Task Force For Trip To Washington W Some "pro ject vanguard" scientists have urged that the United States im mediately organize a scientific task force with full military sup port to race Russia to the moon, it was learned Saturday. It was not disclosed whether their views have been put into formal recommendations to President Eisenhower. But high administration officials have been informed of the scientific opinion that a simple rocket shot at the moon could be made with in a few months, using rockets and control equipment already developed. Moon Hit Possible Dr: John P. Hagen, chief of the U. S. vanguard earth satellite project, said Friday that by at taching more booster stages on the vanguard rocket, which will be used in launching the U.S. satellite, it should be possible to hurl a projectile out of the earth's gravitational pull and hit the moon. He declined to say how soon. And he did not indicate whether he favors an effort to turn the trick ahead of Russia. The head of the Russian dele gation to the Astronautical con press in Barcelona, Spain, said Saturday ho "hopes" a Soviet focket will hit the moon "very jroa."

Appropriations for building was halted temporarily pending passage by Congress of the mili tary construction bill for fiscal 1958. Defense officials wanted to see how much money would be available before giving the go ahead for planned projects. Congress subsequently provid ed $1,743,011,947 for military construction, some 230 million dollars less than President Ei senhower requested. Officials said virtually all of the projects frozen by the June order are being cleared for con struction insofar as the new budget permits. Amateur Artist Uses Shoe Polish Memphis. Tenn.

Hull, assistant edi tor of "Missiles and Rockets" magazine, said in a press state ment Saturday the United States can still win the race and regain the prestige lost to Russia's sci entists who launched the first space satellite. "We already have the techni cal knowledge necessary, and it can be done with virtually "on-the-shelf" hardware," he said. "If American industry had been given the task, it could have succeeded long ago. If given the task Saturday, it could meet the assignment in six months or sooner, and it appears unlikely that the cost would be more than $200,000." Satellite Revealed To Reds by Spies New York (IT) Executed atom spies Julius and Ethel Ro senberg sent secret American in formation on earth satellites to Russia 10 years ago, a former federal attorney said Saturday. Myles J. Lane, former U.S. At torney, said David Greenglass, brother of Ethel Rosenberg, told investigators Rosenberg , had mentioned "a sky platform proj ect." Greenglass, serving a 15-year prison term for his part in the spy ring, was quoted as saying Rosenberg had described the project as "some large vessel which would be suspended at a point of no gravity between the moon and the earth, and as a satellite it would spin around the earth." Greenglass said Rosenberg had told him the information came from "one of the boys." He said Rosenberg gave no further details. House Building Boom Predicted for 1960 Portland OP) The big boom in housing will start around 1960, according to James I. Buckley, vice president of the Georgia-Pacific Corporation. Speaking before the 31st West ern Reg'onal Trust conference of the American Bankers associ ation, Buckley said, "People say to me, why, aren't you worried by the decline in housing starts of 1.300,000 in 1955 to 1,100.000 in 1956. and probably one-million in 1957." "No. we are not worried by it," he said. The lumber oficial point ed out that although the lumber and plywood industry has sufer ed in the decline in home con resumption of high level home lost. struction, those markets are not "We expect to profit from the building." Buckley said the 1960 boom was a matter of arithme tic."

