The Maryland space spe cialist's report was the scien tific highlight of a day during which congress delegates spec ulated about the nature of a secret "top priority" program mentioned Monday by the Russians. Western scientists believe the project involves shooting a man into space. Russia Injects Politics The Soviet spokesman who mentioned the secret program would give no details, but an American scientist had re; ported earlier that Soviet Sputnik expert Peter Kapitza is working on a plan to get a man into space and bring him back alive. American officials were seething over Russia's effort, to inject politics into the delib erations of the IAC by trying to bar Nationalist China from membership. "The congress provides Rus sia with the cheapest propa ganda platform in the world," one angry American said "By claiming to have only 20 members (in its Space Soci ety), Russia pays minimum dues of $15 a year and gets millions of dollars worth of publicity. "By contrast, the American Rocket Sotiety pays more than $1,000 a year."
