In reply. to questions from Mr.

more than pleased with re-
suits" from informal arrange
mentS later worked out and 81
am convinced the news media
in general are delighted"
Public Interest Items Covered
up until the December
firing no official information
had been made available to the
press prior to any firing. AL
coverage was slipshod, photog-
raphy was of poor quality,
Gen. Yates said.
THE ability to report accu-
rately on firings of their choice
the provision of information to
them regarding schedules and
background on the various fir
ings. plus ideal facilities from
which to observe, photograph
and report these events, has
enabled them to cover more
effectively and completely
items Of public interest.
In addition, the elimination
lof practically all speculation
and cut-throat competition fol
facts has given our security
program a tremendous shot in
the arm"
Gen. Yates said his authority
for Withholding nonclassifieo
information comes from the
Office of the Secretary of De-
Tense. Also, his position a:
commander of the test center
carries inherent responsibility
for re- son able precautior

said.
He said none Of the newsmen

Hailed
By Protestant
Group

A predonninantly Protestant
organization yesterday de-
scribed as lone of the most
significant victories of religious
tolerance in our times" the con-
viction Of a Roman Catholic
bishop in Italy on a charge of
defaming an atheist and his
Catholic wife.
Protestants and Other Amer
leans United for Separation Of
Church and State offered to
back any "hona f1de Catholic
or ex-Catholic" who wishes to
sue his American priest or
bishop for "libels or ISLANDERS"
arising out Of Catholic teaching
that civil marriage for Cath-
olics results in "low and
abominahle concuhinage."
Glenn L. Archer. executive
director of POAU. said in a
statement the same principle
as that in the italian case
should be extended to the
United States where the Catho-
lie Church teaches the same
discriminatory gospel"
Surely" Mr.. Archer said,
there should be as much free
dom from clerical. SANDER in
the United States as in Italy"
He added:
Probably the great majority
Iof the Catholic people in the
United States look with horror
upon the narrow teachings of
their bishops on this subject,
but they are helpless to alter
the rules and rectify the injus-
.tice without the aid of Ameri-
can non-Catholics.
THE rules could be modified
if enough Americans stood up
and demanded that priests who
are licensed to marry people in
our gdernoeratic society should
recognize those laws as a con-
dition Of the license grant.
Marriage in our society is
regulated by the people, and we
are happy to see that even in
Italy, a country with a Vatican
concordat, that principle is
being recognized"
Mr.. Archer said 1--WE have
abundant evidence" that Cath
Ollie leaders are frequently
charging reputable married
Catholics with illegal and i'm
moral conduct simply because
they have chosen to be mar
ried in good faith by American
public officials or non-Catholic
lclergymen."

and Congress to decide. They
have to determine how much
We can afford to spend on the
conquest Of space. at the same
time keeping our national de-
tense and economy healthy.
@. What are the next likely
Developments over the next 10
to is years? And would they
come faster if we were able to
cooperate with the Russians?
A. 1t is useless to talk OF
cooperation with the Russians
in a thing like this. They never
share anything military.
Bigger Satellites Next
The next steps? The next
step win be to send up bigger
satellites, ones that will stay
up a longer time. These will
carry many instruments, in
GLIDING television for recon-
Nuisance. They will store I'D
information to be sent back
when they come over the
United States. These will weigh
q ton or two. Well have them
in two to three years.
Next might come a shot to
the moon or this might come
first or at the same time. These
developments ! mention will
not necessarily follow one at a
time but will often overlap.
With present rockets 200
pounds can now be sent to the
moon with radiosonde equip
ment for sending back infor-
nation. With the same rockets
we can now send 20 pounds TO
Mars.
Then there will come a shot
around the moon again collect
ing pictures and information to
be sent back to earth when this
satellite comes nearest to us.
This will come in the next two
years, maybe three. And we
will be able then to send 20
pounds of equipment around
Mars. We might try to get
these back but it will be 100
per cent luck.if we succeed.
After that, maybe overlap
ping, we will get up still heav-
Ter satellites into permanent
orbits, 10000 to 10000 pounds.

