Perpetual First Lady
The Literary Guidepest
By W. C. Rogers
Neatest Trick of the Week
She was a truly remarkable wom-
an and an intensely human being:.
Anna Eleanor Roosevelt, champion
of liberal causes and human rights,
philanthropist, devoted worker for
world peace, indefatigable traveler
and 'lecturer, columnist, letter writer,
author (where end the list?) has earn-
ed her rest.
Rest, in the sense of inaction, of not
campaigning for some cause she be-
lieved in, was alien to her during her
active life. Outspoken and controver-
sial during the 12 years she lived in
the White House, her career seemed to
take a new beginning upon the death
of Franklin I). Roosevelt in 1945—as
if her own light had caught fire from
that of her fallen husband.
She was. as she wrote at the end
of her autobiography, “now on my
bWn.”
f At an age when most men go grate-
fully to pasture, this woman became
a'delegate to the United Nations Gen-
eral Assembly ,embarked on a year-in
and year-out schedule of national and
international speaking tours (upwards
of 150 speeches a year), worked in or-
ganizations like the NAACP and
American Association for the United
Nations, all the while continuing her
perennial “My Day” newspaper col-
umn and every day answering at least
100 letters written to her from all over
the world.
Eleanor Roosevelt was born Oct.
11, 1884. Her father was Elliot Roose-
velt, younger brother of Theodore
Roosevelt, and her mother was a des-
cendant of one of the signers of the
Declaration of Independence. She was
orphaned at nine and brought up by
her grandmother.
Like the two other famous Roose-
velts, she faced and overcame a dis-
ability. For her uncle, it was a sickly
childhood. For her husband, a crip-
pling attack of polio in the prime of
life. For Eleanor Roosevelt, it was a
shyness and fear of public speaking,
compounded out of her lack of good
looks, a dominating mother-in-law, a
brilliant husband and the responsibil-
ities of a large family (four sons and
one daughter).
But it was partly her own hus-
band’s handicap that helped her over-
come her own. It was in the 1920s
that she began to take an active inter-
est in politics, encouraging her hus-
band to take up his broken political
career again and making the trips
which he could not undertake.
As First Lady, she broke one prece-
dent after another: holding the first
press conference by a president’s wife,
joining a labor union, driving her own
car and traveling by plane, campaign-
ing with her husband and attacking
fascism and isolation and racism
through her newspaper column and
radio appearances.
She was either loved or ridiculed,
and the latter was easy to do because
of her tremulous, high-pitched voice
and penchant for turning up in all
kinds of places, like a coal mine in
the 30’s or the staging area for the
Guadalcanal invasion in World War
II.
Eleanor Roosevelt outlived all the
caricatures and much of the opposition
to the social reforms she championed.
And her image will live on as a sym-
bol of the modern emancipated wom-
an. She was an international person-
ality, respected — and now missed—
around the world aimost as much as
Franklin Roosevelt.
It is not given to many women to
accomplish what she did. But if life
gave much to Eleanor Roosevelt in the
way of prestige and opportunities, the
favor was returned many-fold.
WE SEVEN. By the Astronauts. Simon &
Schuster. $6.50.
You’d think that after the millions of
words that have poured forth from all the
media of communications about the astro-
nauts, little would be left to say.
Yet this volume has a worthwhile place in
the chronicles of Project Mercury, as a col-
lection of first person stories about how the
seven men reacted to their training and their
missions.
. John H. Glenn leads off with the back-
ground information about his expeirence, se-
lection and early.training, followed by each of
the other six.
Then comes a section on the team aspects
of the training and flight programs, by Deke
Slayton, Gordon Cooper and Walter Schirra.
Glenn, Schirra and Scott Carpenter discuss
the equipment of the space capsules and
ground stations, after which Slayton, Carpen-
ter, Gus Grissom and Alan Shepard pile up
detailed descriptions of the many training
techniques that prepared the astronauts for
space, and Glenn talks about some of the
glitches (flaws) that had to be cleared up.
Shepard describes the first American sub-
orbital flight, and Grissom tne second, after
which Gleim, Carpenter and Shepard build
up the details — technical and psychological
—which surrounded the first orbital flights.
The book ends with graphic, running accounts
of the orbits of Glenn and Carpenter (Schir-
ra's came too late for press time).
The reader will be impressed not only
with the technical competence of these men,
but also with their balance, their devotion to
the over-all objectives of the project, and the
little touches that show how they let off steam
with jocdlar pranks and small jokes.
Glenn emerges as the dedicated, avuncular
type with a thorough grasp of every prob-
lem; Carpenter is perhaps the most artidulate
in desrribing the emotional and psychological
reactionsto space flight, and Schirra prob-
ably has the saltiest personality.
The book is a model of clarity in a field
where technical jargon might easily have
swamped the narrative. Naturally, its appeal
will be primarily to male leaders, but every-
one can find in it an inspiring narrative of
ultramodern pioneers.
* WASHINGTON COLUMN it
Soviet Record on Treaties—
Many Made, Few Honored
By PETER EDSON
Washington Correvpondent

