Glenn Jr. and Comdr. Malcolm S. Carpenter are running neck-and-neck in the race for the job of prime astronaut in America's first manned orbital flight, informed sources said today. Cmdr. Alan B. Shepard Jr. definitely is out of the race, the sources said. Shepard rode the first Redstone rocket on a 300-mile suborbital trip last May 5. Glenn, a aMrine, was backup astronaut for Shepard and Capt. Virgil I. Grissom on their suborbital flights. The American Broadcasting Co. reported Thursday that Glenn had been designated prime astronaut for the first manned orbital flight. The network said Carpenter had been chosen as backup astronaut. Sources at Cape Canaveral said Robert R. Project Mercury director, is expected to name the prime astronaut and his backup after an launching next week of a chimpanzee in a three-orbit mission, unless the chimp shot is outright failure. The National Aeronautics and Space Administration is urgently striving for a manned orbital shot before the end of this year. Ike Hits Of Extremists NEW YORK (AP) Former President Dwight D.

President Joaquin Balaguer proclaimed a dusk-to-dawn curfew after the most violent rioting since assassination removed Dictator Rafael L. Trujillo's iron control and started the nation on the heady path of liberty. The troops cleared the streets of the capital and patrolled through the night amid fears of continuing new outbursts of vengeance against the Trujillos, all of whom have now fled the island. The city changed Thursday from Ciudad to its ancient name of Santo Domingo by tense. Explosions crackled throughout the night. But there were few persons on the streets and it appeared the bombs were set off by troops as a warning to vandals. Tanks and Vampire jet planes were called out to put down the rioters. Soldier patrols removed all weapons and bullets from gun stores. The president blamed the violence on the Communists. The ransacking of properties owned by the Trujillos, who ran this Caribbean nation as a private preserve for 31 years, came as the last members of the family fled into exile. FAMED AMELIA Possible Remains Of Aviatrix Found UNITED NATIONS, N.Y. -A of the Domini-cah feenied charges that U.S. had violated Dominican territorial He said the U.S. ships had neither invaded Dominican waters nor threatened to invade. GUAM remains of two bodies, possibly those of famed American aviatrix Amelia Earhart and her navigator, Fred Noonan, who disappeared over the Pacific an around-the- flight in 1937, were found ecently in a grave on Saipan it was disclosed today. The remains, including dental plates and bones discovered in September, were in a box being flown today to the University of California at Berkeley for anthropological study. Willis Snyder, Pan American Airways district manager at Guam, related that those who recovered the remains SEud they included dental plates. The plates and bones were being sent to Dr. Theodore D. Mc-Cown, professor of anthropology at the University of California, for study. At Berkeley, Dr. McCown said he had been informed of the discovery, but knew nothing about the bones or dental plates. In Medford, Mass., Mrs. Albert Morrissey, Amelia's sister said she had been advised of the Guam finding but expressed little confidence that it was that of her sister. Mrs. Morrissey said no dental chart on Amelia Earhart exists. She said an existing chart on Noonan might shed some light on the identity of the remains of the two bodies. Discovery of the skeletal remains may be the first tangible clues as to what happened to Miss and alter they were last heard from by raidio July 2, 1937, as they were flying the Pacific.

