WASHINGTON (P) - A two-
month speedup in the date for
launching the first full - fledged
United States earth satellite was
listed as a possibility by the Navy
yesterday.
A spokesman said that, if the
Navy is successful with its 6.4-
inch, 3%-pound test satellite next
month, the 20-inch sphere carry-
ing complex instruments might be
fired into orbit in January.
Originally the launching of the
larger, sphere was planned for
March.
Sen. Henry Jackson (D-Wash.)
told a news conference' it may be
necessary to increase taxes to pro-
vide money for a greatly increased
military program including mis-
siles and nuclear devices.
Sen. Jackson, who heads the
weapon subcommittee of the Sen-
ate-H'ouse Atomic Energy Com-,
mittee, said the United States
should begin at once a crash pro-
gram for construction of 100 or
more atomic-powered submarines.
These -would afford the best
platform on- which to carry mis-
siles that would deter Russia from
starting a war, he said.
The Navy spokesman disclosed
the possibility of a January
launching of the larger United
States moonlet after a news con-
ference by Dr. John P. Hagen,
director of Project Vanguard-the
United States satellite -effort.

Listening in on the Inglis Estate,
Brain Trust (it rings of Bretton
Woods and Dumbarton Oaks), one
understands why this country of
free men has in the past risen to
look its best after it had looked its
worse.
There was great concern shown
by the group in the Inglis study,
but no fear. The scientists and ex-
perts spoke first and analysed the

too small for their two-year-old
son and a second child due in
December, the Speers moved to a
house of their own in Plymouth.
As a landlord, Dr. Speer feels
he is learning a lot about human
nature. "Landlords in a university
town," he. says, "accept a lot. of
things because they get used to,
boys. If you sent a group of college
boys to live in a house in a non-
college town, the landlords would
be shocked to death.
Boyy Get Rowdy
"When boys 'get 'away from
home," he says, "they tend to act
rowdy. Boys in the service, fdr
example, go out and do lots of
things they shouldn't' when they
are 3,000 miles from home." Dr.
Speer was in the Naval Reserve for
eight years.
Dr. Speer does not use Univer-
sity rooming house contracts from
the Dean of Men's office, which
requires students to"conform .to a
set of rules similar to those in the
residence halls and hold them to
the agreement for a semester.
Instead, he insures some per-
manency of 'tenants by collecting
the last month's rent at the start
of each semester. This he holds as
problem. Men with great power"
over the direction of this state
spoke next, noting the practical
roadblocks to what, most all
agreed, had to be done. Without
identifying the speakers, here is
the essence of what was said:
"We came to determine the im-,
plications. of Sputnik. Precise steps
Imust be subsequently studied care-
fully. Steps must be taken if' we
are to survive."
"Teachers (high school and ele-
mentary) aren't interested enough,
in their fields."
"Younger people should have a
desire to earn their money in the
scientific area. We must also bring
more foreign students to this
country.... They want to come-
but they need financial assistance.

WASHINGTON (P) - Adlai E. Stevenson set up shop in the State
Department yesterday, apparently unruffled by some bi-partisan snip-
ing at his decision to help President Dwight D. Eisenhower strengthen
the Atlantic Alliance.
The former Illinois governor; defeated 'by President. Eisenhower in
the 1952 and 1956 presidential elections, met for 1% hours with Sec-
retary of State John Foster Dulles. Stevenson pronounced the ses-
sion "very encouraging."

DETROIT (/) - One of the
Army's top rocket developers yes-
terday said that the recovery of a'
Jupiter C rocket nose cone, dis-
played by President Dwight D.
Eisenhower in his television ad-
dress Nov. 7, indicates the United
States may be able to send a man
into space and bring him back

There is no program presently

In a speech that he said re-
flected only his own opinion, he
advocated letting scientists'shoot
for the stars--and beyond-from
the beginning, instead of aiming
for one objective, achieving it and
then aiming at another.
This he compared to a tree
trunk growing up with the Sput-
niks, Muttniks and "Man-niks"
coming naturally -as "fruit for the
plucking as the tree develops."
In order to win the psychologi-
cal and. technological war with
Russia, he said, "we must not

Miss Brake said that one of her
goals was to "promote unity among

She plans to continue the con-
stitutional revision, the Markley

the position of their treasurer.

istrative assistant, Highway De-
partment; James M. Hare, see-

Included among the seven
legislators present were Sen.
Elmer R. Porter (R-Blissfield),
chairman of the Senate Ap-
propriations Committee, Rep.
George W. Sallade (R-Ann Ar-
bor) and Rep. JamesWarner,
(R-Ypsilanti).

"The number of teachers and
classrooms is insufficient. We have
more half-day classes now than
we used to have. ... Are we going
to say we can't do the job because
it will raise taxes."
"Only one-half of the top 20
per cent of high school graduates
go on to college."
"The University's 'new' physics.
building is 23 years old."
"It took the Russians 15 years
and it will take us a long time to
prepare our young for college
science. The responsibility for our

Superintendent of Public Instruc-
tion. . . . The curriculum must be

-'suspended sentence of three years.
The suspension provides for four
years' good behavior.
It permits 22-year-old Girard,
of Ottawa, Ill., to return to the
United States if neither defense
nor prosecution appeals within 14
"days.
Either side may appeal a verdict
in Japan.
The three-judge, no-jury district
court also ordered Girard to pay
witness fees of the trial.
It had convened in 15 inter-
mittent sessions since Aug. 26.
The fees are expected to total
about $20.
The long international furor over
the case of William S. Girard
preached the verdict stage today.
The three Japanese judges who
heard the evidence in the case of
the soldier were to hand down
their decision in the small Mae-
bashi Court room at about 10 am.-
8 p.m., EST yesterday.
Girard was charged with "in-
flicting bodily injury resulting in
death-manslaughter---in the fatal
shooting of Mrs. Naka Saki, 46
years old, a Japanese scrap collec-
tor, on Jan. 30 at a Somagahara
firing range.'

It was Stevenson's debut as
Democratic consultant on Presi-
dent Eisenhower's program to
draw the North Atlantic Treaty
Organization closer together in
the face of Russia's new scienti-
fic-propaganda advances.
Accompany Ike
Stevenson said he did not know
whether he would accompany
President Eisenhower and Dulles
to Paris to lay the program before
the. NATO heads of govenient
meeting Dec. 16.
Some Democrats and some Re-
publicans have been critical of
Stevenson's acceptance of Pres-
ident Eisenhower's invitation to
help, and of the offer itself.
Democratic critics noted the of-
fer had not come directly from
President Eisenhower, but had
been routed through Dulles.
They also questioned whether
the whole thing was designed, not
merely as a bid for bipartisan sup-
port, but to stifle Democratic'
criticism.
Calls Absurd
Among the Republicans, Sen.
George A. Aiken of Vermont
called it "absurd" to think bipar-
tisanship could be gained after
Stevenson signed a Democratic
statement sharply critical of Pres-
ident Eisenhower's leadership in
the current emergency.
6n the other hand, Sen.
George Smathers (D-Fla.) com-
mended President Eisenhower and
his advisors for "their long over-
due willingness to consult with.
Stevenson.
