Khrushchev Says Any
Concessions for Treaty
Must Come from West
MOSCOW W — Premier Khrush
chev indicated Saturday that any
concessions in negotiations for a
nuclear test ban treaty would have
to come from the West.
While expressing satisfaction
with President Kennedy’s plea for
improved East - West relations,
Khrushchev took a stand against
on-site inspections sought by the
West.
“We are ready to sign an agree
ment banning all nuclear tests
even today,” Khrushchev declared.
But he added, “it is up to the
West.”
Khrushchev gave Soviet editors
his reaction to Kennedy’s speech
at American University in Wash
ington Monday. Tass news agency
distributed the Khrushchev inter
view.
The Soviet government “would
not agree to throw the territory
of our country open to inspection
for espionage purposes,” Khrush
chev said. He repeated the Soviet
contention that such inspections
are unnecessary to guard against
cheating in underground tests.
The Soviet Union previously had
offered up to three on-site inspec
tions of its territory. The United
States has been holding out for
seven.
Sets New Speed Record
PARIS UP) — Mrs. Jacqueline
Auriol at the controls of a sleek
delta wing Mirage III swept to
a women’s speed record over a
fixed 62-mile course Friday.
Timers clocked France’s fastest
lady at an average speed of 1,260
miles an hour. This topped the
old record of 1,196 miles an hour
set last May 2 by Jacqueline
Cochrane, American woman flyer
of Indio, Calif. Miss Cochrane set
her record in a F-100G jet fighter.

Project Mercury
Man-in-Space
Program Ends
Editor’s Note: Project Mercury
America’s man - in - space pro
gram, has ended. Howard Bene
dict, AP correspondent at Cape
Canaveral, who witnessed the
progress of the five-year pro
gram, reviews its legacy, and
the future for which it laid the
groundwork in a three-part
series. The first article follows.
By Howard Benedict
CAPE CANAVERAL iff) — Proj
ect Mercury, America’s pioneer
man-in-space program, has ended
after a remarkable five-year life
time in which it laid a solid founda
tion for future space exploration
and added countless thrills to the
pages of history.
In announcing the end of the
program, James Webb, adminis
trator of the National Aeronautics
and Space Administration, said
that instead of another Mercury
orbit flight, NASA will move
ahead with plans for the two
man Gemini spacecraft program.
It will practice the space-docking
maneuvers that will be required
later for Apollo flights to the
moon.
To have another Mercury flight,
Webb said, would slow up develop
ment of the Gemini program. The
first Gemini flight now is ex
pected early in 1965.
Mercury was conceived in 1958,
after early Soviet and U.S. satel
lites indicated that perhaps man
ned space flight was possible.
An extensive talent search be
gan for the men who would fly
the new machine. On April 9,
1959, the chosen seven were intro
duced at a press conference: Ma
rine Lt. Col. John Glenn Jr.; Air
Force Maj. Virgil Grissom; Navy
Cmdr. Alan Shepard Jr.; Navy Lt.
Cmdr. Malcolm Carpenter; Air
Force Maj. Leroy Gordon Cooper
Jr.; Navy Cmdr. Walter Schirra
Jr.; Air Force Maj. Donald Slay
ton.
All were military pilots with
vast jet experience.
On Jan. 31, 1916, a chimpanzee
named Ham suited up for a bal
listic ride scheduled to be the last
flight before an astronaut was
flown over the same route. How
ever, the Redstone developed a
malfunction which caused Ham to
overshoot his target by several
miles.
The chimp was recovered suc
cessfully but Mercury officials de
cided the trouble necessitated an
other Redstone flight before a
man’s life was risked.
On March 24, the Redstone
proved it was ready by success

"THE HAWK"
MOSCOW UP — Valery Byovsky,
the fifth Soviet cosmonaut, calls
himself “The Hawk” in radio
communications with earth.
He followed the tradition start
ed by the second Soviet cosmo
naut, Gherman Titov, who called
himself “The Eagle” during his
17-orbit flight in August 1961.
Pavel Popovich chose “The
Golden Eagle” and Adrian Niko
layev, “The Falcon” during their
duo flight last August.
fully boosting a dummy capsule
over tiie ballistic course.
But the delay proved costly. On
April 12, Russia’s Yuri Gagarin
orbited around the earth.
On May 5, Shepard made a per
fect 15-minute Redstone flight in
which he soared 115 miles high and
landed in the Atlantic Ocean 302
miles from Cape Canaveral.
Grissom made an almost identi
cal trip on July 21, 1961, but an
escape hatch on his Liberty Bell
7 capsule blew out shortly after
he landed and he had to swim to
safety as the vehicle sank in the
sea.
Another chimpanzee, Enos,
blazed the orbital trail. On Nov.
29, 1961, he rocketed into an in
tended three-orbit flight. But heat
ing and control problems developed
and Enos was returned safely to
earth one orbit early.
The problems were not consid
ered serious, and Glenn was named
to make the first manned orbit
flight.
After a series of technical and
weather delays extending more
than two months, an Atlas blast
ed Glenn and his Friendship 7
capsule into orbit on Feb. 20, 1962.
I Several technical problems crop
ped up, but Glenn completed his
three-orbit mission.
Carpenter flew on May 24, 1962.
His Aurora 7 craft developed
trouble which forced him to fly
manually during the critical re
entry maneuver. He overshot his
target by 250 miles, but recovery
forces found him serenely sitting
in a raft near the spacecraft.
Schirra was next in line, and
on Oct. 3, 1962, he made a near
perfect six-orbit “textbook” flight.
That paved the way for Cooper’s
22-orbit, 34-hour flight last May
15-16. Because drifting flight pro
vided so effective, Mercury’s ori
ginal 24-hour goal was extended
by more than 10 hours.
Cooper’s Faith 7 flew perfectly
for 19 orbits—during which the
pilot slept and performed numer
ous scientific and photographic as
signments. Then trouble developed
which forced him to use manual
controls for re-entry — again
proving that man can perform in
space, even after long exposure
to weightlessness.
Next: Mercury’s legacy.

Chinese Nationalists
Issue Stamps Featuring
Photographs of Refugees
i
TAIPEI, Formosa OP — The
Chinese Nationalist government is
issuing postage stamps featuring
dramatic Associated Press photo
graphs of refugees who fled the
Red China mainland in May 1962.
The photographs were taken by
P. C. Lee of Hong Kong’s Tiger
Standard and distributed by radio
photo to newspapers around the
world by the Associated Press.
Refugees poured into Hong Kong
in May 1962, the height of a mass
exodus from the Communist main
land regime. Chiang Kai-Shek’s
nationalist government will issue
the stamps June 27 to commemor
ate the arrival of the first groups
of escapees here.
The first of sets to be made
available to the public will de
pict Lee Ying, a Chinese refugee
girl, bursting into tears after being
told she must return to China.
Two million of these, carrying an
80-cent denomination (2 cents
U.S.) are to be published.
The second, of which 600,000 are
to be printed, shows a refugee
carrying his young son and drag
ging his tearful wife back to the
border. It will carry a $3.20 de
nomination (8 cents).
The photographs won honorable
mention in international photo
contests and aroused sympathy for
the refugees.
The stamps are among 54 special
sets issued since the Nationalists
transferred their seat from the
mainland to Taipei in 1949.
Philatelists consider the Nation
alist stamps among the best de
signed anywhere.
