There has been much speculation that the Soviet Union would use the occasion of the anniversary launched its earth satellite and announced it had successfully fired an intercontiental ballistics missile. At the least, Western quarters expect Moscow to use the day to parade an arsenal of missiles and other modern weapons Mao is taking a high powered delegation with him.

The present schedules have resulted in a flood of lax money expected to burgeon to nearly 70 million dollars by the end of June and to 73 million dollars a year later. That is in excess of budgeted expenditures.

The debate is based on a Syrian complaint denied in Ankara that Turkey is massing troops on the border to attack her. Syria has served notice she wants a U.N. inquiry commission to investigate the situation at the border. A Soviet source indicated the Kremlin might support the idea of a "small commission with Hammarskjold." This apparently would combine the Syrian call for an inquiry with 8n accompanying role for Hammarskjold.

The United States was reported in favor of delegating Hammarskjold but has let it be known it does not want to be a sponsor. An informed source said this was because the United States is busy parrying Soviet charges that the Americans are inciting a Middle East war.

It also was reported that a fourth mysterious object may be hurtling through space along with the Red moon and the rocket that launched it. The third object may be the rocket nose cone, but the fourth has not been identified, the National Geographic Society said.
