policies and the prudence Of the
men who will administer them.
Vanguard's tangible legacy
Is in three principal parts. They
are rocketry, subsidiary equip
ment, and personnel. Its in
tangible requests likewise are
three in number: Scientific
knowledge already gained, les
sons (mostly painfuD about
long-range "programming" OF
space projects, and the pioneer
ing Of q new road into space.
Depending upon how generous
one is inclined to be with the
taxpayers money, all these
or possibly any one-would be
worth $ll0 million.
In rocketry, Vanguard has
left behind three perfected pro-
pulsive stages, all Of which will
be used in future space pro-
grams. The Martin-built. Gen.
eral Electric-powered "lox"-
kerosene first stage has q re-
liability record that compares
favorably with anything else
in space. It win be used as
the upper-staging Of the Space
Administrators project Vega.
which will use an Atlas as
booster and have as its goal
the placing Of q 5,000-pound
weather satellite in q 300-mile
lorbit.
Vanguard's acid hydrazine
second stage, developed from
the Aerobee high altitude
sounding rocket Of the late
1940s, caused much Of the sat-
elite programs trouble. But
in plaguing Vanguard's chiefs
with bugs" the second stage
forced corrective action which
has now made it q worthwhile
upper stage element in the
space arsenal.
The third stage. Allegany
Ballistic Laboratory's X-24o
solid propellant rocket used
only in the final Vanguard, has
promise In ultra-deep space
applications where moderate
thrusts are acceptable and lone
storage life is essential.
The second and third stages
are included in plans for the
Delta" space program.
In subsidiary equipment, Van
guard has left q worldwide
network of radio tracking sys-
tems-all paid for out Of the

Sober planning and good
continuity could well save VAN

left over from Vanguard are
probably the richest item in
the whole legacy.
In scientific knowledge, the
bequest that comes first TO
mind is the great geophysical

Vanguard I. It was this grape

the market price of gem
quality diamonds.
The question arises: Was 1t
worth It?
A careful assessment Of VAN
guard must yield an affirnia-
tive answer, for there were
far more returns than any
quick analysis would indicate.
These assets. some tangible and
some intangible, will have pro-
found effects on Americas
space program. -
It is easy to quarrel with the
decision made four years ago
this month, that Vanguard was
the most desirable OF three
choices for an earth satellite
launching system for use dur
ing the international Geophys-
ical Year.
Faced Two Problems
The others involved existing
hardware: One based on the
Navy's ahigh-altitude expert
mental "viking." out Of which
Vanguard evolved. and one
called "Orbiter" which, would
use the Army's Redstone rocket
as a booster.
A committee within the De-
tense Department. known as
the Advisory Group on Special
Capabilities. was formed in
1855 to study the space ques-
ton In two parts. First. 1t was
to examine and recommend on
the question. Should we try 70
90 into space?" Second, If the
first answer turned out to be
Affirmative, 1t was to recon-
mend the type of system to be
devised.
The Advisory Group. known
as the Stewart Committee
after its chairman. Prof. HON.

mended affirmatively without
dissent on the first question
but came up with a split report
on the question of how"

Say it Ain't So Quips President, Of TV Quiz Probe
By MARVIN L. ARRoWSMITH

By MARVIN l.. AHROWSM1lH ii
 WASHINGTON, LR - President Eisenhower said today nobody is going to be satisfied until the television quiz rigging scandals are cleaned up.
 Eisenhower told his news con- ference the Attorney General will be ready before January 1 with recommendations for changes in the law to prevent what he called the astonishing deceptions carried out on some programs.
 In response to questions, Eisen- hover said he does not believe the TV rigging indicates Amer jeans have forgotten their moral standards.
 The President said, on the other hand, that the reaction to TV quiz disclosures indicates that most Americans are not so much angry as bewildered.
 The reaction, the President said, has been like that of the story relating to Shoeless Joe Jackson, the famed baseball player in the World Series Black Sox scandal of 1919. A youthful fan said to Jackson: Say it ain't. so"
 Eisenhower went on to say every industry engaged in the distribution of news and infor- nation on a mass basis has g re- sponsibility to see that U. s. con- viction and welfare are con sidered.
 He said this holds true also for economic industries Inn an obvious reference to the steel strike on which he declined to comment di- rectly. He said industries must maintain the discipline that will keep a free government operating.

PANAMA, tR - Panama was off-limits for Americans living in the Canal Zone today after vio- lent anti U. S. demonstrations during the 56th anniversary of Panama's independence. At least 82 persons were injured, three seriously.
 Crowds of demonstrators, pro- testing U. s. control of the canal, tore down the American flag at the U. S. Embassy Tuesday, stoned the Embassy and the U. s. Infor- nation Service office, overturned American autos and battled U. s. canal police for four hours.
 The mobs finally were routed by Panamanian National Guards men, Canal Zone Police and fire men, and U. s. Army troops armed with rifles, bayonets and machine guns. The Canal Zone Police ar rested six demonstrators.
 Anti-American demonstrations also took place in Colon, Panama's second largest city at the Carib-

bean end of the canal. One mob broke into a U. S.-owned railroad station and carried off the cash box. The ticket agent escaped by locking himself in his office.
 Troops from the Army's Carib- bean Command stood guard along the Canal Zone borders. The 90,- 900 Americans living in the Zone were ordered to stay inside the 500 square miles of U. s. terri tory. The Army cancelled plans for units to march in Pana- manian Flag Day parade in the capitol today.
 The target of Tuesdays out breaks touched off by Pana- manian nationalists - was the unusual hold the United States has over the zone. The United States was granted control of the zone in perpetuity after it helped the Panamanians win their independence from Co., lombia. In recent years Panama nationalists have been demand ing that their government estab- fish it's sovereignty over the zone.

