Johnson Sees
Sp aee Travel
In Near Future
HOUSTON, hP)_Sen. Lyn
don B. 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.”

“We had xxxixed together carbon,
potassium chlorate and sulphur and
placed it inside this one-foot long
piece of pipe. The ends wei'e cap
ped with a hole in one end.
“We had twine tied to the rocket,
which was on a roller skate, and
had planned to hold it back with
the twine.
Whitfill said 14 members of the
chemistry class were gathered

grounds when he struck a match
to the opening at one end of the
rocket and the match went out.
