Those are the words of Dr. Paul Hensarli tg, Brazos
County March of Dimes Chairman, on the eve of tl e mothers’
march against crippling diseases. Those are the lords with
which he asks the citizens of Brazos County to contribute
and make the 1961 Mothers’ March On Crippling Diseases a
success. I 1 '
Goal for the final big event of the March of Dimes cam
paign is $8,000. That goal appears minute when you consider
that the City of College Station alone recently gave o\er
$15,000 to the United Chest. Not only that, it gives the
entire county an excellent opportunity to demonstrate civic
interest.
The only requirements are that the* porch lights be
turned on so that each street will be thoroughly lighted to
aid the marching mothers in their collection.

Dtan of 9tud«nU James P.
Hannigan, yesterday commended
these outstanding cadet officers
for their leadership during the
past semester:
Company F-l t Lynn A. MeKin-
nie; Company G-2, Bernard C.
Heer; Company P-2, Billy M. Me-
Cute hen; Company K. David C.
Coleman; Squadron 10, Douglas
F. Olbrich. The following it a
copy of the open letter sent to
each of these men.
“To the Cadet Officers:
“The strength report, dated
Jan. 14. 1961, indicates that yhur
unit is one of the five company
sited units in the Corps of Ca
det which has not lost a tingle
freshman from the College rolls
during this fell semester of 1960-
61. None of these units has had
more than two freshmen changed
from military to civilian student
status for physical or other rea
sons.
“This is a very enviable record
and I would like to officially pre
sent my compliments and the ap
preciation of the College staff to
you and your officers and non-
constrmsioned officers for a fine
m oomphshment Such results de
not just happen. They indicate a
mature approach to problems and
suttees in instilling ia the fresh-
meg e desire to grasp the educa
tional opportunities made avail
able to them here at AAM.
•HTte intelligent level-headed
exercise of command by cadet of
ficers and non-commissioned offi-
c«n is s beneficial training ex
perience for them and also for
the students under their com
mend. Some of the finest officers
in the Armed Forces of the Uni
ted States received their early
treining in this manner at AAM.
The very small minority who mis
use the military power given to
them and harass rather than as
sist those under their command
ala unlikely to develop good units
here or to become good leaden
“Again my congratulations to
you for your excellent work.

INTERPRETING
U. S. Completes Four Reaches Into Space
By J. M. ROBERTS
Associated Press News Analyst
The United States made four
semi-climatic reaches into space
this week—two in the field of di
rect defense, one defensive-of
fensive, and one primarily in the
field of science — which promise
nyw international political comp
lications.
The greatest excitement cen
tered around the chimpanxee
brought back from space, carry
ing a lively portent of man's abil
ity to go and come likewise, and
around the Minutcmae rocket,
portending the end of man's par
ticipation in strategic bombing.
Of greater political import,
however, was the suggestion by
the successful test of a Bomarc-B
intercepter missile that there is
a defense against .missile war
fare, a thought which weakens
fear of war, and of the Samos
“sky spy” designed to replace U2
in espionage.
Simian Ham suddenly becomes
an important figurt in the space
presitge race between the United
States and the Soviet Union.
Minuteman, with its solid fuel
and 6,000 mile range, it 4 major
step toward U. S. capability for
pushbutton yrar. It ia a mobile or
fixqd-position weapon, a thunder-
head for retaliation.
Bomarc-B is designed to insure
that there will be Umie for re
taliation, by knocking down ene
my missiles.
I Samos is designed to guard
against surprise attack, as were
the U2 and other‘m-onnaissam e
flights over the ! Soviet Union
which Were discontinued under
political pressure.
Samos seems likely to come un
der tremendous political pressure,
•alio. ,
1 There are no international de
cisions as to how high a nation's
sovereignty goes. When the Sa
mos family starts clicking the
photographic shutters over the
whole world, ever^ nation with
anything physical to hide will
start complaining.
President Eisenhower and more
lately President Kennedy have
both suggested negotiations, |
starting now, for international
control of space and international
cooperation in the scientific pen
etration of space. There has been
no encouragement from the Com-.
munist side.
But the U. S. deterrent is now
being increased, .powerfully and
corollary, tensions
increased.
When the treaty neutralising
Antarctica was signed, there were
mpidly. As a
also will be in
no great miliUry or economic po
tentials involved.
The military uses of space are,
however, frightening to think of.
The longer the race for superior
ity there goes on, the more dif
ficult will be agreements for con
trol.
By The Asaociated Prens
WASHINGTON — Two Demo
crats who have a record of voting
for most types of legislation that
President Kennedy favors were
tapped Wednesday for member
ship en the House Rules Commit
tee.
They are Reps. Carl Elliott of
Alabama and B. F. Sisk of Cali
fornia.
They would fill two of the
three new posts created in the key
committee under a resolution ap
proved by a narrow 217-212.
The Republicans will fill the
third place.
Administration forces hope that
by enlarging tha committee to 16
members, in place of the prev
(ous 12, they will be able to com
piand an 8-7 majority on most
bsues.
