Soviet Russia had captivated the imagination of the world two months before by putting the first man-made satellite, Sputnik in orbit. The Russians characteristically had conducted the operation in strict secrecy and had announced the happy event only after success was assured. When the U.S.

Vanguard satellite fizzled before the television cameras and on the front pages, there those who urged vehemently that the United States, like Russia, should blanket its space program In secrecy in order to spare national humiliation. These words of then Senate Majority Leader (now Vice President) Lyndon B. Johnson were typical of Such reaction, even in responsible quarters: "I shrink a little inside of me whenever the U.S. announces a great event, and it blows up in our face. Why don't they perfect the satellite and announce it from Cape Canaveral after it is in the sky?" Scientists cannot operate, said the president of the American Rocket Society Robert Truax, "with the nation looking down their throats." Such sentiments were more influential than may have been remembered.

There were immediate steps on the part of government authorities to clamp down on the big show at Cape Canaveral. It was only through the most vigorous and continuous action that the press retained even limited access to developments in the space-launching program. If the brass had had its way, it would certainly have taken Sen. Johnson's advice and cut off the world, including the American public, from its view of the U.S. space program except for the successes, The failures would have been blacked out, as in Russia, Now that America has scored its greatest success in space with the faultless launching, orbiting and recovery of John Glenn and his space craft, it should be clear how harmful would have been such a faint- Robert S.

Paul AlIeD and Scott Full Accounting for Americans INSIDE WASHINGTON The headline-making swap of Sovie: spy Rudolph I. Abel for U-2 pilot Francis Powers has triggered a quiet Senate inquiry into the fate of a number of U. S. military officers and civilians captured by the Communists since President Kennedy took office. Senators probing the "muzzling" of military officers are demanding a "full accounting" from the Defense Department of U.

S. prisoners taken by the Communists cr listed as "missing" in the fighting in Laos, and South Viet Nam. The number of these Americans held by the Communists is estimated at from five to 15 and could be even higher. In his unpublished letter to Defense Secretary Robert McNamara, Senator John Stennis, chairman of the Senate Armed Services Preparedness Subcommittee seeks a detailed list of these "forgotten Americans." He also is requesting a full report on what the State and Defense Departments are doing to obtain their release. Senator Stennis' letter, which has explosive gone unanswered for more than a month, is making the full rounds within the administration.

From the Pentagon the letter was shuttled to the State Department; from there it was rushed to the White House where it was read by the President before being sent back to the Defense Department. Still to be decided by Secre- joing to point out that it isi just as easy for the Soviets to knock down the B-70 as it was the U-2, which can reach a higher altitude. McNamara is convinced the Soviets downed the U-2 with a missile warhead. LISTENING IN During his private trans-Atlantic phone call last week, Prime Minister Macmillan told President Kennedy that he plans! to attend next month's Geneva disarmament talks the same that President Kennedy wants I to keep at the Foreign Min-j isters level--if Soviet Premier! Khrushchev turns up as he says he will. However, the i British leader made it clear that he would go not to con- 1 duct any summit talks with Khrushchev but to counter per- sonally any propaganda maneuver by the Communist lead er.

He also informed the President that he will ask the British parliament in July for approval to join the European Common Market. President Kennedy a Macmillan agreed that the British should keep their troops at the present strength of 51,000 in West Germany for the remainder of 1962. Should the Soviets increase their military pressure on West Berlin, Macmillan said he would send additional forces. Charles de Gaulle is planning a major political shake-up of his top of- INTERNATIONAL PENPALS The Insider gets all kinds of requests in his mail. The following one was sent to the Daily Newspaper, Yukon, Alaska.

Since Art Meiser isn't yet in the newspaper business at Ft. Yukon this letter was forwarded to the News-Miner: "I have started an international penfriends' club here, and I know that there are many Australians of all ages who would like to correspond with someone in Alaska, which is so very different from our own country, and so far away. "This is to ask you whether you would be good enough to spare a few lines in your newspaper, and print a request for correspondents, both male and female, over the age of 16. I feel that nothing but good can come from the exchange of ideas between people of different countries and cultures, and even a small ripple on the dark pool of mutual ignorance and misunderstanding should not be underrated. "If intending penfriends will write to me direct, telling me their interests and hobbies and their age-group, I shall do my best to put them in touch with those of similar tastes in this country.

This letter is signed, Mrs. D. Clyne, 7 Catalpa Crescent, Turramurra, Sydney, N.S.W., Australia. i THE WAR GAME Operation Great Bear just ended and it was termed a "draw" by the umpires who were apparently being charitable. But it is difficult to figure out how a draw can come out of such a conflict.

While they aren't saying officially, it seems that the Ft. Wainwright boys, as the Aggressors, would have stomped all over the friendly troops if they were allowed to run free. This is something like a latter day Korean War when the U. S. troops were ordered to pull back, or like in Berlin when we stopped and let the Russians take over.

The difference between this local tax effort and the "basic need" as computed from the three allotments would be made up by the state.

governor said the proposed statute would replace the present complex system of state aid which requires the department of education to review closely many individual items of school district budgets and make decision approving or disapproving individual expenditures.
