losses.

may be made at the IATA Traffic
Conference which begins at Chand
ler, Ariz., Sept. 24.

JKF Intends to
, Reserve Spare for !
! Peaceful Purposes
i WASHINGTON oT — President
■ Kennedy has returned from a two
day tour of major space install:)- ;
tions, determined the United States
i will be first in space and have a
> man on the moon by 15)70.
The President also made clear
■ during the exhaustive inspection
' tour ending late Wednesday at the j
McDonnell Aircraft plant in St.
Louis, that he intends to press his
i challenge to Russia to reserve
' outer space for peaceful purposes.
S At the plant Kennedy got a j
• close-up view of the work being
t done on Gemini spacecraft de- |
signed to orbit two men up to two
' weeks in space in another year or
I so.
1 Possibly the highlight of the trip
1 came earlier in the day at Hous
: ton where five of the seven astro
nauts, along with scientists, brief
' cd him on the spaceships designed
. to take an American to the moon ;
i and back. He chose the city, site j
■ of the manned spacecraft center, |
i for his only formal speech.
; Speaking to 50,000 people under 1
■ a boiling sun in Rice University '
• Stadium, the President declared:
"The eyes of the world and its
• restless millions now look up and
• out to space, to the moon and the
l planets beyond. And we have
; vowed that they shall not see it
• governed by a hostile flag of con
: quest, but a banner of peace.”
The purpose of Kennedy’s sur
vey was to familiarize himself
with operations in the space pro
1 gram and to gather fundamental
- information in advance of prepar
- ing his space budget proposal for
- 1963-64. He has said that space ex
^ penditures are bound to rise above
- the current budget of $5.4 billion.

Sen. Goldwater Says
Blockade Is Next Step
For Cuban Situation
RICHMOND, Va. (/Pi — Son
Barry Goldwater, (R-Arizd, said
yesterday a selective blockade by
'be United States and friendly
I.atin-Ameriean countries shouki Lx
the next step in the Cuban situa
t ton.
Geldwater's comment on block
ing any foreign ships carrying So
viet equipment to Cuba came at
;i ju'ess conference preceding, ;i
me-ting with Richmond area Re
publicans.
"Every place I travel, Cubit is
the No. 1 issue," he said. "The
American people are miles ahead
of their government as to what
should be done. I can tell the
President that the American people
would like to liberate the people
of Cuba and remove the threat of
Communism from the Western
hemisphere.”
Goldwater told a newsman he
does not see any valid reason for
the President’s asking for standby
power to call up 150,000 military
reserves.
The Arizona senator said Presi
dent Kennedy would have been
better off by asking for authority
for an unlimited callup.
