The doll is a male figure, fully jointed to en- able it to assume war-like posi- tions. Advertising is budgeted at $2 million and TV coverage has already started, using real news clips from World War Il. The Voice of Women has launched a national campaign on Christmas war toys against buying war toys for Christmas. Acting on the theory that the stores will not stock toys that do not sell, the VOW is planning a campaign to edu- cate parents against these toys. “Can we expect war toys to equip the coming generation for the difficult task of building a secure world?” asks Marjorie Lawrence, national chairman of the VOW War Toys Committee. 1 more, TRAVEL ENJOY A RUSSIAN WINTER.

This was the dramatic idea to come from a press conference Oct. 21 with Russia’s space triplets who manned the spaceship Voskhod (Sunrise). As every newspaper reader, TV watcher or radio listener knows by now, the crew that rede the Voskhod wore no space suits and landed intact, without a scratch, inside the craft itself. The Voskhod was the first of a new series of space flights. The next spaceship will carry several crew members, Mstis- lav Keldysh, president of the Soviet Academy of Sciences, told’ reporters. Col. Vladimir Komarov, pilot of the Voskhod, said he had un- dergone extensive training, but the other two crew members, scientists Konstantin Feoktis- tov and Dr. Boris Yegorov, un- derwent less. So there does seem to be a chance for us. - Keldysh indicated it would be a real victory for science when astronomers make the trip up and are able to train their tele- scopes on the solar system. Ob- viously. the more crew members a spaceship can carry, the great- er the scientific results the flight can achieve. This was emphasized by the’ Voskhod crew. The fact there were three meant more could be done by each and there was an opportunity for collective assessment of phenomena. Be- cause the cosmonauts slept by turns, constant observation was possible. Feoktistov told of the launch- ing. While this provides an over- whelming impression watching from the ground, inside the spaceship everything is rather humdrum. Neither the noise nor vibration is too great and accel- eration forces are easily toler- able. Weightlessness, said Yegorov, caused no discomfort and the capacity to work with the most intricate scientific apparatus was unhampered. In this condition he and Feoktistov felt they were upside-down when they closed their eyes, but Komarov did not. Appetites were unaffected and all spoke favorably of the food during flight. Illumination in the cabin could be regulated; audibility was gcod as were communica- tions and the temperature was normal throughout the flight— no small feat in view of the fact the outer temperature of the ship reached 10,000 degrees Centigrade during descent. As for coming down, said Komaroyv, there was no more discomfort than when a modern elevator comes to a halt. This was made possible by a two- Stage process — first a braking parachute three miles up and then a landing rocket switched on when the craft was~close to earth, allowing a landing speed of virtually zero. Even you could be : the world’s next cosmonaut — The ‘oskhod, said Keldysh, differed Substantially from the previous one-man Vostok series. Lack of spacesuits and an ejec- tion system for the cosmonauts made it essential that the craft be airtight. The Voskhod also carried a reserve retro-rocket. This made it possible to put the ship into higher orbit. The Vostoks flew along orbits which ensured their return to earth by using the ship’s resistance to the earth’s atmosphere. The Voskhod could go higher (it reached a maxi- mum height of 254 miles) be- cause the reserve rocket enabled it to transfer from this orbit to the descent trajectory. Did the crew’s impressions of outer space correspond with the writings of science fiction? Their feelings; said Feoktistov, were more everyday and at the same time more strange. Science fic- tion writers, he said, oftet — sought to see space as we know our world and not as the new” world it is. : What is necessary for @ joi | Soviet-U.S. space flight? Keldy™ was asked.
