Cooperation
By The Associated Press
CAPE CANAVERAL-The Unit-
ed States and Great Britain joined
together yesterday. to launch a'
scientific satellite.
This feat, coupled with a joint
United States-Japanese rocket
launching at Wallops Island, Va.,
signaled a new era in internation-
al space cooperation.
Russian Probe
Earlier, Russia announced the
launching of its fourth Sputnik in
six weeks. The new earth satellite,
Cosmos IV, was described by So-
viet authorities as packed with
radiation measuring instruments
and other space-probing gear.
British Prime Minister Harold
Macmillan, visiting in the United
States, is expected to announce a
name for the British - United
States satellite launched from
Cape Canaveral.
Thor-Delta Boost
The gold-plated satellite was
boosted into orbit by a Thor-Delta
rocket - the most reliable United
States space booster - which
scored its eighth consecutive sat-
ellite launching success.
Jubilant. officials of both coun-
tries announced the 132-pound
tracking team at Cape Canaveral
payload was in orbit when a.
picked up signals from it after it
completed one two-hour whirl
around the world.
The 23-inch cylinder, bristling
with solar cell panels, experiment
booms and antenna, was sent aloft
to explore the ionosphere and cos-
mic radiation.
Sir Harrie Massie, Chairman of
the British National Committee
for Space Research, commented
that "I've. alway sregarded the
United States as very proficient
technically and I'm even more
convinced now.

spacecraft turned into a hurtling

Scientists, disappointed at its
inability to conduct moon measur-

hailed it as a major step in space
research. The fact that it hit its
target without guidance along the

NEW YORK {gip} - The Nation's
two largest steel producers, United
States Steel and Bethlehem Steel,
were indicted yesterday; with two
smaller firms, on federal charges
of rigging bids and fixing prices
on forgings.
Sales for the companies in-
volved were estimated at $100 mil-
lion a year.
The grand jury complaint had
no connection with the $6-a-ton
increase in steel prices earlier this
month, which was spearheaded by
the United' States Steel Corpora-
tion. The increase had been with-
drawn under pressure from Presi-
dent John F. Kennedy.
Indictment Charges Conspiracy
The indictment charged that a
conspiracy existed long before the
pricing crisis - beginning in 1948
and continuing through 1961. It
was said to involve steel forgings,
rotors and generator shafts sold
to the Army, Navy and private
manufacturers in violation of Fed-'
eral antitrust laws.
The government claimed bids
and prices were synchronized
through a New York trade asso-
ciation, that served as a clearing
house.
Indicted with the two major
companies were Erie Forge and
Steel Corp. and Midvale-Heppen-
stall Co. Also named defendants
were the New York Trade Asso-
ciation, Open Die Forging Insti-
tute, Inc.,and four individuals
from the companies.
Possible Prison Term
If convicted on the conspiracy
charge, they could receive a maxi-
mum one year prison sentence and
fines of $50,000 each. The com-
panies would be liable to $50,000
fines also.

'Conununism
Bill' Vetoed
By Swainson
By The Associated Press
Gov. John B. Swainson yester-
day vetoed a bill outlawing the
Communist Party in Michigan.
He termed the bill dangerous
legislation and "unnecessary du-
plication," and asserted it would
give too much power to the at-
torney general.
After issuing this, his second
veto of the current legislative
session, Swainson said the measure
gives "enormous and undeter-
mined powers" to the attorney
general.
a statement:
"We have not yet seen the in-
dictment. Bethlehem has long had
a policy of strict compliance with
all laws applicable to its opera-
tions, and we would be greatly
concerned if any Bethlehem em-
ployes had been violating the
law."
Officials of United States Steel
declined immediate comment.
The indictment claimed that
original conspirators in the price
fixing and bid rigging were United
States Steel, Bethlehem and the
Forging Institute. Erie was ac-
cused of joining the combine in
1950, and Midvale-Heppenstall in
1955.
Claim New York Meetings
United States Atty. Robert M.
Morgenthau said the individual
defendantsmet from time to time
in the Park Lane Hotel and else-
where in New York.
They were accused of reporting
all requests for price quotations
on forgings worth more than $500
to the institute, which was said
to have acted as a clearing house.
United States Steel did not re-
port directly to the institute, Mor-
genthau said, but relayed its; re-
ports through Bethlehem.
Bethlehem was pictured in the
indictment as the liaison firm be-
tween the other defendants and
United States Steel in the formu-
lation of price agreements.

al reasons, including a desire to
avoid shooting two doses of radio-
activity into the same air mass.
United States scientists were
busily checking preliminary data
from yesterday's initial explosion
over Christmas Island in the Pa-
cific.
The first test was described as
a successful explosion in the 100,-
000-500,000 tons (TNA equivalent)
range, a research and development
device rather than an operational
atomic weapon.
It was dropped from an air-
plane-probably from a B-52 or
