The two 485-pound satellites rode into the sky one atop the other in the nose of a silvery Atlas-Agena rocket -r the open ing shot in a tightly guarded, five - shot program variously called "Vela Hotel," "Vela High Altitude" and s i m p 1 y "Project 823." The launching was one of the most deadly accurate ever made by the veteran Atlas Agena, and informed sources said today radio signals from the satellites indicated that both were "working perfect ly." The initial blast by the two stage rocket hurled the moon lets into highly elliptical, or oval - shaped, orbits with peak altitudes of about 60,000 miles. the 71-year-old ex-partisan lead er, kept his public appearances to a minimum. Tito is known to be deeply disturbed by congressional ef forts to force the President to withdraw the "most favored na tion" treatment accorded Yu goslav products under an agreement. The next critical step ahead was to fire small, solid-fueled rocket motors on each satellite, to "kick" it into a nearly cir cular orbit at the 60.000 - mile Students Discuss Teen.Age Center at Parks Meeting Gets Official Welcome While his visit was listed as i night Informal by the State Depart ment in an apparent effort to forestall criticism in Con gress Tito got red carpet treatment usually accorded an official state visitor.

He said the students hoped to find a location in the downtown area where they could have a dance floor and a snack bar, and where teen - agers might gather for social activities. He said they had no particular site in mind at present. The youngsters indicated they had received a favorable re sponse to the proposal from oth er students and parents.
