Of the orbit were such that

the satellite back to earth.p
These questions were raised
by the South African radio
and Moonwatch reports:
/. If the satellite was on
time over South Africa on its
first pass, what happened to
throw it out of an apparent
orbit later?
2. If Moonwatch teams really
saw Vanguard on a second pass
at the proper place and time,
what happened to it after
that?
Might Be Inaccurate
The possibility always re-
mains, of course, that the re-
ported sightings were not ac-
curate. Scientists were re-
checking them this week end.
There were indications yes
terday that many people high
in the space business were wish
ing the whole Vanguard pro-
gram would get lost. All rec
ognized the contributions Of
the Vanguard project to the
development Of space-prohing
missiles, but the fact Of six
failures in seven tries could not
be denied.
It appeared likely that an
Alphonse and CASTOR act would
shortly be staged between the
Pentagon's Advanced Research
Projects Agency and the new
National Aeronautics and
Space Agency which comes into
being Wednesday. Each seems
virtually certain to offer the
Vanguard program to the other
with increasing inSiStence in
the next few weeks.
ARPA's position is that under
the terms of the new Space Act,
nonmilitary projects should be
turned over forthwith to the
civilian space agency. From
the outset Vanguard has been
a scientific-as opposed to q
military-program. Therefore,
according to ARPA logic, the
time to make the transfer to

NASA, however, gives indi-

The sixth failure in seven attempts in the istarred Van

Department yesterday
The announcement came in two nstalments whose cunu
ative effect was to double mystery while dpelline
single one. t@ht
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1958-09-28

The first, a terse paragraph
Advanced Research Projects
Agency. said only that the
Vanguard satellite launched
shortly before noon Friday at
Cape Canaveral. Fla, had failed
to achieve an orbit,
The second, a lengthy report
from the Naval Research Lab
oretory, said the satellite was
lost before 1t had made one
circle Of the earth and was
never positively located again,
The Biggest Question
ARPA's tight-lipped state
ment raised the biggest question
Of all: What is going to happen
to the Nations Oldest and least
successful satellite program?
And the NRL's carefully
worded report contained a
sketchily drawn picture Of UNI
usual happenings aloft which
caused observers to wonder
what really happened to Van
guard II.
The twin announcements did
end final speculation that the
2ih-pound, 20-inch sphere. its
two radio transmitters some
how silenced, might be circling
the earth in an orbit so far un-
discovered. Both agencies said
fatty that the satellite mast
have re-entered the atmosphere
and burned out no more than a
few hours after launching.
Probably the biggest ques-
ton still unanswered concern
ed the curious behavior OF the
satellite itself-behavior that
3 in some respects seemed al
most q violation Of natural
laws.
4 Near South Africa
In its statement, NRL an
nounced that the satellite had
been tracked by radio as far
down range as Esselen Park,
South Africa.
Though the statement itself
did not say so. a reliable source
close to the Vanguard project
added that the South African
readings indicated that the
satellite was on schedule for
an "orbiting pass" around the
earth. This would mean. if the
computations were correct. that
the satellite was about 800
miles up and travelling $4,000
miles an hour-an altitude and
speed which should have been
5 sufficient to keep it in orbit for
months or even years.

and a Minitrack station at Ha-

nails being from another sat-
elite had been ruled out, but
that they could not be definitely
linked to Vanguard II.
Later, the Navy added, 9

The Royal Teens Turn Gag Into New Hit
With Their Recording Of Short Shorts
By HARRY BACAS
Star staff Writer

The Royal Teens wrote
"Short Shorts" to order.
The four boys-aged Is to Is
had been playing and singing
around New Jersey for several
months when a professional
manager, Leo Rogers, was in
troduced to them.
f. Mr.. Rogers said the best way
for them to make a name would
be to record several songs. And
If possible, they should be orig
inals, he said.
So the boys wrote five or six
rock and roll tunes and they
were recorded. Tommy Austin.
10. played drums. Bill Dalton.
IT. played guitar and bass.
Larry Qualiano. II, played sax
ophone, clarinet and flute. Bob
Claudio, 16, played piano.
One of the numbers was
called Short Shorts" 1t was
an instrumental. Mr.. Rogers
said it should have words. He
asked what the title meant.
They told him:
"Oh, one of the boys was
switching lot one day and we
asked, what's the matter?' He
said his shorts were too tight.
Somebody said, oh, you mean
h o r t shorts Everybody
laughed and we just thought
we'd name a tune by that
name"
Mr.. Rogers said the title was
all right, but change the idea.
So Tommy and Bob worked out
some simple lyrics about My
girl wears short shorts" and
the song was re-recorded. On
this second session, they also
added the voice of a girl, Diana
Lee.
The record was released on
Mr.. Rogers own label, Power,
and rose swiftly in popular
favor. ABC Paramount outbid
several other companies to buy
the master and issue Short
Shorts" on its own label.
