One Of the questions SUBJ
mitted 70 DR.. Hagen. the head

way:
"T'he USSR was expected e
launch a satellite about every

about two months since their

Ilites2"
Probably So" DR.. Hagen
replied. adding:
I'VE have no real knowledge
of what happened in the very
early stages of their rocket

that they had a great many

Area sales in the final wee

The downtown portion OF the

above that Of a year ago In the
four weeks. The weeks sales
downtown were 30 per cent
ahead Of 1856 levels, despite a
drop Of 46 per cent from Tie
previous week.
The persistence Of late shop
ping was in line with a survey
conducted by The Star on De-
cember 10. At that time mer-
chandise managers predicted
that late buying would send

Of a year ago.