Government Lifts
Veil of Secrecy
Washington, (NEA) — Great diplomatic care is being ex-
ercised to make it appeal- that any settlement of current dis-
putes between the free and Communist worlds is being handled
through the United Nations, with approval of the Warsaw Pact
countries on one side, the North Atlantic Treaty Organization
and the Organization of American States on the other.
Thej*e is no question, however, that President Kennedy
and Russian Chairman Nikita Khrushchev are the two principal
figures in the Cuba dispute or any settlement coming from it.
Washington experts do not hold to the theory that Khrush-
chev is a prisoner of his colleagues in the Kremlin, doing only
what they direct or npprove. He is believed to be making the
major Russian decisions himself, moving fast and shifting his
position whenever he sees an opening to exploit.
On the other hand, Kennedy made the decision to reject
Khrushchev’s offer to dismantle Cuban missile liases in exchange
for dismantling NATO missile bases in Turkey.
But the next acts in this world-wide drama will be on the
United Nations stages in New York. Any agreement for inspec-
tion to verify that Russian missile liases in Cuba have been dis-
mantled and shipped back to the Soviet will be a U. N. opera-
tion to which Russia and the United States must agree.
The question therefore arises as to how good any agree-
ment with the Russians on this specific issue will lie.
The same question arises with respect to the large nuclear
test ban and disarmament issues, accepted by both Kennedy
and Khrushchev as subjects for necessary negotiations.
In this connection, Stanford University Press has just pub-
lished a 600-page study on "The Theory, Law and Policy of
Soviet Treaties.” It is the work of Stanford political scientist
John F. Trisha and Johns Hopkins history lecturer Robert M.
Siusser. Under the sponsorship of the Herbert Hoover Institu-
tion at Stanford, the scholars have reviewed 2,500 international
agreements signed by Russia from 101 7 through 1957.
Here in summary are some of their findings relevant to
the present situation in which world peace is at stake:
“The greater the importance of a treaty and the more dit-
rectly it relates to long-run Soviet objectives, the poorer are

tion of Secretary of Defense
McNamara had been re-pro-
mulgated in a written directive
by Sylvester. All persons, in
high or low echelon, were re-
minded they must report to the
public information directorate
any conservations with any re-
porters unless public informa-
tion office monitors were pre-
sent during the conservations.
The State Department subse-
quently adopted a similar
policy.
3—Sylvester gave the inter-
views in which he said, in ef-
fect, that the use of news con-
trol is part of the "weaponry”
in cold war, that it enables the
government to speak with one
voice.
isyivester’s reported views
on control of news brought a
protest to him from Lee Hills,
^resident of the American So-
ciety r Newspaper Editors.
In reply, Sylvester insisted
that “contrary to some of the
editorials and c o 1 u m n ists I
have read, there has been no
distortion, no reception and no
manipulation of the news re-
leased by the Defense Depart-
ment during the Cuban crisis.”
He also said he was aware
of the people’s right to factual
information, but said that “in
a time of e x t r e m e national
peril there are other consider-
ations in addition to the news
business.”

on a “pond” outside his of-

He didn't get any ducks, but

Faber used the decoys to

weeks later, the city of Miami
installed a newer, and larger
