'Mystery'Is
UnsoIved
By the Associated Press

| Russia's mystery rocket In
the Pacific-if it is that's
still a mystery as far as the
United States is concerned.
Here's the story so far:
Friday night an Air Force
radar station at Shemya Island,
Alaska, reported detecting q
missile-like object streakipg
out Of Russia southeastwatS
over the Pacific Ocean.
The station said it couldn't
tell whether it was q long
range missile or an attempt at
some Soviet space feat.
Hours later the Pentagon
said there had been no further
reports.
Viktor Bazikin, director Of
the Moscow planetarium,
snorted that the whole thing
was pure invention"
At Palm Beach. Fla, Presi-
dent-elect Kennedy got a
briefing on 1t yesterday from
Vice President-elect johnson.
who in turn had been briefed
by officials during q tour Of
Cape Canaveral earlier in the
day.
Press Secretary Pierre SAL
niger had no details and gave
the impression he hadn't been
filled in himself.
At Fort Monmouth, N. j., q
spokesman for the Astro OBJ
servation Center said, "If there
is something UP there, 1t can't
be transmitting or else some
one would have heard 1t by
now"
That seemed to rule out a
new satellite, since expert.
mental space vehicles usually
send back radio signals.
One indication that the Rus.
slams might be testing a long
range missile in the Pacific, as
they have done before, was
that three Russian observation
ships were sighted earlier last
week heading for the usual
Soviet target area. But they
would not have reached the
target area by Friday night.

Foreign Gold
Buying Barred
U. S. Sets Ban
To Cut Losses
By the Associated Press

President Eisenhower, IN Q
new demonstration Of official
concern over the Nations gold
problem. yesterday barred
Americans from boarding gold
abroad.
United States citizens and
firms no longer will be per-
mitted to buy foreign gold
either directly or indirectly.
Those who already own such
gold will have until June to
dispose Of their holdings.
The surprise move was ex-
pected to help the Govern
ment's effort to stem the heavy
flow Of gold from the United
States. However, officials de-
clined to be specific about TIM
possible effect because there
are no statistics on the amount
Of foreign gold owned by
Americans.
Ever since 1888, Americans
have been prohibited from own.
ing gold in the United States
Until today, they had been able
to own gold abroad so long Al
they didn't bring 1t into the
country.
Treasury officials said Mr.
Eisenhower's move was designed
to "tidy up" the gold regula.
tions and block this loophole
Mr.. Eisenhower acted by sign.
ing an executive order.
Officials said the question o.
gold boarding abroad has be.
come significant because Of tn,
publicity about the gold situa.
ton and increased promotiona
efforts here by sellers Of foreign
gold.

ment said ut is not believed
that a large amount Of gold 1.

Military intelligence circles
have been arguing for several
weeks over q new national in

Soviet missile strength. Con-
gress always asks for such esti-
mates to support the military

The difficult fact this year,
however. is that there simply
Is not enough evidence Of So

q firm prediction either that
there will be q missile gap or
that last years worries were
unfounded.
