The Nations space program
is not likely to undergo much
change under President Lyn-
don B. Johnson, either in scope
or in the vigor with which it IS
pushed.
The reasons are twofold and
simple.
First. Mr.. johnson is fully as
enthusiastic about the space.
program as was Mr.. Kennedy.
If not more so. Second, the new
President has been in on the
space program from its start,
and through the "a months Of
President Kennedys tenure
was Mr.. Space"
President johnson was head
Of a Preparedness subcommit-
tee in the Senate at the time
the Russians orbited Sputnik
six years ago.
Using the tremendous pres
tige Of his position as Senate
Majority Leader, he launched
an inquiry into the Nation s
space posture. and subsequent
ly brought about organization Of
a special Senate committe e
which grew into the present
standing committee on aero
nautical and space sciences.
AS long as he was in the
Senate, Mr.. johnson - along
with his fellow Southwesterner,
the late Senator Robert S. Kerr
Of Oklahoma-kept an eagle
eye on the space effort. The
No. Democrat in the closing
years of the Republican ad-
ministration, he was continu-
ally pushing President Eisen-
hover for more ambitious
undertakings in what he clearly
regarded as a headlong race
with the Russians.
More than any other man
President johnson Is personally
responsible for the National
Aeronautics and Space Act OF
1853 and the sprawling agency
which it created. A draft ver-
sion of the space bill, prepared
downtown, was ripped apart
and rewritten by Mr.. Johnson
and the then House Majority
Leader (now Speaker, Johr
ack, behind closed
doors on Capitol Hill in the
summer Of 1858.
Having written the bill, thu

for signature. The then Presi
dent, never much Of a spacl
enthusiast, insisted upon {

space for peaceful purposes 70

That was about the onl

The new President planned
to take time out from the task
of meeting his awesome re-
sponsibilities to attend IL am.
services at st. Marks Episcopal
church.
Then, at 1910 pm, he
planned to drive to the Exec
utive Mansion to ride behind
a horse-drawn caisson carrying
Mr.. Kennedy's body to the
Capitol, where it will lie in
state later today.
Pays Respects at Bier
AS President Kennedy's body

Mr.. johnson left his office
about II am. to join with his

Where there is any squeak
ing or buckling, drive in two
inch finishing nails, about an
inch and a half apart and
slanted toward each other at
the tips. Threaded nails have
extra holding power.
In using the machine, start
with a coarse sandpaper,
then a medium and then a
fine. Always be sure the ma
chine is in motion before the
drum is lowered to the floor.
And always raise the drum
before stopping the machine.
The sander should never be
kept in one spot while the
motor is on.
Getting Edges
The edger will sand most
areas which the large ma
chine can not reach, but
sometimes even the edger will
not get properly into cor
ners. In that case, it will be
necessary to take off the old
finish in corners with a var
nish remover and a putty
knife. Follow directions on
how long to allow the remov-
er to stand before Scraping.
You can use any one of
many floor finishes, depend
ing on what kind of appear
ance is sought. If you like a
gloss. the choice usually is
between varnish and shellac.
A low sheen finish that
has become fairly popular in
recent years is penetrating
sealer. Instead of leaving a
hard. glossy finish. the pene-
trating type, as the name
implies, sinks into the wood.
1t can be applied with a
brush. mop or cloth and must
be wiped off In about is
minutes to prevent sticki-
ness. But here again, closely
follow the instructions that
come with the particular
brand Of penetrating finish
you select.
