his campaign to the point of touch
ing off World War HI.
, They declared, however, that the
latest spectacular demonstration of
U. S. power in missiles could well
have a sobering effect on the im
petuous Khrushchev.
Two early moves on the Berlin
dispute are now in prospect:
1. Following up the North At
lantic Pact meeting that ended at
Paris Thursday, the United States,
Britain and France will shortly
send firm notes to the Soviet gov
ernment. These notes will reject Khrush
chev's proposal that the western
powers withdraw from West Berlin
and make it a neutralized "free
city." They may also advise him to
drop the Ailtimatum tone of his
Berlin proposals.
2.. Anastas I. Mikoyan, Khrush-
chev's deputy premier and close
associate, on his visit here early
next month will undoubtedly talk
over a wide range of subjects, in-
eluding Berlin, with President El
senhower and Secretary of State
Dulles.
Mikoyan may want to sound out
the United States about some kind
of a Berlin or German deal no
one here knows what he and
Khrushchev have in mind. In any
case, the hands of the U. S. off i
cials he meets will be strengthened
by the Atlas achievement.
Khrushchev has displayed in the
past a keen awareness of the re
lationship between military power
and diplomacy.
When Russia put up history's
first man made moon little more
than a year ago. he promptly
sought to exploit its apparent ad
vantage over the United States in
the rocketry field. His campaign
became known as sputnik diplo
macy.
In view of this, officials here
said he could be expected to give
weight to the military and diplo
matic implications of the Atlas
haunching
Also, other nations perhaps over
jly impressed with Russia's space
strides may now also be persuaded
to revise their judgments.
Although State Department offi
cials consider it inevitable that the
subject of Berlin will come up in
the Mikoyan talks here they have
no tangible evidence of this from
the Russian side
press Officer Joseph Reap said
yesterday the State Department
has received "not the slightest
word" from Moscow about what
Mikoyan wants to do once he gets
to Washington. The department
announced yesterday that the U. S.
Embassy had been authorized to
grant his request to come here to
see Soviet Ambassador Mikhail A.
Menshikox early next month.

SPACE TALK
Moons
By ALTON BLAKESLEE
Associated Press Science Writer
NEW YORK UP) President
Eisenhower's voice from space is a
dramatic new wrinkle in mankind's
new ability to hear talk from far
beyond the earth. .
Scientists have been listening to
space talk since the first Soviet
satellite went up more than a year
ago. And tomorrow they will record
space talk, and pictures, from satel
lites having profound beneficial ef
fects upon your life.
Until today, satellites like Ex
plorers, Sputniks and Vanguard have
talked back from space in code.
They radioed back pulses and sig
nals meaningful only to scientists
who knew the beeping code.
That talk told of discovery of the
curious Van Allen belt of lethal
radiation around the eamth. That
talk reported how many times satel
lites were being hit by meteors, or
by cosmic rays, and told about the
temperatures on the skin and inside
the satellites. That talk measured
the heart beat of the dog Laika in
Sputnik II.
Modern electronics make it all
easily possible.
Instruments, including special
termometers, inside satellites can
measure the phenomena they are
designed to measure. Inside the
satellite, this information then is
stored on miniature tape recorders
using magnetic tape.
This tape recorder works in prin
ciple just like one in your office or
ome. Flick a switch, and it starts
to play back what it had been told.
You send up a special "command"
signal from earth to activate he
recorder when it is passing over
your receiving station on earth.
Then you record the coded signal
or "talk" and later translate its
meaning.

Earlier in the evening, the Men's
