When British Guiana's far-leftist Premier Cheddi Jagan called on President Kennedy last fall, asking for $60 million he didn't get, he represented himself as a neutralist-type democrat who believes in friendship with both East and West. Last week Jagan faced a three-man commission sent by London to investigate last February's anti-Jagan riots in the British colony perched on South America's northeast coast. The commission's report may well affect Britain's decision on whether it should grant independence this year, and whether Jagan is the man...
...system will use different tactics. When the spaceship approaches the moon, it will burn a small amount of fuel in its retrorockets and nudge itself into an orbit about 100 miles above the lunar surface. Then, instead of descending, it will detach a small "bug" containing two of its three-man crew. The bug will have rocket engines, a communication system and a modest supply of fuel as well as "biological support" to keep the crew alive. After it separates from the orbiting spaceship, a brief burst from its engines will put it into an elliptical orbit that swoops down...
...great advantage of LOR comes from weight-and fuel-saving at the moon end of the trip. A three-man spaceship capable of landing on the moon with enough fuel left to take off again and propel itself back to the earth, will have to weigh somewhere in the vicinity of 100,000 Ibs. The landing bug will be much smaller, probably weighing only 25,000 Ibs.. because it will not carry all the fuel, supplies and equipment for the full trip back to earth. Less fuel will be needed to land it on the moon and take...
...Paine Hall, G. Wallace Woodworth, James Edward Ditson Professor of Music, will moderate a three-man panel on the status of that art today. At the same time, but in a different place (Lowell Lecture Hall, or Burr B in case of rain) a distinguished group of scientists will define the role of science in U.S. policy...
...President met in the green-carpeted Cabinet Room with what New Frontiersmen call the "quadriad" of Administration economic thinkers: Treasury Secretary Douglas Dillon, Federal Reserve Chairman William McChesney Martin, Budget Director David E. Bell and Walter W. Heller, chairman of the President's three-man Council of Economic Advisers. Also present were officials from the Commerce Department and the Securities and Exchange Commission. What should be done? One possibility, quickly rejected, was to lower the margin requirement (the percentage of cash that a buyer has to put up to buy stocks) from the present 70%. The consensus was that...