Main St. Sunday, October 13, 1937 By Jimmy Hatlo British Scientists Observe Satellite By UNITED PRESS Excited British scientists re ported Saturday they have suc ceeded finally in zeroing their radio telescops, the world's larg est, on Russia's earth-girdling Sputnik. Professor A. Lovell said the giant Jordell Bank Telescope in Oheshire appeared to have re corded echoes both from the sat ellite which Russia launched a week ago from the spent rocket that bore it aloft and is tailing it around the earth at 18,000 miles an hour. Other developments included: Radio Moscow's scientific expert confirmed that the satel lite was transmitting its infor mation on space in "secret code." The International Astronau tical Congress wound up in Bar celona with disappointed West ern scientists concluding the Russians had done a lot of lis tening and not much talking. Dr. John P. Hagen, director of the U.S. satellite program said the rocket which boosted the Soviet satellite into its orbilr packed "tremendously larger" power than the one this country plans to use. Film Star Brando Now Honeymooning Hollywood (IP) Film star Marlon Brando, often described as the movie colony's most eligi ble bachelor, was honeymooning Saturday with Indian actress Anna Kashfi, 23, after their "surprise" marriage in the home of his aunt Friday. The secret ceremony took place in the home of Mrs. Betty Lindmeyer in nearby Eagle Rock. Friends of the actor said the couple had known one another tor two years. But Edward Dym tryk, director of Brando's latest film, "The Young , Lions," said the marriage came as a "com plete surprise" to him and other members of the company. The 33-year-old Brando met Miss Kashfi casually at Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer studios and lat er called on her when she suf fered a physical breakdown and was hospitalized. Santa Rosa Plane Found at Mexicali El Centro, Calif. (IP) A single-engine plane reported missing Friday on a flight from Santa Rosa, Calif., to Mexicali, Mex., was locted Saturday at the Mexicali airport. Civil aeronau tics administration officials re ported. The plane, piloted by Navy Cmdr. Noroton W. Henrickson of Mountain View, Calif., and carrying William D. Morros of Mill Valley, Calif., was report ed missing after it failed to ar rive on schedule at Mexicali. Thunderstorms and hail were re ported alone the route the plane was supposed to have taken. PORTABLE Medford, Oregon Loose Pieces Seen May Be Rocket Parts Cambridge. Mass. HT1 American scientists Saturday ac cepted Russia's claim that two objects accompanying sputnik were the third stage rocket and its nose- cone. Dr. Allen Hynek, chief satel lite tracker at World Moonwatch headquarters here, said if any more objects appear accompany ing the satellite it will indicate either the rocket or the rocket nose cone is disintegrating into a "travelling junk pile." Sighting of three objects was reported today at a Ft. Mon mouth. N.J., moonwatch point by Stanley Schodowski who used a low-powered telescope. On the basis of that report. Dr. Hynek said it appeared the rock et was disintegrating. But later, when advised that Russia report ed several days ago that the nose cone of the rocket was also or biting, Hynek said "What was seen could prob ably be what the Russians an nounced was a nose cone rock et. "But if any more things ap pear, we will have to regard this as a travelling junkpile, indicat ing the nose cone or the rocket or both, but not the satellite, are breaking up." Could Be Piece After the New Jersey reports, Dr. Hynek said the third object could be a piece torn from the rocket, indicating disintegration. Such a coming-apart would take about two weeks, he said. However, Fort Monmouth moonwatch spokesman Stanley Schodowski who made the sight ings said he believed the objects were the satellite itself, the rock et and the protective cone blown off when the satellite was sent spinning into space. Hynek said the rocket shell ap noareri to be traveling through space at a height of about 143 miles over the earth's surface. The satellite itself was traveling at an undetermined height, but probably higher than its rock et. TTvnek announced the rocket is now whipping around the earth at. a faster cliD than the satellite. He said the rocket's orbit is shortening daily and makes the circle of the earth three minutes faster each day. In about two weeks, he said, it will begin to Agonizing Study Due On Rocket Missiles Clarksburg, W. Va. (IP) Donald J. Gonzales, veteran United Press staff correspondent, said Friday night that Washing ton is undergoing an agonizing reapraisal" of its pilotless mis sile program. Gonzales said Washington of ficials acknowledge that another Soviet scientifc achievement comparable to launching of the earth satellite would be a serious psychological setback for the United States. Therefore, he said, an effort is underway to regain the psycho logical initiative from Russia in the space field. The Washington diplomatic corresDondent spoke at the an nual West Virginia Press Assn. convention which closed here Saturday. Although the satellite has dominated world headlines, Gon zales said administration of ficials are more interested in the thrust and rocketry which pro pelled the object into space. The propulsion success, in it self, may have far more import ant military and scientific sig nificance than the satellite.

Six Rockets Ready For Launching Into Outer Space Chicago TP) Rocket expert Willy Ley has announced that the Air Force now has six rock ets in readiness for a 4,000-mile flight into outer space. The launchings, to be made from the Marshall Islands in the Pacific ocean as soon as weather conditions are right, will be made at the rate of one a day, Ley said Friday. A four-stage mechanism would project the rockets on their 4,000-mile trip. Addition of another stage which would car ry the missiles to the moon would present no greater prob lem, he said. Conversion of the missiles to make the moon journey is a pos sibility, Ley said. Ley, one of the founders of the German Rocket Society, also cited the possibility that the first manned satellite could be launched into space "in about five years." Developments Listed Other developments would be "space stations" in the next 10 or 12 years, and a trip to Mars within 25 years, Ley pre dicted. The first projectile to reach the moon would probably carry a magnesium charge, setting off a fire "splash" visible from from earth, e said. The follow up projectile might, be shot to the far side of the moon to gath er hitherto unavailable know ledge. Would Not Orbit Ley said the missiles making the 4,000-mile flight would not be orbited like a satellite, but would fall directly back to earth since they lack forward speed. The United States could have put a satellite alfot 18 months ago but modified its plans to make a peaceful satellite at President Eisenhower's request, Ley said. When the U.S. satellite is lannched, it will-result in con siderable more information than that yielded by the Soviet sphere, Ley said. As it turned out, he said, we lost a propa ganda battle but lost nothing scientifically. Russian's Rocket Close to ICBM Size Washington (IP) The rock et which boosted the Soviet earth satellite into its orbit pack ed "tremendously larger" power than the one this country will use to launch its late -rising moon. This statement by Dr. John P. Hagen, director of the U.S. satel lite program known as Project Vanguard, appears to support previous statements by Ameri can scientists that Soviet rocket was something close to an inter continental basliltic missile. Hagen said in a National Press Club talk Friday that this COUn-fi-tr rn na Vinnprl tn VtP TPaHv to launcn a scienuiic saienue i" October this year. The hope now is to get one up next March.