President Calls
Arms Pact Vital.

President Eisenhower said to-
day that no problem now con-
fronting America is more vital
than trying to get an effective
disarmament agreement with
Russia.
He emphasized that the
United States is determined to
exert every effort to assure
that obstacles. procedural or
substantive. will not continue
to interrupt our genuine striv-
ing ITO remove the arms race
threat to the world.
The President made these re-
marks in a letter to James
J. Wadsworth. deputy United
States Representative to the
United Nations who recently
was named as this country's
chief negotiator for possible
future disarmament talks with
the Russians under U. N. aus-
pices. y
Policy Review Reported
6 The letter was made public
at the White House as it was
reported that the administers
ton plans to review policy that
50 far has held out against
agreeing with the Soviet to
nuclear weapons tests
until the Russians also agree
to stop production Of such
weapons.
: Harold E. Stassen, who re.
Gently resigned as the Presi-
dents disarmament adviser to
run for the Republican nomi-
nation for Governor Of Penn

flexible policy regarding a test
ban.
Mr.. Stassen's Job as such has
been abolished. Mr.. Wads-
worth will carry on the nego.
tiating work he formerly did,
If the Russians agree to further
negotiations in the U. N. Dis
Subcommittee.
Threats Cited
In thanking Mr.. Wadsworth
today for taking on the extra
job, Mr.. Eisenhower said:
1T will not be an easy task,
I know. OF all the problems
confronting our country and its
Government today, none is
more vital than that Of finding
a way to relieve mankind of the
burden of devising, developing
and maintaining arms which
could lead to mankind'S self
destruction.
1.-THE burden is not only a
danger to life itself, but, be-
cause of its ever-growing cost,
and increasing threat to the
economic well being and secur-'
ity of everyone"

computers digest the radar in
formation and trace the mis-
Isile's path in ink on a chart.

Data Recorded for Study
In another room the soft ra-
dio voice of the missile itself is
picked up and sorted into a
handful Of different messages.
/. Each message tells Of some
personal detail in the physical
well-being inside the missile.
The messages, recorded on
tape, can be used later to ana
lyze the reasons why the mis-
sile succeeded or failed.
The responsibility for these
jobs passes like a wave down

Few missiles are slated to be
fired the entire distance. Some

GRAND BAHAMA ISLAND,
Mar. 3 (P).-This drab little
Ipine-covered island is a grand
stand seat to watch the success
or failure of United States
space weapons.
For the first time the Air
Force this week end gave news
men a close look at one lonely
station along their 12-base,
5.000-mile firing range for
guided and ballistic missiles.
Grand Bahama Island, or
OBI as ~ is called, is typical
of the down range bases that
angle on to the southeast from
the firing site at Cape Canav-
eraI Fla.
The natives Of this British
island have little awareness of
the great roaring missiles that
pass out of sight and hearing
more than a hundred miles
above.
But to the tight little COM
munity of United States tech
nicians the occasional missile
shoot means a few minutes of
intense and complete mobiliza-
ton.
Alerted by Courier
They are alerted beforehand
by an Air Force courier bring
ing instructions by hand to in

might cover the radio frequen-
cy set for the missile shoot.

plans they may have. The
weekly magazine Newsweek in
its March 10 issue will say
General Motors and Ford are
going into production of small
cars and may have them on
the market late in 1859.
The magazine said the cars
will be priced at from $1,000 to
81 800 and will resemble the
GIN and Ford European-made
cars.
Market Held Factor
General Motors and Ford said
the Newsweek statement was
speculative and declined fur
ther comment.
However. industry experts are
reasonably certain General Mo-
tors, Ford and Chrysler could
put a smaller. lower priced car
into production in this country
in a matter of months, should
they decide the market war;
ranted it.
GIN and Ford have had broad
experience in the production of
their Corvette and Thunderbird
models. These are not low
priced models. but If their ma
terialS costs could be reduced
they could furnish the design
for models to compete with such
makes as the Volkswagen, Re-
nault, MIG or others in the
below-$2. 0O0-price class.
