TENS used in the experimental
setup makes it difficult tech
nically for Space Track to get
the word Immediately and
automatically. And since this
was the first time an unknown
satellite had been spotted, the
Navy was hardly to blame for
its experimental, even awk-
ward, handling of the Incl
dent.
The best Judgment from
hindSight is that the sightings
going back into December
somehow should have been
made known to people, not just
machines. They are trying to
correct this. But once the sci
entists did spot the mysterious
blipS, they should have noti-
fed everyone concerned i'm
mediately. They will do diff
ferently next time.
Once Space Track was noti-
fed, 1t got fix on the satellite
during its next pass overhead.
BY now Space Track has
analysed its characteristics in
detail and is at least SO per
cent sure it is not any object
this country or Russia has de-
iberately put into orbit.
About the only possibility left
is that the mystery satellite is
a burned out section of the
rocket that sent Russia's Lunik
III to the moon. 1t is conceiv-
able, even If not likely, that the
rocket fell back toward earth
and went into a polar orbit,
dropping low enough on De-
cember 19 for the Spasur radar
to find it.
If further refinement of cal
culations rules out the Lunik
III rocket. however, the space
analysts will really be baffied.

BIimp CoIIopses
On Navy Field

SOUTH WEYMOUTH, Mass.
Feb. Is (AP).-The worlds
largest blimp collapsed today
at the United States Naval Air
Station in South Weymouth
while being towed into a hang
ar. The Navy said no one was
hurt.
The 4OO-foot ZPG-3W was
'maSted and moving toward the
hangar when a gust of wind
caught the tail and tipped the
towing tractor, swapping the
cable.
The big craft slammed into
the hangar door, splitting the
envelope and causing the blimp
to collapse. There was no fire.
The blimp, whose home port
is Lakehurst, N. j., held is mil
lion cubic feet of helium.

Signal to Be Asked
At Seubrook CROSSING

The Prince Georges County
Commissioners yesterday
agreed to ask the Pennsylvania
Railroad to consider installing
a permanent warning signal at
the Seabrook road crossing
where two persons were killed
in a train-car accident last
week.
Commissioner Frank J. Last
ner, who moved for the request,
said signals are needed to safe
guard motorists and pedestri-
ans in the fast-developing Sea-
brook area. Similar action was
voted last Monday by the Sea-
brook Citizens Association.

ton in the middle turned out
to be of little value. The AIR
Force runs the National Space
Surveillance Control Center,
called Space Track at Hans

where all tracking data is ana
lyzed.

Office of the Secretary of De-
fense-is in overall charge.
The entire three-service sys-
tenn is experimental. In other
words. no one is really in the
fuu-time operational space
tracking business.
But in the course of its ex-
periments, the Spasur ap-
paratus picked up an unknown
blip and electronically filed the
information. Late in January
the blips came to the attention
OF Navy scientists. They did
not know what made the sig
nals-it could have been any
number Of natural objects, or
even a defect in the electronic
system.
They checked backward on
their recording tapes and found
the blips had been turning up
since December 10. They fol-
lowed the object for a few
more passes and decided it was
almost certainly a man-made
satellite. They checked fur
ther to see if it was any known
American or Soviet satellite.
Finally, on February 2,
Admiral Arleigh A. Burke, chief
of Naval operations, Secretary
Gates. Space Track officials
and other interested persons
were told about the satellite.
The first reaction from sew
eral quarters was to demand
why these people had not been
told before. The Air Force said
information should have been
passed to them automatically
at Space Track when the Navy
first spotted the unknown blips.
And other defense officials con-
cerned about intelligence criti-
cized the delay.