Steel Talks Continue As Supreme Court
 Ponders Injunction Rule

WASHINGTON, lR m Manage ment and union representatives resumed negotiations today in eff forts to settle the 113-day steel strike as the Supreme Court pom dered which way to rule on a back-to-work order.
 There was no hint from the court as to when it would rule but it was expected generally the court would not long delay.
 The courts decision will affect both the strike of 500,000 steel workers and emergency provi- sions of the Taft-Hartley Labor Relations Law under which the 8O-day cooling off injunction was issued two weeks ago.
 Enforcement of the injunction has been held up pending out come of the appeal to the Su- preme Court.
 Heads of the union and indus try negotiating teams gave no in dication that an agreement might be near as they resumed face-to- face talks for the first time since Saturday.

Nine Euro-Asian Countries to be Visited by Ike

WASHINGTON, lR - President Eisenhower announced today he will visit nine countries in Eur ope, Asia and Africa, starting De- cemiber 4.
 Eisenhower told a news confer ence the 19-day goodwill tour will take him to:
 Rome, Italy; Ankara, Turkey, Karachi, Pakistan; Kabul, Af- ghanistan; New Delhi, India; Teheran, Iran; Athens, Greece; Paris, France, and Rabat, Morocco
 The tour to three continents will start in Rome with two days of talks, beginning December 4, with high Italian government off cials. z
 Eisenhower plans to return to the United States December 22, three days before Christmas.
 The President will be in Paris for three or four days starting December 19 for the Western summit conference.
 The tour to three continents will be the most extensive over seas trip Eisenhower ever has undertaken.
 - Eisenhower noted that no Amer ican President ever has visited Asia.
 Since he is going to India, Els enhower said, he feels he would be missing chance if he did not also go to such other countries in the general area as Pakistan, Ali ghanistan and Iran.
 Replying to another question, Eisenhower said he expects to do most of his travelling in his big, new jet airliner.
 Eisenhower went on to say that at some point during the 19-day tour he will have to take some sort of break. These details, he added, will be worked out later.
 Eisenhower also said he hopes to get away sometime this month for brief vacation in this country.
 As for Mrs. Eisenhower, the White House said Tuesday there are no plans for the First Lady to accompany the President to Paris for the Western summit conference. Eisenhower said today he believes Mrs. Eisenhower will not accompany him on the re- mainder of the tour abroad.

Off-Year Elections Encourage Both
 Parties for '6O Race
tBu The Associated Press,

Democrats generally consoli- dated gains on state and local lev els in Tuesdays scattered off-year elections. In the main contests they easily retained the Kentucky governorship and the Philadelphia mayors office.
 Democratic politicians looking for a 1860 Presidential year trend, could point to strong showing in Indiana and Connecticut mu- nicipal elections. Indiana Demo crats retained control of every major city and busted Republicans in Fort Wayne and Lafayette
 But the Republicans gained in upstate New York, where they busted nine Democratic mayors while losing four municipalities.
 And in New Jersey, Republicans not only staved off a Democratic bid to win control of the State Senate, but apparently cut the Democratic majority in the As sembly.
 Failure to capture all branches of the New Jersey state govern ment took away talking point from packers of Governor Robert B. Meyner, rated an outside pos sibility for the Democratic Presi- dential nomination. It also killed any chance for Meyner to run for the U. $. Senate next year and turn over the governorship to Democratic Senate president.
 As usual there were few surprises and upsets. Former Utah Governor J. Bracken Lee made a comeback by winning election as mayor Of Salt Lake City. The ultra a-conservative Lee no longer counts himself Republican. He ran as an Independent against a Democrat in what was supposed to be a non partisan election.
 In Philadelhia ever hopeful Re publican Harold E. Stassen went down to a predicted defeat by in cumbent Mayor Richardson Dill worth, a Democrat. The margin was overwhelming
 Stassen has not won an cleo tion since the 193O's when he was the youthful Governor of Mime sota, but not from lack of trying. Though he seemed to be at the end ! of a downhill political trail, he said, 'I may run for political of flee in the future. I am still a young man, and plan to be active in politics"
 Democrat Bert J Combs won a landslide victory as Governor of Kentucky over Republican John RobSion Jr.
 Mississippi also elected gov ernor, but it was a formality Democrat Ross R. Barnett was un- opposed. The segregationist law yer had won the real election nm the Democratic runoff primary - in August.
