Soviets Turn to
Underground Tests
WASHINGTON LSI — U.8. of
ficials speculated Saturday Russia
might have turned to underground
nuclear testing to try to set world
opinion against any U.S. explo
sions in the atmosphere.
The UR. Atomic Energy Com
mission announced the new So
viet Iburst Friday, saying it ap
parently had been set off under
ground:
■It was the first time the AEC
had told of detecting a Russian
underground test. All the previous
ones announced by the AEC took
place in the atmosphere except
for one triggered underwater.
Why the switch from the at
mosphere to underground test
ing? Some U.S. authorities guess
ed the Soviets were troubled by
criticism of their string of fall
out bursts last fall and figured
that by going underground they
would turn the world’s attention
to the U.S. testing program.
President Kennedy has said the
United States might be forced to
resume tests in the atmosphere to
protect its nuclear weapons lead.
UR. officials said, however, that
one Soviet blast didn’t make a
case. Their speculation was based
on the assumption the Russians
would set off more underground
explosions.

JET RUNS OFF RUNWAY
MILWAUKEE UPi — A North
west Airlines 720B jet, with 107
passengers aboard, went off a
runway and into the snow at Gen.
Billy Mitchell Field Saturday,
thereby averting a possible crash.
The plane, en route from Min
neapolis to New York, came in
high because of fog and landed
farther along the runway than
usual, airport officials said. It
halted in snow just off the run
way and the pilot maneuvered
it around for the trip back to
the terminal.
The plane refueled and re
sumed its flight to New York.
SOVIET TRAWLER SINKS

The Russians, after some hours
ashore, returned to the sea in a
launch which took them to other
vessels of the Soviet fishing fleet
in the area.

Cooking Advice . . .
FCXLKSTONE, England Gf> — A
court has told 19-year-old Bar
bara Cairns she must prove she
can cook before she gets married.
Barbara appealed to the court
Friday for permission to wed Eric
Goldsack, 19, over the objections
of her father, who complained
she didn’t know how to cook.
Being under 21 she needed parent
al consent to marry.
Magistrate Percy Gurr, 70, lent
a sympathetic ear to Barbara’s
plea, but told her: “You can’t ex
pect young husbands to live on
tins of sardines. They need a sub
stantial meal.”
The elderly jurist gave Barbara
three months to practice up in
her cooking and said he would
give her another hearing. He said,
“I made sure before I married
that my wife could cook.”

Glenn Raps
Newsmen for Stress
On Personal Life
WASHINGTON UP) — Lt. Col.
John H. Glenn Jr. told President
Kennedy today he wished news
men would concentrate on sci
entific aspects of his projected
flight into space rather than his
personal life.
Glenn, whose attempts to orbit
the globe in a space capsule has
been postponed until Feb. 13 at
the earliest, visited Kennedy at
the White House and had, he told
reporters afterward, “a very
pleasant morning.”
Glenn told the President news
men in effect were bringing out
the “Walter Mitty” in the public
—a hidden desire to live the
spectacular experience of an as
tronaut. Mitty was a fictional
character who fancied himself in
assorted heroic roles. Mitty was
created by the late James
Thurber.
Kennedy sympathized a bit with
Glenn, saying he was aware of
the problem but noting also that
it put a human stamp on project
Mercury.
In his conversation with Ken
nedy, the astronaut said he
didn’t mind the attention at all
but the emphasis was on the
wrong points.
“We don’t know how to get
them to concentrate on the sci
entific aspects,” Glenn said.
Newsmen, he added, appear to be
more interested in such personal
items as “how Annie (Mrs. Glenn)
is getting her hair fixed.”
There was nothing to indicate
any discussion with Kennedy of
the fact that Glenn and six other
astronauts have exclusive con
tracts with Life Magazine for
their personal stories.
The seven astronauts reported
ly are receiving $500,000 for their
eyewitness accounts of space
| flight.
In announcing the contract on
Aug. 18, .1059, Life said its con
tract also covered “the personal
stories of the men’s families.”
One in every five Americans
over 30, doctors say, is danger
ously overweigh.
