MISSILE GAP (Continued from Page 1) years ago was always a fiction, and the ‘missile gap’ shows every sign of being the same.” But Kemveedy did not retreat a bit from the warning he issued in his State of the Union message a fortnight ago—that each .day brings the country “nearer the hour of maximum danger. . .The tide of events has been running out, and time has not been our friend.” A reporter invited comment on Republican charges that Kennedy has been putting pressure behind his program by painting the pic ture blacker than it really is “for shock purposes.” Kennedy replied gravely: “I sincerely believe what I said . . .1 believe that the next four years will be years in which this country and its capacity to meet its position and security will be strongly tested. “I think that anyone who looks at the globe and looks at the in creasing power of the Communist bloc, the belligerency which marks the bloc—particularly the Chinese Communists—I would say would come to the conclusion that we are to be severely tested in the next four years.” Kennedy said'he had talked with McNamara and other defense of- f ficials on the missile gap com', versy. He quoted McNamara,' telling him that “no study,i- been concluded in the Defense I) ^ partment which would lead to ^ conclusion at this time as toil ther ther e is a missile gap 01’%, A preliminary study may tp j completed by Feb. 20, Kffiif Con added.

His grimaces, flashing eyes and teeth-baring scowls outdid some of the most flamboyant stars of the silent movie days as he por trayed the role of the intrepid ex plorer venturing into the unknown. Much of the half hour film was taken by a camera fixed in the capsule that carried Ham 155 miles high and dumped him in the At lantic Ocean 420 miles from Cape Canaveral, Fla. It was given its first public showing Wednesday before the House Space Committee. The picture was all in closeups and the rubbery-faced little ape made the most of it. His wild-eyed glances over his shoulder as the Redstone rocket shot him along at 5,000 m.p.h. were more expressive than those of any terrified maiden fleeing for a Hollywood villain. And no actor has ever shown angry frustration more clearly than did Ham When a booster rocket suddenly slammed him back against his couch with 17 times the force of gravity. He bared his teeth with the ferocity of Boris Karloff but his eyes remained pure Charlie Chaplin. Acting aside, Ham’s perform ance delighted the producers of the movie—the National Aero nautics and Space Administration, ■which hopes some day to turn out a sequel starring a human being. George Low, technical director of the man in space project, who narrated the movie, said Ham per formed flawlessly, pulling levers in response to flashing lights dur ing all stages of the flight—even the 6% minutes he spent in a weightless state. Ham was obviously pleased him- WELL MEN, HERE IT IS FINAL CLEARANCE AT THE A&M MEN’S SHOP 103 Main North Gate Located Between Zubik’s and Dobyne Jewelers AS MUCH AS 40% OFF DRESS PANTS REG. $15.95 NOW $9.55 DRESS PANTS REG. $11.95 NOW $7.15 DRESS PANTS REG. $ 8.95 NOW $5.35 DRESS PANTS REG. $ 7.95 NOW $4.75 Jackets Reg. $15.95 Now —$9.55 Sweaters Reg. $15.95 to $8.95 Now 33y3% Off Car Coats Reg $19.95 Now —$11.95 Sport Coats Reg. $39.95 Now —$23.95 VAN HEUSEN, AUTHENTIC, IVY LEAGUE Sport Shirts Reg. $5.95 Now — $3.95 Sport Shirts Reg. $5.00 Now — $3.30 Sport Shirts Reg. $3.95 Now — $2.65 VAN HEUSEN Dress Shirts Reg. $5.00 Now 10% Off Corduroy Suits Reg. $29.95 Now — $18.95 Suits Reg. $69.95 Now — $45.95 DON’T MISS OUT, COME ON OVER AND SEE WHAT WE HAVE TO OFFER. self.