the talks began.
! The official French position
has been that any agreement
to halt tests would be a delu-
sion as long as big stocks of
atomic arms exist. In remain

tiations Frence announced she

In four-power disarmament
talks held at the United Ma

essential step in this direction,

still favors disarmament and
is still opposed to nuclear
weapons of war. But until
international agreement along
these lines is reached, France
plans to hold onto what it con-
siders its rightful place among
the big powers with its own
total destruction weapons.
All-French EndeavOr
The bomb was an all-French
effort. The government had
previously denied any foreign
technicians were used.
The United States had fur
nished France with enriched
plutonium but all this had gone
into other atomic energy prof.
ectS.
Frances announcement that
she was going ahead with the
Sahara test touched of an up
roar last fall in the United Ma
tons General Assembly. It
brought a storm of protest from
all the independent African
states. They declared it would
turn their backyard into an
atomic no-man's land. Even the
African states in the French
Community were hostile to the
project.
The General Assembly put
through a resolution in Novem-
Der urging France to call off
the test. The resolution, ap-
proved 51-16 with Is Austen
lions, expressed profound pre-
occupation with the risks and
dangers Of such tests"
The French made plain that
they would go ahead with the
plan despite the Assembly's
stand.

To Return for
Weekly Show

NEW YORK, Feb. 10 (AP>
Jack Parr said today he'd be
willing to resume television
work for the National Broad
casting Co. under certain con-
ditions.
In press interviews the come
dian said he would be agreeable
to resumption of his Jack
Paar Show" on a once-a-week
basis. 1t has been running on a
five-night basis, with the Fri
day night programs consisting
Of excerpts from previous shows.
However. Mr.. Paar said he
preferred to do a "person-to-
person" type of program, with
an opportunity to travel.
Mr.. Paar said he also expects
more money for fewer hours
and shows involving less Gin
ira family" controversy.
Settlement Predicted
NBC had no immediate COM
ment on these matters but Of
flcialS continued to express
hope that Mr.. Paar would re-
turn.
A business associate of Mr..
Paar said the comedians dis
pute with the network might
be settled Monday "by phone "
He did not cite the basis for
this assertion.
The whole thing is in the
hands of my agents-the Mu-
sic Corp. Of America" said Mr..
Paar.
He added without amplifica-
ton that for the first time
they've been of some help"
Mr.. Paar continued to main
tain that he will never go back
to his four-nights-a-week stint.
DOwngrades Earnings
He scoffed at reports he
earned half a million dollars a
year or more under his current
contract, which runs through
1862.
Il don't earn a quarter of
that figure" he said.
Mr.. Paar said he had aban-
doned plan announced yester-
day for taking a long vacation
IN Europe. A problem arose
over taking his daughter Randy,
10, out of school.
Meanwhile Ernest Lee
Jahncke, jr., an NBC executive.
acknowledged he made the de-
clsion to take Paar off the air
as he recounted an anecdote
Wednesday night. 1t was this
action which enraged Mr.. Paar
and caused his walkout Thurs
day night.
Mr.. Johncke said his decision
networks new department of
standards and practices.
Hopes for Return
Mr.. Johncke said his decision
was based solely on the ques-
ton Of good taste. He said he
had never met Mr.. Paar and
hopes he will return to the
show.
Higher officials upheld his
Judgment, he said.
NBC insists that Mr.. Paar
must live up to his contract,
saying in a statement issued
yesterday:
I'VE expect Mr.. Paar to fulfill
his contractual obligations. He
is not free to perform on any
other broadcasting facilities"

tronic impulse triggering the
bomb was sent over a coaxial
cable from a control blockhouse
to the tower.
The ministry said a wide
gering device was made of "a
conventional explosive" but did
not identify it.
Jet fighters penetrated the
radioactive cloud sent up by
the blast and tanks maneu-
vered across the desert to pho
tograph the explosion site.
Planes Monitor Test
Several planes monitored the
test from high attitudes and
followed the radioactive dust
scattered by the blast.
One strange sight was that

The Ministry said a wide
range Of military equipment
was placed at different spots
over the desert to test the ef-
fects Of the blast. Specially
constructed atomic shelters
also were tested.

France exploded the bomb to
