Reds Orbit New Satellite,
Warn Of 'G|oba| Rocket
No Defense,
Khrushchev
Tells u. S.

MOSCOW, Mar. 16 (AP).-
Premier Khrushchev announc-
ed today the Soviet Union has
put a new space vehicle IN Or
bit. At the same time he
threatened the United States
with what he called a "global
rocket" invulnerable to anti
missile defenses.
The Soviet leader said all
American efforts to interdict
the new weapon, as he de-
scribed it, would be in vain.
THE time has passed when
the Americans can feel de-
Tended from the consequences
of war;" he said.
Mr.. Khrushchev gave no de-
tails of what the stage Of de-
velopment of the so-called new
weapon might be.
He made his remarks in the
course of an election rally, pre-
liminary to Sundays voting in
the Soviet Union. Earlier at
the rally he had announced or
biting of a new space vehicle.
lass news agency said 1t was
IAN artificial earth satellite
launched with a view to con-
tinuing the Soviet program Of
outer space research"
Apparently Unnamed
A Tass report suggested the
satellite is unnamed. The
agency said:
1.-THE Sputnik carries scien-
tific Instrumentation, radio
telemetric system and trans
mitter."
! Tass said the space ship had
a perigee of 1876 miles, an apogee
of 500 miles and an orbiting
time of slightly over SO min
utes. The angle of the orbit
is 40 degrees to the equatorial
plane.
In Cambridge, Mass. Smith
sonian Astrophysical Observa-
tory scientists reported q coded
radio signal on the usual So
Wet vehicle frequency of 20.006
megacycles has been picked up
which apparently is that Of
the new Sputnik. They said the
fact that a coded signal was
being transmitted, rather than
a voice signal, indicated that
the vehicle had no man aboard.
The Bochum Observatory in
Germany also announced it
had picked up signals which
seemed to come from the Soviet
space ship.
Refers to Arms Views
Mr.. Khrushchev made his
statement about the "global
rocket" to reinforce his views
on the current disarmament
negotiations at Geneva. Refer
ring to Western proposals for
an effective control system, he

six astronauts took early in
1858 prior to final selection for
Project Mercury.
Detects 1t Himself
Mai. Slayton said today that
the cratic heart action comes
upon him about once every two
weeks and lasts "for a couple
of days" He said he can detect
it in his pulse when 1t occurs,
and is usually able to get rid
of it "by running two or three
miles"
Deputy Space Administrator
Hugh L. Dryden indicated that
the decision to remove Mai.
Slayton was due as much to the
injection Of new faces in the
space program as to the astro-
naut's actual physical condi-
ton.
Referring to this little de-
feet" Of Maj. Slayton's, DR..
Dryden said that at the time
of it's discovery I'VE had assur-
ances from the medical people
that it would not interfere
with the mission.
The new decision was caused
by "a reassessment by people
up the line of the stresses of
orbital flight" New people
have come into NASA since the
condition was discovered, he
pointed out.
Conditions No Worse
Col. Roadman said there had
been no deterioration of Mai.
Slayton's condition since dis
covery of the trouble. He added
that nothing learned from the
orbital flight of Col. Glenn
had caused the reasSessment.
Before making a further de-
cision on how to use Maj. Stay
ton, medical authorities want
to catch him while his heart is
acting up. They will then sub
ject him to the kind of tasks he

The action came as the com.

for debate in the House Tues

The National Park Service
had planned to buy up the lanc

Congress had authorized the

But the committee said it

Soviet Accuses
U.S.ofPushiinQ
Attest Race
East, West Woo
Middle Nations
At Geneva TuIks
BY JOHN M. HIGHTOWER
Associated Press Staff Writer

GENEVA, Mar. 16.-The So
Wet Union accused the United
States today of seeking resump-
ton of a nuclear arms testing
race and said American negoti-
ations in Geneva are avoiding
a serious approach" to this
problem.
This charge from Soviet Am
bassador Semyon TSarapkin ap-
pears to represent an attempt
by the Kremlin to make the
United States shoulder blame
for any new round of nuclear
test explosions.
It came as Eastern and West
ern groupings in the 17-nation
disarmament conference began
openly to WOO the eight coun-
tries in the middle section
Brazil, India, Mexico, the
United Arab Republic, Sweden,
Burma, Nigeria and Ethiopia.
The eight middle men," as
they have been dubbed, began
their own careful moves in the
conference to keep the United
States and the Soviet Union
negotiating on the widest pos
Sible range of disarmament and
nuclear testing problems.
Rusk Sees Indians
AS a first step, midas v. K.
Krishna Menon called on the
conference to switch its en-
phasis from formal speech
making to intimate study ses-
sions by United States Secre-
tary of State Dean Rusk and
Soviet Foreign Minister An
drei Gromyko on the complex
disarmament problem.
Mr.. Rusk, who supported Mr.
Krishna Menon's suggestion
met with the Indian delegation
head Immediately after the
conference session.
Conference prospects suf-
fered a blow last night when
the Soviet Union rejected Presi-
dent Kennedy's terms for g
test ban. Resumption of United
States nuclear weapon tests in
the atmosphere next month
appeared inevitable as a result
The Russians once more re-
fused to accept foreign in
spectors on their territory to
check against violations Of a
test ban. They appeared certain
to maintain this opposition to
international inspection where
all other disarmament measures
were concerned.
The Western powers were
just as determined not to dis
arm without international in
spection. In this deadlock, top
Western diplomats saw no hope
of progress, but they intended
to keep on trying to negotiate,
for weeks or months if neces-
sary.
Italy Backs RuSk
Italian Foreign Minister An
tonic Segni, one Of the two
speakers at today's session
urged full support for the dis
armament proposals submitted
by Mr.. RuSk yesterday.
Italy, he said, would accept
"any type of control, however
strict, which might be agreed
on an international plane"

