JUNEAU, R-Republican John Van Housen of Anchorage, fla vorite target of Democratic lashes during the 1857 legislative, ses- sion, filed as a candidate for La bor Commissioner Saturday night for the April primary election.
 Van Housen's late entry, filed by telegram and delivered to the Territorial Department of Fin ance today, assured GOP-Demo- cratic contest in the race for the $1O,OOO-a-year labor post in the October general election.
 Until receipt of Van Housen's candidacy, it had appeared the Republican party had written off the Labor Commissioners job and would let it go without contest to one of three Democrats who have filed for that party's nomination

in the primary.
 Van Housen, former head of the Labor Departments Anchor age field office, lost that job when the Democratic-c controlled legisla- ture last year cut off the apppro- priation for his office. Earlier, the Territorial Federation of Labor had blasted Van Housen's position on the Employment Security Commission, and the legislature refused to confirm him for new term on the commission.
 Van Housen will succeed as the Republican nominee for the Labor Commission the incumbent, Hen ry Benson of Juneau, who last week split with the COP and said he wouldn't run again.

 Saturday night over Norwalk a C-118 Military Air Transport Ser vice plane and a Navy Neptune patrol bomber rammed together.
 And yesterday, while investi- gators still were poking through charred wreckage at Norwalk, two civilian planes collided 30 miles east of here. All five occu- pants of the two craft died.
 The Norwalk collision came on a cloudless night at 2,500 feet with fiery explosion witnessed by hundreds
 The 4-engine MATS transport hit one of the busiest sections of Norwalk. By some miracle only one of Norwalk's 69,O0O residents died in the accident. She was a 23-year-old housewife, Mrs. Edith Hernandez, decapitated by flying plane parts. All Al service person nel and reservists aboard the transport were killed.
 The Navy bomber crashed and missed blocks of homes by a few hundred feet. Two survived of the eight reservists aboard on a training flight.

Three Air Collisions Over Southern California In As Many Days Brings Demand For Stricter Traffic Control

LOS ANGELES, R- Collision of two military planes over sub- urban Norwalk, killing 48 per- sons, brought a demand today for immediate action on the part of the Secretary of Defense.
 County Supervisor Kenneth Hahn, noting that the Norwalk disaster was one of three aerial collisions over Southern Califor- mia in as many days, said:
 q am sending a telegram to the Secretary of Defense, asking that he appoint special investigating court not merely to fix the blame for the crash but to study the in creasing problems of air traffic in metropolitan areas.

Russia Ready To Discuss Control Of Outer Space
By HAROLD K. MILLS

MOSCOW, RAThe Soviet gov ernment has notified President Eisenhower officially that it will discuss fully the control of outer space as part of a package deal including the abolition of nuclear weapons and the reduction of armed forces.
 Premier Bulganin, in a com munique delivered yesterday in Washington, said the Soviet Union accepted the idea of pre- pairing for summit conference through normal diplomatic chan nels but ruled out any prior for eign ministers conference be- cause of Soviet opposition to Sec retary of State Dulles.
 Bulganin, replying to President Eisenhower's Jan. 12 letter, pro- posed a nine-point agenda for 8 summit meeting of East and West leaders.
 Soviet Foreign Ministry spokes- man Leonid F. Ilyichev told a news conference today the Soviet government is ready to partici- pate in a summit meeting based on either broad or restricted representation.

Statehood Bill
 May Pass Senate Within 10 Days
By FRANK vAILLE

WASHINGTON, LR - Alaskan statehood advocates marked time today almost impatiently, as they waited the nod from congression- al leaders to bring their pet pro- posal before either House or Sen ate.
 Although some supporters, who earlier had predicted January ac- tion on the bill, still say they expect it to be brought up any day.
 Rep. O'Brien D-NYO chairman of the House Territories subcom- mittee said last night he expects the bill to be approved by the Senate within 10 days"
 Some course of action may be charted this week when the Sen ate Democratic Policy Committee gathers to discuss scheduling of legislation for Senate action. The group usually meets on Tuesday.
 A source close to Texas Sen. Lyndon Johnson, the Senate's Democratic leader, said only he expects the bill to be passed by the Senate by April l, but left open the possibility of earlier consideration.
 The same source disclosed that a recent poll taken at Johnson's instructions, showed the Alaskan bill would receive at least so votes in the Senate.

