WASHINGTON, Nov.

7 Uft-President Elsenhower, acknowledging that surging Russian power could "damage us seriously" if war came, Thursday night named a scientific chief of staff to rush development of the weapons of the future. He appointed Dr. James R. Killian, president of the world famous Massachusetts Institute of Technology, to take command. Killian, 55-year-old scientist and administrator with a record of government service, was empowered to crack down on any interservice rivalry, to prevent needless delays and to give high priority to certain hush-hush projects the President only hinted at.

7 What is the new super-fuel had solved the problem of bringing a missile down to earth once it had been shot into outer space. Eisenhower referred here to a nose cone of an experimental missile. It had been disclosed Aug. 13 that the Army fired a missile 400 miles into the sky a week previously, and had recovered the cone without its being de stroyed by friction heat on the way back through the atmosphere. The whole speech was frankly designed to re assure Americans in the face of Russian satellite and missile progress, but Russ Witching I Hour Passes Sans Surprise LONDON, Nov.

7 IB-Midnight passed in Moscow without any sensational announcement to climax the 40th anniversary celebration of the Russian Red Re volt. There was no rocket to the moon, no new satellite, no statement on plans to bring down spacedog Laika. Moscow Radio did say a Soviet Antarctic expedition has hoisted the Soviet flag at new scientific station near the South Pole. One Killed, 100 Hurt In Tornado ORANGE, Nov. 7 UB-A tornado slashed across this Gulf coast area Thursday night, killing one person and injuring about 100.

The twister hit four towns. The dead man was an un identified Negro, whose body was recovered from a wrecked home in the Riverside housing project, Police Chief Raymond Sanders said he feared other dead would be recovered from the Riverside area. One report, attributed to the St. Mary's Hospital in Port Arthur said 100 injured had been taken there. However, the emergency room at the hospital said shortly before midnight that only about 35 persons had been treated, mostly for minor injuries.

Twenty injured were taken to a hospital in Orange and officials said they could not estimate how many persons were injured. At least 100 homes were dam aged or destroyed in Groves and an undetermined number here. The tornado struck during heavy rain storm. Telephone and electric lines were knocked down, hampering the work of rescue crews. Four hours after the disaster only frag mentary details of the disaster were available.

speed up, but some of them said they found the President's speech not too reassuring. Republicans, on the other hand, praised the speech. One of them, Sen. Javits (R-NY), said: that powered Russia's second sputnik? The Russians aren't telling and U. S.

scientists can only guess. But whatever it is, industry experts say, it's a reasonably safe bet that we already have it. Eisenhower also included some grim appraisals of Russian power. McFarland Keeps Aide On Staff PHOENIX, Nov. 7 UPV-Gov.

Mc Farland announced Thursday that he will retain on his office staff a Highway Patrol aide, who recently was ordered off the patrol payroll by the Merit System Council. In a brief prepared statement, the governor said Larry Marton, 33-year-old former Mesa newspaperman and schoolteacher, was being "transferred to the office staff where he will continue with his duties." The statement made no mention of where Marton's salary will come from. The governor was not available for comment Presumably, Marton will be paid out of the governor's general office operation expenses. The Merit System Council had ordered Marton dismissed from the payroll because he was hired contrary to patrol regulations. Marton was not a member of the patrol at the time of his appointment and did not take the merit system test required of active patrolmen.

The controversy over his status arose after it was learned Marton had done publicity work for the governor. McFarland, in answer ing questions of newsmen, said he paid out of his own pocket for materials used in Marton's publicity work. to expect. The big puzzlers for Western military men in the massive march in Red Square were two huge guns of strange design. Moscow radio talked of "a new type of artillery based on the principle of jet propulsion," but there was no explanation.

There were many tactical weap ons capable of delivering atomic warheads. The biggest rockets were 70 to 75-footers in the 400-500-mile range. With most leaders of the Com munist, world looking on, Defense Minister Marshal Rodion Y. Mai- inovsky assailed the United States in the major speech of the day. He declared the Soviet people "ardently desire peace" but that the Soviet armed forces are capable of crushing any He accused "aggressive circles in the U.S.A." of preventing disarmament and "threatening mankind with the dangers of atomic war." Malinovsky stood atop the Lenin- Stalin tomb where Marshal Georgi K.

Zhukov the man he replaced in the Defense Ministry two weeks ago had taken the salute and reviewed the anniversary military parade for five years. Zhukov was nowhere in sight. Communist Party Secretary Nikita Khrushchev, Premier Niko lai Bulganin, President Klementi Voroshilov, other Soviet leaders and such visiting big-wigs of other Communist lands as Mao Tze-tung of China also stood atop the tomb. The flight of new Soviet planes was called off by bad weather although Soviet meteorologists have boasted they could produce sunshine by cloud seeding. Rehearsals had shown several new turboprop transports but no new military types.

