announced that the Secretary will spend
part of this time at his home here and
may then leave Washington for further
rest and recuperation elsewhere.
1t is fully in keeping with Mr..
Dulles dedication to his service in Gov

to his fellowmen, that throughout his
ordeal he has been in regular and fire.
quent contact with his office and his
President. To open their week end OF
consultation, President Eisenhower and
British Prime Minister Macmillan visited
Mr.. Dulles at the hospital. His judg-

figure in the further deliberations of the
two heads Of state. The interests Of
the free world and Of the grand alliance
which is so important to all of us will

Salute to Yonquord

There is widespread impression
that Project Vanguard, because 1t has
suffered series Of miSnres, must be
written OF as a failure, or a sort of
ne'sr-do-well, in our space program. AS
is true Of so many other impressions,
however, this Is a mistaken one, and DR..
John p. Hagen, the projects director,
has rendered service in correcting 1t.
Actually, in spite of the gremlins
that have AFFLICTED 1t, the undertaking
has been successful in many important
ways. To begin with, as DR.. Hagen
has now reminded everybody. 1t must
be credited with having launched our
country's FIRST earth satellite. This is
Vanguard /, which has Just begun its
second year in orbit. Although small In
It's physical dimensions, 1t has already
made highly valuable contributions to
science, and it will continue to do so
for long time to come, perhaps for
centuries.
This is so, according to DR.. Hagen,
because Vanguard /, with its solar
powered transmitters Ca real first" in
the space age) is constantly sending
back to us new information of signifi-
cant kind. It has told US, for example,
that our planet is pear-shaped, and it
is expected to keep on educating us
about space as long as the sun renews
the strength of its batteries renewal
that promises to occur automatically
for many generations. Thus, in DR..
Hagen's words, 1t Is daily Setting new
records for the longest continuous radio
transmission from the sky. Our grand
children, with techniques much further
advanced than ours, will still be using
Vanguard to further their knowledge
Of the earth and its atmosphere"
Nor is this the whole of Project
Vanguards story. The sleek rocket
involved is finely designed and very 80
phisticated." and although it has been
linked at times in trying to get of the
ground, the fact remains that it still is
greatly respected by the scientists and
technicians who are the best judges Of
such instruments. That is why its COM
ponentS and stages, as DR.. Hagen has
said, have been found Gin nearly all of
the vehicles using larger boosters to
achieve even more dificult space tasks"
Accordingly, regardless of impress
sions to the contrary, Vanguard has
turned in performance indicating all
those who have maintained stubborn
faith in it, Although the jokeSmiths
have poked fun at 1t, 1t has done and
continues to do an effective job, and our
space program is the better off for It,
