S. "space capsule" to car ry a man into an orbit around the earth. The work is expected to take at least two years, in formed officials said. The space agency said the manned satellite would cost more than S15 million. McDonnell will design, de velop and build the satellite. 12 Competitors It was selected from among 12 companies who submitted bids' in a government compe tition. The powerful rocket boost er, probably an Atlas missile, will hurl the manned satel lite or space capsule into or bit. The purpose, NASA said, will be to "carry a human passenger through the atmos phere, into orbital flight, and safely back to earth again." With the. satellite and its human occupants, the United States will be able to study the psychological and physio logical effects of space flight on man. Research will cover the re action of a man to weight lessness as he travels around the earth on a virtually gravity-free state. Studies Limited Studies of weightlessness up to now have been limited to manned flights in jet air craft and to the launching of a monkey in an Army Jupit er missile. In the jet, pilots arched sharply over the top of the plane's trajectory. Neither the men nor the monkey were weightless for more than a few minutes. The space capsule will also enable studies of man's reac tion to very high acceleration during the launching through the atmosphere and very high deceleration on reentering j the atmosphere. The manned space flight op eration is called Project Mer cury. Dr. T. Keith Glenna, NASA administrator, has said it would take "several" years to get a man into space.

"Socialism will go down not freedom," Wiley said. Mikoyan made his forecast in a speech in Chicago last week. Wiley, the top-ranking Re publican on the Senate For e i g n Relations committee, said socialism "subordinates the individual to the state, or to an autocratic group." He said that by repressing freedom, the Communist na tions were "creating 'human atomic bombs' - with unpre dictable time fuses-that may one day explode and blow the leaders off their dictatorial thrones."
