Spectacular
Soviet Space
Shot Hinted

ISTANBUL. Turkey, April 81
(AP) - Some allied diplomats
said today a spectacular new
Soviet space thurst-perhaps Q
shot at Mars IS million miles
away-may take place before
the Big Four summit parley
May 16.
Their reasoning is based both
on an assessment of recent So
Wet preparations and on pre-
dictions freely circulated since
the beginning of the year by
Soviet scientists and diplomats.
The informants say a strong
political motive lies in back of
the move. 1t is that Premier
Khrushchev wants to arrive at
the summit meeting in Paris
flushed and fortified with an
other space triumph. He may
figure any such achievement
would strengthen his negotiat-
ing position.
Preparations Speeded
Informants said Allied gov
ernments have for some time
been aware that the Soviets
were busily speeding prepara-
tions for a new space probe.
The rocket firings into the Pac-
iflc in January from launch
ing pads 5000 miles away were
seen as part of the prepara-
tions.
Since then Moscow Radio
has said the Pacific tests were
part of a program preparing
for mans flight into inter-
planetary space.
The official Soviet news
agency Tass has limited that
the missile shot by Russia into
the Pacific was being developed
for a thrust at Mars.
Close AnaIySis
All this, along with a lot Of
other information too, has been
under close analysis by Allied
scientists and political experts.
Some of them are convinced
that the rocket fired into the
Pacific weighed around 400
tons, or double the weight of
Lunik II and III. And most of
them have accepted the truth
of the Soviet claim-that the
rocket landed within a mile or
so of its target from a distence
Of about 5000 miles away,
And so Allied experts on So
Wet affairs this May Day week
end-a traditional time Tor So
Wet power displays ard boasts
are scrutinizing everything
that comes out of the Soviet
Union for clues as to Moscow's
intentions in space.

Student TroveI Hits
New Peak This Year

More than 10000 students
are expected to go abroad this
year, according to an American
Express travel survey.
Next to housewives, students
make up the fastest growing
category of Americans travel
ing abroad. Student passport
applications have increased at
the rate of 10000 a year since
1857.
Last year, the State Depart
ment issued 70,733 student
passports, a II per cent increase
over the 60,635 of 1858.

Rome Still
Has Rooms

The latest word from Italy is:
Don't fret if you haven't made
your room reservations or trans
portation arrangements for the
Olympic Games in Rome.
The Italian State Tourist
Office says a survey has shown
both are still available. The
Olympic Reception Committee
in Rome lists total of 100000
beds to handle the big crowds
expected during the OIympics.,
OF these, $4,000 are in private
homes. The Olympic Committee
is putting up a tent city tc
accommodate at least 5000.
A ceiling has been put or
room prices through agreement
between the Tourist Office anc
the Hotel Association. The
prices will range from about
$3.50 for a room without BATH
in a third-class pension to about
$3.50 for a room with bath ir
de luxe hotel. On top of those
prices come the service charge
and taxes.
Evening star., 1960-06-05

Other factors are scores of
sightseeing and study air tours
to all parts of the globe, and
the large number of college
chartered flights.
The traditional Grand Tour
of Europe is still the most pop
ular choice among students.
Most itineraries this year in
clude special features such as
the OlymplcS in Rome, the
Passion Play at Oberammergau
and one or more of the famous
music and art festivals, such as
those at Salzburg, Edinburg and
Bayreuth.
For the energetic, there are
low cost pedal pusher trips
which feature overnight accom-