The display of new military weapons on this jubilee 40th anniversary of the Bolshevik revolution obviously was aimed to im press U. S. NATO allies in Europe. The new weapons apparently for tactical or troop support rather than strategic use give Soviet military forces greater mobility on the ground and more rocket power in the air. Topers Ahoy, Vodka You Think Of This? HARTFORD, Nov.

7 V- A Bardstown, distillery Thursday registered a new vodka trade mark with the Secretary of State office. It's called: This World." "Sputnik Out of day the animal was said to be still alive. U. S. sky observers redoubled their vigilance on the chance that the Russians might try for some thing spectacular Thursday in honor of the 40th anniversary of the Bolshevik Revolution.

The two favorite pieces of spec ulation were: 1. That an attempt might be made to eject from the satellite the container carrying Laika. It would be a' great feat to bring the animal back to earth alive for scientific study. 2. That the Russians might take a shot at the moon.

Soviet scien tists have said a rocket to the moon is-one of the projects they nave in the works. "We frankly recognize," are building up types of power that could, if we were attacked, damage us seriously. "This is because no possibly be airtight." if See Page 8C for the To offset that, the President added the assurance that "as of today the over-all military strength of the free world is distinctly Communist world." Also, he said that America has not been idly stand ing by while the Russians piled up their military-scientific gains. "This is the Eisenhower of the crusade in Europe. The President touched all the bases.

This is a crisis. Cooperation with our allies is indispensable to the success of the free world. Sacrifice will be called for from all our people. The President spoke, with confidence that we will willingly make it Our purpose is clear and our ac tion must be decisive." Sen, Lyndon Johnson of Texas, Democratic leader whose preparedness subcommittee is about to launch an investigation or the administration's satellite-missile program, said: "I had hoped that the President would stress what we need to do as well as what we have done, But I am happy that he has noted the necessity for a 'high sense of Sen. McClellan (D-Ark): "The speech was intended to be reassuring but in my view it was not altogether convincing." McClellan said it is clear that "we are behind we haven't done our best.

The Russians are ahead in some areas and we need both bold thinking and bold action to catch up." For this. McClellan said, the President can be assured of "bi partisan support for any real effective program." Rep. Hays (D-Ohio): "It's the same old story appoint a commit tee to study the problem and hope the problem will go away. Com paring a B52 or B58 with a guided missile is like comparing a horse and buggy to a modern car. It does sound, though, like Sputnik has shocked the President awake and maybe he will stay Lebanon Troops Combat Terror BEIRUT, Nov.

Among the exotic new "zip" fuels now in limited production is one that can blast an object the size of a beer can 239,000 miles to the moon. Still in the planning stage are fuels that will derive their energy from the splitting or joining of atomic particles or from the re-combining of shattered molecules Simplest type of rocket fuel In use today is a special kind of kerosene that uses liquid oxygen as a burning or oxidizing agent. At altitudes above 20 miles there is not enough oxygen in the atmosphere to burn the fuel so the missile must carry its own supply. Some industry scientists think kerosene and oxygen may have powered Russia's orbiting dog house on its Initial flight into cosmic space.

Rocket Fuel Stocks Soar On Market NEW YORK, Nov. 7 Wl Rocket fuel stocks soared Thursday while the rest of the stock market, helped by the gains in the fuel issues, ended modestly higher.

Reports Russia may have used a new liquid fuel to launch Sputnik II sent a strong buying demand into stocks of American companies linked with rocket propulsion work. Foote Minerals ended $5.87 higher at $43.50, U.S. Borax jumped $4.24, at $51.62 and Olin Mathieson added $3.87 at $43.37. Trading in Olin Mathieson was suspended for 30 minutes at one time when specialists in the stock were flooded with orders. Aircrafts, metals and alumi num stocks also were in de mand.

How Is Laika? Sputnik WASHINGTON, Nov. 7 tfV-Ex- perts at the Smithsonian Astro- physical Observatory said Thurs day they do not believe the Soviet dog-carrying satellite is break ing up. There was a report Wednesday from a Chicago moonwatch team that two objects were observed, when Sputnik II passed near the midwest city. But two top scientists of the Smithsonian Observatory Dr. Fred L.

Whipple, director, and Dr. J. Allen Hynek, associate director, said at Cambridge, there are no definite signs yet that the satellite is coming apart.

Moscow reports indicated an announcement on the fate of the dog might be expected Friday. They were accompanied by speculation that Soviet scientists would attempt to eject the dog from the space vehicle and bring it back to earth by parachute.

For the first time since Sputnik II was fired into space Saturday night the Russians, in daily reports on the satellite, did not report on Laika's condition. Wednes perimental missile a nose cone. "It has been hundreds of miles to outer space and back. Here it is, completely intact." With all this stress on what must be done, and in the face of criticism that, the administration has been stingy with its defense spending, Eisenhower refused to accept as valid all the spending demands made upon him.