L. McBride, ASC office manager. The last day applications can be accepted in Dec. 1. Most of the 1278 wheat producers in the county who have not signed for participation are the farmers, Mr. McBride said. He pointed out that some farmers have an erroneous idea that cutting down their wheat acreage constitutes compliance. "There are two main requirements for benefit he said. "First, the required acreage must foe deducted from the allotment, and, second, the diverted acreage must be devoted to approved conservation uses." Mr. McBride also that the old privileges do not apply under the new program. This means that a farmer who has not planted any wheat during the past three years is not eligible to participate in the program. Furthermore, any wheat he harvests in 1962 will be subject to penalties. Oher deadline dates were an nounced by Mr. McBride as follows: Last day to file for new-grower cotton acreage Feb. 16, 1962. Last Day to 1962 cotton allotment April 13, 1962. Last day to apply for released allotment April 13, 1962. Last day to re-apportion the released acreage April 1962. WASHINGTON (AP) The last of the three is undergoing a face-lifting in many high schools. Instead of concentrating on such things as logarithms, elaborate factoring, and proving solid geometry, many youngsters are spending part of their time on something called "new mathematics." It includes such items as "additive identity," "additive inverse" and the "communative property of addition." Introduction of what some call "new mathematics" has up arguments among educators about its value. In its Dr. G. Price, chairman of the department of mathematics at the University of Kansas, says: "The technological revolution now in progress requires that new mathematics be taught in our schools, that the emphasis be shifted in the teaching of many subjects already included in our mathematics courses, and that we increase the production of m'athe-maticians and mathematics teachers." Crash Victim's Funeral Held FREDERICK, services were held here Friday afternoon for Billy Joe Defoor, 20, of Davidson who was killed in a traffic accident here Thursday. Roland Doze of Frederick, also was killed and two other youths, Don Defoor, brother of Billy Joe, were riously injured. Mr. and Mrs. Ed Studdard of Vernon are grandparents of the Defoor brothers.

Low tonight to 50. High in .70s. In opposition is Dr. Morris Kline, director of the division of electromagnetic research of the New York University Institute of Mathematical Sciences. He says: "The problem is not that our curriculum is outmoded, but that we have done a very bad job of presenting the material we have taught." Changes may be Dr. Kline But "511 talk about modem society's requiring a totally new kind of mathematics is sheer nonsense." The case for the new is presented in a manual entitled "The Revolution in School Mathematics" published Thursday by the National Council of Teachers of Mathematics, a division of the National Education Association. Dr. Price is one of the authors. plane, was found in Saipan harbor last year. Many theories were advanced as to the flyers fate. The latest version, those who recovered the remains, was that the generator on Miss Ear-hart's twin-engine plane broke down as she landed at Yap. A new generator was installed and the plane hopped to where she and Noonan were imprisoned by the Japanese. It was said Miss Earhart died of dysentery and Noonan was shot to death. Other theories were that both were shot by the Japanese because they might have observed Japanese fortifying the island preparatory to World War II. This theory, however, was denied by Jesus de Leon ranking police inspector at Saipan when Miss Earhart disappeared 1937. Guerrero said a woman hanged as a spy was born in Los Page U. S. Willing To Sell Food To Yugoslavia WASHINGTON (AP) The United States says it is willing to arrange to sell more surplus food to Yugoslavia. Belgrade sources said Thursday that Washington had agreed to the sale of another 500,000 tons of wheat asked by President Tito. He said the grain was badly needed because of Yugoslav crop failures. But the State Department said Thursday night the two governments still are discussing terms of the deal and the amount of farm commodities to be sold. "This action represents a continuation of the practice of supplying agricultural commodities to Yugoslavia which began U years ago," the State Department said. It added that the arrangements come under a law which permits sale of surplus commodities for local currencies which are then loaned back or given as grants to the government making the purchase. The Tito government had considered the delay in the sale as economic pressure on Yugoslavia because of its policies. Tito charged in a Nov. 13 speech that "some capitalists and other reactionary people in America stubbornly lead the propaganda against Yugoslavia and say that aid Yugoslavia should be stopped." Several U.S. groups and some members of Congress have expressed strong opposition to further dealings with Tito. Surplus American food sold to Yugoslavia earlier this year included 500,000 tons of wheat. Finn Hold Meet In Secret MOSCOW (AP Premier Khrushchev told Finnish President Urho Kekkonen today the Soviet Union "can no longer regard the north of Europe as an area of peace and tranquility" because of the activity of West German military leaders. He declared it is essential to take measures "before it is too late." Khrushchev and Kekkonen conferred in a cottage at remote Novosibirsk in Siberia where Kekkonen sought direct word from Khrushchev on what is behind his demand for military consultations with the little north European country. The result of his talks was still a guarded secret. The atmosphere in diplomatic circles, fearful that Finland's neutrality might be menaced by a Soviet demand for military bases, was brightened somewhat by a joint communique issued after the conference. It said the talks were held "in a spirit of open-mindedness, mutual understanding sincere confidence." The communique said the two leaders met in "a hearty and friendly atmosphere." But a report by Tass, official Soviet news agency, on Khrushchev's speech at a luncheon given for Kekkonen immediately after the talks, emphasized that Khrushchev has not changed his mind since consultations were demanded on Oct. 30. "Finland's neutrality is an important of the preservation of peace and tranquility" in the Baltic area, he adding that the Soviet considers it necessary to take measure? "before it is too late for curbing the West German militarists and revanchists." He said Russia was convinced that Norway and Denmark, by cooperating Vvith West Germany in the North Atlantic Treaty Organization, were undermining their own security and bringing "the on the part of German militarists and revanchists closer to the shores of Finland and the Soviet Union." He said Norway and Denmark continued to view their military ties with West Germany 'through rose-tinted glasses" despite the dangers pointed out by the Soviet Union. West German Defense Minister Franz Josef Strauss' visits to Norway and Denmark to discuss military questions, and plans to set up a joint Danish-West German military command, he added, "bear a strong resemblance to a military demonstration of a kind." The situation, he declared, calls for "further consolidation of all-round cooperation" between Finland and Soviet Russia, and demands "firm confidence" that Finland will continue a policy of friendly relations with Moscow. He voiced the suspicion that right-wing Finnish groups, including the former Social Democrat (See Page 2) BUT SLIM Governor Still Son MERAUKE, New Guinea (AP) Nelson A.

