Asked whether the United States had rockets in the same class, he said "we have such developments going." The thrust of the Thor and Jupiter intermediate range ballistic missile is unofficially understood to be 150,000 pounds. The Atlas intercontinental ballistic missile, with a main rocket and two boosters, totals about 360,000 pounds of thrust. York's estimate of thrust needed for Sputnik III was lower than that made by Maj. Gen. John B.

Medaris, Army missile chief, who said the new satellite must have had a 500.000-pound rocket booster. Medaris said the launching of Sputnik III proves that Russia has the capacity to fire rocket to the moon. He said he feared the United States was not putting sufficient money and effort into its space race with Russia. If this country is "going to be any place at all," he said, "it has to send up iargcr satellites." All French troops on leave in France were ordered back 1 to duty tonight by the National Defense Ministry. The Ministry said troops, should report to the comman- ders of military districts where they are taking their leave.

This order applies to troops on leave from Algeria as well as all other troops. At the same time, French RADICAL REDUCTIONS! Advance-Styled House Democratic Leader John W. McCormack expressed aboard; Sputnik III will not return to earth. Fyederov said the Soviet cosmic research program was broader in scope than the American program and Sputnik III carried all the instruments that American earth satellites carried "and much more." In answer to a question from a Communist correspondent, he said that, lacking any request from the United States, the Soviet Union has no plans to show the Americans how to launch a comparable satellite. Soviet television cameras and photographers lined the walls of the hall where he spoke, and the show probably will be televised in the Soviet Union tonight or tomorrow.

The Soviet scientist was asked why Sputnik III carried no passengers. "Soviet Sputniks are launched for a wide variety of purposes," he said. "This launching was designated for geophysical and cosmic research and not for biological research. Biological research will be conducted again in future Soviet Sputniks." He said the latest launching was "a major step" toward flights to the moon and interplanetary travel in general. "But," he said, "these are extremely difficult problems and a great deal more work is required." Fyederov declined to give the number of stages in the rocket that launched Sputnik III, saying that it involves "some" stages.

Similarily he 'said its life span should run to "some" months, longer than Sputnik II, which stayed in orbit five months. i The Soviet Union considered launching Sputnik HI to the moon but decided it was not yet scientifically worthwhile, Russian astronomer Var-varov said. "If the Sputnik's weight had been reduced by several kilo, grams it could have reached the moon," Varvarov said. "But the scientific significance of that experiment would not have been great because it coud not have carried the necessary instruments to transmit data back to earth," he added. ajl WinterSs confidence that the United States can "leap frog the Soviets in outer space" under the leadership of a new national space administration.

But McCormack, also House Space Committee chairman, said the launching of Sputnik III "serves as a warning to us particularly our top leaders." "The American people have got to awake from their complacency. We have got to put the space program on the top level and spend money to en able our brains and facilities to produce the results." (New York Times writer Sullivan, noting that the total weight of Sputnik III is 786 pounds greater than its instrument load, speculated that part of the weight might be accounted for by braking rockets and parachuting equipment for a recovery effort. I has relieved a certain number of public officials without prior consultation with the government, as well as the general impression gained from this information, obliges us to pose the question of the army's place in the nation," he said. Only this morning, the official Journal of Algeria published several appointments made over Salan's name. They put army colonels in jobs previously held by civilians and in one case put a civilian member of the Committee of Public Safety in a job previously held by a civil servant.

Delbecque said In an interview that Salan had the full confidence of the Committee of Public Safety and presided over many of its sessions. "All here, including Salan, in the present situation consider that the only man capable of satisfying legality and a just vindication of claims Is Gen. De Gaulle," Delbecque said. Delbeque said a General Safety Committee, grouping representatives frorn all local safety committees across Algeria, will hold its first meeting late tonight or tomorrow. He said General Committee would act ''as a consultative assembly for the executive represented by Gen.

Salan." He added It was nobody's intention to have Algeria secede from France. "The greatest calm reigns in Algiers," Delbecque said. He added that "not a single terrorist aggression has been recorded for the past three days." However, a report from Ora today indicated a bombing took place therfc this morning. Asked to comment on the Paris government's decision to decree a state of emergency all across France, Delbecque bitterly remarked: "When for many years people yelled for abandoning Indochina first and later Algeria, nothing was done to prevent them. Now that patriots -want to save Algeria, emergency powers are requested against them." Ik II II II w.

Sources at French headquarters in Baden Baden said all leaves have been canceled pending the outcome of political developments in Paris. There was no immediate explanation for the order sending soldiers on leave back to duty.

Defense Minister Pierre de Chevigne issued it shortly after the National Assembly approved the government's request for special police powers. The order coincided with reports that two high ranging air force officers on the staff of Gen. Paul Ely, chairman of the French combined chiefs of staff, were ordered confined to quarters. (The United Press satf rumors swept the Assembly that Gen. Ely had resigned.

It was disclosed that both Ely and Marshal Alphonse Juin, now retired, conferred separately this afternoon with President Coty.) De Gaulle remained in seclusion in his country home 150 miles from Paris. He received no visitors but was getting a flood of telegrams. iDe Gaulle made it known today that he has no intention of returning to power by force, the United Press said, 'He did so through a statement to the Assembly by Gaullist deputy Jean Lipkow-ski, who saw the general this morning. shall know shortly that the general will place himself at France's service only within the absolute framework of republican legality," Lipkow-ski announced.) Yesterday De Gaulle issued a cryptic statement declaring the "regime of parties" was destroying France and he was ready to take over the "powers of the republic" presumably to rule unchecked by the assembly. Pflimlin in his request said the army, until now a powerful unifying factor in "our unhappily divided nation has entered on a path that threatens to tea the nation apart." Pflimlin said he still hoped the army in Algeria would listen to President Rene Coty's appeal for obedience to the Paris government.

The Premier said 48 persons in France had been arrested on the night of May 13-14 the night after the Algiers mob and paratroop Brig. Gen. Jacques Massu took over in the North African capital on charges of plotting against the' Republic. Just before the assembly Reg. Ol 1 i U.S.

Levitt, "but also a power supply to operate it, plus a stablizing device to keep the camera pointed toward the earth." Dr. Levitt emphasized that he was only guessing as to the kind of equipment Sputnik III may be carrying, but asserted that if the United States orbited such a heavy satellite it most certainly would have TV.

America's largest satellite to date weighs 31 pounds. Brucker told a Portland, 1 audience that the United States will have Russia ringed by operational intermediate missiles by December.

He said Russian intercontinental ballistic missiles prob-1 ably are still without the neres- sary guidance systems and re- entry nose cones to make them effective weapons of war. "We must remember," Brucker said, "that a 1500- mile-range missile of ours on Russia's borders is equivalent to a 5000-mile I.C.B.M. in the possession of the U.S.S.R. or China and directed at us." Russia's big Sputnik III was sighted by moonwatch teams from Florida to California last night and early today. Some observers reported sighting both the satellite and the final stage rocket.

One team In Edinburg, Tex however, surprised moonwatch officials at the Smithsonian Astrophysical Observatory in Cambridge by reporting that two bright objects and faint obiects were sighted. Scientists said the two fa'nt objects might have been parts f. torn, off the satellite or the final stage rocket, both of which are in orbit. i (Sputnik III and Us carrier rocket were sighted today by long-range radar at the Air Force's Millstone Hill installa- -tion at Westford, Mass.) 1 BUY YOURS NOW IN OUR TERRIFIC FACTORIES' SURPLUS STOCK CLEARANCE!
