CAPE CANAVERAIr-The attention of the people of the United
States will focus today on this small, scrubby bit of sand, where dstro-
naut John H. Glenn, Jr. Will meet the President in a ceremony hon-
oring Glenn's spaceflight.
Glenn will be reunited with his wife for the first time since he
went into seclusion prior to the flight and his return Tuesday. To-
gether with President John F. Kennedy, the Glenn family will visit
launching pad 14, from which Glenn roared into space.
Visit Control Center
They will also visit the Mercury Control Center, where 24 men
who anxiously watched, tracked, and guided Glenn's. flight three
times around the earth on their consoles and a huge map of the
world.
As the time for this huge public welcome approached, Glenn, who
appeared calm before his spaceflight, was reported "a wee bit nervous"
as he waited-still in seclusion-on the island of Grand Turk in the
Bahamas.
After the welcome to Cape Canaveral, he will appear before a
joint session of the House of Representatives and the Senate in the
House Chamber Monday. March 1, he will be honored by a ticker-tape
parade in New York City.
Huge Crowd
- Some 100,000 persons are expected to flock to the Cape Canaveral
area today during the Glerm welcome. A motorcade will run for 20
miles from Patrick Air Force Base through the town of Cocoa Beach
to the south gate of Cape Canaveral-
A huge red, white and blue banner saying "Welcome Back,
John," was put across a four-lane section of Highway US A1A, which
is the main street of Cocoa Beach, and which links the Air Force
Base to the Cape.
It will be President Kennedy's first trip to Cape Canaveral, but
Vice-President Lyndon B. Johnson, chairman of the President's Space
Council, has been to the missile base before.
Hold Conference
After the ceremony, Glenn will hold a news conference-his first
full public appearance since he was given his space flight assignment-
The Glenns will rejoin President Kennedy at Palm Springs Mon-
day for the trip to-Washington and the congressional appearance.
In the motorcade today, Glenn's car will lead nine other cars
carrying his fellow astronauts and the various members of Glenn's
family.

PRESSURES:
T o Speed Up A cuon
On Peace Amance
WASHROGTON (P)--Government officials were reported yester-
day under orders to speed up President John F. Kennedy's Alliance
for Peace Plan, aimed at aiding Latin American economic and social
ddvelopment.
Congressional criticism that the program has been rather slow
in getting underway, and increasingly disquieting reports of "internal
problems" in several hemispheric nations are supposed to have spur-
red the intensified activity-
Increased Night Work
One official said that "there is going to be a lot of night work,
and as a matter of fact, a lot of people in the State Department and
the Agency for International De-
BERLIN (P)-Attorney General
Robert F. Kennedy pledged last
night that Berlin's air lanes to
the West will be kept open, if nec-
essary, by "the full strength of
American power."
He made the promise in a
speech prepared for delivery be-
fore the Ernst Reuter Society in
west erh s ee Univers y.Hpa
lice at 180,000, the United Stiates
attorney general declared Berlin
will not be attacked because "an
armed attack on West Berlin is
the same thing as an armed at-
tack on Chicago, New York, Lon-
don or Paris. You are our brothers
aind we will stand by you.''
Highlight Day
The two speeches were the
highlight of a crowded day in
which Kennedy and his wife flew
in a snowstorm from Rome by
way . of the Frankfurt-Berlin Air
Corridor without interference
from Soviet planes.
Kennedy made a brief arrival
speech, partly in German, at Tem-
plehof Airport, looked over the
n ni . t he reme
b
was greeted tumultously every-
where by large crowds despite a
cold wintry day.
Police estimated at least 500,000
est Berliners altogether turned
out to see Kennedy. People lined
the route of his ride to city hall
10 deep in places and waved tow-
els, tablecloths and old Amet an
flags. Reject Demands

two weeks ago when the Rus-
sians attempted to preempt space
in Berlin's vital air lanes to the
West at certain times and heights
for their own military flights-
The Western powers rejected
the demand and flew the corridors
as usual. The Russians did not
make any preemptive demands for

ADMINISTRATORS:
SA Ur es Refusal
The American Association of School Administrators ended its
ninet -fourth annual convention this week "with a deelaration that
school funds should not be used for fallout shelters.
The 13,000-member organization; consisting primarily of school
superintendents, said that shelters should be uriderwritten by the com-
munity because "providing protection against the hazards of nuclear
bombing attacks is a total public responsibility."
This varied from the stand taken Nov 9 by the New York Legis-
lature appropriating $,100 million to pay up to one half the cost of
shelters with schools and colleges paying the other half. I
