Reds Expect Satellite
To Alter u. s. Policies

5000 miles OH its successful test
last summer
Gen. PokrovSky also said the
two rockets were similar in
many important respects.
Otherwise most of the per-
Torrance figures on the satel-
lite are still deep secret. And
the thousands of words printed
about the satellite since Satur-
day have not been accompanied
by one picture, drawing or other
illustration Of the orb or of its
launching.
Many foreigners in Moscow
cannot understand why the
Communist bosses did not delay
the launching until closer To
the 40th anniversary of the
Red revolution. on November
Z, These observers wonder If
something even more Spectacu-
lar than the satellite or the
ICBM is waiting in the wings
for unwilling then.

iSh scientists specialized today
that the Soviet Unions baby
moon weighs only about 10 1
pounds. not 1874 pounds as frs

Control Of All Satellites
Being Studied by U.N.

UNITED NATIONS. N. Y
Oct. p The West readieo
a United Nations disarmament
resolution calling for interna-
tional control Of outerspace
missiles today while a Soviet
satellite circled the earth.
American sources said they
thought the So,iet Unions
launching OF the worlds first
man-made moon would deeply
affect the whole feeling about
the urgency OF the disarma-
ment negotiations.
They said perhaps 20 nations
would submit the resolution
tomorrow or shortly after for
debate to begin PROBABLY
Wednesday in the U. N. Assem-
oly's Political Committee.
Diplomats reported the reso-
ton would have the 82-nation
assembly call for resumption OF
negotiations in the U. N. Dis
armament subcommittee on
the basis Of six western pro-
posalS.
o. Agreement on measures

whole OF disarmament.
Britain. Canada. France and
the United States proposed this
program to the Soviet Union
IN the five-nation subcommit-
tee in London August 30. The
SovietS rejected the plan and
the Subcommittee talks recessed
in deadlock eight days later.

added, the Russians Will dis
patch a satellite that will go
around the moon before re-
turning to the earth.
The Soviet people generally
expect that program will be
carried out
Presumably Soviet scientists
already are hard at work on
these targets. quietly and in
almost complete secrecy. as they
worked on the l84-pounder.
Only Scant advance informa-
ton was given out on the first
baby moon. There were no de-
tailed drawings or public show
ing OF models as in the United
States. no lengthy progress re-
ports and no admissions of fail
ureS or setbackS.
Columns of Comment
Early last summer represen-
tativeS OF the Soviet Academy
OF Sciences said the Russian
satellite would beat the Ameri-
cans into the air. These state
mentS were accompanied by
several Sketchy articles on the
Russian moon. but they gave
few details of its makeup.
After July there was almost
no mention Of the satellite pro-
gram. and the launching came
as q surprise.
Every Moscow newspaper nov
is printing columns OF comment
from all over the world on the
satellite and timetables OF the
little balls flight over the cities

Moscow radio has quoted
some details of the mechanism
from rocket and jet experts. but
the volume of information has
been nothing like what could
be expected after the launch

Missile Use
For Satellite
Called Blocked

PHILADELPHIA, Oct. 7 up.
"A noted authority on outer
space said today the Army
could have launched its huge
Jupiter c guided missile into
outer space as a satellite last
year. had it so chosen, but an
astonishing piece OF stupidity"
prevented IT,
THE Pentagon chose to ig-
more the fact that we had a de-
vice capable Of launching a
satellite and decided TOT de-
velop another" DR.. I. M. Levitt
said.
He said the Defense Depart
ment was deep in the develop
ment Of the Vanguard rocket
for launching a satellite in the
international geophysical year
and decided to concentrate on
this rocket when the Jupiter c
was already capable OF accom-
pllshing the task.
He said the Pentagon ex-
planned this astonishing piece
OF stupidity" by asserting the
Jupiter was designed as a
missile, not as a satellite
launcher, and that work on the
missile-aS a weapon-should
continue"
May Have Sped Missiles
DR.. Levitt. director OF Fels
Planetarium here. said This Of
course retarded the satellite
program. 1t may have Speeded
the missile program; / don't
know.
But 1t certainly let the Rus
SLAMS score an astounding prop
aganda victory over the United
States.
Dr.. Levitt said the United
States could have achieved a
satellite moon lust like Russia $
by doing little more than
changing the angle of fire" IN
a test conducted at Patrick All
Force Base. Fla.
The Jupiter c reached
speed Of $4,000 miles an hour
IN the test. according TO an
article in Missiles and Rockets
Magazine last December. The
Army declined comment on the
article but other sources said
the information was accurate
Last Stage Not Fired
Dr. Levitt said the Army did
not fire the last stage OF the
three-Staee rocket. This last
stage, he said. would have
boosted the Jupiter's speed 70
the 1900 miles an hour needed
10! pldCllIs SaJellIte IN an
orbit about the earth.
The Jupiter was fired as a
surtace-to-surfsce missile but
even so, Dr.. Levitt said, II
reached an altitude OF $50
miles.
1T would have been a sateL
lite then and there" had il
had sufficient speed to counter
act the pull OF gravity and put
1t in an orbit. DR.. Levitt said
The rocket landed of South
America. some 400 miles west
Of Ascension Island.

make the House of Lords more
democratic. She said this SeS-
sion will be asked to approve
legislation creating nonhered-

Women have sat in the

Some peers strongly oppose
letting the ladies in.
Other controversial issues
facing Parliament were barely
touched on in the speech. The
problems include a growing
tide of labor unrest and de-
mands for pay raises that the
government says would ruin
the strained economy, a still
unresolved battle against the
rising cost of living and efforts
to maintain the value of the
pound sterling.

Prices Upheld
By Humphrey
By the Associated Press

George M. Humphrey headed
into another congressional grill.
ing today about the price o!
steel and why he is against
cutting it.
Mr.. Humphrey, who quit
earlier this year as Secretary
of the Treasury, now is boarC
chairman of National Stee,
Corp. He insisted yesterday
that the company has no inten-
ton of rolling back the price OF
steel.
While costs of scrap and tir
are down. he told the Senate
Monopoly Subcommittee, so are
profits-and National just isn't
going to lower prices at this
time.
National is the country's big
gest producer of cold rolled
sheets, a basic material for the
auto and appliances industries
1t also makes large quantities
Of tin plate.
Boosted Price in July
Along with other major steel
companies, National put a Sc q
ton price increase in effect last
July. Chairman Kefauver
Democrat of Tennessee, of the
Senate subcommittee has beer
calling on the industry to wipe
out at least half the increase
contending that higher wage:
it has to pay have been more
than offset by a lower cost fol-
scrap steel.
Mr.. Humphrey insisted that
National is getting a fair price
now. He said Sc a ton more
means only a dollar a year
more in the budget of a family
that uses a thousand cans q
year, and So to $40 more in the
cost of a $4,000 OF $4,000 car.
Hasn't Changed Opinion
Senator Kefauver remarked
that Mr.. Humphrey used to put
a lot of effort into holding
down imitation and that he hao
a good opportunity Ito put into
effect what you were talking
about when you were secre-
tary."
Il haven't changed my opin-
ion one iota," MI. Humphrey
fired back.
He said it is important fol
companies to have good profit,
and for people to have gooC
jobs at good wages. because
there can't even be a strong ma
tional defense unless there i.
strong economy behind it.
National would get more
business if it cut prices bit
Senator Kefauver suggested.
That's what you think, Sen.
ator," Mr.. Humphrey replied
Il don't"
