Dog Is Dead
OF Poison, Reds Indicate

MOSCOW. Nov. IL (P.-
There was general agreement
in Moscow today that Laika,
the space-traveling dog, is
dead. But there was nothing
official to prove it.
The most widely believed ex-
PLANTATION was that the dog S
last meal contained poison to
kill her quickly without further
suffering. However, no official
OF semi-official source profesSed
to know.
Reports that Laika is dead
appeared based on a combina-
ton of the earlier announce
ment that Sputnik II carried
rations for the dog for eight
days and the communique yes
terday that biological and
medical observations from the
satellite had been concluded
successfully.
Pravada and other Moscow
newspapers published the COM
munique without any specula-
ton on the fate of Laika. 1t
was considered probable that
the Soviet government would
issue no formal, official de-
scription of the dogs end.

showed this country-by-coun-
try toll: Germany, 40; Switzer-

Eisenhower
Feels Fine
AfterCheckup
BY The Associated Press

Doctors finished a checkup
today on the state of President
Eisenhower's health-the first
head-to-toe examination he has
had since before his second
term election last year.
The President left Walter
Reed hospital in time to have
lunch at the White House this
afternoon. He had entered the
hospital yesterday afternoon.
As he left the hospital a re-
porter asked the President how
he was feeling.
Fine, fine," Mr.. Eisenhower
replied.
Mr.. Eisenhower has described
the past year as one of con-
slant dealing with crisis. But
the White House called the
physical examination a routine,
an annual precaution.
The substance of the report
he receives from the physicians
is expected to be made public
this afternoon.
This is the first time since the
Presidents heart attack in Sep
TENDER, 1855, that anywhere
near as much as a year has
elapsed between his full-scale
medical checkups. He had three
last year. and his last complete
examination was on october
27-28. 1856. The doctors re-
ported then he gave every APP
pearance of being in excellent
health"

Hagen Explains
Satellite Delay
Needed Jupiter-C in
1855 to Beat Reds

The head of the American
earth satellite program said to-
day that if a missile like the
Army's Jupiter-C had been in
existence two years ago. the
United States might very likely
have beaten the Russians into
outer space.
DR.. John P. Hagen, director
Of the Nays Project Vanguard,
Other Satellite News. Pose AS
answered with a qualified no"
to newsmen's questions whether
he had been taken by surprise
by a Pentagon announcement
Friday that the Army was to be
let into the earth satellite act.
But he made it clear at a
briefing at the Naval Research
Laboratory that he did not
know any such announcement
was to be made at that time.
Florida Launching Likely
The Project Vanguard di-
rector, concealing any rancor
or feeling of professional ri
valry which might exist be-
tween the Navy and the Army,
charteriZed the Jupiter-C effort
as "a means of covering our
bets"
DR.. Hagen was asked where
and when. in his opinion, the
Army satellite would be
launched. He told newsmen it
almost certainly would go up
at Cape Canaveral. Fla. AS TO
the probable time of Jupiter's
launching. DR.. Hagen was less
definite, but indicated the I'M
likelihood of a launching prior
to that of the first Vanguard
test vehicle scheduled for
December.
DR.. Hagen replied in a jocu-
lar vein to question about the
reputed stockpile Of Jupiter-C
missiles which the Army sup
posedly has had in readiness for
firing as soon as the green light
was obtained.
We'll, this is an opportunity
for the Army to take them out
of the storehouse and use
them" he said.
Have Different Purposes
DR.. Hagen told reporters the
Army's Jupiter-C rockets would
not be able to carry the satel-
lite designed for launching in
Project Vanguard rockets. He
said the satellite sent up by
the Army would have to be
of a different size and weight
than the Vanguard satellite.
DR. Hagen added that the
Army "sputnik" would prob
ably be midway in size between
the six-lnch, four-pound test
satellite scheduled for firing
next month and the 20-inch

Prince Edward Told
To Start |ntegration
EorIy Action
Is Ordered by
Appeals Court

BALTIMORE. Nov. II Up
The 4th Circuit Court of APP
peals ruled in effect today that
the Prince Edward County
(Va.) school board must make
a prompt and reasonable
start" to desegregate its public
schools.
The decision was handed
down by the 4th Circuit Court
sitting here. 1t ordered the
case remanded to the Federal
Court of Eastern Virginia to
issue the necessary order.
The Appeals Court found that
the district Judge was in error
in not setting a time limit for
Negroes to enter the schools.
The ruling handed down
today had been argued Octo-
Der IA before Judges John j.
Parker, Clement F. Hayns-
worth, jr., and Harry E. Wat
kins.
District Judge Sterling
Hutchinson declined last jan
uary to set a specific date for
indignation. thus giving the
county unlimited time to de-
segregate.
NAACP Claimed Error
Attorneys for the National
Association for the Advance
ment of Colored People argued
last month Judge Hutchinson
erred in not setting a definite
time table for indignation of
the schools in the southside
Virginia county.
Prince Edward County fig
ured as one of the five original
suits that resulted in the de-
cision of May, 1854. by the
Supreme Court banning RACIAL
segregation in classrooms.
Judge Hutchinson had said. m
effect, that the mixing of white
and Negro children at present
might cause closing of the pub
lie schools and bring permanent
injury to children of both
races.
Under Virginia law, the
State may close schools and
withhold State funds from
those systems where the races
are mixed.
Citizens Ready With Defense
A group of white citizens has
formed the Prince Edward Ed
ucational Corp. to operate a
system of private schools in
the event the public system is
closed. B. Clanton Hamburg,
president of the non-proct Or
ganization, said last July more
than go white teachers and
principals in the public school
system have agreed in writing
to teach in a private system,
Classroom space has been ar
ranged in churches and other
buildings of private and civic
organizations, warehouses and
in private homes. MIR. Hamburg
said the basic course of study
now used in public schools
would not be changed.
Attorneys for the State called
Judge Hutcheson's decision
wise, but the NAACP protested
that consequently there had
been no evidence of any steps
being taken to break down
racial barriers in Prince Ed
ward.
The school board, the Negro
organization complained, had
not initiated any arrangements
for giving members of their race
admission to public schools on
a racially non-discriminatory
basis.
