FOR THE U.S. spaceman, this will be only a peek through the doorway of space. He will soar to an altitude cf about 115 miles, high enough1 to view the Gulf of Mexico, the Florida peninsula, Caribbean islands and perhaps as far north as the Carolinas. It will not be and was not intended to be a sweeping orbital trip like the global swing which carried Russia's Maj. Yuri Gagarin to a maximum altitude of 187 miles April 12.

But for the few minutes he will be aloft in the "sub-orbital" flight, the American spaceman's outlook on the world should be just as dramatic.

These are some of the eminent Americans and groups who support the stand I have taken on the Connally reservation: OGDEN asked the state, to take care of her without charge for the remaining years of her life. She is about 90.

Lil was born Honora Orn-stein of a prominent family in the cattle butchering business in Butte, Mont. She inherited $150,000 from her mother's estate, but she made her "millions" operating houses of prostitution in Dawson City, Y.T., during the Gold Rush days of 1897-98 and in Seattle when she came "outside." ment, she was reported to be wracked with venereal disease and narcotics. Although she is still insane, she apparently is in good physical health. Under supervision of the court, Lil's money was doled out with care. At first it cost only $20 a month to pay her way in the hospital.

Now it costs $120. Ogden told Judge Douglas that Lil's money was exhausted and her diamonds were gone, including the one in her front tooth and the famed, white-gold "snake" studded with 125 small diamonds which she wore entwined on her arm from just below her shoulder to her wrist. Ogden said he had trouble marketing the diamonds because some women balked at wearing jewels that had belonged to "that woman." Richard M.

This is completely false charge.

All one need do is read the April 1 0th issue of U.S. News and World Report to find how false this charge is. The magatine reports that if all the president'i budget recommendations are followed the increase will be 3.3 billion not 10 or 15 or 30 billion. Furthermore, of this increase, 2.3 billion is for badly-needed national security expenditures. Vice-president Niton proposed to spend considerably more than that for national defense es well as non-defense programs.

As your representative I will support the administration when I think it is right and oppose it when I think it is wrong, but I believe the voters should knew that this charge Is wholly without foundation. the turn of the century and lavished her fortune on men, a good time and diamonds.

Next she married George Miller, brother of Dave Miller, who managed ex-middleweight Champion Boxer Freddie Steele. LIL'S PASSION for leaving wills rivaled her passion for diamonds.

Every time she would fall in love with someone, she would leave a will bequeathing him her fortune. She left dozens of wills. She also literally showered her favorites with diamonds.
