U. S To Fire Ist Satellite December

WASHINGTON (UP)—President Eisenhower announced today that the United States will start firing earth satellites into outer space in December. Eisenhower told his news conference that in his opinion, based on long conferences with Americab scientists, die Russian satellite now circling the earth poses no threat to American security. The President said, however, that the rocket which propelled the Russian satellite more than 500 miles above the earth’s surface means that Soviet Scientists have in their possession a very horrible thrust. „ , He also seriously questioned the fact that the Russian satellite weighed more than MOt. poinds. He said that if this was tru« it was a source of great astonishment to American scientists. The President said that in a political sense the Soviet Union by firing the first earth satellite, had possibly gained a world politifal advantage. But he doubted whether Russia had gained any scientific advantage over the United States. T« Be Test Vehicle As for the Russian claim that the Soviet Union had successfully fired an intercontinental ballistic missile, ,the President said this government did not know the details of the Russian ICBM test and that the measurement of its success was a matter of accuracy on hitting a target. He said that if the Russians had fired an ICBM and returned it to a specific target area it was undoubtedly a great accomplishment —if done. The President tola newsmen that the first American satellite to be , fired in December would not carry intricate instrumentation but would be sent in outer space as a test vehicle. He said several similar satellites probably would be fired into space before the United States puts up an artificial moon with complicated instrumentation. Says U.B. Not Laggtnr "As to the Soviet satellite,’’ the President said in a prepared statement distributed at his news conference, ”we congratulate Soviet scientists upon putting a satellite into orbit." Later, under questioning, Eisenhower said scientists had long known that it was possible to put 1 satellite into orbit around the earth, but that it was a different matter to send up a globe with effective instrumentation. He did not feel that the United States development program for missiles was lagging particularly behind the Russians, although he said he was never satisfied. ■ He emphasized that in this country there was a definite separation between the satellite program and the military development of ballistic missiles. “The United States satellite program has been designed from its inception for maximum results in scientific research,” he said in his statement. U.S. Not Trying to Race “The rocketry employed by our Naval Research Laboratory for launching our Vanguard has been deliberately separated from our ballistic missile efforts in order, first, to accent the scientific purposes of the satellite and, second, to avoid interference with top priority missile programs.” The President said it would have been possible to have launched an orbiting American satellite before now by merging scientific effort with military programs. But, he added, this would have been detrimental to scientific goals and military progress. Continues on Tag* Five)

Soviet Russia Launches Drive On Co-Existence Radio Signals From Russian Satellite Perking Up Again LONDON (UP)—The Soviet Union opened a double - barrelled diplomatic offensive today for “peaceful CO - existence” and general disarmament and said its successful satellite was the “best propagandist” for a course. Radio signals from the artificial satellite perked up again today and British scientists who Tuesday night preidected its fall “within a matter of hours" reversed themselves and said it was still going strong. Moscow also disclosed new details about the satellite aad its launching. It said three objects actually were orbiting the earth—the aluminum-sheathed satellite, the rocket which sent it into space, and the protective cone which shielded the satellite. How It was Done The official Communist organ Pravda disclosed that the satellite was carried aloft by a three-stage rocket whchdi st arteofetrfv iacllyy and then leveled off on a course parallel with the surface of the earth. The third stage of the rocket reached outer space. It said the satellite eventually would fall into the earth’s atmosphere and die the death of a meteor. But even if it fell now the Soviet has achieved a momentous propaganda victory and one that has led the United States to reappraise tis entire disarmament policy and its rocket missile building program. Washington dispatches said President Eisenhower was deeply concerned with the Soviet achieve: ment despite an outward air of clam, and was holding almost constant conferences with his military and scientific advisers. The State Department already has reversed itself on the question of disarmament. Tuesday night it offered to discusS control of outer space and missiles with Russia without waiting for an overall disarmament agreement. A few hours earlier it said no to such a proposal. Fall From Pravda Pravada called for peaceful coexistence in all fields and said the satellite which is revolving round our planet where both socialist and capitalist countries are situated” There were reassuring words from some American scientists on the U. S. rocket research program. But some of the military scientists attending the World As(Cuntlnued on Page Five) INDIANA WEATHER Mostly cloudy tonight, cooler extreme north but warmer south poriton.

