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." U'ffstsrn scientists at the
ineatinj wera reported to believe
that Ruwia has started a crash

Military Lifts Ban
On Building Work
Washington (TP) The Arm
;i Forces are gradually lifting
the freeze imposed on military
construction last June 28, a De
fense Department spokesman
said Saturday.
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.

Satellite Revealed
To Reds by Spies
New York (IT) Executed
atom spies Julius and Ethel Ro

Russia 10 years ago, a former
federal attorney said Saturday.
Myles J. Lane, former U.S. At

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.

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.

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

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.

Although the satellite has
dominated world headlines, Gon
zales said administration of

The propulsion success, in it
self, may have far more import

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.
