UnM States Hopes' To Put Own
Satellite Onto aeration This Wee
pae
Wsrungton 0? This is th
week the United States hope to
put its own (apace satellite into
an earth-circling orbit.
Launching of the First Am
erican entry in the space race is
slated for some morning during
the week, probably Wednesday
at 5 &m. (PSD. 'It will be a six
inch test sphere with a radio
transmitter but no scientific re
cording instruments.
Dr. John P. Hagen,- head of
Project Vanguard, told the
United Press there will be no
advance announcement of the
launching. But he said the de
fense department will give the
word to press here the mo
ment the huge three-stage rocket
is (Stored from the Cape Canave
ralral, FW., launching pad.
A news conference will be
called "within two hours" after
ward at the naval research lab
oratory here, Hagen said. This
will be the first time the public
will learn whether the U.S. sat
ellite is successfully hurled into
an orbit around the earth, he
said. O
That presumably excludes the
possibility that the rocket may
fall befort disappearing into
spac.
icinlils Looking Ahead
While the satellite is " being
prepared for imminent firing,
government missile experts were
thinking ahead to further space
exploits including the launching
of satellites capable of bearing
death-dealing nuclear bombs.
Dr. Simon Ramo, the Air
Force's chief ballistic missile
scientist, said this country should
double its research on ballistic
missiles" beyond the Thor and
Atlas" and on other long-range
rocket problems, indicating he
meant space ships, space plat
form projects and the like.
Brig. Gen. A. W. Betts, the
Pentagon's executive assistant
for guided missiles," said there
was "no question" that this
country eventually could put up
a satellite that could drop "its
nuclear warhead on target."
Rocket Fireworks Slated
The United States plans a bril
liant display of rocket fireworks
at Cape Canaveral this week.
Besides the launching of the sat
ellite carrying Vanguard rocket,
scientists also prepared to set off

It was reported.
Sources close to b6th Hoffa,
president-elect of the 1,500,000
member union, and Meany ack
nowledged that Hoffa had made
overtures to Meany with an of
fer to step down from the union's
top post and accept an AFL-CIO
"monitor" over the Teamsters'
clean-up. The same sources said
Hoffa had failed to win a per
sonal meeting with Meany to
discuss the proposal and that the
effort appeared doomed.

ics missile, a Thor intermediate
range ballistic missile, (IRBM)
and a long-range Snark guided
missile.
Though the Thor and Jupiter
IRBM's are being tested, the
government has ordrered them
into mass production. The Unit
ed States is reported preparing
to ask NATO nations this month
to station the 1,500 mile rockets
in Europe to be used in case of
war with Russia.
Dr. Theodore von Karman,
senior missiles adviser to the
North Atlantic Treaty organiza
tion, urged that IRBM's to be
launched from mobile platforms
be supplied NATO nations with
in a few months.
Von Karman said the need for
such missies was critical because
Russia now possesses the power
to knock out Western bases in
Europe by a surprise nuclear at
tack. He said the whole concept of
massive retaliation must be dras
tically revised because it has
been outdated by Soviet missile
advances. He said he believed
his suggestions would be approv
ed at the NATO "summit" con
ference in Parris Dec. 16-18.

Union Corruption
May Mar Birthday
Event For AFL-CIO
Washington HP) The AFL
CIO observes its second birthday
at Atlantic City, N.J. this week,
but corruption in a few unions
threatens to mar the celebration.
A showdown over expulsion of
the giant Teamsters union is the
major item of business before
the first AFL-CIO convention to
be held since the merged organ
ization was born. The conven
tion opens Thursday,
Labor leaders say there is lit
tle doubt the Teamsters will be
kicked out for defying clean-up
directives issued by the AFL
CIO high command even
though the truck drivers' union
is the federation's largest affil
iate with nearly 1,500,000
members and pays almost
one million dollars a year to the
AFL-CIO treasury.
Bull-necked George Meany,
federation president, is ready to
quit if the convention's 1,200
delegates refuse to go along in
giving the gate to the Teamsters
and three other unions marked
for expulsion.
Delegates from 136 unions,
presenting 15,000,000 rank-and-representing
15,000,000 rank-and-file
members, will hold their
biennial meeting in the conven
tion hall on Atlantic City's fam
ed boardwalk.
Early Test Expected
An early test of Meany's lead
ership is expected to come at
the convention of the building
trades department opening Mon
day and running through Wed
nesday. Several powerful union lead
ers in the building trades are
reported ready to threaten a
walk-out of the federation be
cause of annoyance over failure
to find a solution for craft-industrial
jurisdictional disputes.
In addition to the Teamsters,
those unions marked for expul
sion are:
Bakery and Confectionary
workers. 160,000 members. The
main charge is failure to remove
President James G. Cross, ac
cused of misusing union funds
and making "collusive" contracts
with employers.
Laundry workers, about 30,
000 members. Welfare fund scan
dals and refusal to obey 'AFL
CIO ultimatums for eliminating
corrupt influences.
Distillery workers, about
25,000 members. Former union
officers who resigned at AFL
CIO request stormed a platform
at special AFL-CIO convention
and reassumed office. Looting

American scientists believe
Sputnik I's cigar-shaped rocket
crashed to earth Saturday night.
However, Radio Moscow said it
was still circling the earth and
issued its timetable for today.
Reports of what could have
been the 7,500 pound rocket's
fiery death throes came from
Alaska, the Canadian border at
Montana, Germany and Austral
ia. But scientists at the Smithson
ian Astrophysical Observatory in
Cambridge, Mass., discounted
them.
The rocket was launched along
with its first and second stages
Oct. 4. It circled the earth, along
with Sputnik I, some 868 times,
logging 432,000 miles daily, or
24,624,000 miles until Saturday
night.

Sfeelworkers' Head
Plugs For Schools
Pittsburgh (IP) David J. Mc
Donald, president of the United
Steelworkers, today urged a 15-billion-dollar
school building pro
gram to "halt unemployment and
overtake the Russians in the race
for dominance of outer space."
The chief of the 1,250,000
member union called for in
creased salaries for teachers as
an adjunct of the plan.
McDonald urged congression
al support of such a program in
letters to Sen. Lister Hill (D
Ala.), chairman of the senate
labor and public welfare com
mittee, and Rep. Graham A. Bar
den (D-N.C), chairman of the
house education and labor com
mittee. The labor leader said the pro
gram calls for 15,000 new schools
costing on an average 1 million
dollars each.
McDonald said the nation
needs "such a bold program" to
"bolster its slipping economy
and to- provide propulsion in the
rocket race as well as in other
phases of science where the
United States has shown to be
lagging behind Russia."
"As matters stand right at this
moment," McDonald said, "by
1960, America will be 500,000
classrooms short and 500,000 too
few teachers."
He said 15,000 new schools
with an average of 33 class
rooms each are needed.
