side q glass-enclosed teletype
, room.
Heading the cast was DR.,
John p. Hagen, director Of
Project Vanguard.
With pipe in hand, he moved
from machine to machine, tele-
phone to telephone. asking and
answering questions.
By midnight it was common
knowledge that the Army had
launched a multi-stage rocket
at 10:48 pm. at the Florida
Missile. Test Center.
1t was not known, however
whether the satellite was in
orbit.
The wait was long. Two long
hours.
The first indication came
from the Antique minitrack sta
ton in the Caribbean Sea at
12:45. The whole crew rushed
to the teletype when it began
to click. But Antique did not
have a complete report.
News From San Diego
Two minutes later someone
signaled to DR.. Hagen. He
rushed to a teletype receiving
data from San Diego. Calf
Again, everybody clustered
around the machine, now tick
ing furiously.
Smiles quickly rushed to their
faces.
But one orbit report did not
seem enough. They contained
their glee until the Havana
teletype machine began to pump
information.
Havana got q pass, too"
someone called out.
Smiles, similar to those
being recorded throughout the
country today. again reap
peared on the faces of the tired
crew. This time for keeps.
Then came the official an
nouncement at the center from
DR.. Hagen:
THE Army is to be congratu-
lated on its success in launch
ing an earth satellite as part of
our International Geophysical
Year effort. The minitrack
network is tracking and re-
ceiving data and an orbit is
now being computed"

and meteorites.
The bigger. battery is ex-
pected to last two weeks. The
other probably will operate
about two months.
Celebration Planned
The launching Of the Ex-
plorer came on the eve of the
second birthday anniversary
of the Army ballistic missile
agency at Huntsville. Ala. Gen.
Medaris told newsmen a cele-
bration had been planned at
Huntsville and It'll be a
whopper now"
Gen. Medaris went to nearby
Patrick Air Force Base soon
after the firing to meet with
newsmen In q theater there.
After answering hundreds Of
questions, Gen. Medaris begged
the reporters to end the con-
ference $50 I can get a couple
of hours sleep and be in shape
for that celebration"
Asked what the Army will
do next, Gen. Medaris said
it had made several proposals
for other programs.
He declined to amplify, but
asserted that when, your Army
runs out of resources you'1l be
in a heck of a fix"
While he and several scien-
lists associated with the Jupi-
ter c program talked to news
men here, DR.. Won Braun met
with reporters in Washington.
Nixon Halls Achievement
To Vice President Nixon the
launching demonstrates to the
world that there is no monop-
oily of scientific capability." Mr..
Nixon, in Washington, said the
achievement emphasizes the
wisdom Of President Eisenhow-
er's proposal" that space be
explored in the cause Of peace
rather than war.
1t. Gen. James M. Gavin.
who is quitting his job as chief
of Army research and develop
ment, pledged to continue to
move forward in this explora-
tion." He is leaving his post
in March in protest against
budget limitations on the
Army.
The director bf the Nays
Vanguard project, DR.. John
P. Hagen, said in a statement:
THE Army is to be congratu-
lated"
The Navy will get a chance
soon to catch up. A Vanguard
rocket is being worked over
at the test center here and an
effort to fire it is expected in
the very near future.

by comparing it with recent un-
successful United States at

Only a few hours before the
announcement of the successful
launching. the Government
newspaper said today:
Nearly the same thing hap
pened to the Ankara session

Stevenson Asks
Panel on Arms

NEW YORK, Feb. d.
Adlai E. Stevenson has called
for a world panel of private
citizens to sift arms plans in
an effort to end an East West
deadlock over disarmament.
Under Mr.. Stevenson's pro-
posal, the United Nations Sec
rotary General would select the
members of the group and the
panel would evaluate disarma-
ment recommendations so as
ito clear the air of all the bunk
and phony proposals"
Mr.. Stevenson made his pro-
posal last night in a speech
before the 10th annual Ma
tional Roosevelt Day dinner.
The dinner was given by Amer
leans for Democratic Action in
honor of the late President
Franklin D. Roosevelt.
Would Work Privately
The committee, Mr.. Stevenson
said, would be composed of top
men of affairs and science.
chosen by the secretary gen.
eral from anywhere and every
where and acceptable to the
nuclear powers" He said the
group would work in private
and given an advisory report.
This report, he said would
take the great life and death
issue of our age out of the
realm of competing propa-
ganda."
The report also would give
countries not possessing nuclear
weapons some degree of re-
sponsibility for breaking the
vicious circle" he said.
Most people, Mr.. Stevenson
said, are frightened bystanders
who UNDERSTANDABLE tend to
back any move, no matter how
impractical. that would seem
to bring the Soviet Union and
the United States together"
by clarifying and narrowing
the issues" he said, ''it could
provide a businesslike basis for
serious negotiation among the
nuclear powers"
Urges Economic Aid
The twice-defeated Demo-
cratic candidate for President
said that under present condi-
tons he doubted any major
political settlement is possible
because nobody trusts any
body"
He also doubted that "propa-
ganda letters, a little meeting
at the summit or a town meet
ing Of all nations" would help
much.
Confidence has to be built
step by step, he declared.
He called on the United
States to compete with the
Soviet Union in technical aid
and economic assistance to
under-developed nations.
The ADA is self-described as
a nonpartisan organization
devoted to the principles Of
the New Deal and the Fair
Deal.

Robert H. Dollar Of Spring

area moonwatch teams, said
the Smithsonian Astrophysical
Observatory at C m bridge.
Mass, alerted moonwatchers to
look for the satellite at twilight
tonight. But the announcement
was later revised when it was
indicated the object will not
swing more than IS degrees
north of the equator.
With that path, it would re-
quire better than excellent
spotting conditions to view it.
Perhaps the first announce
ment here that the United
States Army satellite was in
orbit came in the form of smiles.
1t came at 12:47 o'clock this
morning at the Vanguard con-
troll center at the Naval Re-
search Laboratory.
The unusual announcement
was mum and unofficial, but
Enthusiastically accurate.
And it came from a crew of
Navy scientists and teletype OPP
orators. working around the
clock since the first Russian
satellite was launched.

the satellite. Gen. Medaris
said the distance from the
earth in its eliptical orbit would
range between 1876 and 1890
miles. DR.. Wernher Won Braun,
designer Of the rocket. said it
would swing as high as 1000
miles and as low as 230.
Differ on Speed
DR. won Braun said the s.
foot-long metal tube is circling
the earth once every 1l3
minutes. Gen. Medaris said
the time was LOG minutes.
They disagreed also on the
baby mons speed. DR.. Won
Braun figured it at 19.400
m.p.h.: Gen. Medaris said all
most exactly $4,000.
The Satellite-christened the
Explorer by its Army sponsors

coming to earth from out in
space. Sputnik ] has disinte-
grated and the radio batteries
of the dog-carrying Sputnik II
have long been dead.
Two hours after the firing,
Gen. Medaris told news con-
ference here that the Army
"has been directed to fire one
more (satellite) at the present
time"
The date has been set. he
said, but will be kept secret.
The Army received q go
ahead to launch its little space
traveller after the Russians had
fired their two sputniks. Pre-
viously, the space program had
been assigned exclusively to the
Navy.
NO SURPRISE 70 ARMY
Last nights spectacular sue
cess was no surprise to the
Army, which claimed it could
have done the job long before
the Sputniks if it had been
given the chance.
Gen. Medaris was so conf
dent that in a statement pre-
pared several days ago he pre-
dicted about 80 per cent
degree probability" for success
on the Army's first try.
