Red Rocket
Begins Orbit
Around Sun
, MOSCOW (AP)-The Soviet
Union's new cosmic rocket has
steered itself past the moon and
into orbit around the sun, Pravda
reported today.
The Communist party news
paper, in a two-page article on
interplanetary flight, said the mis
sile launched Jan. 2 utilized an
automatic guidance system which
kept it on a predetermined tra
jectory and regulated its final
speed.
The Soviet rocket was launched
vertically from a point in the
Soviet Union, said Pravda. then
entered its assigned trajectory
tinder its own self-contained guid
ance system.
With the lengthy scientific ar
ticle which disclosed on addi
tional details of the rocket itself
or the site of its blast-off
Pravda published a series of pho
tographs and charts on its latest
space entry.
These showed the rocket's in
struments and battery containers
prior to installation m the missile,
and charts of the rocket's flight
and its final orbit around the sun.
As viewed from earth, the Soviet
rocket flashed above and to the
right of the moon in its flight into
space, Pravda said.
As it passed the moon, that
planet's gravitational pull changed
its course somewhat. But the auto
matic controls corrected its flight
path.
Pravda's long study included
data on the 34-hour flight to pass
the moon, a description of the
final stage of the rocket with its
instrument chamber, a detailed
description of the instruments
aboard and details of research
problems connected with the
flight.
It described the new Soviet
planet as it entered orbit around
the sun as "the rocket's final
stage with its instruments linked
with the preceding stage."

"Part of this return to normal

The publication added that "so
far as buyers are concerned, the
fitted normal waistline is the
number one choice."

It's Official Now: Women's Clothes Are Normal Again
By DOROTHY ROE
Associated Press Women's Editor
NEW YORK (APi-The nation's
fashion press, 200 strong, learned
the welcome news today that
clothes are back to normaj.
No more chemises, no more
trapezes, no more distortions oi
the female figure are to be foisted
on the public this spring. New
York designers made plain as
they opened a week of spring
previews.
Waistlines are back where they
should be, or sli;htly raised, skirts

suits are comfortable and wear
able, hemlines cover the knees,
and a woman can go out and buy
her 1959 Easter outfit without fear
of her husband's rage at least so
tar as style is concerned.
All these tidings of joy, it seems,
are largely the result of a mass
male protest against the grotes
que fashions of the last few sea
sons. When husbands refuse to
foot the bills for a new wardrobe,
women don't buy. ll's as simple
as that. And it was the furious
roar of husbands from coast to
coast that blasted the sack dress
into oblivion, wilted the trapeze
and made it clear that modern
men do not want their wives or
sweethearts to look like Empress
Josephine, no matter how fasci
nating that royal lady may have
been in her day.
The Empire silhouette, which
was the big news of both Paris
and New York collections last
fall, has been stringently modified
for spring. Belts still are often
higher than normal, but when this
is true the entire waistline area
is defined, to leave no doubt as
to the natural lines of the figure.
Suits for spring are almost uni
versally short jacketed, with slen
der skirts eased through the hip
line and tapered at the hem.
Jackets may be loose and
straight, slightly rounded or
liloused but they are usually
brief. The ecep(in is the walk-i
ing suit, with three-quarter length
jacket, which can be worn as a
separate short coat.
The dress-and-jacket costume is
one o! the most popular outits of
spring, the dress usually with
natural waistline, the jacket brief
and easy.
