Reds May Want

By JOHN M. HIGHTOWER
WASHINGTON, UP)—Top U. S.
officials are looking into the pos
sibility that Russia wants a
breathing spelt in the cold war
badly enough to make some lim
ited disarmament. agreements.
President Eisenhower and Sec
retary of State Dulles are work
ing on a prompt reply to Premier
Bulganin’s note of last Sunday
about summit conference issues.
They intend, to keep the way
open for a possible meeting.
One aim reportedly is to ex
plore all the possibilities of agree
ment which may be desired by
Russia and acceptable to the
West—in spit^ of the lack of en
couragement which Eisenhower
found in the latest message from
Moscow.
Eisenhower conferred for an
hour with Dulles and Ambassador
Llewellyn Thompson, the iU. S.
envoy to Moscow who came home
ten days ago for consultation.
Earlier the President told a
news conference that he and his
advisers “are working very hard
... to see whether there is any
possible approach that we can
make fto Russia) that will be ap
pealing and which might lead—
after proper preparation — to
some kind of meeting.”

Ted Williams, 40 Year Old
Outfielder, Paid $125,000
For 1958 Baseball Season
BOSTON, —Boston Red Sox
slugger Ted Williams today signed
a one-year contract for a reported
$125,000 to continue his role as
■baseball’s highest paid player.
The 39-year-old outfielder ag
reed to terms for his 17th season
with the Red Sox in a friendly
meeting with general manager
Joe Cronin.
As usual, neither William^ nor
Cronin would disclose the amount
Ted will be paid for the season.
However, best guesses were that
he received a $25,000 boost over
last year.
Williams is recognized gener
ally as the highest paid player in
baseball history. Stan Musial re- j
cently signed for a reported !
$100,000 with the St- Louis Car
dinals. Babe Ruth’s top pay with
the New York Yankees was $80,
000—without today’s big tax bite.
Williams, who will be 40 in
August, amazed even his most
ardent admirers in 1957 when he
became the oldest player ever to
win a batting title. He topped
both leagues with a .388 average.
The U.S. Weather Service was
established on Feb. 9, 1870.

Navy Studying Vanguard Data
Seeking Cause of Rocket Failure
WASHINGTON, (ff)—'The Navy,
studying the remains of two Van
guard rockets that failed, was un
certain today whether it could
orbit a fully instrumented earth
satellite on schedule next month.
Instead, Navy spokesmen were
talking about doing it sometime
within the International Geo
physical Year. That is their basic
commitment. The IGY, a world
wide cooperative research effort,
will end on Dec. 31.
Meanwhile, it was learned the
Air Force has told the Defense
Department it believes it could
launch a thousand-pound space
vehicle by next June. The Air
Force would use its Thor Inter
mediate Range Ballistic Missile
for such a launching.
Earlier this week, Army scient
ists — who have launched this
country’s only successful orbit
ing earth satellite—were reported
proposing to send aloft an instru- |
ment-iaden vehicle weighing up
to 700 pounds. This big satellite,
proposed for firing before the end
of the year, would be intended to
gather data for building a space
station.
Project Vanguard headquarters
at the Naval Research Laboratory
gave a preliminary explanation of
the Navy’s second failure.
It said the 72-foot 11-ton Van
guard, carrying a six-inch test
satellite, took off “normally”
ifrom Cape Canaveral. For 57
! seconds everything was fine. But
then—
“Between the 57th and 60th sec - J
onds after takeoff, small irregu- >
larities occurred in the first-stage j
engine control system. After the'
60 th second a failure in the con- ,
trol system caused the engine to
deflect far to the right, and the
resultant abnormally high forces
caused the rocket to break in the j
middle.
The test range safety officer
then pushed a button and the
whole rocket was destroyed.
Some parts fell into the Atlantic
Ocean but others dropped to the
grassy shore.
Salvaged particles are now
j being studied, along with movies
and instrument readings, to get a
more accurate idea of what went
wrong with the three-stage ve
hicle.
