WASHINGTON (P)-Dean Rusk,
designated Monday as top-ranking
man in President-elect John F.
Kennedy's cabinet, yesterday
visited his future office at the
State Department to begin boning
up on the problems he will face.
He met for 40 minutes with vet-'
eran diplomat Roy Henderson,
deputy under - secretary who is"
acting as head of the department
in the absence of Secretary of1
State Christian A. Herter and un-
der-secretary Douglas Dillon.
Emerging from the session, Rusk
told reporters he would not discuss
foreign policy issues or comment
on the issues. Such remarks should
"be made only under responsible
conditions," he said, meaning the;
Dwight D. Eisenhower adminis-
tration is in charge until Jan. 20.
Sees 'Homework'
Apparently trying to explain
why he ruled out any discussion of.
great deal of homework to be
done ... I have been aware of my
prospective responsibility for a
very brief time."
However, Rusk clarified two
pending questions:

U.S. To Make First Attempt
To Launch Lunar Satellite
s
CAPE CANAVERAL (q) - The
moon moved into a favorable posi-
tion yesterday and a giant United
States rocket is poised for an at-
tempt to launch the first lunar
satellite.
Scientists here are making final
preparations to fire a towering
Atlas-Able rocket on the exacting
mission of propelling a 388-pound
spacecraft deep, into space and
guiding it into orbit about the
moon, some 240,000 miles away.
The spacecraft, named Pioneer
VI, is packed with electronic in-
struments designed to make the
most extensive study ever attempt-
ed of lunar environment. They
will collect and transmit informa-
tion on radiation, magetic fields,
micrometeorites and other space
properties.
This data is needed before man
ventures forth to the moon. If
he is not properly protected, deadly
radiation would kill him before -he
got there. And a strong magnetic
field could upset a space vehicle's
guidance system and send It off
course.
The most favorable time for the
launching is a five-day period
starting yesterday. The chance of
success is greater in this period
because the paths of the earth
and the moon are most closely
aligned as they orbit about the,
sun-and the sun therefore is not
in a position to distort the rocket
by its pull of gravity.
If the launching is not accom-
plished in this time, it will be
postponed until the next optimum
period, which occurs each 28.days.
be the department's No. 2 official
in charge of political affairs.
Appointment Coming
Rusk said another under-secre-
tary, to be in over-all control of
economic affairs in foreign policy,
will be appointed later.
Rusk was asked about his phi-
losophy on news conferences, a
sore point to reporters who feel
that Herter has shunned meeting
with them in recent months. Her-
ter has had no news, conference
since Sept. 14.
"One of the great responsibilities
of the Secretary of State is to keep
the American public as fully in-
formed as possible about what is
going on in the foreign policy
field," Rusk said.
Explains Position
Rusk firmly brushed aside a
question reminding him that some
European newspapers had ex-
pressed concern that he might be
preoccupied with Far Eastern
problems since he had been an
assistant secretary inscharge of
that area-a key position in the
period of the Korean War and of
the Japanese peace treaty.
In his reply, Rusk referred to
Kennedy's statement of Monday.
The President-elect, Rusk said,
had emphasized "the fundamental
nature of our relations with Eu-
rope and the importance of
strengthening and improving our
transatlantic relations."

ANTOINE GIZENGO
... Congo ruler?
United Nations Secretary-General
Dag Hammarskjold he had assum-
ed the premiership.
The Deputy Premier in Lumum-
ba's old regime also announced
that the capital of the Congo
henceforth would be Stanleyville
instead of Leopoldville.
Gizenga's proclamation is ex-
pected to have little effect in areas
beyond his control, but his allies1
in the Soviet and African blocs
are expected to rally to his cause
in the UN and may extend diplo-
matic recognition.
It was Gizenga's rebellious re-
gime in Orientale province that
threatened to round up and be-
head white hostages unless Lu-
mumba was released from an army
prison in Thysville east of Leopold-
ville.
This threat vasdropped when;
the UN intervened.
President Joseph Kasavubu and
Col. Joseph Mobutu, heading the
pro-Western regime in Leopold-
ville, ignored the ultimatum..
Many fear Gizenga's bid for
power could start new warfare ge-
tween Mobutu's army and the
Communist-supported provincial
government at Stanleyville.
