Double Selection
Featured for Book of
Month Club Readers
A novel of the old west. A Time
In the Sun. by Jane Barry — which
Clifton Fadirnan calls “a western
for readers with grown-up minds"
has been chosen by the Book
of the Month Club as part of a
double selection for September. It
will be distributed together with
The Blue Nile by Alan Moorehead.
Mrs. Barry's novel is set in the
1870s in the territory of Arizona.
The heroine is Anna Stillman, a
gently reared American girl who
is captured by Apaches while
traveling to join her fiance at a
military post near the frontier
town of Tucson. Anna's traveling
companion, Ysabel, a vain and
spoiled Mexican girl, is captured
with her.
Mr. Moorehead's The White Nile,
a club selection in 1961, dealt
with one great branch of the river
and concentrated on the years be
tween 1856 and 1900. The Blue
Nile goes back into the 18th cen
tury to tell the story of the ex
ploration of the other great branch
— that which pours quietly out of
vast Lake Tana in the northern
highlands of Ethiopia.

Six Space Trips
WASHINGTON UP — The Soviet
Union has struck out in five of
six attempts to send spacecraft to
Mars and Venus — and the sixth
turned into a long foul, U S. space
officials report.
Twice within the past two weeks,
they said, the Soviets tried to beat
or match America’s launching of
Mariner 2 now hurtling 8,000 miles
an hour toward Venus. Both So
viet attempts went haywire, added
the report.
It ticked off the two space flops
this way:
One effort on Aug. 25 — two
days before Mariner rocketed into
the sky — broke up in space. Its
fragments are orbiting earth. This
failure was reported unofficially
earlier.
But the U.S. Space Agency dis
closed Wednesday night a second
attempt on Sept. 1 not previously
reported. The Soviets saw this one
misfire, too.
The only shot that approached
success was a Venus probe in 1961,
said the report, but its radio black
ed out before it got even close to
the planet.
The chronicle of Soviet space
troubles was contained in a letter
to chairmen of the Senate and
House Space Committees from
James Webb, chief of the National
Aeronautics and Space Adminis
tration.
The Congress members had urged
Webb to make public information
on Soviet space misadventures
since the Soviets only talk about
their successes.
Along this line, Rep. George P.
Miller, (D-Cal.), laced into “Mon
day morning quarterbacks whose
teeth start chattering after every
Russian ‘spectacular’ in space.”
Miller, chairman of the House
Space Committee, told the House
in a prepared speech that these
critics had demanded more em
phasis on military needs in space
after the Soviet Union put two
manned spaceships in twin orbits.
“Our defense officials are not
dolts, and I suspect that their
decisions are based on information
and intelligence which is some
what superior to that of their lay
critics,” said Miller.