Rockefeller was expected to there and to leave New York Monday.)

Gov. Rockefeller flew over the tangled vegetation for a personal search of the area less than an hour after arriving in Merauke Tuesday. He and his daughter Mary Strawbridge, Michael's twin, studied the terrain in obvious dismay as the DC3 covered the coast from the village of Merauke to the village of Agats. The governor and his daughter traded a pair of 50-power binoculars back and forth as the plane dropped down to feet over the jungle. Occasionally one would make a remark, but mostly they were silent.

Once, over a native village half a mile inland, the governor told his daughter: had gone in anywhere around here, he would have made his way to that village." Dutch New Guinea's land mass stretches flat to the horizon and all of it is covered with a thick matting of stubby mangrove trees. Broad rivers cut the shore and into each thick muddy streams. Parts of the coast have narrow sand beaches, but in most places the dirty green mangrove grows down to the water's edge. Dutch officials claim a man could exist for weeks in this jungle without getting word out or being spotted. There is no way of searching thoroughly except by the bush-by-bush method. Guarding the jungle from the sea is a 300yard-wide mud bank. Crocodiles laze in the mud the shore. Outside the mud, sharks, some 20 feet patrol the shallow water. Residents say the sharks are unpredictable and sometimes do not disturb swimmers, but there aren't many take a

But there were few persons on the streets and it appeared the bombs were set off by troops as a warning to vandals. Tanks and Vampire jet planes were called out to put down the rioters. Soldier patrols removed all weapons and bullets from gun stores. The president blamed the violence on the Communists. The ransacking of properties owned by the Trujillos, who ran this Caribbean nation as a private preserve for 31 years, came as the last members of the family fled into exile. FAMED AMELIA Possible Remains Of Aviatrix Found UNITED NATIONS, N.Y. -A of the Domini-cah feenied charges that U.S. had violated Dominican territorial He said the U.S. ships had neither invaded Dominican waters nor threatened to invade. GUAM remains of two bodies, possibly those of famed American aviatrix Amelia Earhart and her navigator, Fred Noonan, who disappeared over the Pacific an around-the- flight in 1937, were found ecently in a grave on Saipan it was disclosed today. The remains, including dental plates and bones discovered in September, were in a box being flown today to the University of California at Berkeley for anthropological study. Willis Snyder, Pan American Airways district manager at Guam, related that those who recovered the remains SEud they included dental plates. The plates and bones were being sent to Dr. Theodore D. Mc-Cown, professor of anthropology at the University of California, for study. At Berkeley, Dr. McCown said he had been informed of the discovery, but knew nothing about the bones or dental plates. In Medford, Mass., Mrs. Albert Morrissey, Amelia's sister said she had been advised of the Guam finding but expressed little confidence that it was that of her sister. Mrs. Morrissey said no dental chart on Amelia Earhart exists. She said an existing chart on Noonan might shed some light on the identity of the remains of the two bodies. Discovery of the skeletal remains may be the first tangible clues as to what happened to Miss and alter they were last heard from by raidio July 2, 1937, as they were flying the Pacific.

