NEW CORPORATION:
House Approves Bill
On Relay Satellites
WASHINGTON () -- By a vote of 354-9 the House of Representa-
tives yesterday approved a new kind of communications corporation,
private and profit-making, but using government rocket research to
loft space relay satellites into orbit.
Even as the House was voting, proof came that the concept of
bouncing messages and pictures off satellites to any point on the
globe is feasible.
Send TV Picture
The Air Force announced that it had sent a television picture
from coast to coast by way of the two-year-old Echo I balloon satel-
lite, still orbiting 1,000 miles )ut.
The picture was fuzzy but recog-
nizable.
The bill to set up the new cor- French Set
poration was sent to the Senate
with strong bipartisan support. It ltaA
was rated as a compromise but o H OA

Administration had insisted on- LGRS (-In the wake of

U.S. Assures
Schroeder
On Gernany
Stikker Dismisses
Non-Aggression Pact
ATHENS (A') - Leaders of the
North Atlantic alliance launched
a cold war strategy review yester-
day with optimistic talk on the
Berlin question and businesslike
consideration of non-nuclear arms
problems.
Secretary of State Dean Rusk
and West German Foreign Min-
ister Gerhard Schroeder success-
fully threshedout their views on
Berlin at a two and a half hour
luncheon.
Berlin Problem
Following the luncheon, Ameri-
can and German circles said the
substance of the Berlin problem
had never been in question and
other details were now smoothed
out. They expressed hope that big
power unanimity on Berlin would
be assured when the foreign min-
isters convene.
West German sources said they
were reassured "there would not
be any settlement on Germany
and Berlin thatwould not be in
line with the interests of West
Germany and could not be ap-
proved by the West Germans."
Defense Minister
Defense Ministers of 15 North
Atlantic Treaty Organization pow-
ers followed up with a formal
meeting lasting little more than
an hour. They agreed, to speed
some 20 joint armaments projects
iow pending, largely for research
and standardization of weapons.
The most lively surface action
came when NATO Secretary-Gen-
eral Dirk Stikker expressed the
personal view at a news confer-
ence that a non-aggression pact
between NATO and the Commun-
ist Warsaw Pact countries would
be unnecessary and unwise.
Stikker's statement drew imme-
diate, though unofficial, criticism
from the West Germans, British
and Americans.
The Americans were upset be-
cause they had recently suggested
such pact might be part of a Ber-
lin package.
State Officials
Plan To Move
Mentally Ill
A program to move from 1.000
to 3,000 patients over 60 years of
age from mental hospitals into lo-
cal boarding and nursing homes is
gaining support from state offi-
cials.
The proposed move which would
open beds in at least six institu-
tions to persons considered more
needful of psychiatric care is a
departure from the usual demands
for new buildings to take care of
the continually increasing wait-
ing list.
Officials of the Mental Health
and the Social Welfare Depart-
ments are working out the details
of the plan. So far proposals call
for a shift to financial responsibil-
ity from the mental health budget
to the social welfare rolls to corre-
spond with the changeover from
hospitals to private housing.
The governor and legislative
appropriating committees are re-
portedly pressing for the initiation
of this plan by the coming sum-
mer.
There are several points still to
be clarified but there is convic-
tion among officials that they can
be solved.

Public Stock
Under its provisions, half the
stock would be offered to the pub-
lic at $100 a share, and half to
existing communications com-
panies. The President would name
three corporation directors, the
public stockholders six and the
companies six.
The communications companies,
led by the American Telephone &
Telegraph Co., originally had
asked that only they be allowed
to own stock in the satellite cor-
poration. The Administration re-
jected this in favor of wide pub-
lic stock ownership, contending
this would be a safeguard against
domination of the corporation by
A.T.&T.
The Administration originally
proposed that the stock be sold at
$1,000 a share but went along with
Congressional suggestions that it
be $100.
A third approach - government
ownership of the satellites - was
pushed by Rep. William Fitts Ryan
(D-NY), but was shouted down
Tuesday.
Laos Rebels
Capture Town
With Hospital
VIENTIANE (R) - The village
of Muong Sing, where the late Dr.
Tom Dooley founded a jungle hos-
pital only five miles from' Red
China's border, was reported cap-
tured by pro-Communist troops
today.
United States military sources
said they got word from Laotian
army circles of the Communist
victory on this first anniversary of
a cease-fire order that has never
wholly halted the kingdom's civil
war.
Official confirmation was lack-
ing. But the defense 'ministry
charged a Red Chinese regiment
has moved into Laos from the
Yunnan Province town of Meng
Mang, 85 miles northwest of
Muong Sing, and added "a raid of
Muong Sing . .. is to be feared."
The unofficial story was that
the captors were not Chinese but
Pathet Lao guerrillas and sup-
porting units from Communist
North Viet Nam..
Strategically, Muong Sing and
its airstrip have bolstered supply
lines of the Royal Government
garrison at Nam Tha, 20 miles
southeast, against a siege set up
by Pathet Lao battalions last Jan-
uary.
Sends Letter
To Berliners
BERLIN - West Berliners got
a message yesterday from Presi-
dent John F. Kennedy saying he
is convinced the city's freedom and
"essential ties with the Free
World" will be maintained.
The message was brought by E.
Allen Lightner Jr., who will be
the ranking Unitcd States civilian
in Berlin after the departure of
retired Gen. Lucius D. Clay. It
was announced that Gen. Clay will
leave here .Tuesday.

