Steel Shortage Hits Space Plans
MIAMI BEACH, Fla. — (UPI)—Space chief T. Keith Glennan said today that the T. steel strike has set back work on a rocket with which the United States hopes to match some of Russia's early space feats.
He referred to the Vega, a three-stage rocket based on the Atlas missile which he said will be able to put 4,800 pounds into orbit or send 1,000 pounds deep into space beyond the moon.
"This program, unfortunately, is now being set back by the shortages resulting from the steel strike." Glennan said.

"As the situation stands now," he said, "it is reasonably certain that in early 1961 the Vega will be the first of our space-vehicle systems capable of matching the performance demonstrated by the Russians more than a year ago."
In the meantime, he continued, "I have no doubt that the Russians will be improving their systems."
Glennan, head of the National Aeronautics and Space Agency (NASA), addressed the American Bankers Association. He told the bankers that "ours is an imaginative, hard-hitting program" and that "we do not intend for long to run second in any phase of space exploration."
Glennan said the U.S. space program is lagging behind Russia's because the most powerful available American rocket has only about half the thrust of Soviet first-stage boosters.
And this rocket, the Atlas, did not become available to NASA until two years after Sputnik I.
"Thus we are two years late already," Glennan said, "and we must for a long time to come—perhaps for as long as three or four years—continue to use the Atlas or its counterpart, the Titan, as the basic booster for our space vehicle systems."
In addition to the Vega, in the field of larger American rockets, NASA is developing Centaur, which will be able to lift twice as heavy a load as Vega, and the Saturn.
By United Press International Light snows heralded approaching winter through Upper New York State and New England today, but the weather bureau said a warm front would take the chill off the Midwest cold snap.

The Saturn, ultimately to be able to boost more than 200,000 pounds into orbit, will not be available until 1964-65. he said. Glennan did not mention the Nova, a powerful advanced booster now in development. NASA spokesmen said, however, that Nova is still in the space picture.
By United Press International
The light snows were scattered through Maine, Vermont and New Hampshire last night but were expected to be restricted to the New England mountain areas during the day.
The weatherman said the Midwest unseasonal sub-freezing temperatures would be erased as warmer air flowed through the Great Lakes region, the Ohio Valley and the Upper Mississippi Valley.
