McKee, a Dallas, contractor, will build Missouri's new medium security prison near Moberly. Work is expected to start in July or August and be finished in about two years. The Board of Public Buildings approved McKee's low base bid of $8,508,000 Tuesday, one of five submitted in the second attempt to get an acceptable offer.

With the approval of four alternates for a recreation building, a chapel, an emergency light plant and electric sterilizers, the total McKee bid was Formal signing of the contract is expected in a few days but it may be another month before the grading of the 235-acre site south of Moberly is completed. That work was awarded earlier to Cameron, Joyce and Co. but has been delayed by wet weather. The medium security prison will house around 720 men who are considered good risks for return to society. The plant will include school, shop and vocational training buildings.

Originally it was planned for about 1,200 men but the size was cut down and some of the frills were removed after the first bic opening last Jan. 19 when all the offers were well over 12 million dollars--far more than was available. All the first bids were rejected. The money comes from a 10 million dollar allotment, part of the state's 75 million dollar building bond issue. After architectura' and other costs are paid, the re mainder will be used for equip ment.

Dryden, deputy administrator for the National Aeronautics and Space Administration, said. Dryden, in testimony to the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, pictured the missions as information-gathering for research work--not spying. He explained that NASA, in doing its job of research on improving aircraft development and operations, arranges to put instruments on planes, military and commercial.

He said it has "cooperated with foreign governments and airlines by lending instrumentation." "Now the pattern of operation with the commercial airlines and with the military has been the same throughout," Dryden continued.

Warning against a "black dictatorship." Verwoerd said a prosperous future can only be attained if two conditions are met. "The first is that white South Africa must continue to rule. The second is that we as whites must be prepared to work and work hard," he said. The Prime Minister called for a "union of hearts" between citizens of English and Dutch blood. Verwoerd held aloft a dove and said he was sending it "out into space as a symbol of the peace and prosperity which we wish all peoples on earth." The bird refused to fly and dropped to the ground.

Despite coaxing, it refused to bridge and was finally carried away. Elsewhere in South Africa demonstrations flared against Ver- woerd's apartheid policy.
