Cheering Congress
WASHINGTON (AP) John H.
Glenri Jr., rode the capital's glory
road in strictly no-go weather
yesterday and told a cheering Con
gress that space promised un
imaginable benefits for mankind.
Addressing and extraordinary
joint meeting of Congress after
riding through rain-sodden but
frenzied• crowds totaling 250,00.
America's first man in orbit said:
We are just probing the surface
of the greatest advancement of
man's knowledge,of his surround
ings that have, ever been made.
"It is hard to even envision the
benefits that will accrue in many
fields."i
Many women wept openly and
men- strove to hold back tears as

that ran the riamut from tears
to lusty laughter. j

lieutenant colonel told the gather

Kennedy cut him and , his brother ,
astronauts "down to size." •
Seeing him off at West Palm
Beach Airport,. Caroline looked
him up and clown and asked,
"Where's ,the monkey?"
It appeared that Caroline really
had hoped to see Enos, the orbit

"'That really put us in our prop
er position," Glenn said
He told Caroline at the time
that Enos was'off , somewhere eat

laughter, he confided to his con-
