We're sure it won't be as well publicized over there as the Little Rock fracas. It took clubs and tear gas to rout the Polish freedom demonstrators. Three have been killed.

Let the Russians explain these riots. The Lord High slipped back into this space Saturday to beat the drums for the Yankees. However, the "Old Pros" met some young ones and the series is all tied 22.

It was one of the most exciting games played and perfect fare for a rainy Sunday afternoon.

Both managers pulled some bad boners. Fred Haney didn't pull his pitcher and Stengel did. But neither was as bad or lacklustre as the announcing of Al Eagles and Penn lost close games.

LONDON UP Soviet scientists who perfected the first earth satellite are far along in studies of a space ship that can visit the moon and return, American scientists reported today in Barcelona, Spain. Moscow newspapers hinted that some more startling development than the satellite was in the works and told readers to watch for "something special" on Nov. 7, 40th anniversary of the coup which put the Bolsheviks in power in 1917. The American statements at the eighth International Astronautical Congress at Barcelona added to the controversy over whether success in launching the satellite meant the Soviet Union had leaped far ahead in perfecting an inter-continental missile -the ultimate weapon.

The Americans said the Soviets already were testing "space volunteers" from among their armed forces for possible flights into space a and said the Russians' ability launch the satellite "with no failures" meant flights to the moon could come in two yearsor sooner. Soviets At Work In Moscow Geophysicist Yevgeni Fedorov, in charge of Russia's upper atmosphere research program, said the Soviets were working on the problem of the return of future satellites to earth with all their apparatus. Such a satellite might prove of immense military value. The satellite itself continued its unchecked orbit around the earth and was reported sighted in a number of places Alaska, Australia, Estonia and Russia itself. Russia meanwhile appealed to radio hams throughout the world to help track the man-made It has now travelled more than twice the distance from the earth to the moon.

In this connection Dr. John P. Hagen, chief of the U.S. satellite project "vanguard" said better tracking facilities in the United States might enable America to announce the exact course of the sphere before the Soviets. However Moscow radio announced today the path of the satellite during today and tomorrow -Boston at 9:56 a.m.
