ership will take up the admin
istration program.
He observed that the admin
iStration favors more compre-
hensive legislation in this
field than AFL-CIO President
George Meany is willing to
accept.
Aiken Plan Rejected
Mr.. Mitchell rejected pro-
posalS by Senator Aiken, Re-
publican of Vermont, that Con-
gress consider legislating a
four-day work week, a guaran-
teed annual wage and a profit
sharing program. Any develop
ments in these areas should
come about through natural
means" not by law or edict,"
Mr.. Mitchell said.
He also said he opposed di-
rect Federal action to head off
ia possible increase in steel
prices next July /. The ad-
ministration, he said, should
conflne its efforts to urging
voluntary restraint" on wage
and price boosts, rather than
trying to impose direct con-
trolls.
Mr., Mitchell estimated S1.1
billion was paid to unemployed
workers under various compen-
sation programs during the
first quarter Of this year. He
said an average of 2.7 million
workers received benefits each
week during that period.
He said it would be impracti-
cal to pay benefits as proposed
by the Democrats to the l.6
million unemployed workers
not now eligible for compensa-
ton benefits. Such coverage,
he said. would damage the
existing system.

The commission pointed out to-
day the air museum would be

Thompson Letter
Representative Thompson,
Democrat of New Jersey, wrote
"a letter to the commission,
which said that the National
Capital Planning Commission
is stacked against the District
government, because many of
its members come from out-of =

He declared the center must
have the best and choicest site
and the Mall site is the only
one that measures up. He
pointed out the air museum
would be paid for out of taxes,
whereas it is planned to con-
struct the center through pri-
vate funds and accordingly an
unusual site is needed to at
tract the money.
In other actions, the COM
mission voted to authorize its
staff to study the possibility of
moving its headquarters to the
District Building, new mu-
'nicipal center or adjacent To-
cations, where related operat-
ing agencies of the Govern
ment, with which it does buSi-

Bureau of Yards and Docks.
But he insisted that there
be no reason to antici-
pate a more drastic use of the
authority under the new Ian
guage than has been made un-
der existing law"
Secretary's Authority
In response to Mr.. Wilson's
question as to why the Secre-
tary Of Defense needed any
further authority relating to
or consolidation In the
establishment, Mr..
said:
Since the present law does
not permit the transfer, con-
Solidation, reassignment or
abolishment of combatant
functions, there is a legal basis
for resisting any decision of the
Secretary of Defense. Our in
tent therefore is not to make a
sweeping realignment of the
services or their administra-
tion but rather, in the national
to be able to make
decisions in those areas
which invite duplication and
the necessary expenditure of
resources"

mony by advising the commit

tinkering can take the

that impacts have a sand
blasting" effect on the surface
of an object in space. Such
sandblasting, scientists believe,
could eventually ruin the solar
batteries which power satellites.
Temperature Control Simple
Temperature control inside
the satellite proved almost ri
diculously simple, according to
DR. A. w. Hibbs of the Jet
Propulsion Laboratory at Pasa-
dena, Calf. Despite great varia-
tionS in surface temperature
when Explorer l was in direct
sunlight and in the earth's
shadow. temperatures inside
were held between the rela-
lively comfortable limits of 80
and l04 degrees Fahrenheit,
DR.. Hibbs said.
This was done by placing
strips of heat-radiating alu-
minum oxide on the surface of
the satellite.
Lessons learned from the
temperature control expert
DR.. Hibbs said, indicate
that with more elaborate tech
niques the inner temperature of
a larger space vehicle could
easily be controlled within a
much narrower range of varia-
ton"
Also presented at the Ma
tional Academy of Sciences
were reports by the scientists
computing the satellite orbits
and the "Moonwatch" teams
which record their passage
across the sky.
Most attention was focused.
of course. on the unexpected
radiation at the 1.000-mile level
and above. Neither ICY satel-
lite contains equipment which
can determine the type of ra-
diation, but it appears likely
that future satellites will be
capable of analyzing and re-
porting on the rays.

a clear cut provision giving
freedom for military space

tee. "if the Defense Depart

desirable 10 adopt a program

Points Up Issue
Mr.. Johnson's prepared state
ment etched sharply the ques-
ton Of whether military or
civilian authorities should have
the upper hand In future dis
putes over handling Of space
projects.
Mr.. Eisenhower's bill envis-
ages the civilian agency as con-
trolling all Government space
research except for that "pri-
marily associated" with mill
tary use. Administration wit
nesses have said disputes would
be resolved by the President II
necessary but that most would
be settled by lower-level action.

agency. Mr.. Eisenhower has
authorized ARPA to go ahead
for one year with experiments
like shots at the moon. Mr..
Eisenhower also ordered review
Of such projects TO see whether
they should be taken over by

AS Gen. Pate began his tes-

Of the Pentagon reorganization

visions. the-rommittee received
Mr.. McElroy's written answers
to three questions put to him
by Chairman Vinson at the
start Of committee hearings last
week.
The Defense Secretary sought
to give the committee emphatic
and clear-cut assurance that
the proposals to strengthen the
top Defense Department au-
thority and streamline the
command structure would cause
no sweeping realignment of the
separate services.
Mr.. McElroy insisted that a
merger Of the services would
not be possible because it is ex-
preSsly forbidden in the bill.
He explained that the proposed
revision in the Joint Chiefs of
Staff and the Joint Staff sys-
tenn would not create an all
powerful general staff or deny
adequate consideration of the
views and interests of the re-
spective services.

explained in an interview why
he told the committee yesterday
the Pentagon would not object
10 a Russian reconnaissance
satellite.
Representative Heating, Re-
publican Of New York, sug-
gested that Mr.. Quarles took
this position because OF an eX-
pectation the United States
would get reconnaissance satel-
lites orbiting around the earth
before Russia does. Mr.. Quarles
did not comment on that.
The committee has been told
that a man looking through a
small telescope from a satellite
500 miles up could spot earth
objects less than two feet in
size.
Shoot Down Satellites?
Some fears have been voiced
by the military, too. that in the
absence of an international
agreement the United States
would have to try to shoot down
foreign satellites because 1t
would not know whether they
were dangerous.
Mr.. QuarleS said a vehicle in
orbit is different from a high
flying airplane because. IF you
drop something out OF it, it
goes right along with you" in
orbit instead dropping to earth.
An orbiting space craft differs
from a plane also in that 1t flies
beyond the atmosphere above a
country and thus assumes an
international character from
the military's standpoint, he
said.
IF 1t sees something, so does
the moon see something" Mr..
Quarles added. Il don't see
how We could object to it."
