TP Senate Majority Leader Lyndon John son Friday called the U.S. satel lite failure at Cape Canaveral "the best publicized and most humiliating failure in our his G tory." Johnson, speaking at a meet ing of the Amarillo Chamber of Commerce, said. "I shrink a lit tle inside me whenever the U.S. announces a great event and it blows up in our faces. "Why don't they perfect the satellite and announce it from Cape Canaveral after it is in the sky?" he asked.

Ca"pe Canaveral Navy sci entists said Saturday they had another rocket ready to shoot but will be unable to make a new attempt to send up a satel lite until the cause of Friday's failure is determined. Paris The Vanguard fizzle daused fear in Western circles that the United States position as leader of the free world might be endangered. Some groups speculated President Eisenhower now may be forced to attend the NATO Summit Conference in Paris this month. Washington Scientists in Washington and Cape Canaveral studied pictures and parts of the exploded rocket and damaged launching pad in a hunt for clues to the cause of the mishap. China Lake, Calif The Navy announced a rocket sled at the China Lake Naval Ordnance Test Station had set a world rec ord speed of 2,575.1 miles per hour recently on a monorail. The eld track record was 2,180 miles per hour. New York Vice President Richard M. Nixon said Friday night he was disappointed but noted that the Vanguard is not a military weapon and therefore its failure did not affect Amer ica's defense power. Chicago A check failed to produce evidence that part of Sputnik I"s rocket landed in the United States or its territories. Nikita Khrushchev claimed Fri day the United States has the fallen rocket's remnants but will not return it. Red Claim Wrong, . Moon watcher Says San Francisco (ff) The Chief of Northern California Moonwatchers said Saturday a Moscow Radio claim that the rocket of the first soviet earth satellite fell in Alaska "cannot be considered as factual." Walter C. Marion said "They (the Russians) have no evidence to go on because we don't have any information. I think they're just fishing ror information from us." Marion, associated with the seismographic laboratory at the University of California, said he believed that "if the rocket had fallen in Alaska or Northern Canada, surely someone would have reported it. I feel the Rus sian report cannot be consider1 ed as factual." .The Moonwatch chief said the last time his team spotted the rocket was on the evening of Nov. 28.

More than 30 acts were entered in the show. Irreparable Damage Results From Test By Uniied Press Failure of the U.S. Vanguard satellite test caused almost ir reparable damage to U.S. pres tige abroad and touched off spec ulation Saturday that President Eisenhower may be forced to at tend the NATO "Summit" con ference in Paris even against doc tors' wishes to counter the set back to America's leadership in the eyes of the world. America's allies around the world were openly dismayed over the abortive attempt Friday by scientists at Cape Canaveral to put a test moon into space. Moscow propaganda outlets played it straight, apparently convinced that forthright reports on the U.S. failure to match the achievements of Soviet scientists needed no added trimmings. Western diplomats, American congressmen and the man-in-the-street expressed disappointment. There were strong criticisms of the advance publicity. Failure "Not Surprising" But Western missilemen and scientists pointed out that the test was the first and maintained the failure was not surprising. Scientists in Britain and West ern Europe said they believed the Russians "undoubtedly" had troubles in shooting Sputnik I into an orbit. Every move made at Cape Canaveral was report- ed to the world, they pointed out, while the Russians said noth ing until their satellite was an space last Oct. 4. Washington dispatches said President Eisenhower was deep ly concerned over the abortive test. Eisenhower, from his coun try home in Gettysburg, Pa., called on the Pentagon for a full and detailed report. The failure by the U. S. to match the Soviet Sputniks touch ed off concern over the success of the NATO Summit conference Dec. 16, called to unify allied missile-scientific efforts. GOOD THRU CHRISTMAS... RADIO, Will Ill No. Central .... Medford The meeting already had been shaken by the possibility that Eisenhower may not attend be cause of the light stroke he suf fered. Ike's Presence A "Must" The Washington reports said, however, that the flop of the Vanguard test now may make Eisenhower's presence a "must" in Paris. The speculation appeared to be supported by reports from Lon don which said the failure' had spiked anxious hopes by the Western allies that the United States would come up with some "spectacular" scientific achieve ment in advance of the crucial conference. United Press Correspondent K. C. Thaler said diplomatic observers in London said the abortive attempt might even im pair America's leadership at the 15-nation meeting. Thaler said many West Euro pean governments feared the mishap would strengthen the Soviet claim to rocket superior ity. European diplomats, he said, pointed to the inevitable dam aging effects to American and Western prestige behind the Iron Curtain and in the non-committed and neutral nations around the world. American defense officials and scientists wrote off the abortive attempt but were by no means despairing of the U.S. ability to match Russia's Sputnik with a man-made moon of its own.

Modern Postal Policy Advocated by Senator In Talk to Publishers Portland Senator Richard L. Neuberger (D-Ore.) Saturday told a special committee of the Oregon Newspaper Publishers association that Congress should adopt a modern postal policy which enumerates the public services to be paid for out of general revenue instead of being charged to mail users through in creased postal rates. Expressing opposition to cer tain provisions of the mail rate increase bill passed by the House earlier this year and now pend ing in the Senate, the Oregon legislator complained of poor mail delivery service and said "the present Administration is asking our people to pay more money for less service. It is ask ing the public to pay a premium for built-in waste and ineffi ciency." On Committee Senator Neuberger is a mem ber of the Senate Post Office and Civil Service Committee which handles postal legislation. He en dorsed the effort of that group to develop a modern postal policy, as a preliminary step to ward making reasonable rate adjustments. "I am thoroughly convinced," Neuberger said, "that it will be possible in the next session of Congress to develop a modern postal policy so greatly needed. Once Congress has accomplished this, I feel it will then be in a position to act intelligently and constructively on postal rate in creases and other crucial postal matters." The Senator told the publish ers that the House-approved rate bill, which calls for 4-cent letters, 7-cent airmail, plus step increases in rates on second and third class mail, is based on the theory that the Post Office is a public utili ty. He challenged the philosophy Prop WSSSS MONDAY riM Prints, checks, stripes and modernistic designs. Sew and Save with this large assortment of no-iron cottons. 36-in. width. Sanforized.

Pointing out that all govern ment departments and bureaus cost money to operate, he argued: "There is no valid reason why the Post Office should be singled out for operation at a profit, while all the others incur large deficits which amount to many billions of dollars." Warns Publishers Senator Neuberger warned the publishers: "If second class mail is to be placed on a pay-as-you-go basis, then many publishers of newspapers and magazines would be required to foot the bill for much free and privileged mail, some of which is in direct com petition with your industry." He also attacked the Adminis tration plan of linking pay raises of postal workers with postal rate increases. ' He declared his support of pay increases for all Federal workers but said they should be considered on their merits and not linked to postal rates paid by the American pub lic. Senator Neuberger further de clared that Federal fees should be designed to provide the maxi mum service to the people rather than providing a complete offset for the cost of Government; for example, the salary of a Forest Ranger should not be contingent upon the admission fee to our National Parks.
