Space Success

The Russians could produce
some spectacular space shots
this year, Vice President J6hn-

United States may be near a
decisive success" in the space
race.
Speaking at the, Goddard
Memorial Dinner at the shera-

should be stimulated rather
than discouraged by Soviet
accomplishments.
Mr.. johnson said "of3 our

try would preserve the pealms
of space for the peaceful -bene-

Vice President Johnson gave
this rundown on comparative
American and Russian accom-
plishments:
Rocket power I'VE have
under developments much more
powerful rockets than the So
VETS now have in operation.
But we must assume that the
Soviets are likewise working to
improve the power Of their
own rockets"
Successes-With 100 by the
end Of 1862 I'VE have put about
four times as many payloads
into earth orbit as have the
Soviets. But at the same time
the smaller number of Soviet
payloads have weighed sub
stantially more"
Increased Reliability
Failures-"we can say with
reasonable assurance that the
Soviets have had a ratio of
successes to failures comparable
to our own. But the basic fact
is that in both nations the
reliability of launching vehicles
has shown a remarkable and
comparable increase" -A
Manned flights Certainly
the USSR is ahead in the to-
tai knowledge obtained from
manned space flight"

years dual near-rendezyous
launch by the Soviets is the
outstanding single accomplish
ment by either nation. thus

Mr.. Kennedy said the tide
Of manpower" could prove a
burden or a blessing. He said
the source of the tide lies in
these three areas:
Agriculture: In the last two
years farm employment dropped
by 100000 while farm produc-
ton and income increased.
Since 1947. farm output has
increased by more than 3 per
cent while farm manpowerI
needs dropped nearly so per
cent. Mr.. Kennedy estimated
that mot more than one of
every 10 boys now living on the
farm will find full-time work
in agriculture"
Youth: The postwar baby
crop lis about to engulf the
labor force" In 1862 the num-
Der of Americans reaching IS
was 2.8 million. In 1868 this
will increase to 3.8 million.
During the 1905 the labor
market must absorb 26 million
new workers 40 per cent more
than during the previous 10
years.
Wants Spiral Reversed
Attenuation: Since world
War II, output has risen 81
per cent while manpower needs
have risen only 3 per cent. Dur
ing the last six years, manu-
featuring production rose by
nearly 20 per cent while the
number of production workers
dropped by 10000.

Nog threw back his head
