Let's start the saga of Captain Virgil Griasoa - at th• Hague. A conference ot rocket experts fro■ all oyer the free •o~ld, breaking oft their discussion in the Dutch Capitol; crowdin1 around - the radio; li1tening to •••~l word - fro■ Cape Canaveral. Buratin1 into cheers at the news ol aucceaa. Br-itiab, French, Geraan and Dutch scientists slapping their ~••rican colleague• on th• back. Shaking hands - all around. A real vote of confidence for America. All because ot a ride that lasted - less than sixteen ■ inutes. Th• quarter of an hour - in the life of Q~s Grissom when he reached an altitude of a hundred and eighteen miles, roared through the sky at better than - five thousand miles an hour, and parachuted into the Atlantic_ three hundred miles do•n the missile range oft the Bahaaas. 1 preau■ e you all know about the dra■ atic ending to the flight. The capsule, landin& in the water - on schedule; then - blowing a hatch; ai n kina to the bottom ot the Atlantic. Cap't. Grisso ■, getting out - ju1t in ti ■•· But that wasn't an accident. Th• Air force Captain sa71 ht knew hia •Liberty. Bell Seven•••• going down. So ht slipped out of it - and awa ■ around until a helicopter picked hia up. Gus Grisso ■, joining Alan ~hepard - in the rank• of the American astronauts who have rocketed through apace. Their a c cbieve111nts aeaning that astronaut 'lU■ber three may go higher.and farther. May - orbit the earth. America's apace progra■ - moving forward, in high gear. ILL PRESIDENT KENNEDY HA TW BI~ ASONS TO REJOICE OVER• OUR SPACE PROGRAM.

This auaaer, there aee ■s to be a hex on beaut1 contests. Many of thea, producing so ■ e oddity. Like Miss Mississippi punching Mis1 Louisiana. And Miss accu•ed Universe, ••••• b7 the Reda - of being a propoganda stooge. The oddit1 this tiae - at the international beauty contest in Long Beach, ~alifornia. A rather attractive oddit7 - calling herself Miss Costa iica. Ibo, it see ■ a, can't 1peak Spaniab; baa no Costa lican passport; and doesn't know a thing about the Central Aaerican nation. Explanation - Miss Costa £ica i1 actually ieona Herz of Long Beach. Beona, discovering that Mia• Coata Bica was ill. Veciding - to take her place. And it worked. until the gal fro ■ Long Beach was asked a question in Spanish. Now, something from ~ick No e l - in lbgliah. 11!1 The rioting in Teheran is - pro-Mossadegh. Remember back in 19S2, the crying premier - Mohammed Mosaadegh, who nationalized the Iranian oil industry, and challaa d the Shah - forcing hia to flee into exilet The Shah returned when Mossadegh •a• overthrown by the arm,. Wossade&h - •••ping in jail. But tbe ex~preaier hadn't been forgotten. Oppo1ition movements almost always use hia - as a figure head; even when - ~ e•s not the real leader. The present situation isn't clear. But this time it's aaid that 01aadegh called the big rally in Teheran, that broken up by the police, touched otf thia - latest riot. Still a foraadabl• tigur• in Iranian politics - the aged •••ping Wosaadegh.