NAVY MAY TRY TO LAUNCH
 VANGUARD MISSILE SOON
By FRED S. HOFFMAN

WASHINGTON, R-The Navy, beaten into space by the Army's Explorer satellite, was pushing preparation today for another try at getting it's Vanguard vehicle aloft.
 The 72 : foot Vanguard rocket was visible at it's launching tower at Cape Canaveral, Fla, pointing to a possible early firing attempt. But the Navy kept mum on it's plans.
 And there was renewed talk of sending a rocket to the moon as the Explorer whirred through space on it's mission of collecting and radioing back scientific in- formation.
 Meanwhile, free world states men welcomed Americas break through which some of them said should have a favorable influ- ence" on finding formula for East-West peace.
 Vice President Nixon said the American achievement should have the effect of developing un- usual support in world opinion for President Eisenhower's pro- posal to dedicate outer space to peaceful uses.
 Although there have been some cOngratulatOry comments from Russian sources, one Soviet scien- tist noted that the 3O.8 pound Ex- plorer is much smaller than either of the Russian satellites.
 However, the scientist Kiril Stanyukovich, voiced the hope in a Moscow broadcast that peace ful competition of satellites in the two countries will lead to en- richment of the worlds scientific h1AOW1COSO.
 Eisenhower has said that all data collected by the Explorer will be shared freely with other nations, including Russia.
 The Explorer, six feet long and shaped like a pointed tube, is sending back coded radio signals reporting on temperatures, cos mic rays and meteorites it is meeting in it's 18,000-mile-an- hour journey.
 Wire grids mounted here and there on the outside of the satel- lite record any contact with small meteorite. enthusiastically star dust Scientists report some of these grids already have been broken but they're not sure yet whether this resulted from con- tact with meteorites or merely from the jarring the Explorer re- ceived in being pushed into space.

IU. s. PUTS SATELLITE INTO SPACE
By BEN FUNK

more than six feet long into an orbit around the earth Friday night
 It was the Army's Jlrpiter-C missile that fired a 30.8-pound moon" aloft and recovered some of the us. prestige lost when Russia boosted her two Sputniks into space last fall.
 With huge burst of flame and thunderous roar that could be heard for miles along Florida's east coast, the Jupiter blasted off from this top-secret firing base.
 About an hour and three-quar- ters later, its satellite had com pleted it's first journey around the world and tracking stations were receiving its radio signals It was so well established in orbit, said Maj. Gen. John B. Medaris, head of the Army's mis- sile test program, that it will re- main aloft from 2 to 10 years.
 It is unlikely the Arny's satel- lite will be visible to the naked eye.
 There are no living organisms in the satellite, the Army said. The Navy plans to put yeast cells in one or more of its satellites in an experiment to provide data on the reaction of living matter to conditions outside the earth's atmosphere.
 Conflicting Data There was confusion in early reports about the altitude of the satellite. Medaris said the dis tance from the earth in it's clip tical orbit would range between { 1855 and 1,23O miles. Dr. Werner Won Braun, designer of the rocket said it would swing as high as 2,000 miles and as low as 23O.
 Won Braun said the metal tube is circling the earth once every 113 minutes. Medaris said the time is 1O6 minutes.
 They disagreed also on the baby moons speed. Won Braun figured it at 19,4OO mph; Med aris said almost exactly 18,0O0. 
 The satellite christened the Explorer by it's Army sponsors has the only radio voice coming to earth from out in space. Sput- nix I has disintegrated and the radio batteries of the dog carry ing Sputnik II have long been dead.
 Two hours after the firing, Medaris told a news conference that the Army eShas been directed Continued on Page Two
 Dr. Ernst Stuhlinger, chief of research projects for the Army Ballistic Missile agency at Hunts vile, Ala, said it has been deter mined tentatively that the Ex- plorer's egg-shaped orbit carries it to within PIP miles of the earth and 1900 miles at it's outer most point.
 Stuhlinger also said the Ameri- can satellite is completing a trip around the earth once every 115.I minutes.
 The Army said a team of ob- servers at Holloman Air Force i Base, Alamogordo, NM, had sighted the Explorer Saturday night. The New Mexico moon watch team probably is the first to have spotted the Army satel- lite.

ference approval.

Russta's adamant demand for
a l2-mile limit. which is sup
ported by many African, Asian
and Latin American nations.
Those who came here de-
manding a 12-mile limit" Mr..
Dean said, have not budged
an inch, have not offered a
single compromise and have
not done one thing to make
this conference a success ex-
cept to repeat their demands
for q 12-mile limit"
Britain. which also has
championed q Smile limit, had
suggested 8 miles as a pos
sible compromise. The United
States baked at first, favoring
q Canadian proposal for a s.

ing rights out IL miles. Britain
refused to go along with this.
The British still would per.
NIT no exclusive fishing rights
beyond the Smile range. The
Americans would grant exclu-
sive fishing rights to IL miles,
but foreign fishermen who have
fished in the outer 6-mile belt
Of a coastal country for at

to enjoy that right. The latter
modification is designed to take
