The Administration's voting bill, expected to pass amid diminished Southern opposition, will probably increase this number by another 1,000,000 to 1,500,000 by next year's elections, out of an estimated maximum possible total of 5,000,000 Negro votes in the South.

What is moving to Houston is administrative control and planning of manned space missions, the training of astronauts, and-beginning with the second Gemini shot scheduled for this fall-ground control of manned missions. But the place the missions will blast off from will still be the sandy flatland around Cape Kennedy. And until NASA's Saturn rocket is operational, the Air Force will continue...
