Ike Becomes Another Grad As He Joins Class Reunion West Point, N.Y. flPV Presi dent Eisenhower became just another old grad Saturdc for a reunion with his West Point Class of 1915 and joined in cheering jQmy's football team to a bruising 53 to 7 victory over Colgate. o Obviously pleased with Army's powerful playing, Eisen hower rose and cheered with the Cadets at eachQtouchdown. The game was the high point of a nostalgic day in which the president also visitedrthe Aus- tere room he occupied as a mil itary academy plebe and chat ted with the barber who trim- his hair just before the World War II Normandy invas ion. Sat In Class He sat in on a class in mili ery history, traded war remin- Those Two-Stage Jobs?' by launching their now-famous "sputnick I" on Oct. 4. The first satellite a globe 22 inches in diameter or about twice the size of a basketball is still hurtling around the earch in its orbit about 560 miles rbove the earth's crust Radio Moscow said the new satellite weighs 508.3 kilograms (1.222 pounds) in comparison to the: 184 pounds of its perdeces- sor. The "sputnik" is hurtling at the rate of 8,000 meters (five miles) per second, or about 18, 000 miles per hour the same speed as sputnik 1. -Special Effort Made The satellite was launched as a special effort in connection with the 40th anniversary of the Russian revolution. The an niversary will be celebrated Thursday and the Soviets had been expected to try to send up another satellite sometime during this week. Moscow radio's special broad cast announceing the new launching said sputnik II is more apparatus than the first one. It carries apparatus for measuring radiation of the sun and short wave, ultra violet and X-rays, the broadcast said. The announcement said the satellite will pass over Moscow between 7 and 9 a.m. Moscow timetonight (11 a.m. and 1 p.m. EST.). The new satellite carries ap paratus for measuring cosmic rays, temperature and pressure, Tass reported. It said the dog, type unde scribed, is in a hermetically sealed, air-conditioned contain er which carries a supply of food and instruments for meas uring the effect of cosmic con ditions on a living body. The annoucement said the sat ellite wil circle the globe in one hour 42 minutes. It said signals already received indicated all apparatus aboard was function ing normally and the dog seem ed to be "doing well." Tass did not announce over what radio frequencies the new sputnik is broadcasting. Sputnik I sent out regular "beeps" on frequencies of 20.005 and 40.002 megacycles for three weeks before its batteries died. iscences with old army cronies and shook hands with some of Americans future generals members of th, present cadet corps. The president rated a resound ing cheer from the cadets when it was announced at mid-day that he had granted amnesty to all members of the corps being disciplined for minor violations of academy rules. O Eisenhower and his wife took a formal review of the corps and i attended the Army-Colgate foot- ball game as honored guests. But other than that, the president tried to remain in the back ground as much as he could. The Eisenhowers flew here from Washington Friday. They spent the night in the presiden tial suite at the Hotel Thayer, on the West Point grounds- Big Step Last Block Removed With Zhukov Drop In Russian Power Criticism Now From Soviet Councils Washington HP) American officials said Saturday that Niki ta Khrushchev has moved a big step nearer unchallenged dicta torship in Russia, increasing the chances of tension or even war. They emphasized that no one can predict immediately how the brash, vodka-swigging com munist leader will use his in creased power. For the present, they said, he still does not(Thave the status of a "second Stalin," and he probably will reemphasize the principle of party and collective leadership. But there was no doubt here that by banishing Marshal Geor gi Zhukov from top positions in both the communist party and the Soviet government, Khrushchev has removed the last figure of great prestige and ambition who might have chal lenged his dominance. Now, American experts on . Soviet affairs said, the impetu ous Khrushchev's whims and snap judgments will be less like ly to come under criticism in soviet high councils. Increase in Risk The net result is an Increase in the risk of a Soviet "mis calculation," which President Eisenhower, Secretary of State John Foster Dulles and others have called a great danger. , Mrvi. Eisenhower had .no im mediate comment when handed a copy of a United Press dis patch from Moscow -.- reporting Zhukov's expulsion as he watched the Army-Colgate foot ball game at West Point, N.Y. Allen W. Dulles, Chief of the Central Intelligence Agency, said in a Sept. 19 speech that Khrushchev's "impetuosity and unpredictability remain a mat ter of grave concern in an in ternational situation as tense as that of today." Struggle Will ContinuQ the Moscow struggle will con tinue. They do not rule out the possibility that Khrushchev himself one day will suffer the fate of his ousted colleagues. The indications are that Khrush chev did not win the battle with out tense moments and perhaps extra innings. One big question here I s whether some more harsh talk, and perhaps action will come out of Moscow to give the im pression that all' is serene and unified. Actually the outcome may be a mixture of both as the Soviets seek to divert attention from their home front bickering. Moscow (W The central committee of the Soviet Com munist party Saturday night an nounced the expulsion of Mar shal Georgi Zhukov from the committee and its all-powerful presidium fc" trying to "liquid ate" the party's control over the armed forces. Zhukov was reported to have admitted his "errors." The official announcement was issued seven days after the 61-year-old war hero was re lieved of his post as defense min ister. It accused him of. estab lishing a Stalinist "cult of his personality" with the aid of "flatterers and bootlickers" who praised him "to the high heav ens" in everything from broch ures to motion picture films. But the committee, meeting in secrecy at the Kremlin ear lier this week, stopped short of stripping Zhukov of all honors. It appeared he would retain party membership and would be permitted to keep all his ti tles and decorations. It also was believed possible he would keep his seat in the supreme Soviet (parliament). It appeared however there would be no shakeup of the top military commands. Who would replace Zhukov on the committee and on the 15 member presidium was not known. Athen (IP) Mayor George Christopher of San Francisco said tonight he would not be forced out of the race for the Republican nomination for U.S. Senate by reports that Gov. Goodwin Knight might seek the nomination. 0 o O 1 CD