New Group Os Jurors Queried In Road Case Questioning Slow For Prospective Jurors For Trial INDIANAPOLIS (UP)—A new group of prospective Jurors Underwent painstaking questioning today by attorneys for the state and defense in the Indiana highway scandal conspiracy trial of former highway chairman Virgil (Red) Smith and three other men. So slow was the questioning that in a period of an hour and a quarter this morning, only fohr from a special venire drawn for the trial were plied with queries on their attitudes toward the scandal case and various points of law involved. J'i At one point, opposing attorneys got into a tangle aver seating temporarily David Neal, 37, Indianapolis factory worker. The defense wanted to keep Mm In the jury box because He said ha did not believe in circumstantial evidence. The prosecution challenged Neal an the basts of his answer. Defense objected to the challenge. Judge Walter Pritchard upheld the prosecution and Neal was excused. In another court, while the trial was going* on, an attorney for Smith filed a motion to strike out parts of each of five bribery indictments against Smith. Hie motion would remove the part of the indictments which accuse Smith of soliciting bribes, but would leave in tbe part accusing him of accepting them. Earlier, a defense attorney claimed an erroneous statement in the conspiracy indictment rules out conviction of the four defendants. - - .i'v-li— —is ; Frank Symmes, attorney for former state highway* chairman Virgil (Red) Smith, said*'the conspiracy indictment returned by a.

Wessel presented slides of his stay in the land-locked South American country of Bolivia,; which he visited as an IFYE in 1955. He showed the different types of homes of the rich' and the poor inti that country, which consists abo4t TO percent of‘lndians . Following the dinner, 4-H key club awards were presented to Carl L. Baker, of Berne, Helen Rumple, of Jefferson township, and Margaret Beeler, of Wabash township, by Charles Hottinger and Russell T. Tweedy, representing the Cities Service Oil company. The 4-H key club, which was described as the "Phi Beta Kappa of 4-H work” was explained. Adams county now has 14 members in the exclusive organization. County agent Leo N. Seltenright stated that information concerning the coveted award was available at the county agent’s office. Howard Habegger, president of the Monroe Lions club, presided at the meeting, and introduced county agent Seltenright. The group gave a fine round of applause to Seltenright for his work with the junior leader organization. Steve Bauman, Wabash township, vice president of the junior leaders, thanked the Lij&is clubs of Adams county for the recognition banquet, and especially thanked the host club, Monroe. Seltenright stated that he felt a fine precedent was started when the Monroe club met with the group. In previous years the host club had merely sent a delegation. A total of 97 junior leaders completed their record books, and received 4-H recognition. There were 73 of these present for the banquet, a new high in attendance. Carl Baker was the only fouryear man in the junior leaders this year. There were 13 third year, 34 second year, and 49 first year members who completed the project. <

