The time for each xof the three planned orbits of the globe will be about 90 minutes. In brief, Glenn will spend most of his trip looking toward where he has been instead of where he is going. Glenn will be able to see the earth and stars through a "picture window" measuring 11 inches across the base and seven inches across the top.

It is 19 inches high. He will also have a periscope with which he can sweep the horizon in a 360-degree arc and a picture will appear on his screen before his face. Should something go wrong on the flight, a red light will appear on the instrument panel directly to his front and a buzzer will insistently claim his attention. There are some 20 things Glenn can do to save his life at various points along his route. These lifesaving devices can be activated from six of 18 ground tracking stations.

Once into orbit, Glenn is pretty safe, though his life support sys- tern must work perfectly. The capsule has two which can provide enough oxygen for 28 hours. When the time comes to land, Glenn will fire a package of braking rockets attached to the blunt end of the capsule. His speed will drop from 17,500 miles per hour lo 250 miles per hour in less than five minutes. After the braking rockets fire they, too, are jettisoned.

At 21,000 feet a small parachute is deployed to slow the space craft even more. At 10,000 feet, the 63-foot diameter main 'chute opens automatically (there are two in case one rips). If it doesn't work automatically Glenn can pop it out with a hand switch. Upon touchdown a small radio begins sending out a signal for the recovery ships to home upon. There is a small auxiliary unit in the cabin which Glenn can use in event the automatic device fails.

Tonight from 7:00 until 9:30 will be the annual "College Night" sponsored by the guidance department of Mt. Vernon Township High School. This event is planned as a special service to all juniors and seniors of Mt. Vernon and the surrounding area. Students and parents are in- sited to sit down with representatives of various colleges and to ask questions concerning higher education.

This year 20 colleges will have representatives in Mt. Vernon. Fifteen other schools, although unable to send representatives, have forwarded vast quantities of information for prospective students. The complete program for this year's Collegt; Night is as follows: Convene in auditorium at 7:00 p. m.

7:00 7:30 Welcome by Superintendent Eltis Henson. Distribution of materials and explanation by John Snodsmith, president of the student council. 7:30 8:00 Visitation to college of first choice. 8:00 8:30 Visitation to college of second choice. 8:30 8:45 Visitation to college of third choice.

That law committed the government to policies which would maintain "maximum employment production and purchasing pow er." Any doubts that Kennedy means business about his antirecession program, were dispelled by the serious and urgent, tone of the message. On the tax-cutting, the pump priming and jobless pay proposais he said: "They will constitute the greatest step forward in public policy for economic stability since the act itself." Prosperity In 1963 McLeansboro Friday FLIES OVER SECRET NATO MISSILE PAD (Continued from Page One) The prime goal for 1963 is a 4 per cent unemployment rate, Kennedy said.

He called this a "temporary target," one-third below the present 6.1 per cent rate of joblessness. With it, the President said, would come these record-breaking dollar measurements of prosperity: Sixty billion dollars of before- tax business profits, as against $46 billion last year and a hoped- for $56 billion this year Some $320 billion in wages and salaries, against $280 billion in 1961 About $600 billion worth of out-j put of goods and services, far above last year's $521 billion and this vear's anticipated S565 billion to $570 billion Kennedy stressed that while "the material gains are themselves staggering," as blueprinted by his report, his goal for to 5 per cent by the end of this year, 4 per cent by not the final objectives "We cannot afford to settle for any prescribed level of unemployment," the message said He replied to the outcry already- raised in Congress by the first mention of his standby tax and public work proposals in the State of the Union message The revenue loss would be smaller than what a recession costs in pay and production losses and shrunken tax collections, he said And Congress would write into the law gime of that country where he does not intend to return. "The pilot asked also not to be put into contact with Bulgarian diplomatic authorities in Italy "We are not yet in a position to express a final judgment on the nature of the episode, in which evidence has already been gathered of violation of Italian airspace. "We can state mat examination of the flight material, comprising photographic apparatus, including film, for making aerial surveys, and questioning of the pilot has brought evidence of a true case of aerial espionage. Future de velopments of the situation will be brought before public opinion." A Dfense Ministry spokesman said processing of both motion picture and still film was being done by North Atlantic Treaty Or ganization officers at Bari and that development would be completed by Tuesday morning He said the pilot probably would be brought to trial in Italy.

The young Bulgarian air force pilot, dragged in tears from his wrecked plane, asked not to be lumed over to Bulgarian consular officials, implying he was making a break for freedom Counter-intelligence agents were skeptical of his story and studied exposed film found in tiie Soviet- built MIG19. Officials pointed out that if he was defecting, he passed up several chances to land at Italian air fields before his plane crashed. The armed fighter made two low-level passes over the missile base at Gioia del new, closely guarded NATO installation slamming to the ground in a field Saturday only 2,000 yards from the base.

Car Hits Pole, Three Injured On Salem Road Three young Mt. Vemon men were injured, one seriously enough to require hospitalization, in an accident on the Salem Road, at Oak street, at 4:50 p. m. yesterday'.

Frank H. Wehmeyer, 18, of 1002 south 23rd street, spent the night at Good Samaritan Hospital but was able to be released this morning. Two passengers in the Wehmeyer car were able to be released after treatment. They were Charles Braddy, 18, and Richard Folsom, 18, of 1604 White street. Jerry Roney, 19, of 906 south 21st street, who was also a passenger in the Wehmeyer car, was not hurt.

Police said that Wehmeyer was driving north when a car driven by Irvin G. Hertenstein, 63, of the Salem Road, emerged from a driveway. They said that when Wehmeyer swerved to miss the Hertenstein car his car skidded on the icy shoulder of the road and broadside into a power pole, then caromed for several feet. Wehmeyer and Folson were thrown out of the car. Police charged Hertenstein with emerging from a driveway without due caution and he was fined $5 and costs.

The Wehmeyer car was damaged about $500. Don Forsyth And George Howard On Dem Committee CHAMPAIGN, 111.

Trading was moderate. Volume for the day was estimated at 4.1 million shares compared with 3.S million Friday. Gains and losses of fractions to i about a point were the rule or most key stocks.

Except for General Motors which held a fractional gain, Big Three auto stocks erased early advances and traded about unchanged. Some of the more volatile issues were off sharply. Xerox dropped about 4 and Zeniih around 2. International Business Machines cancelled an early rise of more than 3 and showed a net loss exceeding a point. South Puerto Rico Sugar erased a gain of about a point and was about unchanged.

Gains of about a point were held by Woolworth, Union Carbide and Amerada. In a mixed aerospace section, North Aviation was down about a point. United Aircraft traded more than a point higher. New York Central and Pennsylvania Railroad declined fraction' ally. Prices backed away from an early advance on the American Stock Exchange and displayed a mixed pattern.

Italian newspapers compared Sokalov to American spy pilot Francis Gary Powers whose U2 plane was downed over the Soviet Union in May 1960. That brought an international uproar which Premier Khrushchev used to wreck the Paris summit conference later. Powers was sentenced to 10 years' imprisonment on spy charges by a Soviet court, and one Rome newspaper urged today that the Italian government be just as severe with Solakov. Like Powers.
