Capsule Recovery Hailed Milestone

WASHINGTON (UPDThe Air Force said today its histosac recovery of the Discoverer XIII capsule brought the United States “considerably closer” to its goal of rocketing manned vehicles into space. Lt. Gen. Bernard A. Schriever told a news conference the Air Force planned to follow up its achievement by trying to launch and recover a similar object with a chimpanzee aboard, possibly within a month. Schriever, head of the Air Force Aij —Research and Development Command, said there would be a 50-50 chance of recovery of similar capsules in future tests. « The 85-pound. silver-coated capsule was fished out of the Pacific Thursday about 300 miles northwest of Hawaii oy a Navy heli-

It had orbited the earth 17 | times in the Discoverer satellite. “Significant Milestone” Schriever termed the feat “a significant milestone in the space age.” “The techniques of recovery plus the life specimens will bring ' us definitely closer to success in I 'the man-in-space program," he 1 1 said. !| He also said the capsule, first | man-made object recovered from ;an orbiting satellite, also provided ' | important data recorded by its inThe capsule itself weighed 85 pounds. Its retro-rocket and equipment for keeping it afloat and guiding searchers weighed 215 pounds. So the total weight of the package brought back from space was 300 pounds. i Schriever said the Air Force j I has been preparing a “small 1 , chimpanzee" as a passenger on ' one of the ftuSurc shots in the Discoverer series. He said the “chimp shot” probably would follow one more nonlife shot which is scheduled in about one week. Schriever said the Air Force planned two shots per month if conditions permit. The Air Force research chief emphasized that recovery was “still a real tough problem,” but said that he felt the present success would lead to a higher rate of recovery. Expects Much Data E. A. Miller, manager of the Discoverer program for the General Electric Co., said the capsule's instruments monitored “all of the significant events of the rocket’s stages.” He pointed out this would provide a record for the first time of an object's re-entry into the earths atmosphere. Miller also said the instruments gathered data on temperature, pressure and deceleration problems that must be solved before i the nation can put a man into I space. I “This is all significant technical information,” he said. “We expect to get quite a kt of data for the first time.” Nickel Plate Vets Attend Convention Two Nickel Plate railroad veterans from Decatur twill leave Saturday at 6 a.m. ’for Cedar Point. 0., to attend the 53rd anniversary convention of the Veteran’s association of the railroad, which is for any man or woman who has worked for the Nickel Plate 25 years or more.

KENNEDY > li (Contirm&i from page 1) i “Franklin D. Roosevelt was a Phi Betta Kappa, the highest gen- , eral scholastic honor granted, yet , Sen. Kennedy’s achievement was . even higher than this. Never has so brilliant a man been nominal- ( ed for our highest office. Religious Issue “Yet there may be those who say, yes, this is fine, but maybe we should not let a Catholic serve as president. “Let me touch briefly on the religious issue. When the 55 men who wrote the constitution of the United States met, they included Episcopate, Catholics, Congregationists, Presbyterians, those with no chureh, and many others. “And the constitution which they formed, and which still stands inviolate today, plainly says, in Article 6, that “ ’. . . but no religious test shall EVER be required as-a qualification for any office of public trust or profit in the United States.’ Washington On Bigotry “When George Washington, to- 1 wards the end of his great patriotic career, spoke at the First Baptist church in Philadelphia, he said, “ ‘We have abundant reason to rejoice, that in this land, the light of truth and reason has triumphed over the power of BIGOTRY and SUPERSTITION, and that EVERY person here may worship God according to the dictates of his own heart. In this enlightened' age, and in this land of equal liberty, it is our boast, that a man’s religious tenets will not forfeit i the protection of the laws, nor - deprive him of the right of at- > taining and holding the highest j offices that are known in the Unit-1 ed States.” My Grandsons ■ “I myself was born and reared ■ a Baptist, but I married a Methodist, and we compromised and | joined the Presbyterian church, in . which I have been quite active. ; In 1842 my grandmother left Ire-1 land during the great potato fa- j mine that took one-third of the | inhabitants of that country, and I have had the pleasure of seeing her signature on the registry of St Paul's Cathedral in Court, Ireland. My grandfather was an Episcopal from London. “Today I have three grandsons, all in their early 'teens. One js, like myself, a Presbyterian; the second is a “German Lutheran; and the third is a Roman CathOllC. J TT- . “As any grandfather* I love all my grandchildren equally Is it to be expected of me that I say to two of them, yes, work hard, you can attain any goal you set for yourself, yea, even president of the United States—and to the third say, no, my grandson, you can work just, as hard, learn just as much, mean just as much to me. yet you dan never be president? “No ladies and gentlemen. I say to you, and I hope you will tell every friend, that it is the ablity, intelligence, and capability of a president, not his smile, his golf game, his religion, or other -nongovernmental characteristic, that should determine our choice of president in this crucial year.”
