(UPi A high defense official ^aid yesterday the United State.', (oulii launch a space satellite carrying SO men m 10 to 1*» years and send a round-trip airship to the moon in 20 to 2"*

years.

The prediction was made b John J. Crowley, guided missile director in the office of Assist ant Defense Secretary Frank D Newbury. He spoke to the I.i bra lies Association Conferee

here.

Crowley said bigger and better untnanne'.’. satellite vehicles win be developed following the tiny pian-made moon this country plans to send aloft during tlv 1957-58 geophysical year. "If sufficient resources are devoted to the task.” he said, “a tkird major step would be to send up a manned satellite . . . such a satellite with its living quarters for 80 scientists, etc., could be a reality in 10 to 15 years. "In the next 10 years thereafter, planes and ships could be perfected so ws to make the trip to the moon and return.” Crowley’s space travel forecast was first in such strong

the frontiers of spare travel.” “There are almost unlimited -.;-r.* if;c ar.d technoiogicai reasons why we must launch sn . is*, rumen ted satellite ’Tito an orbit, followed by manned satellites and finally by interplanetary travel,” he said. Man himself will be one of the biggest problems in space tra 1 e’ because he will encounter conditions that cannot be tested in earth laboratories, the defense official continued. One problem is the absolute silence in space in which a man’s own heartbeat and breathing miglv deafen or hypnotize him. he said. ATOM REACTORS 'ENTIRELY SAFE' SAYS PHYSICIST CHICAGO, June 7—(UP)— A nuclear physicist says that atomic pow’er reactors are so safe he wouldn’t hesitate to build \ “my own homse” next door to j

one.

Dr. A. F. Henry of the Westinghouse Electric Company described safety features of a power reactor his firm is building at Shippingport. Pa., 25 miles : northwest of Pittsburgh. Henry said ‘‘we could have built the plant in the Golden Triangle” of downtown Pittsburgh. He spoke at a news conference as more than 1,000 of the nation’ top atomic scientists opened a three-day meeting of the American Nuclear Society. The meeting was described as the

Both Henry and a colleague, Dr. J. Nelson Grace of Westinghouse ,agreed that the Shippingport reactor is safer than a conventional power plant, although much more costly because of the

effort to make it so.

Henry said Westinghouse experts tried to envision the “most ridiculius” circumstances possible in making the Shippingport reac-

tor safe.

He said even a saboteur carrying a charge of TNT and eluding guards could not blow the reactor up. He said the uranium core is housed in a case of steel surrounded by a “pressure vessel" of carbon steel nine inches thick. These in turn are covered by a steel sphere one-inch thick and the whole is surrounded by a con-

crete cell five feet thick.
