This is the strange new world of Edward Higgins White II, American astronaut, age 34, father of two children, a would- be human planet in orbit around the earth.

strike a surface that the radiation is There is no air to buffet and spread the light. Below, you see the earth's blanket of air glowing with the sun's light, splitting the white light into the splatter of color as the world of men know it. You feel the full brunt of the sun's radiation. You turn toward the sun and feel the immediate slap of heat at your face as the rays come through your visor. And you are thankful, too, that the visor is filtered to protect your eyes from the cruel light Behind you gleaming on its sun-side is the spacecraft and your command pilot keeping a careful eye on your movements.

And you know that the sun-side of the craft is hot, some 200 degrees Fahrenheit, and the shade side is perhaps 200 degrees below zero. And that is probably also the temperature variation of your suit exterior if you merely stood there and didn't move. The earth stretches out like some hazy plain painted in browns and golds and purples almost like colors you hadn't seen before. And perhaps through the haze you see the to side, to and fro, and it is a fine way to get around, a beautiful toy in this daydream sort of world.

D. A. Baumgartner, general superintendent of transportation for the Santa Fe Railway in Chicago, told the group Santa Fe is optimistic that it will be able to meet requests for box cars in wheat areas it servts.

Some of the lines were not so weightless arena, you know the optimistic, but general outlook for movement of cars into the grain belt is good despite the fact that the supply of cars is low at present. "I think we really are in better shape than some of the people think," Blase said. He pointed out, however, a Credit Commodity Corp. order to move 15 million bushels of corn to the West Coast the past week, and another order to move 5.5 million more bushels next week may cause an additional strain on the box car supply. only laws that hold are that any action has its equal and opposite reaction.

Now Nannie, who once said she always loved "good, clean romance," is dead at 60. The jovial, grandmotherly widow died of leukemia Wednesday in an Oklahoma City hospital, where she was taken from the state penitentiary at McAlester. Nannie, who escaped the electric chair because of a District Judge who felt it would be "poor precedent" to make her the first woman to be sentenced to death in Oklahoma, died on the 10th anniversary of her life term in prison.

Nannie also admitted poisoning husbands two, three and four. Husband No. 1 and the lone survivor, Charles Braggs, wnom she married in Blue Mountain, divorced her because the food she served didn't "caste right." Nannie said she killed her second husband, Frank Harrelson of Jacksonville, by spiking his corn whisky with rat poison. Her next two husbands, Harley Lanning, whom she met in Lexington, N. and Richard Louis Morton of Emporia, didn't fare any better.

Nannie also was charged In poison death of her mother, Mrs. Louisa Hazel of Lexington, N.C. Officers also had investigated never filed charges in the mysterious deaths of Nannie's father, two of her children and other relatives. Mrs. Doss contended she never "harmed any of my blood kin." But she did calmly admit doing away with four of her husbands, saying: "My conscience is clear.

You won't find anymore." The motive for the slayhgs, according to prosecutors, was money from insurance policies on her husbands. Gemini: MEN!

Reg. $12.99 NOW In Space Suits Fabric Layers Resist Micrometeorites, Rays HOUSTON, Tex. Outer space is ail alien, hostile environment, completely opposite to the earth's atmosphere.

For man to travel in outer space, he must take a little piece of the earth's environment with him. That is where the space suit comes in. When astronauts step out into the vast void of the universe, the only thing to keep them from popping like a bubble is the space suit. The garment also acts as a shield, bouncmg away lethal specks of dust, micrometeorites flashing through the sky at incredible speed. Radiation from the sun could kill a man in an eyelid's twinkling.

The suit protects against this danger. This little world weighs 31V4 pounds, has 21 layers of fabric, connections for oxygen hoses, communication lines and medical monitoring circuits and costs $28,000. Once a man gets inside the garment, he is in a world all his own, providing all his life support equipment is working. To make sure the suit works perfectly, technicians have bombarded it with a micrometeorite gun, firing tiny slivers of piastic at more than 25,000 miles per hour into the fabric. Layers of aluminized mylar, felt and dacron repel the speeding plastic, guaranteeing, safety to the astronaut.

The helmet has been beefed up with two additional visors. One for micrometeorite protection and the other to shut out the sun's undiminished brightness in outer space. Bullets have bounced off the strong plastic, called Lexan. It is 30 times stronger than plastic used in airplane canopies. To protect against the sun's bright rays, the outer visor has been tinted a blue-green.

The middle visor has a gold tint to control the heat and also is made of Lexan. Each suit is tailored for the individual astronaut Emporia, Kansas, ThuwiJay, June 3, 1965: Silos Up for Sale I Incluidle One Near Bushong I II WASHINGTON Want to buy a concrete-lined, 160-foot- deep hole in the ground, complete with air-conditioned living quarters and elevator? Well, this month the General Services Administration expects to offer for sale perhaps as many as 148 missile silos, some of them equipped with large underground living quarters, including one near Bushong in Lyon County. The silos cost the government about $1.5 billion, or from around $12 million to $25 million each. From the standpoint of cost and number of similar installations involved, the disposal effort will be the largest yet for GSA, which is the government's housekeeping agency. The GSA has an inventory of surplus government real and personal property for sale that numbers about 350 items ranging from a cast-iron water pipe, old post offices and abandoned lighthouses to a nuclear laboratory, including a nuclear reactor, and a complete high-energy fuel plant.

The acquisition cost was about $750 million. "What the government paid and what we will get (for the silos) will bear no relationship," said Howard Greenberg, commissioner of the GSA's utilization and disposal service. "This was an investment in national safety." But Greenberg and Walter C. Moreland, GSA assistant commissioner for real property, made it clear in a joint interview that every effort will be made to get the greatest possible return. Because of the nature of the disposal problem, GSA published an unusual advertisement in March to alert possible civilian purchasers that the silos are going to be for sale.

And even earlier, when the Defense Department determined that the silos rapidly were being rendered obsolete because of advances in the mis- BUSHONG Mr. and Mrs. Adoph Burri spent Friday to Sunday with their daughter, Mrs. Royer Peterson, and family, Brookiine Station, Mo. Sunday, they had a dinner in honor of Mrs.

Peterson's birthday. As the Burris returned home, they called on Mr. and Mrs. Loren Snider, Richmond. Held, both the Defense Department and GSA began canvassing to see if there was any other government use for the silos.

The Defense Department has notified the armed services committees of Congress of its intention to declare up to 148 of its 149 silos as excess to its needs, although it intends to remove certain equipment from them, the GSA officials said. Moreland said there have been many evidences of interest in obtaining the silos and said every effort will be made to sell them as packages, including their surrounding equipment. One inquiry came from a community contemplating a silo and the surrounding acreage in which it is located for an installation for housing juvenile delinquents, with the silo's power plant providing electricity for the institution. Some state and local Civil Defense agencies are exploring the possibility of use of the silos for fallout shelters and for storage of emergency supplies.
