Pointing out that the U.S. still has not closed ranks in space with Russia as evi denced by the Soviet's sun orbiting satellite - Gen. Cook told the aeronautical experts that future U.S. progress will be related to President Eisen hower's forthcoming 1960 budget, careful and expert planning with in the aircraft industry, and highly com petent people within govern ment and without. Need More Engineer "Let's not be deluded by the numbers game involving engineers," he said: "Certain ly we need more. But, more important, we need better en gineers. v- The massive man power approach to any tech nical project is just as likely to delay a solution as to find one.