wors uerror wave, te rencn gov-
ernment last night promised a
stern crackdown on European ex-
tremists seeking to block Algerian
independence through chaos.
Christian Fouchet, French high
commissioner to Algeria, in a ra-
dio-TV address to Algeria's million
European settlers, said he has giv-
en rigorous anti-terrorism direc-
tives to Gen. Michel Fourquet, Su-
preme Military Commander, and
to the chief of the Algiers police.
"If these measures do not prove
sufficient they will be followed by
m o r e rigorous measures," he
warned.
Fouchet's address came on the
heels of Wednesday's bloodbath
that killed 110 persons and wound-
ed 147 more. Most were Moslem
victims of the Secret Army. In
Algiers alone 98 deaths were re-
ported for Wednesday.
Fouchet said that any civil ser-
vant who does not do his duty to
help stop terrorism will be shipped
back to France.
At least five Moslems were killed
and eight wounded yesterday.
Four were killed and four wound-
ed by Secret Army commandos
roaming the streets of Blida in
automobiles.
The deteriorating situation has
obviocEly alarmed Paris authori-
ties. President de Gaulle held long
talks with Premier Georges Pompi-
dou and Lous Joxe, Minister for
Algerian Affairs. No detailsdof the
conversations were released.
This was a strike of fright and
protest resulting from the explo-
sion of a booby-trapped car in
the port area Wednesday morning
that caused most of the deaths.

By J. M. ROBERTS
Associated Press News Analyst
North Atlantic Treaty Organiza-
tion Secretary General Stikker,
doubting the wisdom of a non-
aggression pact with the Warsaw
powers as being merely a reitera-
tion of the United Nations charter,r
takes a position which often has1
been invoked by the United States.
The principle involved, however,
is not being followed by the Unitedt
States with regard to Berlin, at
least in public. On the surface, or
at least not formally denied, the
objective there is to obtain reitera-
tion of Allied rights which the
Communists have abrogated, time
after time, and will again.
For this the United States is
even reported to be willing to pay
with agreement to at least a de-
gree of East German participation'
in access controls.
New Reiteration
On this point the Russians have
just made a reiteration of their
own--that any agreement depends
on withdrawal of Western troops
from the city and full recognition
of East German Communist sover-
eignty over all access including
air.
In the face of such talk, re-
sumption of the Rusk-Dobrynin
talks after the secretary's return
from the NATO conference would
seem merely to be for the purpose
of not breaking them off.
And the Berlin situation thus,
will remain what it has truly been
all the time-a confrontation of
strength.
.Release Brief
On Guerrillas.
SAIGON (R)-The briefest mili-
tary report in months from the
South Viet Nam government said
today Communist guerrilla actions
appear to have abated in the last
few days.
The communique announced
only one operation. It claimed 10
guerrillas were killed last Monday
about 20 miles southwest of here.
By contrast there had been an
increasingly militant tone of
broadcasts from the Communist
Viet Cong radio which began op-
erating about February first.
Informed sources said two United
States Army and Marine helicop-
ter companies supported an op-
eration in the Mekong DeltaTues-
day which captured 78 guerrillas
and killed 10. The semi-official Viet
Nam press agency said 9 Viet Cong
were killed and 20 taken prisoner
in another engagement Saturday.

Something of this thought may
be behind the reports from Athens
that the United States is ready
to consider sharing control of its
nuclear weapons in Europe with
NATO if the other important al-
lied nuclear power, Britain, is ad-
mitted to reasonable and working
membership in a European poli-
tical union.
If this were done, it would re-
duce a confusing number of, fin-
Approve Bil
On Smith Act
WASHINGTON (P)--The Senate
Judiciary Committee approved
legislation designed to tighten the
Smith Act, which declares it a
federal crime knowingly and wil-
fully to advocate the overthrow of
the government, or belong to or
organize groups dedicated to those
purposes.

gers on the trigger-or possible
holdbacks on the trigger-to two,
the United States and unified
Europe.
It would also ease British doubts
about taking her nuclear power
into a political situation in which
she could not have the final say
without risking a serious split.
United States support for Euro-
pean union all along has been
based on consolidation of the
strength with which the Allies
face the Soviet military concen-
tration in Europe, and the ability
to meet economic and political
infiltration of the non-Communist
world.
With a sufficient concentration
of military, political and ecpnomic
power in Europe--a concentration
for which the components are
fully available if the countries are
willing to use them-the West will
not have to face any thought of
giving the Communists anything
-in Berlin or elsewhere.

Glenn, Titov Say Fuel
Causes Space Fireflies
WASHINGTON (M- - Astronaut John H. Glenn Jr., and Cosmo-
naut Gherman S. Titov, put their heads together today and may have
solved a mystery - the famous space fireflies.
After their talk, Titov reported to a big international space
meeting they believed the tiny luminous specks they saw were
probably caused by fuel ejected from the rocket or space ship.
Reject Paint
Both had rejected another suggested explanation - that the
specks were the results of paint peeling from their capsules. Glenn
saw the fireflies four times as the
sun rose in the path of his Friend-
ship 7 capsule.1

'II

As for Titov, "I observed them
as soon as I entered orbit," he told
the World Committee on Space
Research. He also saw them when
his retro-rockets fired to bring him
back to Russia.
"I believe, and I think Col. Glenn
is of the same opinion, that they
resulted from fuel being ejected.
This will have to be checked by
the next astronaut."
Describes Spaceship
Referring to his space ship and
launching rocket, the Cosmonaut
said, "The space ship - Sputnik
Vostok II is a controllable rocket
apparatus. Its weight without the
last stage of the booster is 4,731
kilograms.
"The ship-Sputnik was put into
orbit by a multi-stage booster
having six liquid propellant rock-
et engines of the Vostok type.
Total maximum thrust of the en-
gines of all stages is 600,000 kilo-
grams."
