Queen Elizabeth II
Marks 37th Birthday
LONDON UP — Queen Elizabeth
II celebrated her official 37 th
birthday Saturday, taking the sa
lute at the traditional color troop
ing ceremony held each year.
The Queen, riding side-saddle on
a docile and handsome gray police
horse named Doctor, was resplend
ent in the scarlet tunic of a colonel
of the Grenadier Guards. She wore
a black tricorn hat with a white
plume. It was a splendid sunshiny
day.
Originally the ceremony, now
more than 250 years old, was held
to acquaint foreign mercenaries of
the British army with the flag they
were expected to fight under, so
that they would not shoot at their
colleagues in the heat of battle.
A crowd of 40,000, including
many who had been waiting all
night, jammed the parade ground
With the Queen was her hus
band, Prince Philip, riding another
police horse.
Actually Elizabeth was 37 on
April 21. She has her official birth
day in June because the weather is
usually better.

France Unveils
New 30-Ton Tank
CAMP DE MAILLY, France (.¥»
— The French army unveiled be
fore newsmen Friday its A.M.X.
30-ton tank and showed how it
could cross a river six feet deep
without special preparation.
The tank is about seven feet
high, measuring to the top of its
silhouette, so only a small part
was visible at the deepest part of
the river crossing. Officers said
that equipped with a snorkel
breathing device it could cross
rivers 13 feet deep.
The A.M.X. was developed under
a French-Italian agreement to de
sign a tank suited to European
conditions.
The tank was displayed for
President Charles De Gaulle and
German Chancellor Konrad Aden
auer at a military demonstration
last summer on Adenauer’s visit
to France.

U.S. Scientist Says
Prolonged Space Flight
Is Hazard to the Brain
WARSAW, Poland — Hallu
cinations, impaired judgment and
permanent brain and bone damage
are possible hazards of prolonged
space flight scientists say.
Several U.S. researchers reported
on them into a symposium Friday
on space biology conducted by
Cospar, the international commit
tee for space research.
One said that U.S astronaut Gor
don Cooper’s report of seeing
houses and smoking chimneys in
Tibet during his recent 22-orbit
flight suggests disorders of visual
perception or of judgment during
weightlessness
The speaker, W. R. Adey of the
University of California, said
Cooper’s insistence that he could
see objects the size of a house 100
miles up was “obviously impossi
ble, as any experienced pilot
would know.”
They said Cooper’s judment may
have been impaired at the time
by the total lack of normal nerve
sensations.
He explained Cooper’s bulls
eye manual landing after a elec
trical breakdown saying “in an
emergency, the human system
tends to pull itself together.”
Adey and other speakers sug
gested dangers will increase great
ly as space flights are lengthened.
To study this, the United States
plans to launch a monkey for up
to two weeks next fall, Adey said.

Roundup Time -
Alaskan Style !
FT. RICHARDSON—It’s round
up time—Alaska style!
Last week, game biologists and
agents of the Alask Fish and Game
Department have been conducting
a king-size roundup of newly-born
moose calves in the Anchorage area
in an effort to learn more about
the life and habits of the king of
Alaska’s game animals.
These modern-day Alaskan cow
boys, however, have foresaken the
proverbial cow pony for a giant
Army CH-21 helicopter, and in
stead of branding irons they use
small aluminum tags.
It’s all a part of a far-reaching
program by the game men to con
duct an intensive study of what
they call “population dynamics” of
the Alaskan moose.
By attaching coded aluminum
tags to the ears of the young moose
calves, the biologists gain valu
able information concerning the
movements and ranging habits of
the moose. Since each tag is num
bered the men are also able to
study the sizes of known-age ani
mals when the moose are shot by
hunters in years to come.
Compiling scientific data on the
moose is one thing, but separating
a young moose calf from its
mother and chasing it down, on
foot, across a waist-deep muskeg
swamp is another.
Consider Itself Lucky
WASHINGTON — Chairman
Thomas Morgan, (D-Pa.), of the
House Foreign Affairs Committee,
figures the administration should
consider itself lucky in $4.1 bil
lion is authorized for foreign aid
next year. President Kennedy
asked for $4.5 billion.
Morgan said his committee
should begin the final stages of
writing the authorization bill dur
ing the week after two months of
hearings.
He said the report of Gen. Lucius
Clay’s advisory committee on
foreign aid has made the House
committee’s more difficult. Clay
recommended that the program be
tightened up and cut at least to
$4.3 billion.
