Laiesf Vanguard Fails to Enter Projected Orbit 1 Washington - (UPD - The De fense Department announced yesterday, after 24 hopeful hours, that the latest Van guard rocket failed to achieve either the speed or altitude necessary to place a satellite in orbit. There was no immediate statement of the cause of the failure. The 72 foot rocket, seventh in the Vanguard se ries, was blasted from its . launching pad at Cape Canav eral, Fla., at 11:38 a.m. (EDT) yesterday, and apparently sent its 21? pound payload sphere whirling erratically once or more around the earth. But the department said the satellite vehicle "failed to achieve an altitude or veloc ity adequate to place it in its projected orbit." 'Consumed by Friction' The statement added: "Aft er one or at most a limited number of passes around the earth at very low altitudes, the .vehicle re-entered the earth's atmosphere and was consumed by friction." The Navy, however, got definite radio signals in South Africa from this would-be satellite and believes the ca reening sphere was later picked up by radio stations in Fort Belvoir, Va., and Ha vana, Cuba, after its first pass around the earth. Mo Instrument Reports The target altitude was 300 miles, while the required speed for a stable orbit was 18,000 miles an hour. The 20 inch sphere carried electronic photographing equipment to determine cloud cover around the world, but in its brief life no actual reports from these instruments were received. Only one of the seven Van guards has been successful. Four more of the Vanguard rockets, costing about 10 mil lion dollars each, remained to be fired. Mies TelSs Nato Formosa Situation Affects West Too Boston, Mass. -dTD- Secre tary of State John Foster Dulles told NATO allies yes terday that surrender to Red China's arrogant demand for the Quemoy and Matsu islands would have serious conse quences for western Europe. He said the islands just off the Red Chinese mainland are the geographic point where the Communists "judge sur render is most likely." "But nonetheless the prin ciples at stake there are the principles upon which NATO rests," he said. "If they are not valid and not sustained in Asia, it cannot be confidently assumed that they are valid and will be sustained in Eu rope. Question of Will "The strength of NATO and the immunity of the NATO area from aggression depend very largely upon what the Soviet leaders consider to be the will of the United States," he said. "Is the United States, in fact, willing to defend ter ritory other than its own in support of collective secur ity?" Dulles discussed the Far East crisis in an address pre pared for the Atlantic Treaty association, an organization of private groups supporting the North Atlantic treaty. Collective Security His theme was that the Far East crisis could not be di vorced from the rest of the world. He noted that both Red China and Russia were trying to undermine the prin ciple of collective security by forcing the United States to abandon Nationalist China and get out of the Formosa area. "If the United States should give in to that arrogant de mand in Asia, the conse quences would be felt in west ern Europe," Dulles said. He reemphasized that the GRANDVIEW Classes Take Field Trip By LILLIAN KNIGHT Grandview For their first field day of the new school year.

But he said that if that principle is abandoned in the Far East ' "it is undermined everywhere." He noted that America's kaiu partners have a "na tural concern" that the United States not become so en tangled in Asia that its contri bution to NATO's military shield would be damaged. He sought to reassure the NATO nations on that point with the words "we do not expect that to happen." He also assured them the United States "does not expect NATO military support in the Formosa area."

Private Game Lands 'Strongly Opposed' Salem-(UPD-The State Game Commission Friday took a slap at private-interest game management, hitting partic ularly the Hudspeth Land and 1 Livestock Co.'s plan to permit hunters to bag mule deer on their lands for a 25 fee. The game commission said the company's plan is "not believed to be necessary or desirable, and is strongly op posed by the state game com mission." In detailing the opposition, the state agency said it rec ognized the right of landown ers to protect their property, but added .that all citizens have the right to share equal ly in wildlife resources of Oregon. Private Game Management and- Conservation, Inc., the group that initiated the plan, was set up by the son of John Hudspeth, Prineville. The game' management corpora tion claims more than 900,000 acres of . private ranch and forested land in central Ore gon. The game commission in listing their reasons for con demming the plan, include the fact that some of the private lands in question make up the winter range for deer. The commission said that winter food is the primary limiting factor of the deer herds, and a balanced harvest of deer from both private rnd public land is essential for proper management of the game and forage resources.
