for it.

An interesting and exciting
comparison is made between
the first Industrial Revolution
and the process of automation
which is taking place today—
the new sociotechnical revolu-
tion of the 20th century.

This brings sharply into
focus that capitalism was born
during the first Industrial Rev-
olution with all the consequent
pains of birth and will come
to its end in this new phase
of technical and scientific de-
velopment. Automation as it
develops will have a profeund
effect on the pattern of our
lives Bernal says.

In terms of higher educa-
tion, the old chestnut prought
out years ago was that only
one percent of the population
was capable of a higher edu-
cation. During the Second
World War, it was believed
that only three percent had
that capability. Now it is gen-
erally accepted that four per-
cent is capable. Practice, in
the USSR, the USA and China,
however, has disproved this
myth of an “hereditary elite.”

Bernal’s approach to the
“population explosion,’ so
much in the current headlines,
is that we need not fear the
growth of mankind, that all
the conditions exist to grow
more food, that much of the
resources of the world still re-
main unexplored: ‘Resources
exist only when you know

how to use them.”

What Kind of Person Is He?

By MARION AND MARK
FRANK
P.T. Correspondents
HAT kind of a person is
Yuri Gagarin—27-year-
old cosmonaut? Today I listen-
ed to him explain that he was
an ordinary Soviet person. He
said that before the revolution
his parents and grandparents
were peasants on the land and
that they had. absolutely no
relationship to any princes or
counts, as he had heard was
being rumored in the United
States of America.

Indeed he is an ordinary
person but, with all, a Soviet
person growing up to under-
stand that his is a socialist so-
ciety and that he is part of it.
He has all the charm and like-
ability of a youngster who is
full of life and enthusiasm. He
is ordinary in the sense that
he has lived the kind of life
many a Soviet young person
has, with school and technical
training, and with further
study joining clubs in subjects
which especially interested
them. In his case it was fly-
ing.

The first Soviet cosmonaut
said that he heard Konstantin
Tsiolkovsky’s name for the
first time while still at the
technical college and vocation-
al school. “We all revered his
name. We studied his works.
I am able to say that in his
book ‘Outside the Earth’ Tsiol-
kovsky clearly predicted ev-
erything I, myself, had a
chance to. see during the
flight. As no one before, Tsiol-
kovsky clearly envisaged the
world as it opens to man who
rises into space.”

ship, Major Gagarin says, “I
had a-feeling of great satisfac-
tion. I was happy.and proud

on this space flight. At the
same time I felt great respon-
sibility for the. flight into
space with its many riddles. I
felt proud for our people who
were able to create powerful
spaceships capable of project-
ing a man into outer space.”
Concerning his future plans,
the cosmonaut said: “I want
to dedicate my life, my work,
everything I have to the new
science which concerns itself
with the conquest of outer
space. I should like to go to
Venus, to see what is hidden
beneath her clouds, I should
like to see Mars and prove for
myself whether it has canals,
after all, the moon is our next
door neighbor. I believe that
we won't have long to wait
before flying towards the
moon or to land on the moon.”
Yuri Gagarin described as
the most significant event of

his life before the flight into,
space, his entry last summer|
into the Communist Party of|
the Soviet Union. This was the!
biggest and brightest event in|
his life before his entry into}
space, Gagarin said, and add-|
ed that he dedicated his flight |
to the CPSU, the Soviet gov-
ernment, the 22nd Congress. of
the Party and to the entire
people who are marching
ahead of mankind and build-
ing a new society.

Speaking about his favorite
literary heroes and writers,
Yuri Gagarin said: “I like
many writers both Soviet and
classics. I love to read Chekov,
Tolstoy, Pushkin, Polevoy.

The literary hero who appeal-

: son

ed me best since my childhood
was the hero of Boris Pole-
voy’s book “The Story of a
Real: Man.”

“IT have also read Jules
Verne,” he said. ‘Of course he
is a most interesting writer
but as we have seen in reality
things turned out not as they
did in his imagination.”

Yuri Gagarin noted that he
had read letters from people
asking to be sent into outer
space. ‘‘All of them were writ-
ten from an open heart. I re-
gret, of course, that they could
not make the flight but I am

sure there will be a time when ~

round the earth journeys will
be made on tickets distributed.
by trade unions.”
