Soviet Satellite May Carry Man
WASHINGTON — (UPI) — Sen.
Henry M. Jackson (D-Wash) says
he has reliable information that the
Soviet "spaceship" now circling the
earth may carry a human being.
Jackson, a member of the Senate Armed Services Committee told the Senate yesterday there is "growing reason to suspect that a man may be sitting in the Soviet spaceship" despite Russian disclaimers.
"The Soviets may very shortly attempt to return this man — alive — to earth," he told his Senate colleagues.
Jackson told a reporter later that his statement was based on "reliable information." He said it was on the basis of similar information that he predicted the launching of the Soviet "spaceship" more than two weeks ago.
"Nothing is certain until it happens," he said, "but the evidence is good. I'll stand on my statement."
Scientists at the Standard Oil of Ohio research laboratory at Cleveland said they believed a rocket had been fired from the Soviet space vehicle.
A laboratory spokesman said the spaceship was 20 minutes late in making its orbit this morning, and that the space tracking station in Bedford, Mass., reported "something had happened to the ship." This could have been the firing of a rocket by a signal from the ground, he said.
The Russians said at the time of the launching Sunday that the space- ship contained only a dummy pilot.
Soviets Claim Nixon Sent Spies to USSR
MOSCOW—(UPI)—The Soviet newspaper Red Star said today that when Vice President Richard M. Nixon visited the Soviet Union last year he "studied the possibility of espionage operations against this country."
"Nixon shook hands with Soviet people, pledged his love and friendship for the Soviet people, and at the same time looked where his spies could play dirty tricks in the Soviet Union," the newspaper said.
"Nixon thinks it is quite normal to pay a visit to Moscow, or to play host to Nikita Khrushchev in his country while sending air pirates into the Soviet Union." Red Star said.

I will always look back upon my years at KU as great, satisfying and happy years."
The regents met yesterday and today.
During the meeting the regents appointed Calder M. Pickett, associate professor of journalism, as acting dean of the School of Journalism Burton W. Marvin, present dean of
