The successful orbiting of the nuclear device in one of the satellite's gives American scientists a significant lead over the Soviet Union in the race to harness atomic power for space exploration. A Thor-Able-Star rocket blasted off from Cape Canaveral VVednes-slacked in its nose like a three-scoop ice cream cone. Both stages of the 50-ton rocket clicked with drill-like precision and flung the entire package into orbit. Almost immediately, spring devices kicked the payloads apart and they continued to circle the globe on separate paths nearly 600 miles above the earth.

CLEAR SIGNALS Officials reported early today that the atomic battery was functioning and that clear signals were being transmitted by all three packages. This was the first time the triple payload technique was attempted. It raised to 43 the number of U.S. satellites placed in orbit since the first went aloft 41 months ago.

Board Chairman David L.

Cole seemed a bit more optimistic than previously. Asked his view of the situation, he crossed his fingers and said: "With my fingers crossed, I can't be definite but I feel a uuie better tnis morning than yesterday." The board was set up under the Taft-Hartley law as part of the process of moving for an injunc tion, but in its initial efforts it has placed emphasis on trying to ne gotiate a settlement. It had been directed to report to the President Friday but Cole said if by this afternoon "I feel that sufficient progress has been made toward a voluntary settle' ment, I ill ask the President for an extension of time before we have to complete our report." The board was to meet with striking unions in the afternoon. When joint negotiations recessed at 1:30 a.m. today there was no sign of progress toward a settlement and Cole was loath to advance any possibility of delaying the board's return to Washington.

At Kennedy's request they are be ing pulled together in a report being prepared by former Secre tary of State Dean Acheson.

This is Transit 4-A, 175-pound forerunner of the Navy satellite system designed to pro vide ships, planes and submarines with accurate, all-weather navigation. OTHER SATELLITES The other satellites were: A 55-pound sphere nicknamed GREB which carried two detectors to measure X-ray radiation from the sun.

Injun, a 40-pound drum-shaped parcel to measure intense radiation in the Van Allen radiation belts and to report on auroral phenomena such as the northern lights. The instruments were devised by Dr. James Van Allen of the University of Iowa whose ganges on early U.S. satellites discovered the great bands of radiation. The United States thus scored a historic beat over the Soviet Union in sending the first nuclear power unit into space.

QUICK ACTION Added reason for quick action here: This year's temporary ceiling of $293 billion expires at midnight Friday, the end of the fiscal year. Kennedy asked and got from the Senate Wednesday night by voice vote i temporary ceiling of $298 billion. Only about a dozen senators were on hand.

Coyle Satellite Is Built At SUI IOWA CITY (AP)-One of the three satellites hurled into orbit by a triple-header from Cape Canaveral is the "Iowa Injun" built at the State University of Iowa under the direction of Dr. James Van Allen. Van Allen, space scientist for whom the radiation belts around the earth were named, gathered Wednesday night with his aides at the university physics building to man a tracking station one of four set up around the world. Their task was to maintain con lad with the Injun satellite the first of this country's radiation satellites to be directed north of the auroral rones of North Amcri ca.

The auroras are the northern and southern lights. Its purpose was to send back more information about the cause and effect relationships between the radiation zones in space and the auforas in the upper atmosphere. ftiai'ii'vpiiwinrr aM ii'iirwiff'rii'if rinrif iMWniiiii.iMiMi. 5iw Loauown Koaa, Moun chairman of the board; Chtrlrt G.