Faubus Favors Withdrawal Os Negro Students Practically Serves < Notice Troops Stay ’ On In Little Rock LITTLE ROCK, Ark. OPI — Gov. Orval E. Faubus practically served notice on the White House today that federal troops will have to stay in Little Rock as long as nine Negrdes attend Central High school. Replying to a question at a news conference, Faubus said he thinks it necessary for the nine Negroes to be withdrawn for a “cooling off period" so that tranquility can be .restored. - ■ — — r—- ——-» A reporter asked him pointblank whether he meant that fed-* eral troops will have to stay as long as Negroes are in the school. "That’s the indication at the moment,” Faubus replied. Hie governor said he is willing to resume negotiations with the White House, which were broken off eight days ago, on the matter of withdrawing the troops. ! M “I don’t want to appear adamant or arbitrary about this thing.’.* be said. “I think the situation shouldbe left where negotiations can be resumed. But I know of no plane or developments that would warrant a reopening of discussions with 'the government.” President Eisenhower said at hir news conference today he hopes the troops can be soon. He indicated that his informants included students, teachers and possibly members of the military itself. "I dp not choose to release the names of the students at this time because they probably would be expelled,” Faubus told a news conference. :... , “If I named a teacher or teachers they probably would be fired. If I name a soldier or soldiers they probably would be eourt-mar-tialled.” He said this was “further proof’ that military enforcement of integration and the presence to troops at the school is “impracticable.” He nofod there had been “frantic denials” in Washington of his (Continued on Pure Six) Master Spy Soble Given Light Term Jack Soble Given Seven-Year Term NEW YORK — W) — Master spy Jack Soble, guilty of a crime that could have meant the electric chair, today faced a relatively light term of seven years for conspiracy. Soble, 55, evaded the more serious charge of espionage by pleading guilty to conspiracy. He told Federal Judge Richard H. Levet last week he would never be able to forgive himself for the 15 years he spent as U.S. boss of a Soviet espionage ring. Levet, taking into account Soble’s remorse and the aid he has given in uncovering in other spy activity, Tuesday imposed the comparatively light sentence. At the same time, Levet cut the 5% year terms imposed earlier on Soble’s aides, his wife, Myra, and Pacob Albam. Mrs. Soble, 52, pleaded she was only a wife doing what her husband asked. Her term was cut to four years, but her request for probation was denied. Albam, 64, complained he was old and sick. Hit sentence was reduced to five years. All three were exposed by former Hollywood director and composer Boris Morros. himself an American counterspy for 10 years. Hiey were arrested together Jan. 25 and pleaded guilty to conspiring to transmit U S- military, economic and government secrets to Russia., . , '.

Britain Explodes Powerful A-Bomb Sunburns Newsmen Five Miles Away MARALINGA, Australia (UP)— Britain today exploded an atomic bomb so powerful that it "sunwumed” newsmen five miles from the blast. The bomb, reported to ea tacSBcal weapon ready for immediate use, was suspended from three balloons 1,000 feet in the air over the desolate Maralinga testing grounds in western Australia. Hie blast apparently was more powerful than British and Australian scientists had expected. It sent two scorching shockwaves over the desert-like area, the first greater than the second. As the heat rose in the press teat, newsmen felt their hair crackling. One Royal Air Force serviceman wearing shorts had the hair singed from the back of bjs l^gs. An hour afterwards the exposed parts of everyone’s skin felt severely sunburned L When the first shock wave hit it lifted papers and hats to the roof of the 15-foot high press tent. The tent ballooned up and then partly collapsed on a slant. Scientists had calculated that newsmen would be able to turn around and face the location of the explosion two seconds after it went off. But many of those who did, caught a glimpse of a fireball many times brighter than the sun and had to turn their backs again quickly and jamtheir knuckles in their eyes. It was several seconds before they could face the fireball again. By then it had died down to a bright orange. „a!% ■ — , Big Bargain Days Planned In City Special Events In , Decatur Oct. 25-26 Decatur retail merchants will offer two big bargain days Friday and Saturday, Oct. 25 and 26, in conjunction with the ninth annual rural-urban fish fry and the second annual soybean festival.

