elements in which they opera-

Yet both contributed to tech-
nologies that extended beyond
their limitations. To the nations
that mastered those technolo-
gies, it lent a power to extend
themselves beyond the oceans,
beyond the air, beyond the
earth.
Man began to use his
knowledge of the air to develop
a new kind of engine, a rocket
engine that could deliver its
power in a vacuum as well as in
the air. No longer did he have to
rely on a machine that would
drag him through a medium
like air, or over a medium like
the sea.
Now be has giant rockets, like
the Saturn 5, with its five first-
stage engines consuming 15 tons
of fuel per second, 900 tons a
minute. It expends its energy
for a very short period of time
under very accurately con-
trolled conditions, and then you
are in orbit.
which now stretches from Jeff
Davis County on the Rio Grande
east to Uvalde in the Hill coun-
try.
In the Panhandle and North
Texas, Sens. Jack Hightower,
Vernon, and Andy Rogers, Chil-
dress, are battling with High-
tower claiming "big city" sup-
port in Wichita Falls and Ver-
non, and Rogers claiming the
Plains cities. James Ray, Hale
Center, former congressional
aide, is a third Democratic can-
didate for Dist. 30.
Sens. Cul, Krueger, El Cam-
po, and Bill Patman, Ganado,
are locked in an active, well
financed campaign for Dist. 18
on the central Gulf coast.
Dallas' Democratic Senate
contest for Dist. 23 follows
state party faction lines with
David Ivy claiming that Oscar
Mauzy is one of the "labor
liberals" trying to take party
control from Gov. John Co to-
nally. Gene Guinn is the third
candidate.
Another “personalities”
campaign is underway for Dist.
10 in Fort Worth, where Sen.
Don Kennard faces Doyle
Willis, former senator defeated
by Kennard in 1962.
Houston has three complicated
senatorial races, at timesi mix-
ed with a torrid county chair-
man compaign and bipartisan
congressional issues. Two con-
servative-minded state repre-
sentatives, W.H. Miller and Don
Garrison, are battling for the
Democratic nomination in Dist.
15, a strong GOP area, and the
right to meet Rep. Henry Grov-
er, former Democrat turned Re-
publican. Mrs. David Mendell is
a third Democratic candidate.
Two liberal-minded candidates,
state Rep. J. C. Whitfield and
Barbara Jordon, a Negro attor-
ney, are fighting for the Demo-
cratic nomination in Dist. 11,
which contains heavy Negro vot-
ing strength. Chet Brooks and
John Ray Harrison, presently
state representatives, are oppo-
nents ip Diet. 7 centering on
Pasadena.
San Antonio has two hot sena-
torial races. In Diet. 19 V. E.

tive and professed retired gam-
bler, is apposing Sam Jorrle,
owner of a chain at furniture

Then you ore no langur limit-
ed by the boundaries of other
nations, for those boundaries
don’t extend into space. You are
now not limited by the running
of an engine, or a fuel supply
for it once you are in space.
For the first time you are
dealing with something very
different when you master this
environment, than when you
mastered the others.
Yet this fundamental differ-
ence has to be related to the
previous history of the ship and
the plane, of the oceans and the
air.
The question that arises is
this; In terms of national pow-
er, is there going to be a real
contest for the control of this
new environment? Is there
going to be a shared mastery or
an effort at domination?
The danger is clear in having
such a very great power availa-
ble to only one nation, and espe-
cially to the Communist nations
who have a strong, determined
drive to dominate the world, to
enforce their views on others.
Crash
PARIS (AP) — A movie
whose hero is a Spanish under-
ground leader was turned down
today by the Cannes Film Festi-
val selection board.
Film industry sources said the
board decision was taken to
avoid offending the Spanish gov-
ernment, which has two films
entered in next month's festival.
Turned down was"LaGuerre
Est Finie,” a French-Swedish
production starring Yves Mon-
tand and Ingrid Thulin. Mon-
tand plays a rebel leader bat-
tling the regime of Spanish
Chief of State Francisco
Franco.
vived the crash of the airliner
carrying 98 passengers and
crewmen.
Pigman, 59, founder, owner
and president of the Texas-
based charter service, was pi-
loting the ill-fated aircraft, an
associate said “because he usu-
ally did fly when needed like
that."
Pigman apparently chose to
handle the flight personally to
help relieve a temporary man-
power shortage.
"He loved flying so much,”
said Mrs. Ruby Hickman of Fort
Worth, Tex., public relations di-
rector of the airlines and a
close friend and confidant erf
Pigman.
Pigman founded the airline
on a shoestring in 1939, started
an airline pilot training school
and by 1965 his enterprises re-
portedly were reaping $T5 mil-
lion annually.
A pioneer in instrument fly-
ing, he was "known all over the
world as one of the foremost
aviation authorities”, collea-
gues said.

few months. Ordinarily we
would not give space to a com-
munication of this kind, but we
think the people of this county
should know who was actually
at the bottom of the slander cam-
paign. Mr. Cook admits it - he
is the man who called in the
Amarillo paper.
So, while several thousand
people have been cussing the

better turn their attention to
Mr. Cook - we wonder if he
can prove anything he has inti-

Like Mrs. Jones’’it will pay you to be curious. You’ll
find electric cooking is fast because all the heat goes
into the pan to cook the food not the cook. You’ll find
electric cooking is clean. Electric elements clean them-
selves ... your walls and woodwork stay clean and
bright. And, you’ll find that electricity is gentle and
accurate . .. foods cook perfectly every time.
