The consensus of the scien-
lists was that Russia may have
aa slim edge now in the ICBM
race but could well lose any ad-
vantage in the next couple of
years. They all expressed doubts
Russia now has an operational
ICBM.
Here is what they said in
copyrighted interviews in the
current issue of the magazine
U. S. News g. World Report.
DR.. Theodore Won Karman,
senior missile adviser to NATO
in Paris: g. l am convinced
we can have operational
ICBM's in 1860. I don't believe
the Russians will have them
before that"
DR.. Walter r. Dornberger,
Bell Aircraft Corp. official who
directed development of Ger
many's wartime W. rocket: Il
think our ICBM program is
very well on its way, and there
are certain limits. You can't
put in more and more money
and more and more effort;
there is a point of no return.
l think we can accelerate it a
little bit-there is no doubt
about it. They aren't so far
ahead that we won't catch up
with them"
DR.. S. Fred Singer, University
of Maryland astrophysicist: Il

program really got going in
1854, it has been we'll man.
aged: that, while there may be
something lacking in co-opera-
ton, it has already been quite
good, and all indications are
that we are at least up to par
with them"
Dr.. Singer said that in the
field of long range missiles, the
Russians may have a lead in
the propulsion field of "a few
weeks or months" But he
added that I'VE may we'll he

He said in response to a ques-

on the verge Of having an
ICBM whereas there is no as

close.

Witnesses will include DR..

New Satellite Era Owes
Debt to u. S. Pioneer

Four decades ago, a brilliant
American physicist envisioned
sending rocket to the moon.
No one took DR.. Robert H.
Goddard seriously. Yet the
New England professor was
not INDUCING in Jules Verne
fantasy. His was coldly scien-
tific view of the future. seen
through his own trail-blazing
research in rocket propulsion.
Today the late DR.. Goddard
is recognized as a grandfather
of space travel. In Europe as
well as the United States his
pioneer experiments in the
1920s and sos are credited with
having opened the way to de-
velopment of rockets capable of
launching artificial satellites.
A historic Goddard rocket
wobbled skyward in 1926 from
a farm near Auburn. Mass, the
National Geographic Society re-
calls. The flimsy looking,
skeletal device rose only Al feet,
but its flight was the beginning
OF a new era in rocketry.
Used Liquid Fuels
In it's design DR.. Goddard
had broken away from the
limitations of solid fuels then
available and invented a sue
cessful liquid-fuel rocket with
the potential of powerful jet
thrustS.
His theory of fuels proved
sound. The Germans used
many Of his conclusions in de-
veloping World War lis long
range VIZ.
DR.. Goddard produced tbs
first gyro-stabilized rocket. In
1885 one of his rockets rose
$500 feet above New Mexico.
Still another reached the then
incredible speed of 700 miles an
hour.
One Goddard invention, a
recoilless rocket launcher which
the American military ignored
in 1918. turned out to be the
famed baZooka of World War II.
In all, he held some 200
patents.
Curiously. DR.. Goddard's
work got little attention in his
own country until shortly be-
fore the second World War. He
served in wartime at the Navy
research laboratories in An
napolis. helping develop jet
assisted offs for aircraft.
He died at Baltimore in l945.
Hoped to Explore Space
Like many pioneers, DR.. God
dard walked a lonely road,
often ignored, often looking for
financial aid to continue his
work. He was born in Worces-
ter. Mass. He spent much of his
professional life there, first as
an instructor at the Worcester
Polytechnic Institute. then as
physics professor at Clark Uni
versity. Local alarm at his ex-
periments finally drove him to
the wastes of New Mexico-not.
far from today's White Sands
Proving Grounds.
Dr.. Goddard was chiefly in
terested in finding a way to ex-
plore the upper atmosphere. In
a letter to the National Geo.
graphic Society in 1916, he
wrote of the vast amount of
information that is to be
gained by the sending of APP
paratus into the region that
lies above 100 to 200 miles from
the surface of the earth"
In a classic, slim monograph,
published by the Smithsonian
Institution in 1919. DR.. God
dard explained, "A search for
methods Of raising recording
apparatus beyond the range for
sounding balloons tabout 20
miles led the writer to develop
a theory of rocket action"
DR.. Goddard in 1919 set forth
the principle of multi-stage
rockets, which the Russians

the factories. When they first
started appearing in 1852. their
decision-making powers were
strictly limited. For the most
part they still are, although
some of the older councils now
are learning how to take the
initiative effectively in their
own behalf.
The principal area in which
workers councils have had an
effective voice up to now has
been in awarding supplementary
wages where enterprises were
exceptionally profitable. and in
spending a "self disposal fund"
which has amounted to from
/ to 5 per cent of the gross
value Of each enterprises out

Father Drinan answers that mo

edge has ever said that accepting
$4,000 aliens each year would be
detrimental to the nations econ

state that 250,000 would be harm
