But France laughed and that spelled political disaster for Mendes-France, says Mr. Golden.

Roscoe rubbed some polish on the downtown Expressway con nector said there's "quite a pos sibility" that double-shifts even tually will be worked in order to speed completion.

They have to be quick, of course, to get there before the others Add to this fustest-with-the-mostest skirmishing the high cost of milk and you can almost see how the parents of a nation might wish some other beverage would come into vogue. Not gin or vodka or other alcoholic spirits, I hasten to say. They cost even more than milk and I imagine they're terrible on corn flakes or with cornbrcad crumbled up in them.

No, there ought to be a cheaper national beverage that would perform the same functions that we have come to expect of milk, from coloring that first cup of coffee in the morning to providing a cool, bland accompaniment to the bedtime snack. Some time ago a scientist was working on grass as a food for man. He thought highly of it as a source of all kinds of vitamins but I guess his problem was public acceptance. Nobody wanted to eat grass. Now grass juice pale, pale green, subtly flavored with whiffs of dandelion and clover? I don't know.

On the other hand, I can have a lot to do with contributing to peace on earth and good will toward others.

With God's help, I can learn to love and forgive others. I can also make a sustained effort to understand those who play the game of life by a different set of rules. Then, I can make a concentrated effort to be a good ambassador for God at home, at work, in my social life, as well as my private life, Millions of people were watching, waiting and praying for the success of this flight around the earth. Let the same millions join in prayer asking God to give us the wisdom to find our way safely through the jungle of fear and international confusion with the same success that Glenn liad on his orbital flight. It makes little difference how fast we travel, but we must give careful consideration as to the direction we travel.

We must never forget that the Source of our intelligence and existence is God. Unless the goal of our efforts is God, we labor, live, and travel in vain. my shoes and the radio announcer told us that Glenn was over the Pacific Ocean approaching the West Coast. Before Roscoe finished, Colonel Glenn was passing over Canaveral out into the Atlantic. "Roscoe," I remarked, "that was a slow shoe shine." "That was a fast trip the Colonel made," Roscoe replied.

It is amazing. Glenn made a trip around the earth in. less than 90 minutes, traveling over .17,000 miles an hour. We have learned to travel faster, but have we learned to live better? I expect Glenn traveled more miles in an hour than Jesus traveled in his 33 years on earth. No one is more proud to be an American than This is a miraculous feat for America and the free world.

No one could be more thrilled that we have, in part, conquered outer space. This flight brings a rather Ironic thought to my mind. We are likely to conquer outer space before we conquer inner space. That rings a tragic note. The tragedy does not in orbiting a man around the earth, but in the fact that we have not been able to master our inner fears and desires and we have failed to learn the secret of living together in peace with those at home as well as our neighbors abroad.

He gallantly saluted a line of sodden drum majorettes who stood at their own brand of attention, their hair plastered against their cheeks.

It was in the packed House chamber a the astronaut really hit his human stride.

the doorkeeper announced "Lt. Col. John H. Glenn of the United States Marine Corps," a thunder of applause crashed over him. When he got to the rostrum, the volume of cheers and whistles increased.

The colonel stood at ease, smiling, his hands behind his back. He spotted his astronaut colleagues in the third row, and motioned them laughingly to come forward and join him. His speech was one that could have been written by any junior information officer in the space administration. But only a man who came back from outer space and knows exactly where he stands could have carried off the introduction of the folks with which he interrupted his prepared remarks. "If my parents would stand up," he said.

The senior Glenn rose up and gave the boxer's salute, hands clasped over his head. His mother dabbed at her eyes. The astronaut introduced his mother-in-law and his father-in-law, his son David and his daughter Lynn. "And now I present to you the real rock in our family, my wife, Annie," said the earth-loving astronaut. Black-eyed Annie stood up to a standing ovation, and there was not a dry eye in the house.

There was so much emotion In the chamber that when CoL Glenn introduced the other astronauts, Sen. Russell, Democrat of Georgia, usually the most self-contained of men, leapt out of his chair to lead the applause. The astronaut could not find the associate director of Project Mercury, Walter Williams. "Is he here?" he asked unaffectedly, Several four-star generals immediately began tracking, and located him with wide waves in the gallery. Col.
