with the Reds pouring out one
scientific achievement after an
other, the Naval moonwatchers
kept a sharp lookout-just in
case.
Meanwhile, Russia's flying
doghouse, Sputnik II, made a
spectacular sweep across the
United States before sunrise
today.
The Smithsonian Observa-
tory at Cambridge got reports
Of sightings throughout New
England. New York State. as
far south as Washington and
west to Ohio.
Becomes Dim at Times
Sputnik lis brig htn e S S
changed every few seconds un=
til at times it was almost as
dim as a faint star. This is
because the rocket-shaped
satellite is tumbling. 1t was
brightest when its broadside
reflected the light Of the early
morning sun.
Two other early morning
passes over the Nation were
expected later farther to the
west. Yesterday a number of
sightings were reported from
widely scattered places
throughout the country.
Sputnik IFS orbit carries the
half-ton vehicle and its dog
passenger about 1000 miles into
space at its farthest point. But
scientists at the observatory
said this second Russian sat-
elite will be at an altitude OF
about l40 miles when it passes
over the United States.
Dogs Condition Satisfactory
The Soviet news agency Tass
said in Moscow last night that
Laika, the little dog strapped
inside Sputnik II, was in salts
factory condition after four
days in the sky. The Russians
have said they are getting radio
information from the satellite
on Laika's heart action, blood
pressure and breathing.
Tass also said Sputnik II
completed its saith trip around
the earth last night. This
satellite was launched last
Sunday. The Soviet news
agency said the first Russian
space vehicle. a small sphere,
had completed 500 circuits and
Its carrier rocket had finished
$40 round trips. Sputnik /.
accompanied by the rocket that
pushed it aloft. has been in
orbit since October 4.
Or, Fred L. Whipple. director
of the Smithsonian Observa-
tory. said there still had not
been enough accurate United
States observations to permit
American astronomers to make
exact predictions to Sputnik
lis orbit. However. he said
data received so far allows pre-
dictions that are accurate to
within one degree Of the satel-
lltes actual path.
The Russians. for obvious
reasons. we're having no major
difficulties in plotting the orbit
Of their second space vehicle.
Based on Radio Reports
Tass said that on the basis
OF three days Of radio reports
from Sputnik ii It was possible
to ascertain its orbit more ex-
actly and to estimate that the
second satellite would stay up
much longer than Sputnik /.
Some American scientists have
predicted the first satellite will
drop December II to a flaming
death in the heavier atmos-
phere closer to the earth.
According to Tass. the time
for a single trip around the
earth by Sputnik II had been
reduced from 1897 minutes to
1885. The agency said this rate
Of reduction is slower than that
OF Sputnik !.
Consequently" Tass said.
we can expect the second

Sputnik to last a great deal
longer"
So far. American scientists
have received little information
from the Russians on the two
satellites. althou ugh their
launchings ostensibly were part
of a cooperative worldwide
research effort under the ICY.
Hugh Odishaw, executive see
rotary Of the United States
National Committee for the
ICY. said yesterday American
officials do not expect to re-
ceive any such information
from the Russians on Sputnik
II for several months at a
minimum. He said this esti-
mate is based on our own ex-
perience with data from our
own rocket program for the
ICY"
No Data Sent Out
I'VE haven't yet sent data
anywhere" Mr.. Odishaw said,
adding that it takes some time
to collect and study informa-
ton from the various research
stations before finished reports
can be prepared.
The Pentagon yesterday dis
counted reports that the United
States would make a satellite
launching attempt next week
In so doing, the Defense De-
partment underscored a state
ment by President Eisenhower
on october 9-that firing of
small test spheres is planned for
next month. with a fully in
strumented satellite scheduled
for launching in March.
c. Herschel Schooley, the de-
partment'S public information
director, said this continues to
be the satellite test program of
the immediate future"
The White House indicated
yesterday that when Mr.. Eisen-
hover speaks to the Nation to-
night. he will have no news to
give of any special American
advances in the scientific field.
Constant Watch on Moon
In Las Cruces N. M, a group
Of astronomers working in IS
minute shifts kept a nearly
constant watch on the moon
last night, on the chance they
might see a Russian rocket
hit it.
The five observers used a
l20-power telescope. Clyde
Tombaugh. discoverer of the
planet Pluto. said the rela-
lively low powered telescope
was used in order that they
could see the entire surface of
the moon.
He said there was a rumor
early in the evening that a
Russian rocket might land
about 8 pm. INST. He and
his associates maintained a
continual watch at that time
but failed to detect anything.
He said it would not be pos
sible to spot the rocket on its
way toward the moon since it
would be moving SO slowly. to
all appearances. that it would
resemble star.

He said he was impressed by

Proposes Program
He suggested the following
three-point program to regain
what he called complete leader
ship in the field of rocket and
missile development:
/. A thorough and objective
study by Congressional COM
mittees to develop long-range
programs. He did not say speci-
fically whether he thought a
House committee should con-
duct an inquiry similar to the
hearings to be started late. this
month by the Senate Prepar-
edness subcommittee.
2. Shorter range missiles
should be made available both
to United States armed forces
and to the atomic warfare
trained forces of NATO and the
Baghdad Pact areas. Such a
move. Senator Bridges said
could "checkmate for the time
being any aggressive intentions
that the Soviet Union may have
been encouraged to develop be-
cause of their temporary SUI
periority in the development of
long-range missiles"
3. Creation of a missile and
satellite program co-ordinator
in the Executive Branch of the
Government. This official would
be responsible only to the
President and the Secretary of

be to assure a stepped-up pro-

Mrs. Wheaton said the Presi-

She disclosed that Arthur
Larson, former director of the

was to have delivered tonight's

Bipartisan Farley
On December 3 the President.
will meet with an unusually
large group of Senate and
House leaders TO discuss plans
for action in the 1858 session
Of Congress to bolster national

out invitations to IS Republic
cans and Democrats for the
White House conference.
Next day he will have a

sional leaders of the Republic
can Party only. They will dis
cuss domestic legislation.
Two weeks later the Presi-

points in years.
Senators Kennedy of Massa-
