Augusta, Ga.-iUPD-President
Eisenhower told a news con
ference today that he plans to
ask Congress for higher ap-
propf iations next year for the
American space program.
The chief executive' also
said that if Maj. Gen. John
B. Medaris, who has announc
ed his retirement as head of
;the Army Ordnance Missile
Command, has any complaints
he would like to hear them
personally.
The President touched on a
broad range. of space and mis
sile topics today as reporters
plied him with numerous
questions stemmeing from his
announcement Wednes day
that the Army Ballistic Mis
sile agency will be shifted to
;the civilan control of the na
.' tional aeronautics and space
'. agency "to strengthen the na
tional space effort . . ."
Mildly but still plainly, Ei-
senhower rejected the theory
of Medaris as stated by a re
. porter, "that '.we are strad
dling the issue of competing
with Russia in space."
The chief executive said he
I does not think the space pro-
gram should be regarded
-purely as a competition with
some other nation,
.ftrmy Program Curtailed
He had no apologies what
' ever for the military missile
' program and said the agency's
. switch ordered Wednesday
' merely represented the fact
that the development of the
the "super-booster" rockets
, for outer space should now be
the sole concern of the civi
lian agency, with the Army
continuing its own develop-
v ment of strictIyvordnanc'e mis-
siles. - -:

ance that he does hot know
exactly what this meant, but
he thinks Dr. T. Keith Glen
nan, administrator of the
space agency, well defined
the American program for
major space exploration and
that this was a "positive,
progressive program."
On the question of money,
he was asked flatly whether
he planned to ask for an in
crease in space funds. He said
definitely he would seek
something more than Con
gress provided in the current
fiscal year.
The president recalled that
for fiscal 1960 he asked $590
million. Congress cut this, he
continued, by about 68 mil
lions, and then restored some
of the cut.'
Praises Rocket Experts
The President could offer
no specific figures, but he
said his request for . fiscal
1961 definitely would be
something more than the gov
ernment got for the current
year.
He paid particulart tribute
to what he called the bril
liant scientific work of Wern
her von Braun and his team
of rocket experts, saying they
were now free to concentrate
on the development of one
powerful booster. Presumably
this was a reference to the
Saturn project.
In the meantime, he said
the strictly military projects
of the Army would remain
under the Army ordnance re
search program which would
proceed with all possible help
from NASA.
. Some 'scientists believe the
dust layer on the moon is only
inches deep. Others think it
may go down as far as five
miles.

Quick Congressional
Hoped for
Washington - (UPD - Admin
istration sources said today
they hoped Congress would
give quick approval to Presi
dent Eisenhower's latest re
shuffling designed to speed
the nation's space effort.
The administration wants
to avoid a long drawn-out con
gressional inquiry into the
transfer of the famed Wern
her von Braun rocket team
from the Army to the civilian
space agency when the Senate
and House reconvene in Jan
uary. But initial reaction from
congressional military experts
indicated the lawmakers want
to take a careful look at the
shift. The reorganization
would become effective 60
days after Congress was of
ficially notified of the plans

have 1,500,000 pounds of

believed using in its Lunik

The Saturn is the major
project at the Army Ballistic
Missile agency in Huntsville,
Ala., where the team of scien
tists and technicians headed
by Von Braun is based.
Eisenhower announced at
his vacation headquarters in
Augusta, Ga., late Wednesday
his decision to reverse a 1958
ruling and transfer the main
part of the Army Ballistic
Missile agency , to the Nation
