Sincerely William a Balsley chairman it should be on providing jobs space age report a chaplain in space Many accept the responsibility _ i editor for putting his talents and his last week people were Prais personal wealth to work for ing the late Richard k. Mellon the Benefit of every person in his Community. You somehow got the feeling that it could not happen often again in Pitts Burgh or anywhere that someone would Combine his talents and personal wealth and devote them to a whole Community. John b. Shallenberge of Connellsville said to an adult sunday school class some time ago that it is a disgrace to die and he expressed the feeling of responsibility of hundreds of people of wealth to share what they have either wealth or Talent or both with their fellow men. You can see that happening As it did with or. Mellon in Pittsburgh Here in Connellsville or Perryopolis in Scottdale and in Many other cities right Here and now.

Smith circulation manager a phia mechanical superintendent Eji Jitni by United frees into National Bureau of advertising i by Frank Macomber military aerospace writer Copley news service written for the daily courier the influence of or Wernher von Braun already is beginning to be Felt in the Federal space Agency s blueprint of the future. Only a few months after he took Over As chief of the Agency s future planning division von Braun and his aides Are talking about what they would like to design and build for the late 1980s a 100 Man Earth orbiting space station for missions up to 180 Days. This kind of thinking takes considerable courage at a time when new far out space projects Are getting sidelong glances from some members of Congress and will be shoved to the Back Burner if space program critics have their Way. A three Man orbiting space station is probable by 1972 or 1973 because most of the hard Ware for such a vehicle Aheady is on the shelf. But a 12-Man station by the late 1970s still is Only a possibility it could go either Way yes or no depending on world and Domestic conditions a year or two from now and the resulting mood of Congress. Von Braun and his colleagues however Are Penc Iling in the 100-Man station in the future column on the Assumption that the 12-Man spaceship will be funded in time for service late in this decade National aeronautics and space administration chief or. Thomas 0. Paine has the project under study. Documents detailing the technical skills and Job categories for a 100-Man space Crew read like a census taker s tabulation Sheet. First there is the typical spacecraft Crew trained in engineering physics astronomy meteorology Medicine and other sciences. Then the planners have writ ten in a whole new Crew personnel to handle Supply and support functions of such a huge space base. These include mess attend ants storekeepers Cooks welders maintenance engineers a Barber and of course the janitor. One option even has a journalist photographer just in Case some newsman wants to go along. A chaplain would be a Mem Ber of the Crew to hold weekly n o n denominational services. And there would be a psychiatrist in addition to a doctor to Monitor the Crew s mental health. The planning document is based on a projected 180-Day space Mission with each crewman working eight hours a Day six Days a week. On weekends the crewmen would have one off duty Day either saturday or sunday for rest grab bag by Frank Watson the answer Quick 1. What is meant by the decalogue 2.

A pref get psychological test period would be required to establish Crew social and work patterns for the selection of Crew quarters and team in simpler language this Means the Agency wants no feuding and fussing among Crew once the station is space borne the 100-Man station study stresses that Matching of Crew personnel on the basis of psychological compatibility is an important Factor in Mission Success a typical workday in a 100 Man spaceship according to the study is reflected in the duties of the Deputy space Craft commander. He would spend two hours at the command Center control console As navigator an hour reviewing the operations log and schedule two hours evaluating the Crew and spacecraft performance an hour inspecting and two hours making flight decisions. The space Agency even in the face of its lowest annual budget m seven years is dead serious about its skylab series of manned Earth orbiting space stations. This month at Huntsville ala., Headquarters for the Marshall space flight Center the Agency is unveiling new details of the future program and Calls the briefing skylab and von Braun is expected to be on hand in his new role As the Agency s chief future planner.

Smith observed on the 20th anniversary of her historic Senate speech Are intimidated and made mute emotional violence on the extreme of compassion that violence in her View -1 is aimed at silencing debate but instead is forcing the nation into an agonizing Choice Between an Archy and authoritarianism a struggle in which even legitimate dissent might be strangled. The senator is not indulging in Nightmare fantasies in her familiar role of Cassandra for the Over permissiveness generated by the anti Mccarthy reaction has already unleashed different but no less deadly furies in our land. If americans must choose Between destruction and harsh measures to keep their nation from being destroyed there is no doubt what the decision of the overwhelming majority will be. Even so.

The Defiance by North Viet Nam of International conventions on the treatment of prisoners of War is Well known.

Some Are known to be prisoners of the Viet Cong or of cambodians Loyal to deposed Prince Sihanouk the Fate of others is still undetermined. The noncombatant status of newsmen has been respected More often than not during the years of fighting in South Vietnam. Only 10 have gone on the missing list throughout the Vietnam War. Many have fallen into communist hands and then been released. The attitude of the communists in Cambodia toward the for eign newsmen is not puzzling. It jul ave Bijj j.

No civil right of any american will suffer because of enforcement of statutes against assault sabotage riots and Mur Der. Freedom of speech debate and dissent far from being the inno cent victims of the suppression of violence will in fact be protected by it. This nation can survive whatever honest doubts it May Harbor about its future course just As it has weathered crises in the past if the debate Over that course and humanity and the same disregard for International opinion that communists exhibit toward sick and wounded prisoners of War. The captured newsmen do not include Only americans. Also miss ing Are French japanese and Ger Man newsmen. Some countries May find it harder to maintain their Neutral stance toward the War in indo China when the communists refuse to respect even the noncombatant status of newsmen sent there to report facts not to fight.