Space Administration today,
Maj. Slayotn said. I'm damned
disappointed; let's face it,"
However, medical and adj
ministrative officials Of NASA
agreed there was a good pos
sibility of Maj. Slayton's max
ing a space flight at some later
date. The personal physician of
the seven astronauts, Air Force
1t. Col. William K. Douglas,
did not concur in the decision
to pull Maj. Slayton out of the
MAT flight.
Board Made Decision
The decision was made yes
terday by a board of Air Force
officers, and was reviewed and
ratified by three Washington
heart specialists.
Maj. Slayton's removal came
with great suddenness. AS late
as Tuesday he was actively en-
gagged in preparations for the
coming flight. Apparently he
was told only about Wednesday
that his status was in doubt.
The heart trouble was de-
scribed as "idiopathic atrial
fertilization" Col. Charlie S
Roadman, life sciences chief
for NASA, explained that this
means cratic muscular action
in the topmost part of the
heart. The word idiopathic
means "origin unknown.
The difficulty was first dis
covered in November 1859,
when Maj. Slayton was pre-
pairing for a training run in
the human centrifuge at
townsville, Pa. 1t had not been
detected in the exhaustive

DEPT. OF MINES HAS
 APPLICATION BLANKS FOR PROSPECTING PERMITS

Will Burand, district engineer for the Dept of Mines, announced at the Chamber of Commerce meeting at noon today that he has received the protraction sheets and application blanks for the offshore prospecting permits. He pointed out permit is also necessary from the Dept. of Fish and Game.
 He further explained that the permits are valid only for the mineral specified in the applica- tion and that if oil or any other minerals are found additional ap- plications covering them would be necessary.
 In a letter from Sen. Pearse Walsh, on the subject of offshore filings along the coast of Nome, he stated that interest in gold was stimulated by new use of gold in the field of space engineering.
 He said because of goId's ability to withstand heat, it was used ex- tensively in the heat shield of astronaut Glenn's capsule which orbitted the earth last month.
 Sen. Walsh also recalled that surveys have shown that there are five 'beachlines' in this area - three which have been ex- plored, and the other two which are under water and which here tofore have been too expensive to mine.
 Walsh said he is arranging an interview with the Shell Oil Go. with view to finding out more of their plans for gold mining in the Nome area.

Students to Take
 Merit Scholarship Qualifying Test

E Five students at Nome High
 School plan to take the 1862 National Merit Scholarship uuali- flying test, Dick McCohmick, prin- cipal, announced today.
 The test will be administered tomorrow. All students who wish to be considered for the scholar ships to be awarded in 1863 must take the test then.
 The qualifying test is a three hour examination on educational development and is the first step in the eighth annual competition for four-year merit scholarships provided by the National Merit Scholarship Corp. and by spon- soring corporations, foundations, associations, unions, and individ- uals.
 The number of scholarships awarded depends upon the extent of sponsor participation. Tn 1861. 945 scholarships were awarded; 556 were provided by 133 sponsors and 389 by Merit Corp. There are 3,275 Merit Scholars attending 403 colleges in the current aca- den1ic year.
 The test scores of students examined in March will be re- ported to their schools by May 15. The scores are used by class ad- visors in many high schools to help students make decisions about college attendance and fields of study. Many students who do not expect to win a scholarship take the test in order to learn more about their indi- vidual strengths and weaknesses in the areas measured by the test.
 Some 10000 semi-finalists, the highest scorers in each state, will be named early next fall. Names of semi-finalists are published in a booklet which is distributed to all colleges and to other sources of financial aid for undergradu- ates. Further, their names and tests scores are sent to the col leges they express an interest in attending as their first or second choices. The order of preference is not shown.
 The scholarship stipends are based on financial need = the minimum award is S1O0 and the maximum is $I, ,5O0. The average award to freshman Merit Scholar in 1861 was $847. Each scholarship constitutes form of educational insurance, since the stipend may be increased at any time if the students financial situation changes during the four year term of the scholarship.
 s Sup p l e mentary grants are usually made to the colleges that the scholars attend.
