Russia Speeding Up Industry Technology Atomic Locomotive Announcement Seen » WASHINGTON (UP)—Russia is expected to follow up its earth satellite with announcement soon of. an atomic railway locomotive and the harnessing of solar energy to generate electritciy. Soviet scientists have clearly inlicated they are applying new technology to industry and are not reserving it solely for their military program or ' pure science." The announcements could startle industrial nations of the free world. But they also could be aimed at quieting discontent with the low standard of living at home. Western observers believe the new revelations may come at the Bolshevik Revolution Nov. 7. 40th anniversary celebration of the ""fragmentary reports translated from Moscow publications have been filtering into Washington for several weeks concerning Russian discoveries of economic significance. But they attracted little attention until the Soviet satellite compelled a general reappraisal of the current Russian technology. United States officials believe Soviet political leaders are putting scientific achievements into the full limelight of propaganda, in order to offset dissatisfaction of the Communist nations over the shortage of consumers goods and low standard of living. They note people in Communist countries have become increasingly -conscious of the importance of American “applied science” leading to mass production for the general welfare of the entire population.

Diplomats Are Annoyed Over Syrian Attack U. S. Is Frankly Annoyed At Attack On Policies, Dulles UNITED NATIONS, N. Y. W— U. S. diplomats expressed frank annoyance today at Syrian Foreign Minister Salah El Bitar’s slashing attack on U. S. policies and Secretary of State John Foster Dulles. Ambassador Henry Cabot Lodge Jr. noted that Bitar did not even mention the U. S. leadership of the opposition to the invasion of Egypt last year by Britain. France and Israel. "This leadership, as well as the long history of American assistance in the Middle East, and elsewhere, to peoples seeking independence, makes it inconceivable that we should now be guilty of the type of ‘colonialist’ activity with which we are charged by the Syrian foreign minister,’’ Lodge said. Bitar had charged the United States was "largely responsible” for foreign interference in Syria’s internal affairs, subversion against the Damascus governmen tand "the massing of forces on our frontiers and threats directed against Syria.” The general debate was scheduled to wind up today with India's foreign policy speech by V. K Krishna Menon. The General Assembly’s main political committee, comprised of all 81 U. N. members, called a meeting for this afternoon at 3 p. m. EDT to put its agenda in order. The United States was prepared to urge the committee to put disarmament at the top of the list. No serious opposition was expected.

Terms Satellite Shocker To U.S. Symington Warns Os Russian Power ST. LOUIS W — Sen. Stuart Symington JD-Mo. > called Russia's satellite the fifth major scientific “shock” that Communist country has dealt the U. S. since the American atomic bomb monopoly in 1949. Symington, speaking Monday night before Jewish war veterans here, listed as previous “shockers” the atomic and hydrogen bombs, jet bombers and the intercontinental ballistic missile developed by Russia. “Now comes the fifth, the satellite,” he said. "It proves that some of us have been wrong in our beliefs about the Russians. If our policy does not change we are in grave danger of losing our country-” ■ • > - dd wk-B: jD?iwr .n.hh t Ult 9 Symington, former secretary of the Air Force, said American people are beginning to “wonder” over Washington's past confidence that the United States would take a strong lead in the satellite field. His words- were echoed by Franklin D. Roosevelt Jr., former Democratic congressman from New York, who called the successful satellite launching a “rude awakening” for this country. SCIENTISTS . (Continued on Page Five) enhower administration of “misleading” the nation about Russia’s progress in the intercontinental missile field. He said "not just our pride but our security is at stake.” Rep. J. Vaughan Gary (D-Va.) joined several other lawmakers in demanding a sweeping congressional .investigation of why the U.S. is “trailing" Russia in the guided missiles field. He said the admnistraton has said repeatedly “we were far in advance of Russia in the development of modern weapons.” But Gary said the launching of the Russian satellite shows "conclusively this is not true.” Rocket Quite Effective Dr. Lloyd V. Berkner, Vice Chairman of the international committee for the International Geophysical Year (IGY), said the rocket used to launch the Soviet satellite must have been very large and would be “quite effective" as a military weapon. He was asked if this indicated Russia had the ability to hit New York with an intercontinental missile.. “It would be a fair assumption,” he replied, “if you could also assume they knew how to aim it precisely. Evidently, the aiming in the launching of the satellite was extremely good or they would not have achieved such a good orbit.” At the Barcelona meeting, almost all the scientists said that money was the only thing barring the way to the moon. Electronic engineer Gerald Gross of Washington and Prof. Theodor Von Karman, a NATO aerodynamics expert, said it could be asily done in two years.
