THE WEEK IN PERSPECTIVE
The Shock Of Failure

The ieb7-5s international Geo.
physical Year was billed as mans
greatest assault on the secrets Of
nature. Forgetting the cold war.
scientists Of all nations were to
engage In q cooperative investi-
cation Of the earth, inside and
out. the atmosphere and the space
beyond the atmosphere. The
crowning achievement was TO be
the launching Of man-made satel-
lites into orbits far out from
earth. They were to provide.
through their radio equipment
and observation from the ground.
information Of immediate practi-
cal use as well as the basis for
mans own first step out into
space.
When the l8-month ICY began
last July l, the desired atmosphere
Of complete scientific cooperation
prevailed. And II survived the
first rude shock to American pres
tige Of RusSia's successful launch
ing OF the FIRST satellite--Sputnik
Ion October 4. In fact. that
achievement was heralded by q
chorus OF Western congratulations
refreshing in the midst Of cold
war. And administration ofiiclals
were heard TO write of Sputnik
as q scientific curiosity.
But the military implications Of
the first satellite-which is still
quietly orbiting $50 miles out from
earth--were quickly noted: Rus
Sia's ability to carry the metal
Sputnik out to its orbit was Ac-
cepted as proof beyond question
that she had rockets powerful
enough to propel intercontinental
nuclear missiles as she claimed.
Even more important this result
ing boost 10 Russia's world pres
tige and damage to Americas
were far beyond anything ina
gined here.
Russia's next big surprise
the successful launching Of
much larger satellite with the dog
Laika as passenger on November
2-touched the panic button for
the West. Now. any congratula-
tons that might have been spoken
were drowned out in a wave OF
concern over our clear inferiorlty
to Russia in the long -range mis-
sileS field.
Suddenly the scientific conSid-
erations Of the ICY almost dis
appeared from the thoughts OF
the on-Communist world. In
stead. these stupendous achieve
ments of science. in themselves
entirely unwarlike. we're seen only
as harbingers Of disaster. States
men and military men began talk
ing Of an overall" strength of the
West. mostly in the form OF

least to hold a precarious edge
over Soviet military potentials.
While Russias successes we're
being mirrored in her attitudes
toward world problems at the
United Nations and in the harsh
complacency of Nikita Khru-
shchevs public announcements.
American dismay took form. It
resulted in Cd the hasty initiation