L. McBride, ASC office manager. The last day applications can be accepted in Dec. 1. Most of the 1278 wheat producers in the county who have not signed for participation are the farmers, Mr. McBride said. He pointed out that some farmers have an erroneous idea that cutting down their wheat acreage constitutes compliance. "There are two main requirements for benefit he said. "First, the required acreage must foe deducted from the allotment, and, second, the diverted acreage must be devoted to approved conservation uses." Mr. McBride also that the old privileges do not apply under the new program. This means that a farmer who has not planted any wheat during the past three years is not eligible to participate in the program. Furthermore, any wheat he harvests in 1962 will be subject to penalties. Oher deadline dates were an nounced by Mr. McBride as follows: Last day to file for new-grower cotton acreage Feb. 16, 1962. Last Day to 1962 cotton allotment April 13, 1962. Last day to apply for released allotment April 13, 1962. Last day to re-apportion the released acreage April 1962. WASHINGTON (AP) The last of the three is undergoing a face-lifting in many high schools. Instead of concentrating on such things as logarithms, elaborate factoring, and proving solid geometry, many youngsters are spending part of their time on something called "new mathematics." It includes such items as "additive identity," "additive inverse" and the "communative property of addition." Introduction of what some call "new mathematics" has up arguments among educators about its value. In its Dr. G. Price, chairman of the department of mathematics at the University of Kansas, says: "The technological revolution now in progress requires that new mathematics be taught in our schools, that the emphasis be shifted in the teaching of many subjects already included in our mathematics courses, and that we increase the production of m'athe-maticians and mathematics teachers." Crash Victim's Funeral Held FREDERICK, services were held here Friday afternoon for Billy Joe Defoor, 20, of Davidson who was killed in a traffic accident here Thursday. Roland Doze of Frederick, also was killed and two other youths, Don Defoor, brother of Billy Joe, were riously injured. Mr. and Mrs. Ed Studdard of Vernon are grandparents of the Defoor brothers.

Low tonight to 50. High in .70s. In opposition is Dr. Morris Kline, director of the division of electromagnetic research of the New York University Institute of Mathematical Sciences. He says: "The problem is not that our curriculum is outmoded, but that we have done a very bad job of presenting the material we have taught." Changes may be Dr. Kline But "511 talk about modem society's requiring a totally new kind of mathematics is sheer nonsense." The case for the new is presented in a manual entitled "The Revolution in School Mathematics" published Thursday by the National Council of Teachers of Mathematics, a division of the National Education Association.