U. S. Willing To Participate in Space Study Willing For Study On International Study Os Control WASHINGTON (UP) -President Eisenhower said today that the United States would be willing to take part in an East-West study of international controls on outer space objects if U.S. Allies agree. The President emphasized at a news conference that the United States would be willing to change its previous policy now and study a separate agreement with the Soviet Union on outer space missiles and other objects. The United States until Tuesday had insisted that such an agreement be part of an overall firststep disarmament agreement with Russia. Eisenhower disclosed at the same time that Secretary of State John Foster Dulles warned privately last July against inviting Soviet Marshal Georgi A. Zhukov to visit the United States. Dulles said that the United States should beware of two-way talks with the Russians while talks with many nations lire going on on such subjects as disdrmament. The London disarmament conference was going on last suihiner in London. The question of a Zhukov visit came up when the President was asked about a statement by Nikita Khrushchev that the United States last July had “rebuffed” a meeting between Zhukov and other officials of the Eisenhower administration. The President told newsmen that he knew nothing about any rebuff to the Soviets about a Zhukov visit. He said that if this happened it was not intentional. The President said a bad interpretation probably would have been placed throughout the world on any Zhukov visit last July. He said the whole thing arose because of a hypothetical answer to a hypothetical question at the President’s news conference on July 18.

Ike Hopeful Troops Can Be Withdrawn Indicates Faubus Act Caused Strife WASHINGTON (UP) -President Eisenhower said today he is very hopeful that federal troop* can be withdrawn from little Rock’s Central High School soon. He made the statement at his news conference when asked if he agreed with Rep. Brooks Hays ( (D - Ark.) that the time was "rapidly approaching” when the 1 situation would calm down enough for local offilcals to handle it. Eisenhower said he certainly was very hopeful that that would be the case. As soon as local officials say that they have the thing right in their hands, he said, the federal government would have ,no other function at the school. The President indicated belief that there would have been no trouble in integrating the school if Gov. Orval E. Faubus of Arkansas had not called out the Nati nal Guard to prevent it. When asked if he believed that was the case, first said he was being asked to speculate. But he added that integration had started peacefully at other Arkansas schools and said he didn't know of any particular reason why it would have been different at Little Rock If Faubus hadn’t Intervened. /.

McElroy Sworn In As Defense Leader Sworn To Office Os Defense Secretary WASHINGTON (UP) — Neil H. McElroy, Cincinnati soap manufacturer and advertising expert, was sworn in today as defense secretary at a White House ceremony attended by President Eisenhower. McElroy, 52, succeeds Charles W. Wilson who is retiring to private life. He becomes the sixth secretary since the Defense Department Was established by the Armed Services Unification Act of 1947. Before McElroy was sworn in in the cabinet room of the White * House, Eisenhower awarded Wilson the Medal of Freedom, citing him for nearly five years of “positive leadership, sound judgment and unceasing efforts...major factors in strengthening the security of the United States and its . Allies against aggression. “Under his guidance, the effectiveness of the armed forces of the United States has been greatly increased," the citation said. “Their strategic deployment to endangered parts of the world has been a major factor in the preservation of peace.” Pinning the red, blue - striped ribboned medal on Wilson’s coat lapel, Eisenhower said the citation “was a lot of words to tell you we deeply appreciate what you have done.” After McElroy was sworn in by White House administrative officer, Percy E. Nelson, the President shook hands with the new defense secretary and laughingly said: “Well, welcome to the Cabinet. You are now a bureaucrat." McElroy, since shortly after he was, nominated for the defense post on Aug. 19, began orientating himself for the new job by spending most of his time at the Pentagon or inspecting military installations in this country.

NEW YORK (UP) - Manager Casey Stengel today called on Bob in a/ attempt to keep the New York Yankees “alive” in the 1957 Trailing the Milwaukee Braves three games to two, the Yankees again were handicapped by the absence of centerfielder Mickey Mantle, their leading offensive weapon. Mantle said the pulled tendon in his right shoulder was so sore that he doubted “whether I’ll even be able to pinch hit.” Hoping to close out the series, Manager Fred Haney chose Bob Buhl, a 17-game winner, as the Milwaukee hurler. Buhl and Turley were the opposing pitchers in the third series game at Milwaukee Saturday. Buhl was knocked out of the boat in the first inning and was charged with the loss. Turley also failed to last, the credit for the win going to Don Larsen. Stengels aid he would start Lar* sen Thursday in the seventh game if the Yankees win today.
