The Palladium-Item and Sun-Telegram, Richmond, IncL, Thursday, Apr. 13, 1961 News Of Soviet Space Feat Races Through World Capitals; Red Technology Lauded There Is No Pardon Of Eichmann, Says Prosecutor LONDON (UPI) News of Russian's manned space launching spread through the capitals of the world Wednesday with a speed nearly matching that of astro naut Yuri Gagarin himself and almost everywhere brought excited praise for Soviet technology. Ironically, one of the most skeptical comments came from a Russian delegate at a symposium on space research in Florence, Italy, who seemed reluctant to be lieve Gagarin actually had made it. "Humph, we'll see," the Russian told surprised reporters. But in Manchester, England, Bernard Lovell, director of Britain's giant Jodrell Bank radio-telescope observatory, said flatly: "This is the greatest scientific achievement in the history of rmyi." In the light of it, he said, American chances of putting a man on Russian Astronaut Returns From Orbit Circles Globe In 89 Minutes; West Is Taunted To Catch Up By Preston Grover MOSCOW (AP) A Soviet astronaut's orbit around the earth at five miles a second sent humanity across the frontier of space Wednesday and left the Soviet Union challenging the West to try to catch up.

The pioneer astronaut, Maj. Yuri Alekseyevich Gagarin, 27, plumbed the cosmos for an hour and a half, sending back messages of reassurance as he passed into the realm of weightlessness. Was Another Space Man Lost By Soviets Last Week? the moon before Russia now are "negligible." Kennth Gatland, vice president of the British Interplanetary society, said in London "that "one expects that the next major achievement will be a manned flight around the moon and back." The prediction was echoed on the continent where Norwegian space expert Erik Tandberg declared: "The next step to be expected by the Russians will naturally be the launching of a manned space ship to the moon." In Paris, Paul Couderc, who heads the French observatory's skymapping service, called it "an exploit comparable to Lindbergh carried to the sixth power." Red Capitals Joyful The Soviet announcement caused a stir in capitals of Communist East Europe. Polish radio and Pap, the official news agency, treated it with bulletin-type enthusiasm unusual for the Communist press. East German Communist Chief of State Walter Ulbrecht sent a congratulatory telegram to Premier Nikita S.

Khrushchev declaring the launching surpassed in historic importance Columbus discovery of America. Latin American countries also buzzed with a sense of historic importance over the launching, particularly Cuba where newspapers treated it with huge headlines acclaiming "a great triumph of Soviet science." The Communist daily Hoy had its front page filled with details, His only display of animation came before the trial's second day began. He exchanged a few words with his German defense counsel, Robert Servatius, through a private microphone. Servatius is challenging Israel's right to try Eichmann former chief of the Jewish affairs section of the Nazi Gestapo for "crimes against the Jewish people and crimes against humanity." Says Law Invalid The German lawyer claims that Israeli war crimes law is invalid because it was passed in 1950 after the crime was committed. He says Eichmann was only an instrument of his Nazi masters dragged into the crime and, in any event, it was committed in Europe and not Israel.

"If we do not try Eichmann," Hausner retorted in his argument before the three-judge court, "it is quite possible he will not be tried at all, and a crime without precedent would not be punished. "Men who are poisonous, who are assassins, may be exterminated wherever and whenever they are caught." Thus Hausner defended this country's right to try the man its agents hunted for 15 years as the master architect behind Nazi Ger- For Crimes many's extermination of an esti mated six million Jews. Cites Court Rulings Hausner listed court rulings in Germany, Italy, the Netherlands. Switzerland, the United France, Czechoslovakia and Brazil dealing with the "law of terri toriality" and establishing the right of nations to prosecute for eign citizens for offenses commit ted outside their own borders. Hausner did not complete his reply to Servatius challenge.

He asked for another hour to sum up his plea Friday. Servatius will present a rebuttal. Chief Justice Moshe Landau, president of the three-judge court. asked the German lawyer to give a concise answer and berva- tius said he could do it in half an hour. The trial is in recess Thursday, a new national holiday of "remembrance of the holocaust and heroism." Holocaust is the word Israel uses to characterize the Nazi extermination of more than half of Europe's Jews during World War 2.

John Dykstra New Ford Co. President DETROIT (AP) John Dykstra Wednesday was named president of Ford Motor company. Dykstra, who has been vice president in charge of manufac turing at Ford, succeeds Henry brd who took over temporar ily after Robert McNamara resigned to become secretary of defense. Ford will continue as chairman and chief executive officer of the company founded by his grand father. Dykstra, a native of Steins, Hol land, will be 63 years old on Sunday.

He is a former executive of the old Hudson Motor Car company and former manufacturing manager for Oldsmobile division of General Motors. He has been with Ford since March, 1947. Henry Ford II stepped down as president last Nov. 9 in favor of McNamara. That shift lasted only one month before President Ken nedy summoned McNamara to Washington.

Ford officially resumed his dual role of president and chairman on Jan. 3. At that time, he said the move was temporary because he felt the job should be divided. U.S. Still Lags In Education, Says Rep.

