Failure Humiliating
Amarillo, Tex. 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.
Johnson said his senate pre

Gettysburg President Ei
senhower Saturday demanded a
fctst explanation from the De
fense Department of the failure
of Friday's attempt to launch a
test satellite at Cape Canaveral,
Fla.
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.

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.

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

that the Post Office is a business
instead of a public service.
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.
