Atlas Satellite Streaks Around The
Earth, Bearing Ike’s Peace Message
By C. YATES McDANIEL
WASHINGTON, OR — America’s
pride of the heavens soared high
around the world Saturday, ready
to send anew a Presidential Yule
| tide message of good will.
Jubilant architects of the four
ton Atlas said earlier it would be
afternoon before they decided
about retriggering their talking
satellite to broadcast tape-recorded
words from President Eisenhower.
The next step, when the scien
tists figure they have enough ini
tial data in hand, will be to erase
the message and send up another
to be released by remote control
as Atlas continues its travels.
Revolution In Communications
This second phase of the pion
eering project promised to point
the way to a revolution in com
munications — mass transmission
of sound and pictures to anywhere
on earth through a satellite net
work.
And in the hours following At
las’ mighty blastoff from its Cape
Canaveral, Fla., launching site
Thursday night, statemen assessed
its boost to U. S. strength in the
great East-West struggle.
Atlas struck another propagan
da blow for this country at 3:15
p.m. Friday when, zipping at 17,
'000 m.p.h. over Cape Canaveral, it
rebroadcast as scheduled a short
Eisenhower message recorded j
Tuesday and carried aloft in the
nose cone.
“■This is the President of the
United States speaking,” came the
dramatic playback of Eisenhower’s
voice through some static and
fading as in the early days of
shortwave.
“Through the marvels of scien
tific advance, my voice is coming
to you from a satellite traveling
in outer space.
“My message is a simple one.
Through this unique means I con
vey to you and to all mankind,
America’s wish for peace on earth
and good will toward men every
where.”
Eisenhower Listens
Eisenhower himself joined re- j
porters in the office of Presidential
| Press Secretary James C. Hager -
| ty, to hear his voice on a Penta
gon-supplied recording of the sig
nal reaching Canaveral.
The President, in high spirits,
fiddled with glasses in one hand
' as he listened intently. One sen
tence came through garbled, “hut
it didn’t hurt the message any,”
Eisenhower said. Hagerty supplied
the full text.
Eisenhower said perhaps tele
vision-in-space would be the
next astounding invention. He
laughed when a newsman sug
gested Presidential news confer
ences might be held that way.
“Where would you people like
to he then? Eisenhower joked
back.
The 85-foot Atlas was not ex
pected to slip back into eyeview
from the continental United States
until Saturday evening.
ARPA scientists indicated they
wanted more precise information
on Atlas’ travels before they try
a new recording. They hoped for
solid 2-hour orbit data, which
would allow accurate predictions
of the satellite’s future path dur
ing its estimated 20-day life.
As of word on Saturday morn
ing, the east-bound Atlas was
rounding the globe every 101
minutes, 14.4 times a day, at
heights from 114 to 928 miles.
Advantage In Berlin
One quick effect of Atlas on the
international scene was to
strengthen the West’s hand in the
coming showdown with Russia
over the future of Berlin.
Top U. S. officials expressed
belief that the spectacular show
of U. S. power in missiles would
well have a sobering effect on
Soviet Premier Khrushchev. They.
loovei for a diplomatic, rather
than a military clash over the
onetime German capital.
Wnst European scientists saw
the launching as a great stride
toward man’s first voyage into
snace. Newspapers there said the
United States had forged ahead of
the Russians. Moscow radio broad
cast the news without comment.
