Johnson predicted last night that “most of us” will live to see space ships. The Senate majority leader, at a dinner in his honor, said: “Rockets to the moon are just over the horizon. Space ships are only a few years away and most of us will live to see them. “The scientists are already talk ing—in serious terms—about the day when we will escape the solar system and explore the universe.” Over 1,300 Texans attended the $7.50 a plate testimonial dinner aiTanged by Houston area busi nessmen and industrialists. Among those paying tribute to the Senate majority leader were House Speak er Sam Rayburn and Texas Gov- emor Price Daniel. Johnson attended a White House conference Tuesday with the top legislative and governmental lead ers in Washington. He said the conference dealt with “the very real perils that face our country.” These resulted, he said, from “startling scientific achievements made by the Soviets in the past few years.” “No sane man can underrate those achievements,” Johnson continued. “The United States has been out stripped in a field where we thought we were supreme.” “Already there are satellites in the skies held to this earth only by a thin, invisible thread of gravi ty,” he said. “A little extra burst of speed and that thread snaps. “That day—which is not very far—is the beginning of the race for outer space.” Selected Students To Tour Europe Two groups of 20 selected American college students will visit Berlin and Grenoble, France, next summer to study the lang uage, culture, art and civilization of Germany or France during a six-week stay.
