Role Discounted

NEW YORK, Oct. Z p, -
Willy Ley, a leading German
born rocket expert, says the
Soviet earth satellite is a prod
uct OF Russian science and not
OF captured German experts.

that the United States coulc
have sent a satellite rotating
around the earth as much as q
year ago Dat II wouldn't have

has been newspaper science
editor and has worked FOR the
Government as a research engl-
neer IN the Commerce Depart
ment Once OF Technical Sery-
ices.
Asked If the Soviet satellite
was made possible because the
Russians had the right Ger
man Dr. Ley replied.
This is almost certainly
wrong unless the Germans had
rocket experts they didn't know
anything about"
II you have $50 million peo-
pie. II is obvious you must have
some very bright ones among
them. he said.

The satellite was first seen
at an elevation Of 10 degrees
north Of west. 1t crossed the
sky. reaching maximum ele-
walton of so degrees and then
disappeared into the sunlit
southeastern sky.
Mr.. Leonard, who was the
first TO see it, had predicted
correctly the exact spot where
1t would appear, The three men
were at the Ballaines Lake re-
ceiver site Of the institute. a
mile north Of the university
campus
Like a Shooting Star
When the three heard the
satellites radio signals they
rushed from the building. They
had no difficulty spotting the
satellite against the dark sky
as the suns rays from the east
reflected on its mirrored sur
face.
Ny. Leonard said it was a
point source like a star and was
brighter than the planet Jupi-
ter. 1t moved slowly across the
sky like a shooting star.
The station has been mon
itoring the satellite by its
radio signals each night since
Russia announced its launch
ing. Dr. Little said the orbit
Of the satellite appears to be
inclined at s. degrees relative

satellite TO within one mile Of

Inclination indicates the Rus
