By JOSEPH ALSOP WASHINGTON. SENATOR JOHN F. KENNEDY of Massachusetts 'has now staked his presidential candidacy on the chancy Wisconsin primary, in which his chief opponent will be Senator Hubert H. Humphrey of Minnesota. The background of Kennedy's gamble casts much light on the character of the man.

In order to judge the risks accurately, he has ordered repeated polls of the state by opinion tester Louis Harris.

The most recent Harris poll, completed about a fortnight ago, was taken "in depth" with an extra large sample, ON THE ONE HAND, in a state-wide test of the preferences of Wisconsin Democratic voters, Kennedy beat Humphrey by 53.5 per cent to 4fl.5 per cen Thus Kennedy apparently has a slight edge over Humphrey in the contest for Wisconsin's 10 delegates-at-lnrge, who are chosen by a state-wide popular majority.

In Illinois, Kennedy has high hopes of support from Chicago's Mayor Richard Daley, whose choice will guide three quarters of the eighty-one Illinois delegates. But Daley is still waiting for the results in Wisconsin and the final words from Adlai Stevenson, who is also, quite clearly, waiting for the results in Wisconsin. In New York, too, Kennedy already has the support of certain great local barons like Buffalo leader Peter Crotty, Bronx Chieftain Charles Buckley and the O'Connells in Albany. But victory in Wisconsin can be expected to give Kennedy something even better the lion's share of New York's 114 delegates. These facts were what chiefly impressed the two most active pro-Kennedy professional politicians, Connecticut's Gov.

This unidentified expert was quoted by press and radio througout non-Communist Europe yesterday morning to the effect that the Russians had missed their target by several hundred miles.

The British BBC's overseas service spread the item throughout the world. When it was subsequently indicated that the Russians had been right on the beam, public reaction to the feat was not only particularly strong in favor of the Russians but was also critical of the United States for pooh-poohing them. The impact of the news on scientists and weapons experts is not as great as it is on the general public. It has long been tended for a space booster, it probably js a three-stage rocket with redundant guidance in the third stage. This permits com parison by a computer of the calculated course and the actual announced in pirmingnam, England, in a moment of anger in April 1957, that soon "we shall have a rocket that can reach anywhere in the world." He told Senator Hubert H.

Humphrey of Minnesota, that the Russians had an 8700-mile missile. As is usual in such announcements the Soviet dictator was not putting out empty propaganda. THE PUBLIC PROOF has been given in this particular test. Actually, the Soviet super rocket has been tested at ranges from 4000 to 4500 miles a number of times in the last two years. It has been tested at more extended ranges reaching into the North Pacific.

And it has been fired secretly into the area south of the Hawaiian islands more than "once last year. There is no reason to discount the official Soviet statement that the purpose of the test firings into the Pacific is to test the boosters to pui heavy earth satellites into orbit or to reach course so that corrections can be put in relatively late in the ini tial trajectory.

"It's your decision, Jack. And you've got to make it alone," Gov. Ribicoff told Kennedy, after giving the arguments for the Wisconsin gamble. THIS IS precisely what Ken-nedy finally did, after the coolest assessment of the odds. On the one'hand, he noted, a victory in Wisconsin would virtually insure the breakthroughs in Illinois, New York, and other states, which would in turn insure his Continued on Page 8, Col.

Humphrey also has a commanding lead in three districts, plus a narrow lead in a fourth district. The remaining three could swing either way. It can be seen, then, why Kennedy himself has frankly described Wisconsin as "no better than a 50-50 bet." Meanwhile, Kennedy has a good chance for the Democratic nomination in any case, while Humphrey has the slimmest imaginable chance, Several of the men around Kennedy therefore opposed a contest with Humphrey, In a state with peculiarities that favor Humphrey, and at no better than even One of these was the Senator's brother, Robert.

It has also been generally known for some time that the United States was able to shoot I.

What the performance seems to moan is that the Russians are officials said their present stand has no bearing on recognition. However, the issue could be other planets.

A newly designed and very powerful rocket system would have to be tested at the maximum power possible to check on its performance. Much more accurate checking can be done on a long trajectory over the earth than during a flight into space. Nor, on the other hand, need It be overlooked that such a rocket can be used to boost a powerful hydrogen warhead with adequate accuracy to any target in the northern hemisphere, or to reach any point on the globe, other than South Africa from raised in connection with any PRESIDENT VISITING JAPAN ONLY, TAIPEI ANNOUNCES TAIPEI, Formosa, Jan. 22 (AP) The Nationalist Chinese foreign office said today it had been informed President Eisenhower would only visit Japan on his swing through thej'ar East in June.

Of the total possibly 20 would have to be set up on Red Chinese territory to make the prohibition effective. Thus, if the nuclear talks are successful, the issue of Red China's participation might arise well in advance of any more extensive agreement concerned with arms reduction and control. In that event, officials said, the same policy would apply as far as the United States is concerned; that is, at some ad recognition might be the price of Red China's participation. they admit the Russians have and we do not.

It is true that the Atlas can deliver an adequate hydrogen warhead to the important targets in the northern part of the Soviet Union from bases in the northern part of the United States. BUT THE AREA in which to put installations is somewhat limited geographically. The Russians can put their super missile sites anywhere in the vast extent of the Soviet Union and can conceal them with ease. If the larger missile costs a little mdre, it is nothing compared to the. cost to which the United States must go to harden its missile sites.

The hardening costs more than the missile. The combined i Continued on Page 8, Col. 3. THE LINK BETWEEN Red China and disarmament was brought to the fore yesterday by statements in Peiping and Domeitie 1 Importi CARL Wr LUYTIES, INC. 5 2753 la Solla St.
