COPENHAGEN (INS) — T h e race of man wilt be freed from earth—but return to Mother Earth will be possible. This may well take a full generation—but it is Inevitable. Now that the first furore over the national science foundation and White House announcements concerning the earth satellite has subsided it is well for the public to take a second look at the problems involved tn the Inevitable step from aeronautics to astronautics. Here is that story: The first step has been disclosed. We know ye fan do ft The second step is not much different In thepry — we will produce a larger, unmanned vehicle containing mere instrumentation and capable of supplying more information to earth.? It might even contain animals to aid in all iffipoytnnt phyiiological investigations. But it will be destroyed when its prbital life is ended. f; \_ *\ The third stop is critical, for the fttah time we wHI face the terrible problem of re-entry Into the earth's atmosphere.

first two satellites to be burnt 1 completely. The third will be designed to come back intact. This is the great problem we are now considering, because manned space flight will be Impossible until this problem is solved. The fourth step—the adxeut of jl manned earth returnable satellite—will far transcend any other epoch of civilisation. For the first time we will be able to ‘see opr selves as others see us” and our living space will be in four dimensions. In one way or another each of fled by government administrate foregoing eteps will be justitions out of the abundance of wisdom of each. The fact remains, however, that the inner cjrive or elan of the fraternity of spacemen provides the real source of this relentless effort to add the rest of creation to our living space. The heroes are only in the making. The Columbus and St. Brendan of Space are still unknown, hut they may be sleeping ia cradles in your own homes. I make the foregoing observations because the next step will involve free flight — first around the moon and return to earth Under the command of the new Columbus — and then to the moon With a landing and a take-off and return to the earth. After these accomplishments, all of the remaining problems of free flight within our solar system become relative. The problems of inter stellar flight are different in kind.

• "T ' ' Incidence Os Bovine Tuberculosis Cut Industry Wdrned Over Complacence WASHINGTON (INS) The outstanding success thus far in stamping out bovine tuberculosis can be- , come a stumbling block it the livestock industry becomes too complacent about it Agricultural scientists sounded this warning today in painting out that incidence of the disease has been reduced from almost five per cent in 1918 to only slightly more than one tenth of one per cent in 1964. At the outset of the eradication program, the question was not so much where the disease was to be found as it was how many cows mere infected. States engaged jn the cooperative control program with the federal government competed with one anothey to become the firat with an infection rate of less than one half of one per cent. That goal was reached in 1940 on a national basis, but the agricultural research service commented: “It might have appeared On the surface that the job was done, but the bard task lay ahead - stamping out the last of the disease. Increased efforts were needed to improve testing procedures and techniques." The result is these recent developments : 1. Improved testing methods for the more positive identification of infected animals, thus speeding up their elimination from the herd. 2. Establishment of a system for tracking back to the herds of origin animals that, on being slaughtered. proved to be infected. This helped to locate other diseased animals and ihus kept tuberculosis from spreading. ' ARS added, however, that with all these improvements the ultimate goal of complete eradication cannot be reached without the continuing cooperation of livestock owners. It urged them to be aware that tuberculosis is a perpetual danger despite progress in the past. Berkeley—High above the earth the air grows hotter.

Ike Holds Door Open To Soviet On Inspection Believes Bulganin ' Has Not Rejected Inspection Plans WASHINGTON (INS) — President Eisenhower held the door open today for continuing negotiations with Soviet Russia on an international aerial inspection system to control armaments. The Chief Executive told his news conference Thursday that he did not believe Russian premier Nikolai Bulganin had flatly rejected the U.S. Geneva “summit” conference proposal for an inspection system. Bulganin told the Supreme Soviet in Moscow that Mr. Eisenhower's "open skies” proposal for international air patrols was not acceptable. He also termed the plan for exchanging blueprints of military establishments of “no real important value.” President Eisenhower said he understood Bulganin was arguing that the Russian inspection plan was “more realistic.” The Chief Executive indicated 1 that talks on the problem are only in the preliminary stage. „ He declared: “Now, these are matters that take long examina tion by experts. 1 don’t understand hat the premier (Bulganin) clos- ' A, the door, and I merely say we are ready to accept and examine any kind of system that looks fair to us and (o both sides." Mr. Eisenhower made these oth--1 sr points: 1. Russia's resumption of atom--1 ic bomb tests might mean anything, but they are “not neoessari |l> a change in their, let us say, - more conciliatory attitude that i they have shown in the past weeks • and months.” : 2. The Democratic - controlled 34th congress made a commendable record on foreign affairs, but ' was not as “successful" as it should have been on domestic issues. i 3. He has not finally decided i whether to recall the legislators for a special session. 4. There is no present prospect that the U.S. will reverse its opposition to admitting Red China i to the United Nations. 5. A “summit" conference to liscuss Asian problems would be ,tremature at this time. 6. The record in the case of retiring air force secretary Harold 3. Talbott speaks for itself and re has nothing more to say on he controversy about Talbott furthering his private business from his Pentagon office. The President also told newsmen that he plans to spend next week at his Gettysburg farm signing the flood of bills passed bycongress in its adjournment rush. When that chore is finished he will make a brief visit to Washington before flying to Denver on Aug. 14 or 15 for an extended work and play vacation. He has to return to the east coast for a speaking engagement, jn Philadelphia on Aug. 24 before the American bar association, but after that he will return to Denver.
