Russia's manned spaceship
VoStok II made perhaps nine
passes over North American
territory, which suggests inter-
esting possibilities of future
military reconnaissance.
Some of the passes brought
Maj. Gherman Titov's satellite
over or in the general area of
some militarily significant re-
gions.
The National Aeronautics and
Space Administration said, yes
terday, in response to an in
quiry that approximately half
Of the II orbits of the Vostock
carried it over United States
or Canadian territory-in most
cases over both.
On the basis Of this reply
and by computing announced
positions of the vehicle it Is
possible to find that the crisis
cross pattern Of orbits covered
a wide area of the North Amer
lean continent.
Among the regions over
which Maj. Titov and his
spaceship passed were the
Eastern Seaboard with its big
metropolitan areas and mill
tary bases; the down-range cor
ridor of the Pacific missile test
range and the general area of
the Atlantic test range south
eastward from Cape Canaveral,
Fla.
Craft Crosses u. S.
The craft also crossed the
United States in New Mexico,
where missile tests and nuclear
research are carried on, and in
Montana, where the Air Force
is installing intercontinental
missile launching sites.
It's orbit also carried the Vos-
tok over Alaska, site of air and
other military bases; and a
portion of Greenland, site of
ballistic missile early warning
station.
In his Moscow news confer
ence on Friday, Maj. Titov told
of taking over manual con-
troll of the Vostok soon after
launching and again on his
seventh orbit. He said he was
able to orient the attitude of
his ship in space and could
send it on any course he
desired.
Spoke Of Lights
BY controlling the attitude
of the vehicle, in relation to
the earth, he presumably could
rotate it (using vernier rock
etS) so that he could look down
and make motion picture shots
which he said he did. The
characteristic will be useful
when nations are able to apply
space vehicles to reconnais-
sance mi&ions, enabling cam

Placed into a highly eccentric

unique opportunity to study

= NASA also called the satel-
lite "a milestone in engineering
design" for its capability of
accommodating 10 different
particle-detecting systems.
The four satellites OF the
series are designed specifically
to make repeated observations
Of the solar wind phenomena,
the interplanetary magnetic
fields, the distant regions of
the earth's magnetic field, and
the volume Of particles in in
terplanetary space and in the
trapped radiation regions
known as the Van Allen Belts.
The Van Allen Belts, po-
tential menace to manned space
travel. surround the earth ex-
eept for the extreme northern
and southern ATTITUDES, at alti-
tudes between 600 and 10000
miles.
The So will have an orbital
period of about 81 hours, and
viii cross through the Van
Allen Belts twice in each such
period. It is expected, there
fore, to shed much light on the
degree and the significance of
radiation in the belts.
Tracking Plan Set
1t will be launched by a.
three-stage Delta vehicle. Be-
cause of the long orbital period,
It may take almost a day to-
confirm whether it is in orbit.
The long orbital period also
will make the spacecraft visible

LIMA, Peru, Aug. IL (AP).-
Two Bolivian deputies were
quoted today as saying Bolivia
is headquarters for a Castroite
infiltration in Latin America
financed by narcotics.
The Newspaper La Prensa said
the deputies charged the b.
livian city of Santa Cruz, near
the Argentine border, SIS now
an enormous cocaine plant
whose production is being used
to finance both arms traffic
and to organize Castroite coups
in Bolivia, Chile, Peru and
Argentina"
The two deputies were iden-
titled as Mario Gutierrez and
Gonzalo Romero. both MEM
bers of the opposition party in
Bolivia's lower house. They
made the statement on q visit
to Lima, La Prensa said.
Arms, Narcotics Out
BY the papers account:
The deputies said a so-called
pirate plane downed recently
by the Bolivian air force near
Santa Cruz had made IS flights
from Havana. bringing in 10
tons Of automatic arms and
ammunition from Cuba on each
flight.
They said the arms and am
munition we're unloaded near
Santa Cruz and were stnuggled
into Peru, Chile and Argentina
by revolutionary agents. They
reported the planes on out
going flights carried cocaine
produced in Santa Cruz to be
sold abroad to finance the arms
traffic.
They charged the Bolivian
government knew about this
traffic and acted only because
United States Governln E n t
agents arrived in La Paz to
make inquiries into the mys-
FERROUS plane flights.
Crushed Castro Plot
BY calling the downed plane
a pirate, the deputies added,
the Bolivian government Cried
to cover up the vast revolution
airy plan in Latin America.
Why the government of Pres
lent Victor Paz Estenssoro
would try to cover up such &C
tivity, the newspaper never
tried to explain in its account.
Mr.. Paz Estenssoro has been
warning on Communists and
CastroiteS. He announced last
June he had crushed a Com
munist-Castroite plot to stage
a revolution. Bolivia ousted
Cuba's Charge d'Affaires in La
Paz, Mauro Garcia, and
charged the plot was designed
to help torpedo President Ken
nedy's Alliance : for Progress
program in Latin America.
