Charles de Gaulle said today
he is ready TO serve France If
called upon but did not state
his conditions. In the past he
has always demanded a free
hand.
The call Gen. de Gaulle had
awaited since he retired from

political life in 1916 still had

perhaps closer than ever before.

his Paris office TO make his
position clear,
Gen. de Gaulle said.
To-day, before the trials

should be known that / am

Blames Parties
Gen. de Gaulle's l0-line
statement said the trend of
events in France was leading
to the separation from the
people of France of the peoples
associated with her. He said
this trend was leading to trou-
BILE in the army, national dis
location and the loss Of ma
tional independence.
AS he has in the past, Gen.
de Gaulle blamed "the regime
Of parties" He said that once
before at a crucial time the
country had put its confidence
in him to lead it to its saliva
ton. He said he was ready to
serve again.
The text of his statement:
"The degradation Of the
state involves inevitably sepa-
rating US from the associated
peoples, trouble in the fighting
army, national dislocation, the
loss Of independence.
For IL years France, at
grips with problems too tough
for the regime of parties, has
pursued a disastrous course.
once before the country in
its depths showed confidence
in me to lead it as a whole to
its salvation.

which engulf 1t again. it

Sputnik would report on the
upper layers Of the earth's at
mosphere as "a contribution Of
Soviet scientists to world
science"
Reported Orbiting Normally
The announcement gave no
indication Of the exact power
with which the new Sphinx was
launched nor the location Of
Its launching site.
1t reported the Sputnik was
orbitlng normally at the rate
of one circuit of the earth
every 106 minutes and reaching
a maximum altitude Of 1,168
miles. The exact weight was
put at 2.919.53 pounds, or more
than double the l,l20-pound
weight the Russians reported
for Sputnik II.
The new Sputnik joins three
American satellites circling in
outer space, the largest Of them
weighing 30.8 pounds. Russia's
two earlier satellites have re-
entered the earth's lower at
mosphere and burned up.
The announcement said the
satellite entered its orbit at
an angle Of IS degrees to the
equatorial plane. indicating 1t
will cover almost the entire
inhabited part of the earth
from close to the Arctic Circle
to just above the Antarctic
Circle.
Speeds Over Moscow
The only immediate indica-
ton of the direction Of fight
was the word that it sped over
the Moscow area this morning
from a southwesterly to a
northeasterly direction"
The announcement said the
rocket which lifted the Sputnik
aloft broke off and itself went
into orbit close behind. No in
dication was given Of the size,
but it presumably was immense
to have lifted the ton and a
half load.
The satellite was described
as S feet 8la inches wide at its
base and IL feet ga inches
high. That would be large
enough to be seen from earth
with the naked eye under prop
er lighting conditions.
The three United States sat
elites circle the globe in a mar
rover band that extends about
half as far on either side of
the Equator. Two of them,

With some prodding from Brit
ain. the United States half-heart-
eddy joined in approval of a sum-
init conference. Prior to giving q
lukewarm endorsement to a heads
of-state meeting. the United States
was ready to tell Mr.. Khrushchev
TO take his grievances to the Sc
curity Council through regular
United Nations channels.
Meanwhile. debate on the Mid
die East in the Security Council
ended after Russia vetoed a Jap
anese resolution calling for a
stronger observer group in Leba-
non, The veto followed Security
Council rejection of a Soviet
amendment demanding immedi-
ate withdrawal of United States
troops from Lebanon. Ten other
members Of the council voted for
the Japanese resolution.
Despite the veto, U.N. Secre-
tary General Dag Hammarskjold
continued his efforts to build a
U.N. observer group large enough
to permit a graceful United States
withdrawal from Lebanon.

Satellite W.:

The United States Explorer w
satellite which went into orbit
yesterday was the largest yet
launched by this country-but its
38.43 pounds still was only about
one.1o0th the weight Of Russia's
3,000-pound Sputnik III.
1t Joins three other satellites
now DRIFTING the earth: Sputnik
III, the 30.8-pound American Ex-
plorer I. and the Nays 3H pound
Vanguard. Out Of 10 United
States attempts to launch an or
biting satellite, four have sue
ceeded.
1t was expected that Explorer
Tvs orbit would range from ITS
miles at its nearest approach to
earth to 1,750 miles at the most
distant point. Propelled into space
by the Armys Jupiter-C rocket.
the latest satellite carried Geiger-
Mueller counters and scintillation
instruments, plus two radios.
Scientists hoped that Explorer
" would provide a full report on
a field of intense radiation 900
miles from the earth.
Neither the Explorers nor their
Soviet counterparts are considered
military weapons; they are de-
signed opfy to collect the facts
and figures Of space physics.

Mr.. Khrushchev proposed that
Russia. the United States, Britain.
France and India participate In
the summit meeting ION any day
and at any time, and the sooner
the better" He also proposed that
recommendations for cessation of
the military conflict In the Near
and Middle East" be submitted 10
the Security Council and that
"this organ consider them with
the participation Of representa-
tives Of the Arab countries"
Reaction in Britain was mixed.
Prime Minister Harold Macmillan
said he would not be ''panicked"
into a summit meeting. Labor
Party Leader Hugh Gaitskell took
note Of Americas seeming re-
luctance and said;
Whatever may be the American
point Of view, there is a very wide
spread body Of opinion In this
country which sincerely hopes that
a summit conference can take
place at the earliest possible mo-
ment."
