Budget Issue Up To Demos, Says GOP Policy Leader CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. (AP The Air Force has shot an At las missile on a successful 4.000 mile flight across the Atlantic just six days after its predecessor be came the nation's biggest satellite. The latest Atlas triumph the third big one in a row was announced some four hours after the blastoff of the 80-foot rocket lale Tuesday night. There was no official word from he launching site, but Col. John Powers said at Air Force Ballis tic Missile Division headquarters in lnglewood, Calif., that prelim inary reports showed the Atlas test ran smoothly. The spectacular Christinas fire works display followed on the heels of last Thursday's satellite launching and the first 325-mile intercontinental range Atlas shot Nov. 28. The four-ton Atlas now in orbit is signalling President Eisenhow er's "Peace on Earth" message to the world. Powers said efforts were being made to recover the nose cone of the rocket, after a blazing re-en try from space, but it was not known whether an announcement on this would be forthcoming. Tuesday night's launching was the first appearance of a new At- clouds and darted eastward like las intercontinental ballistic mis sile called the "C series." The missile featured some special modifications, most of them classi fied, which should result in light ening the Atlas payload by about 100 pounds. , The start of the shoot appeared to be highly successful as the 120 ton gleaming rocket burst up through a blanket of puffy white WASHINGTON (UPIt Senate Republican policy chief Styles Bridges said today President Ei senhower's scaled-down 77 billion dollar budget puts the spending issue "squarely up to the Democrats." The New Hampshire senator said that the President's early an nouncement of a balanced budget for the 1960 fiscal year was "ad vance notice on spending. The budget battle appeared to be under way weeks earlier than usual. Bridges statement, in telephone interview from New HamDshire. came as Democrats challenged the validity of Eisen howers budget conclusions. Sen. Joseph S. Clark (D-Pa.) called it a "cheapskate program and an "ostrich budget made quate for the nation's growth re quirements. He proposed an addi tional .five to six billion dollars in outlays with the added cost made up by closing tax loopholes. But Bridges' stand was: "If Con gress wants to take the responsi bility of raising it, the President is going to put that squarely, on their shoulders. Key Democrats questioned whether the President could bal ance the new budget and still avoid a general tax increase. But administration economists counted on recovery from the business re cession to boost revenues. The Commerce Department reported that the economy had climbed back to its pre-rccession level. Sen. Mike Mansfield (D-Mont.), Senate Democratic whip, com mented that Eisenhower had "pre sented a figure but is trying to keep the people ignorant of the facts as to what the budget will include. Sen. John J. Sparkman (D-Ala.), senate small business chairman, said he fears Eisenhower is "over- optimistic in his revenue figures." Sen. Estes Kelauver (D-Tenn.) called the budget "dishonest" and "political." He said it would "be a miracle if it turned out to be a balanced budget even on the President's own terms." KEYS TO SUCCESS SALT LAKE CITY (API-Mem bers of Gov. George D. Clyde's administration gave him two Christmas gifts Tuesday. They called them the "keys to success in balancing the state budget." The items: A rubber slide rule and a tiny press that prints fake money.

The area designated by the Res crvation Jaycees in the outstand ing Young Farmer search com prises all of Klamath County lying north of the south boundary of the Klamath Indian Reservation. a lading star: As the missile climbed, an eerie white glow was cast over the launching area by the Atlas' flash ing exhaust tail reflecting off a low lying ground haze. As the Convair rocket streaked out of sight, the Atlas satellite was making its 88th sweep around the globe in an orbit expected to last several more weeks. The Air Force, which kept the satellite launching a super-secret last Thursday, announced Tues day night that the shoot was one of a continuing series of research and development flight tests of the Atlas weapons system. The military rarely reports the results of a weapon shoot such as tVtKtjl & JtNNINuj inis. Prior to the launch there were CONSCIENCE GLENDIVE, Mont.

It was the 17th Atlas fired in the nation's accelerated ICBM de velopment program which began just over a year ago. rumors that either another satel lite attempt would be made or that something alive was aboard. Neither report could be confirmed. The mission apparently was to see how the "Big A" would stand up under heavy stress now that the special modifications have been introduced. The mighty Atlas which may become operational before the end of 1959 reaches speeds as high as 16,000 miles an hour on a long range flight. The flight lime was only about 30 minutes when the missile was shot over the 6.325 mile intercon tinental range just three weeks ago on Nov. 29.
