the three miss
ing Senators could be rounded

Senator Dirksen sharply that
Senators had q right to vote,
and Senators Hill. Sparkman

Called Vital to NATo

American officials view the
Striker Plan, named after Dirk
u. Striker, secretary general Of
NATO, as being just as i'm
portant to the future Of NATO
as the whirlwind studies and
reforms by Secretary Of Defense
Mcnamara have been to the
Pentagon.
It all began more than e
year ago when Mr.. Mcnamara
plunged into NATo problems
and found evidence that the
troops, weapons, war plans and
budgets were out Of balance.
Worse, and more basic, ne
found that NATO civilian lead
ers had only vague and mac
curate information about the
troops, equipment and policies
of many member nations.
In Ottawa he sold the NATO
Council on a McNamara-style
study. Mr.. Strikers staff was
directed to dip deep into each
nations military secrets.
Systems Analysis" Plan
The staff will gather national
information on available forces,
calculate the ability Of the
forces to carry out existing
strategies, estimate the cost
and wartime effectiveness Of
the forces and plans and then
compare them with possible
alternative forces and plans.
They will search out their
own information about the
manning levels Of French mill
tary units. the experience and
training Of French officers and
noncoms. the readiness Of re-
serves, the state Of equipment
and mobilization plans.
Other countries are expected
to volunteer this information.
Much, Of course, is already
known, but the Striker staff
will insist on more details and
accuracy and will subject the
information TO modern Penta-
gon techniques Of systems
analysis"
II France says the Striker
facts about French forces are
wrong, France will be invited
TO correct them.
American officials are con-
WINGED that when all Of the
information has been analysed.

The sweeping re-examina-
ton Of NATO's troops and war
plans ordered this spring will
proceed despite French Presi-
dent de Gaulle's objections, al
lied leaders have decided.
If France chooses to hang
back, the so-called Striker Plan
will go ahead without her. In
fact, it already has been quiet
ly launched.
American officials still are
hopeful that Gen. de Gaulle can
be convinced that NATO lead
ers voted at Ottawa only for a
new inform q tion-gathering-
and-analyzing office, not for
new strategies.
French sources say, however,
that Gen de Gaulle believes the
whole thing is a backdoor eff
fort to impose supranational-
or American-defense policies
on France.
Specifically, he sees 1t as an
effort to kill the French nuclear
force, introduce a non-nuclear
defense Of Europe and increase
Frances defense budget.
The. other leading NATO
countries agree, though, that
the controversial studies can be
made without a contribution
from France.
