Echo Satellite Will Be
Seen November to January
WASHINGTON, MV-The Echo
satellite will be back in full sun
light and visible on all its night
time passes about the earth from
mid-November to early January.
However, the National Aero
nautics and Space Administration
said Friday, Echo will be making
most of its nighttime passes in the
southern hemisphere for the next
few months. It will be seen in
the northern hemisphere only oc
j casionally.
At present the satellite is in
the earth’s shadow for about 22
minute during each orbit. This
period of darkness will increase
until Nov. 1, then rapidly decrease
until mid-November, when it will
be in full sunlight for 50 days.
The 100-foot balloon sphere had
completed 513 trips around the
earth by Friday, traveling more
than 14 million miles.
U.S. Contributes $5 Million

UNITED NATIONS, N.Y., Gf)—

$5 million contribution to Secre
tary-General Dag Hammarskjold’s
special emergency fund for the
Congo. Secretary of State Chris
tian Herter told Hammarskjold
this was an advance on the final
amount the United States would
contribute to the proposed $100
million fund.
Let Punishment Fit the Offense
MIAMI, Fla., GT) — Sixty-three
rain-sodden motorists went home
scot free Friday when a judge,
crowded out of his courtroom in
a schedule mixup, summarily dis
missed all traffic cases.
Judge Lloyd Marks explained,
“I just thought the people had
had enough punishment getting
here, without being jammed into
a little room and made to wait.”
More than nine inches of rain
fell hereabouts.
K‘s UJN. Speech
Was Full Of
| Contradictions
By J. M. ROBERTS
Associated Press News Analyst
Soviet Premier Khrushchev
showed clearly Friday that he
knows how to end the cold war
if he wished, and then proposed
to draw a new and bitter line of
demarcation which would inten
sify it in the United Nations.
At one point in his speech he
held up the master key to the
whole world situation:
“We do not wish to foist our
system on other countries,” he
said, a contradiction of everything
for which international Commun
ism stands, a contradiction of
what he himself has said repeat
edly. It would have been a world
shattering statement—if he hadn’t
made it so many times before, and
if anybody could believe it in the
face of what he has just been up
to in the Congo.
Before the cold war can end,
it will have to be said by some
one who means it and moreover,
someone with the power to make
it stick, which Khrushchev has
not, either in Moscow or Peiping.
Khrushchev cited the need for
independence of all nations—in a
cynical effort to retrieve the So
viet prestige lost in the Congo
affair—but didn’t offer it to the
European captive states.
There were numerous other
passages which sounded high
minded and conciliatory.
Then he got around to the pique
the Soviet Union has displayed so
clearly over the U.N. intervention
in the Congo, which undercut her
plainly revealed effort to add an
other country to the captive list
and extend the cold war to Af
rica.
Eliminate the hecretary-Lrener
al’s office in the U. N., he said,
and administer the work of the
organization by committee — a
committee with strictly drawn
lines between Communists, the
nations aligned with the West, and
the neutrals.
Khrushchev has a right to like
te committee system of adminis
tration. He used it well for his
own personal aggrandizement in
the USSR after Joseph Stalin’s
death, and now it doesn’t exist
there any more than in other
places where it has been tried.
Khrushchev knows that this ef
fort to draw fighting lines in the
U.N. will not be taken seriously.
But he had two motives. By mak
ing it he struck at Secretary-Gen
eral Dag Hammarskjold, who has
just received overwhelming small
nation support for his interpreta
tion of Security Council instruc
tion regarding the Congo. Then
he smoothed down the small
nation feathers by proposing to
give them ostensible recogniton as
a force equal to the two major
contending forces.
Some of the small nations may
fall for this pretense of adding
to the importance which they ex
pect to assume anyway through
their increased numbers in the
General Assembly.
But the odds are that, in the
competition between President
Eisenhower and Khrushchev for
small nation good will at the out
set of this Assembly, the Presi
dent’s list of achievable objec
tives is way ahead.
Attorney For the Defense
DAYTONA BEACH, Fla., UFi —
Wilmer Thomas almost had Jus
tice of the Peace Dan Warren con
vinced Friday that he was inno
cent of a charge of stealing nine
sections of pipe.
‘’I’d like to ask the complain
ant one more question,” Thomas
told the practically convinced
judge.
“How can you say you could
identify me,” Thomas asked, “at
9 at night, with my back turned
to you and that light post 25 feet
■ away?”
Said the judge: “Thirty days!”

Never Underestimate The
Power of Advertising
CHICAGO, UP>—A doctor said
today at least 100 million Ameri
cans are addicted to laxatives
they don’t need.
Dr. Charles W. Hook of Aug
usta, Ga., writing in the current
issue of Today’s Health magazine,
said superstition and advertising
have brainwashed the public in
to believing regularity is neces
sary for good health.
“Your doctor knows nothing
could be further from the truth,”
Hook said. The idea of regularity
is based, Hook reported, on old
fashioned habits, half-truths, in
correct beliefs and modern ad
vertising.
