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.

P) -- id yod I Ranger 4, a fantastically complex spacecraft turned into a hurtling hulk by brain failure, crashed yesterday as expected on the back side of the moon. Scientists, disappointed at its inability to conduct moon measur- ing experiments, nonetheless hailed it as a major step in space research. The fact that it hit its target without guidance along the way, they said, indicates future spacecraft can be shot moonward with accuracy. y, joining Lands Near Lunik II noon.

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. A Bethlehem spokesman said tn '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.

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 B-57 jet bomber- A few demonstrations against the United States resumption of tests were reported from around the world and the Communists, as expected, used it in their pro- paganda.
