Korean conflict.
She got a message from
Korea which had been relayed

and was an assurance" mes
sage telling the mother that
her son was all right and for
her not to worry about HIM. J.
The serviceman had been
missing in Korea for about a

Academician l.. Sedov wrote
'"rhe entire preparatory work

tail. The result was that In
the Soviet Union there were
no unsuccessful attempts in

only two attempts were
carried out and both were sue
cessful. II can be noted also
that the launching Of the So
Wet satellites was carried out
somewhat earlier than origi-
nally planned"
Sedov cited Americas difh-
culties with their satellite. But
he said the United States has

An undetailed announcement
that a propulsion system
mechanical failure wrecked the
Vanguard launching last Fri
day raised further questions
today. These dealt not only
with responsibility fore last

table for another test.
Queries and demands in and
out OF Congress included a
suggestion by Trevor Gardner.

research program. that quite
a few people" be discharged
for failure TO fire the VAN

The former Assistant Secre-
tary Of the Air Force said in
Pasadena he would begin by

on the Navy's failure TO put
up the Vanguard as the first
United States earth satellite.
The exact reasons for that
failure were not disclosed IN a
brief announcement ~ the
Office of Naval ReSC . n late
yesterday. The Office said 1t
had determined the cause Of
the failure but said only that
it was caused by a mechanical
failure in the propulsion sys-
tenn. details of which are classi-
fed"
Although there have been
unofficial rumors or speculation
that the Navy will make an
other attempt to launch the
relatively small. Vanguard sat-
elite rocket within a few weeks.
a Defense Department spokeS-
man said there is no firm sche-
dule for such a try. He ex-
planned that the program for
putting a fully instrumented
satellite into space by next
March is not expected to be
jeopardized by last Fridays
mishap.
Sees Funds Voted
Meanwhile. Senator Kuchel.
Republican Of Californis. said
the American people ARE de-
manding that this country
forge ahead in the missile field.

Senator Kuchel added that
in his judgment Congress is
ready TO vote defense money
"on any reasonable considered
and justified basis"
The failure Of the Vanguard

comments in various quarters,
including new congressional
demands for acceleration Of the

Commends Stevenson
Mr.. Dulles praised Adlai

Mr.. Dulles added.
Mr.. Stevenson made quite q

Sile bases in Europe would do

cratic criticism that the admin

gency in the face of Soviet
military achievements. The
administration has indicated 1t

impetus by calling the heads Of

meeting. he said.
Uncertain on Italy's Plan
Italy's plan for setting up an
l8-nation development loan
fund for the Middle East is
basically sound. Secretary Dulles
said. but he has many questions
about how to carry II into ef-
feet. One of these is whether
the NATO label. or that Of the
Organization for European Eco
lnomic Cooperation. is suitable
for the development fund.
There have been reports that
United States planners are now
ready 10 license West German

The missiles usually men,

West German officials have
indicated. however. that they
are not eager TO have their in