Bayh GARY, Ind. (AP) The United States still isn't matching the Communists in training its young sters, a Democratic state legisla tor said Wednesday night Rep. Birch E. Bayh Jr. of Terre Haute, House minority leader, told the Gary Classroom Teachers As sociation this country's youth is "intellectually flabby" and not re ceiving the schooling needed for 'the mental toughness to with stand the siren call of Communist propaganda." The Soviet Union trains its dip lomats and overseas delegates like we train our athletes, he said, while the United States "still de pends on luck, political friend ships and financial affluence." Bayh warned both pupils and teachers must raise their standards of performance, adding: Just getting by, just passing, taking snap courses simply to ac cumulate enough credits to be graduated, cannot be accepted.

"Emergency and partly trained teachers who still teach in many of Indiana's schools must be required to meet professional standards or leave the classroom."

NEW YORK (UPI) Did the Russian scientists who brought a spaceman back alive Wednesday lose another cosmonaut fn a rocketship last Friday? It is a question asked in Moscow as well as in the West. The Soviet government is silent.

In Providence, R. visiting Soviet space scientist Dr. Leonid Sedov said the successful flight Wednesday was "the first try we made." He denied there had been any earlier attempts or that these had failed. The statement was echoed in New York by Alexander V. Top-chiev, vice president of the Soviet Academy of Sciences, who declared that the successful manned flight was made "on the first attempt" and was unmarred by any previous failures.

To Give Details Both Topchiev and Sedov said Russia planned to release to the world within the next few days full details on scientific findings made during the flight. But dispatches from the Soviet capital reported speculation that there may have been an attempt made last Friday to send a man aloft and bring him back, and that it failed. On Monday, there were reports in Moscow that the Soviets had scored a space breakthrough. On Tuesday reports that a man-in-space project was under way became firmer.

Plans 3-Man Space Laboratory WASHINGTON (UPI) The director of the National Aeronautics and Space agency (NASA) said Wednesday the U.S. space program "goes far beyond the orbiting of one man into space." NASA Director James E. Webb pointed out that the space agency had revealed previously that it plans to develop a three-man space laboratory which could be used for a manned flight around the moon or orbiting around the earth. However, Webb told a news con ference called to discuss the Russian success in orbiting a man around the earth that the U.S. program is moving along grad ually "until we get complete con fidence in the safety of our equip ment." In testimony before the House Space committee Tuesday, George M.

Low, chief of NASA's manned space flight program, said the Appollo program, which will suc ceed the Mercury program to put a man in space, would concentrate on a three-man space lab oratory. Low said the Appollo program laboratory would be designed to keep three men alive in space for "several weeks." He said the laboratory would be designed to be used for either "a circumlunar flight or orbiting around the earth."

Burns Ditch Likely Site For New Port FORT WAYNE, Ind. (AP) Burns Ditch in Porter County seems the most likely site for Indiana's. Lake Michigan port, the chairman of the Indiana Port Commission said Wednesday.

But James R. Fleming, Fort Wayne newspaper publisher, emphasized the commission will make no final decision until after a public hearing on the site is held in Indianapolis. May 3-4. "We have not yet formally con sidered selection of a site," said Fleming. "After all, that's what the public hearing is for.

Everybody will be given a chance to present his suggestion for a location." The commission and Gov. Matthew E. Welsh toured the Burns Ditch area Monday after the five commission members received their oath of office. May Visit Sites. Fleming indicated the group may visit other lakeshore sites, including Michigan City and the heavily industrial Calumet area, before making its decision.

He said a site probably will be selected within a week after the Indianapolis hearing. The Army Corps of Engineers already has approved Burns Ditch and its adjacent steel mills as a feasible site deserving of an esti mated $35 million in federal aid. But the report has been returned to the district office in Chicago for further study. A faction led by Sen. Paul Douglas, has opposed use of the Burns Ditch area for the $80 million project on grounds it would destroy acres of scenic sand dunes.

U.S. Received No Signals From Red Space Ship FT. MONMOUTH; N. J. (AP)-The Astro Observation center did not receive any radio signals from Russia's satellite containing the first space navigator, a spokesman said Wednesday.

The center, operated by the U.S. Army Signal Engineering laboratories, attempted to monitor radio transmissions from the space ship, the Vostok. Officials said the Soviet spaceman "probably would not be transmitting on this side of the hemisphere. He would be sending only when he was near Russia to conserve the vehicle's electrical energy." The center has been successful in receiving tranmissions from previous American and Russian satellites, the spokesman said. reports that a reporter contacted the press officer for our own Mercury project down at Langley Field, Va.

ru i a i His feat taxed the Soviet Union's supply of superlatives and won the plaudits of scientists everywhere including experts in the United States. And Wednesday night Soviet Premier Khrushchev, who had promised a few weeks ago that the first human flight into space was soon to be realized, declared: "Let the capitalist countries try to catch up." The Tass news agency said Khrushchev talked with Gagarin on the phone, and told him: "You have made yourself immortal." Soviet announcements promised to place the achievement at mankind's disposal. But the tone indicated that the feat with its enormously important military overtones would echo in the political cold war in a toughened Soviet attitude toward world problems. By Soviet account the flight occurred between 9:07 a.m. and 10:55 a.m.