The latest version, those who recovered the remains, was that the generator on Miss Ear-hart's twin-engine plane broke down as she landed at Yap. A new generator was installed and the plane hopped to where she and Noonan were imprisoned by the Japanese. It was said Miss Earhart died of dysentery and Noonan was shot to death. Other theories were that both were shot by the Japanese because they might have observed Japanese fortifying the island preparatory to World War II. This theory, however, was denied by Jesus de Leon ranking police inspector at Saipan when Miss Earhart disappeared 1937. Guerrero said a woman hanged as a spy was born in Los Page U. S. Willing To Sell Food To Yugoslavia WASHINGTON (AP) The United States says it is willing to arrange to sell more surplus food to Yugoslavia. Belgrade sources said Thursday that Washington had agreed to the sale of another 500,000 tons of wheat asked by President Tito. He said the grain was badly needed because of Yugoslav crop failures. But the State Department said Thursday night the two governments still are discussing terms of the deal and the amount of farm commodities to be sold. "This action represents a continuation of the practice of supplying agricultural commodities to Yugoslavia which began U years ago," the State Department said. It added that the arrangements come under a law which permits sale of surplus commodities for local currencies which are then loaned back or given as grants to the government making the purchase. The Tito government had considered the delay in the sale as economic pressure on Yugoslavia because of its policies. Tito charged in a Nov. 13 speech that "some capitalists and other reactionary people in America stubbornly lead the propaganda against Yugoslavia and say that aid Yugoslavia should be stopped." Several U.S. groups and some members of Congress have expressed strong opposition to further dealings with Tito. Surplus American food sold to Yugoslavia earlier this year included 500,000 tons of wheat. Finn Hold Meet In Secret MOSCOW (AP Premier Khrushchev told Finnish President Urho Kekkonen today the Soviet Union "can no longer regard the north of Europe as an area of peace and tranquility" because of the activity of West German military leaders. He declared it is essential to take measures "before it is too late." Khrushchev and Kekkonen conferred in a cottage at remote Novosibirsk in Siberia where Kekkonen sought direct word from Khrushchev on what is behind his demand for military consultations with the little north European country. The result of his talks was still a guarded secret. The atmosphere in diplomatic circles, fearful that Finland's neutrality might be menaced by a Soviet demand for military bases, was brightened somewhat by a joint communique issued after the conference. It said the talks were held "in a spirit of open-mindedness, mutual understanding sincere confidence." The communique said the two leaders met in "a hearty and friendly atmosphere." But a report by Tass, official Soviet news agency, on Khrushchev's speech at a luncheon given for Kekkonen immediately after the talks, emphasized that Khrushchev has not changed his mind since consultations were demanded on Oct. 30. "Finland's neutrality is an important of the preservation of peace and tranquility" in the Baltic area, he adding that the Soviet considers it necessary to take measure? "before it is too late for curbing the West German militarists and revanchists." He said Russia was convinced that Norway and Denmark, by cooperating Vvith West Germany in the North Atlantic Treaty Organization, were undermining their own security and bringing "the on the part of German militarists and revanchists closer to the shores of Finland and the Soviet Union." He said Norway and Denmark continued to view their military ties with West Germany 'through rose-tinted glasses" despite the dangers pointed out by the Soviet Union. West German Defense Minister Franz Josef Strauss' visits to Norway and Denmark to discuss military questions, and plans to set up a joint Danish-West German military command, he added, "bear a strong resemblance to a military demonstration of a kind." The situation, he declared, calls for "further consolidation of all-round cooperation" between Finland and Soviet Russia, and demands "firm confidence" that Finland will continue a policy of friendly relations with Moscow. He voiced the suspicion that right-wing Finnish groups, including the former Social Democrat (See Page 2) BUT SLIM Governor Still Son MERAUKE, New Guinea (AP) Nelson A.

But the New York governor indicated the of his son's survival were slim', saying: "I am a realist and I know what he faces if he reached that jungle." capital of Dutch New Guinea, said year-old brother would be found Gov. Rockefeller was expected to there and to leave New York Monday.) Michael set out to swim more than two miles through shark-infested waters for shore after his catamaran raft capsized last weekend in treacherous currents off the wild jungle coast. No trace of him has been found. (A dispatch from Hollandia, The governor and his daughte Mary rushed by plane from New York to in the search. ging to hope, the governor said: "We want to be on hand to move at a moment's notice." Gov. Rockefeller flew over the tangled vegetation for a personal search of the area less than an hour after arriving in Merauke Tuesday. He and his daughter Mary Strawbridge, Michael's twin, studied the terrain in obvious dismay as the DC3 covered the coast from the village of Merauke to the village of Agats. The governor and his daughter traded a pair of 50-power binoculars back and forth as the plane dropped down to feet over the jungle. Occasionally one would make a remark, but mostly they were silent. Most often the governor appeared to be reassuring whose 23- was obviously shaken by the air tour. Once, over a native village half a mile inland, the governor told his daughter: had gone in anywhere around here, he would have made his way to that village." Dutch New Guinea's land mass stretches flat to the horizon and all of it is covered with a thick matting of stubby mangrove trees. Broad rivers cut the shore and into each thick muddy streams. Parts of the coast have narrow sand beaches, but in most places the dirty green mangrove grows down to the water's edge. Dutch officials claim a man could exist for weeks in this jungle without getting word out or being spotted. There is no way of searching thoroughly except by the bush-by-bush method. Guarding the jungle from the sea is a 300yard-wide mud bank. Crocodiles laze in the mud the shore. Outside the mud, sharks, some 20 feet patrol the shallow water. Residents say the sharks are unpredictable and sometimes do not disturb swimmers, but there aren't many take a |
