Pearson Hall Joins UP-
(Continued from page 1)
Wohlford added. "But I think if the scholarship halls would ban together they could be a real force."
DOUTHART'S DISAFFILIATION with Vox means that Vox will probably not be represented by bloc membership in the women's small dormitory section. The other houses — Watkins, Miller, and Sellards Halls — were affiliated with UP last year.
Watkins and Sellards have not decided on either party yet, but house members indicated both would probably go UP.
"The change from Vox to UP is significant," said Tom Hardy, Hoisington senior and last year's independent co-chairman of UP.
"LAST YEAR, the Vox candidate in the small men's dormitory district won by only a few votes," he explained. "Now the switch of Pearson to UP will mean less competition for UP in the general elections."
Last year, in the small men's dormitory district, the houses were divided evenly. Vox houses were Foster, Battenfeld, and Pearson. UP houses included Grace Pearson, Lolliffe, and Stephenson.
Weather Break Favors 'Man-In-Space' Attempt
CAPE CANAVERAL — (UPI) — A break in threatening weather today gave man-in-space officials what they called a "good chance" of sending Astronaut Walter M. Schirra Jr., off into space tomorrow as planned.
The word on the more favorable forecasts came shortly after technicians loaded Schirra's silvery Atlas rocket with 63,000 pounds of rocket fuel.
PROJECT MERCURY officials said that tropical storm Daisy, which had posed a major menace only yesterday, took an abrupt turn which apparently cleared nearly all of the planned emergency landing areas in the Atlantic Ocean.
"You can call this a break for us." one elated official said. "Things look good for a launch tomorrow morning."
Space agency officials said the fueling of the Atlas booster rocket
—one of the last key steps before beginning the eight-hour countdown—went off without a hitch.
ASTRONAUT Schirra himself ran through a late-hour engineering review with scientists at Cape Canaveral as man, machine and weather reported ready for a planned launching tomorrow between 6 and 8 a.m. Lawrence time
Mercury chiefs said the only possible threat that storm Daisy now posed was to the emergency landing area at the end of orbit No. 2
— roughly 375 miles south-southeast of Bermuda. The weather forecast for that point tomorrow was called "marginal."
Some cloudiness was expected over Cape Canavalal during the two-hour launching "window" but "it is not expected to be prohibitive," one official said. Elsewhere, Atlantic and Pacific ocean weather was reported good.
U.S. Requests Russian Spies Leave Country
NEW YORK — (UPI) — The two Russian United Nations diplomats who were nabbed by the FBI in an espionage case involving a U.S. sailor left for home last night. Their removal from this country had been requested by the State Department.
One of them, in a parting shot, commented sarcastically on U.S. legal procedure just before boarding the Moscow-bound plane at Idlewild international airport.
"I am rather happy to leave this country where there is no law," said Evgeni N. Prokhorov. His companion, Ivan Y. Vyrodov, maintained a glum silence.
About the same time the two Soviet diplomats were making their departure, Sen. Thomas J. Dodd, D-Conn., was urging the State Department to seek a United Nations vote of censure against Russia for espionage activities by members of its U.N. delegation.
The diplomats were taken into custody by the FBI last Friday and charged with procuring secret information from Navy Yoeman First Class Nelson Cornelius Drummond. Drummond now is being held in $100,000 bail on an espionage charge.
Pie-in-Sky Seen In USSR Future
By Phil Newsom UPI Journal New York
For years the people of the Soviet Union have been torn between the pie-in-the-sky promises of Soviet leaders and the hard realities of life short on everything but Sputniks.
Auto Wrecking and Junk
Another of those hard realities hit them recently with the announcement that promised income tax cuts had been postponed "until further notice."
THESE CUTS, first announced in May, 1960, were to have been carried out over a five-year period until all personal income tax was to have been abolished.
In July, 1961, the Communist party newspaper Pravda published a new program. It promised:
"In the current decade (1961-70) the Soviet Union will surpass the strongest and richest capitalist country, the United States, in production per head of population; the people's standard of living and their cultural and technical standards will improve substantially; everyone will live in easy circumstances; all collective and state farms will become highly productive and profitable enterprises; the demand of Soviet people for well-appointed housing will, in the main, be satisfied; hard physical work will disappear; the USSR will become the country with the shortest work day."
