Russians Confirm Accuracy of Rocket Firing

MOSCOW, R = The Russians announced yesterday they fired rocket 7,760 miles into the cen- tral Pacific which fell less than 1.24 miles from it's calculated target.
 The multistage ballistic missile twas the first in the series of planned launchings" for produc- ing rockets to put heavy earth satellites into orbit and for space flights toward other planets of the solar system, Tass news agency aid.
 The Tass announcement said the point of fall of the rocket confirmed the high exactitude of the system of rocket control"
 It landed at point 12,500 kilo- meters G,760 miles, from the takeoff spot = not named in the announcement = and travelled at speed of 26,000 kilometers Q6,- 150 miles, an hour, the announce ment said.
 At a height of about 80 to 90 kilometers (49 to 50 miles) the next to last stage of the rocket "disintegrated and partly burned out' on entering the dense strata of the atmosphere" Tass said
 "It was established that the rocket fell less than 2 kilometers 0.24 miles, away from the pre- determined point, which confirms the high precision of the rockets guiding system," Tass said.
 The captain of an Australian jet airliner reported from Sydney that the Soviet rocket had ex- ploded at least 200 miles from it's designated target area. He said he had seen a "huge bright orange flash bulb going off" 12:45 pm. Wednesday. This was the same time the Russians said the rocket landed and may have been the next to last stage which Tass said had disintegrated upon entering the atmosphere.
