-The National Aeronautics and Space Administration's Mississippi Test Facility will stage an "Open House" for its employes, their families and community neighbors May 13-14, which will feature one of the most complete space hardware exhibits ever brought into this State. Hours for the open house at the national rocket testing range will be from 9 a. m. until 3 p.m. The open house coincides with the fourth anniversary of the cutting of the first tree which signalled the start of construction of the $300 million facility in May 1963.

Since that time the base has been virtually com. pleted and is now "operational" with a number of successful rocket tests under its belt. Although the open house is primarily for the space installation's government and contractor employes and their families, all persons interested in seeing the base and the space exhibits are invited. Guided tours will take visitors to the Saturn Test Complex where they will see test stands and other facilities used to check out the first two rocket stages of the Apollo- Saturn the space vehicle which will be used to land the first Americans on the moon. Visitors will also see flight versions of these two rockets in the test stands.

What are chances of running the Vietcong out of North Vietnam? Meaders said he did not know if we were ever going to be in a position for that sort of move; that millions of Red Chinese fighting men could be thrown into action by leaders who want to increase Red China's standard of living either through acquiring more land or reducing the population.

"I don't believe the'r leaders care too much how they accomplish it," said Meaders. He said he believed the present system of gradual encroachment was the more rea sonable action to push and see what happened, then apply more presure and wait for results. He compared the maneuver with that of a man who decides to take a foot of his neighbor's property at a time, moving the fence gradually rather than trying to seize it all at once. 'It is possible the poacher will get quile a bit of his neighbor's land but it is also possible the neighbor will shoot him." The Lions have their annual Ladies Night Friday night at Speed's Restaurant. There will be no regular luncheon meeting on that day.

Barney Menders told members of the Hattitesburg Lions Club there is plenty of ''hanky panky and sabotage" in North Vietnam as well as in South Vietnam because many residents of the north are lovers of freedom rather than of Communism. Meaders said that some years ago when the line was drawn dividing the country and people were given a choice of living In the north under Communism or in the south under entirely different cirsumstances, everybody moved to the area designated to fit his beliefs. The major, who is on the staff ef instructors of the ROTC program at USM, and who has served a hitch in South Vietnam, said that the sabotage in North Vietnam does not embrace the savagery condoned by the Viet-cong, but it is effective as a nuisance: such situations as salt in the drinking water, sugar in the gas tank, missing parts of motor vehicles. The speaker, emphasizing that his statements did not nec-efsarily reflect the views of the Army, the Department of Defense or the Department of State, said he hoped that in 10 or 15 or 20 years South Vietnam would be self sustaining; but that every American soldier arriving in Vietnam increases the commitment and reduces chances of an early withdrawal of United States forces. Meaders compared the situation with that of a man who becomes dependent on an automobile.

When he has never had one he does fine but after using one for an extended period be feels he can't manage with-Dut it. In this analogy the South Vietnamese are the driver and the Americans are the car. vice presidents; Mrs. G. C.
