Space Exploration Continues To Be One-Way Street: Columnist White Says

MOST AMERICANS consider the Soviet launching of an unmanned moon probe ahead of us a shoddy and unnecessary trick. Co-operation with Russia in space exploration continues to be a ona-way street. The Soviet Union last year purchased 3. ICO moon ’pictures from the National and Space Administration (NASA*. V The pictures, better than any the Russians were <• able to take with their unmanned lunar probos, will be used to pick sites for landings and to select possible locations for permanent - manned lunar bases. Compare our widespread publicity and disclosure of findings on space with the heavy veil of secrecy over Soviet activities. The Luna -15 unmanned moon launch was on an undisclosed mission just in advance of our Apollo II flight, one of the widest “covered” news events in history. HAVE YOU taken your vaca•tion this year? the Hoosier Day •would like to pass on some hints for advance planning from various sources. The American Automobile Association recently issued a suggested vacation budget for two persons traveling by car. A couple should allow sl4 per day for meals and snacks, sl4 per day for lodging $3 per day for tips and miscellaneous, and $8.50 for gas and oil for every 300 miles driven, averaged at 14 miles to the gallon. Other expenditures vary depending on personal preferences and the region traveled, with added cost for souvenirs, amusements, admissions and turnpike tolls. It is wise to budget for emergencies. Plan in advance, and call ahead for reservations. Don’t try to cover too much in one day, and make frequent rest stops. With burglaries of homes on the ■ increase. simple precautions should be taken to Minimize the risk while you are away. Police suggest these tips: ' Stop all regular deliveries such as milk and newspapers, so they will not advertise your absence. Arrange with a neighbor or the post office to hold your mail. Do not leave shades or draperies tightly closed. An automatic timer is a cheap investment to light a lamp or two at dusk, turn off at bedtime, and give a “lived-in” appearance. Do not leave valuables inside. Many banks make special rates on vacation rental of a safety deposit box. Arrange to have the grass cut if you are gone long enough to make it appear uncared for. Leave a key, and your proposed itinerary with expected stops and destinations with a friend or neighbor for use in an emergency. Make a check to see that the doors and windows are securely locked, stove and appliances are turned cff, and that no wafer is running. » Notify police when you will leave and plan to return. Check to avoid anything that will make it appear to a burglar that you are not at home. While on the subject of driving the Indiana Safety Council lists six deadly violations. They are: Refusal to give right of Way Tainting (following too close Violating maximum speed limits. Driving too fast for road and weather ’conditions. Driving on the wrong side of the road. Ignoring a stop sign or signal. In keeping with the highway safety theme, we commend Governor Whitcomb for his decision to permit State Police Superintendent Robert Konkle to withdraw the moratorium on enforcement of the slow moving vehicle emblem statute. The law, enacted in 1967, required a reflective orange and red colored triangle to be displayed on the rear of any vehicle that ordinarily travels less than 25 miles per hour on public highways. Two or three southern Indiana Amish leaders objected and in October 1968. Governor Branigin ordered State Police to suspend 5 enforcement. The law was geared to cut dowii on the danger presented by the use of public highways by farm tractors and other types of farm equip-. ment, but extended to animaldrawn vehicles. Safety organizations joined with law enforcement organizations appealing for enforcement of the law. We glibly talk of the Federal budget in billions of dollars. Have you ever stopped to consider what is a billion dollars? Kirby Whyte, banker, has tried to make it plain. He said: “Let’s say you stand in the center of town handing out money to pas-sers-by at the rate of S2O a minute for 12 hours a day. Since the

work is hard,we’ll give ;ou a ten-minute break every hour. Could you give away a oillion dollars?” Well ... 20 dollars to a minute with a 10 minute break per hour means you can get rid of a thousand dollars an hour. 12,000 a day (for a 12 hour working day). In a year you’ll have given away $4,380,000. Hmm, not very good work. Let’s get rid of a billion dollars at the rate of S2O t minute. It would take 299 years.”