Wednesday. Gagarin already fondly dubbed 'Gaga" by a feverishly excited Soviet public was in the air for one hour and 43 minutes. He was in outer space one hour and 29 minutes, the time it took his five-ton space ship to whip around the earth. That was at a speed, of about 17,000 miles an hour, or six times as fast as man ever flew before. Man's fastest previous speed was 2,905 miles an hour, achieved by the U.

S. X15 rocket plane. "Outstanding Feat" President Kennedy called the feat "an outstanding technical accomplishment." Washington heard expressions of regret that the United States once again lagged behind, but space administration officials unhesitatingly praised Soviet scientists. The Soviet government and Communist party. a statement, promised to "place our achievements and discoveries not at the service of war but at the service of peace and the security of peoples." But then it added: "Let us put an end to the arms race! Let us accomplish universal and complete disarmament under strict international control.

This will constitute a decisive contribution to the sacred cause of safeguarding peace." Since these are the main points of Premier Khrushchev's political propaganda offensive, such talk seemed to reflect a Soviet intention to make the greatest diplomatic- use possible of the space feat Moscow diplomats expressed belief the Russians named the spaceship Vostok or East both to please Asians and to counter the political and cultural prestige associated with the West. Swarthy young Gagarin, husband of a medical student and father of two girls, rocketed to world fame the moment Moscow announced the news. Premier Khrushchev, vacationing at a Black Sea resort, told him his venture "will be remembered down the centuries as an example of courage, gallantry and heroism in the name of service to matt kind." The points of Gagarin's take-off and landing were not announced, but a Soviet scientific writer said the ship was slowed by reverse blasts before settling to earth by parachute. "Practically the only possibility of bringing the space ship back to he wrote, "was by the combined rational use of retro- engines and atmospheric drag." Gagarin traveled around the globe in 89.1 minutes, his minimum distance (perigee) from the earth 110 miles and his maximum (apogee) 188 miles. This, according to the Moscow announcements, was how it was done: Reports All Well Gagarin was rocketed into the air at 9:07 a.m.

and in 15 min utes reported by radio the flight was going well. Less than an hour later he reported: "I am watching the earth. The visibility is good. I hear you well.

Spellbound Soviet radio listeners later heard the tape recordings of some of these messages, marking the first time a human voice has been di rectly heard from outer space. Some odd aspects of Soviet re ports raised questions about the project: whether there had been previous failures, whether other astronauts perished in unsuccess ful attempts.

Soviet authorities say it's not so. The announcement of the ac complishment was no real sur prise. There had been rumors for sev eral days. Long ahead of the time Moscow said the space ship was shot into orbit, the Communist Daily Worker in London reported a successful flight already had taken place. And Wednesday Soviet tipsters mentioned to West ern correspondents that the flight had taken place Friday and that an announcement was imminent.

Tracking stations outside the Soviet bloc had no advance word of the experiment, and none re ported catching the craft while it was in orbit But scientists outside the U.S.S.R. took the an nouncement, for the most part, at face value. Izvestia, the government news paper, broke out blaring red head lines to announce the news, and published an on-the-spot report of Gagarin's flight and his landing at what was called "the prearranged area of the U.S.S.R." Near landing Site Izvestia's on-the-spot account apparently was from the control room near the landing site. "Lights were blinking on the panels," Izvestia reported. "The weather was good sunny.

Planes are already in the air to fly to the spot where Gagarin will land. A message comes. The launching was successful. "Even before the ship goes into orbit apparently, Gagarin was in contact with the control tower. 'I can see the he messages back.

'It is covered with a blue haze. "Gagarin is over South America. 'I feel well, flight is he messages. telephone call! Yuri Gagarin is with us!" Izvestia described the landing as perfect. A helicopter took Gagarin to a nearby town where he received a congratulatory telephone call direct from Khrushchev.

As Gagarin stepped from his ship, Izvestia reported, he still was wearing his sky-blue suit and flier's helmet. "Friends and fellow fliers rushed up to him. One old friend hugged him so hard it looked as though they were fighting. Everybody felt good and gay. "His Gagarin's eyes were beaming as if still reflecting the light of the stars." In Moscow's stores, shop girls reported, Soviet citizens hugged and kissed one another when they heard the news.

Some considered the flight a warning to the United States. Said railroad engineer Nikolai Laguta: "Those Americans who want to attack Cuba, remember this warning. We attacked the cosmos." It was just three years and six months after Soviet scientists sent up the first artificial earth satellite, Sputnik I. They have launched 13 satellites since then. The United States has put up 38 satellites, but these have been smaller than the Soviet ones, indicating less powerful booster rockets than those possessed by the Soviet Union.
