| Von Braun Warns
Moon Shots More
Than ‘Silly Race’
By FRANK CAREY
WASHINGTON, if) — Wernher ;
von Braun said yesterday that un- |
less America steps up its pace in j
the space race “I suspect we will j
have to pass Russian customs j
j when we finally reach the moon, j
J Von Braun, chief scientist at j
J the Army’s Ballistic Missile Agen
cy at Huntsville, Ala., predicted
further: “We may expect to hear
a Russian accented voice coming
from an artificial inhabited satel
lite roaming our American skies.”
“I d not believe that the Amer
ican people will accept second j
place. Yet it is painfully clear j
that we are behind. It is just as |
clear that the other fellow is j
building up a momentum that will
enable him to carry out even more
astonishing experiments shortly,”
he said.
Von Braun said he is convinced
that “It would definitely speed
up our national space program if
we could have a little more pro
gram stability and confidence in
our proved rocket teams, and a
little less official re-evaluations
and rejustifications.”
“As a nation,” he said, “we are
also making a fundamental mis
take if we consider this space
business as nothing but an exciting
if silly race between rival missile
teams or a weightlifting contest
between rocket engineers and
scientists.
“The Communist challenge goes
far beyond that. It extends across
the entire spectrum of human ac
tivities. It challenges you and
every other American.”
“It has become a contest be
tween free men and a seciety
that accepts state control over
every thought, word and deed.
Having survived that kind of en
vironment as a scientist working
under the Nazis during World War
II. I don’t want my children or
yours to endure it,” he said.

Poor Widow Takes
Lives of 5 Children
In Suicide Attempt
ALLENTOWN, Pa., OP — The
despondent and bitter widow of
a Peruvian diplomat admitted to
police Monday night that she
killed her five children by giving
them a potent concoction of 74
sleeping tablets, sugar and orange
juice under the pretense it was
a cough medicine.
“The only regret I have is that
I didn’t die,” 41-year-old Ruth
Mae Urdanivia told authorities.
She also drank some of the mix
ture, cut her wrists and turned on
gas jets in efforts to take her
own life.
“They’re better off now with
their father,” Mrs. Urdanivia
added. “They won’t have to live
in a pig sty or eat inferior food.
I’m tired, tired, tired of begging. .
No one helps a widow.”
In a statement to Lehigh Coun
ty District Attorney Paul A. Mc
Ginley, the slender, light brown
haired widow said she had been
planning to kill the children and
herself ever since her husband,
Jose, 41, died of a heart attack
two years ago in San Francisco
while en route to a diplomatic
mission in Tokyo.
“I just couldn’t make ends
meet, Mrs Urdanivia told Mc
Ginley in unfolding the bizarre
tale which finally reached its cli
max last Wednesday.
On that morning, Mrs. Urdani
via related, she went to the home
of her brother, William Straw
bridge, and picked up two of her
children, Luis, 9, and Carol
Miriam, 4. They had ben staying
with their uncle and aunt since
last Christmas.
That night, about 9:30, Mrs. Ur
danivia continued, she took 100
sleeping tablets and mixed them
with sugar and water. She told
Luis, Miriam and the other chil
dren, Christine, 12, Ruth Lucille,
10, and Anna Marie, 7, to take
them for their coughs.
Aware that all of the children
were dead, Mrs. *Ur:!anivia said
she then broke a drinking glass
and cut her wrists in an effort
to end her own life. She slept
until Monday.
When this was unsuccessful,
she turned on gas jets. Later,
realizing the gas might harm other
occupants of the apartment in
which she lived, she turned the
jets off, then collapsed
