Western Sources Say
Soviet's Next Target
Will Be the Moon
LONDON 14** — Some Western
scientific sources today saw the
Soviet Union’s next target as the
Moon as the world applauded Maj.
Gherman Titov’s epic space flight.
Kenneth Gatland, vice presi
dent of the British Interplanetary
Society, said he expected the Rus
sians to land a man on the Moon
between 1966 and 1967. He added
that they might put a dog in a
space ship and send it on a recon
naissance flight to the Moon.
“What is so interesting about
this latest Russian success is that
Vostok II (Titov’s space ship* had
enough air and food provisions in
it for a round-the-moon recon
naissance flight which would last
for about five to eight days," Gat
land said.
Titov was in orbit a little more
than a day.
In Paris, Secretary of State
Dean Rusk said: “I’m glad to
know that he (Titov) came back
alive. This is a fine ending.”
Foreign Secretary Lord Home
of Britain, also in Paris for the
Western Foreign Ministers’ meet
ing, remarked: “It is a great reali
zation, and am glad I was not up
in the vehicle with Titov.”
Mixed with the cheers were |
some voiced fears that the So- I
viet Union might use the rocket
as a military or political weapon.
The number of U. S. working
wives was hiked from 5 million
in 1940 to 13.6 million today. By
1970 the number will reach 20
million.

SATELLITE SCOREBOARD
WASHINGTON UP — Vostok II
was the 13th earth satellite suc
cessfully launched by the Soviet
Union and was her second man
ned spaceship.
The United States has sent up
45 unmanned satellites. Twenty

Two of the Soviet earth satel
lites are still aloft. So are two
Soviet satellites sent into orbit
around the sun.
SOUTH KOREAN NEWSPAPER
ATTACKS U.S. AID PROGRAM
SEOUL, Korea IjP — A leading
South Korean newspaper attacked
the U. S. aid program Saturday
and said: “We'd rather have a
$5,000 plant than $1 billion worth
of consumer goods.”
The Hankook Ilbo, one of
Seoul’s three major dailies, added
in an editorial: “What really mat
ters is the quality of the aid in
stead of the amount. If the U. S.
aid is going in the right direction
— to build economic stability —
i the amount does not matter.”
Ribicoff Tells Auto
Industry to Provide
Pollution Control Exhaust
WASHINGTON <£> — Secretary
of Welfare Abraham Ribicoff to
day served notice the automobile
industry must pledge by January
to provide blowby control devices
as standard equipment on 1964
cars or he will ask legislation to
require them.
Such devices reduce air pol
lution from exhaust fumes.
Ribicoff said he preferred that
the effort to help solve the air
pollution problem be carried out
voluntarily by the manufacturers
but he will move in January to
seek legislation if the industry
has not announced a voluntary
agreement.

his family.
RIVAL SHOPKEEPERS . . .
GRENOBLE, France UP* — Rival
shopkeepers with an eye on the
tourist trade are fighting mad
over Napoleon Bonaparte.
Tourist tracing the return of
Napoleon to Paris from exile on
Elba always passed the shops
of the nearby village of Pont
De-Claix, located on the “Route
Napoleon.”
When trade fell off recently,
shopkeepers found out why. Some
one had switched roadsigns at a
nearby junction to point Napoleon
buffs in the opposite direction —
right into the arms of the trades
men of Eybens.
Congress Okays

million more than President Ken
nedy asked.

Airplane Hijacking Would
Carry Mandatory Life
Imprisonment Sentence

ate Aviation Subcommittee today
approved unanimously a bill to
make airplane hijacking punish
able by mandatory life sentence

the subcommittee chairman, said
the group would seek a vote to
morrow by its parent body, the
Senate Commerce Committee.
Thought for Today . . .
A bore is a person who talks
when you wish him to listen.

Two U.S. Agents for
Subduing Hijackers
WASHINGTON UP — President
Kennedy commended two govern
ment agents for the part they
played in subduing two hijackers
of a Continental Airlines plane
in El Paso, Tex., Thursday.
Kennedy praised the “coura
geous and level-headed manner”
in which FBI agent Francis
Crosby and Border Patrolman
Leonard Gilman handled the hi
jacking “under the most difficult
circumstances.”
The two men disarmed and cap
tured Leon Bearden and his son
Cody aboard the plane after nine
hours of tension-filled dickering
and maneuvering.
Kennedy’s letters were sent to
FBI Director J. Edgar Hoover and
to Immigration Commissioner J.
M. Swing. He also commended the
FBI generally for its key role in
the capture.
Gilman, 43, got a grinning
blackslapping welcome from
Swing and fellow workers at
Immigration Headquarters.
He couldn’t shake hands. His
right hand was in a cast because
a bone was broken by the blow
he landed on the elder Bearden
to end the hijack attempt.
When a reporter asked whether
he had come to Washington to get
a medal, Gilman smiled and re
plied “you don’t give people a
medal for doing their job.” He
came only to give a complete re
port of the incident to Swing,
Gilman said.
Swing said he was extremely
proud “of the demonstration by
one of my young officers not
only for the bravery shown but
more particularly the calmness
and judgment” in handling Beard
en and his son, who otherwise,
Swing said, “would probably have
used weapons at hand without
I any regard for human life at all.”
