WASHINGTON WV-Some friendly 'politicians are beginning to be. lieve Vice President Nixon may be traveling too fast too early in his drive for the 1960 Republican presidential nomination. Nixon received boosts last week from former New York Gov.

Thomas E. Dewey's description of him as a "superb" candidate, from Sen. F. Knowland's reported decision not to enter presidential primaries outside California, and from California Gov. Goodwin Knight's apparent plan to avoid a decisive showdown fight with Knowland for the state's nomination for governor.

Nixon is coming to look more and more like the man to beat for the nomination. That may be a satisfying spot in some circumstances. But many politicians contend that the earlier any aspirant arrives at that point, the earlier he becomes a target for political sniping and the more time he gives his enemies to combine against him. In some respects, that is what ter for animals in Manhattan. In London, the National Canine Defense League asked dog-lovers everywhere to observe a minute of silence each day on behalf of Curly.

The organization said it will send a delegation marching on the Soviet Embassy to condemn use of the dog on the artificial moon. The Royal Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals, -said at Liverpool it was being flooded with protest calls. An official said the possibility of Curly's being burned by cosmic rays "are too horrible to contemplate." He said the Soviet Union should human volunteers or undesirables could not be.used helpless In Oslo, the Norwegian Society of Cruelty to Animals called a "meeting to discuss the space dog. The secretary declared "I don't know what we will do, I don't know what we can do, but this is a bad business. Maybe- we can prevent it happening again." While other groups were voicing similar sentiments, Moscow radio reported the dog was still alive and doing fine.

British television stations car-, ried man-in the-street interviews with shocked dog lovers. Some suggested a human volunteer should have been sent instead of the dog.

Russians Report Space-Traveling Dog Is Faring Well in Ha f-Ton Rocket Satellite Ike, Advisers Carefully Studying Significance of Reds' Sputnik II SATELLITE TALK--Dr. John P. Hagen, director of United States satellite program, points to one of solar batteries mounted on six-inch satellite at Naval Research Laboratory in Washington.

A i security advisers are very carefully analyzing the significance of Russia's new satellite, both in terms of rocketry development and scientific advance. Clamor for Speedup The terse statement came amid a renewed congressional clamor for a speed up in the U.S. missile and satellite -program. This included an appeal by Sen-. Kefauver (D-Tenn) that Eisenhower call a special session of Congress and ask it to establish a new cabinet post of secretary of science.

But Mrs. Anne Wheaton, associate White House press secretary, told reporters: "So far as I know there 'are no for a special session of Congress."

Dr. Whipple'said it would take approximately four or five days for a rocket to reach the moon, approximately miles away.

So such a rocket would be presumably under way if Nov. 7 were the target date, he said. Dr. Whipple said it would take an approximate 40 per cent increase in power over that used for Sputnik II to send a rocket to the moon. There is a lunar eclipse Nov.

The White House reference to scientific significance of satellite deep interest in the fact that the new Sputnik is. carrying a dog. As she did yesterday, Mrs.

J.

He said the problem would be to trigger the capsule off with earth at a speed of 17,840 miles an! hour. Signals from two radios in the satellite are sending scientific data about the dog's reactions and space conditions, the Russians said.

Monitors picked up a "beep, beep" on one and a hissing sound from another.

"We already are in a presure program," McElroy told reporters.

"Our program is in very good shape right now." Pentagon officials noted that both McElroy and President Eisenhower already have said that U. S. missile-satellite programs are being given the highest priority, regardlsss of Soviet accomplishments. Dr. Hagen, director of Project Vanguard, the U.S.

It is vital also, they said, that, before any humans venture into space more is known about the effect of "free falling" over a prolonged period on the circulatory and digestive system.
