Around The World
Reports persisted in Moscow today that the Soviets had fired a manned rocket 186 miles into space, but there still was no official confirmation from the Kremlin.
Russians Silent On Mannik
In Washington, the United States has turned thumbs down on either a "summit" meeting or non-aggression pact with Russia unless specific East-West disputes are settled first.
Officials belittled Russia's announcement of a 300,000-man cut in Soviet armed forces, and indicated this country will not accept Moscow's challenge to match it.
At Cape Canaveral, Fla., the Intercontinental Atlas Missile, which could be used as America's first manned space rocket, probably will be given its fourth flight test tomorrow, depending on a break in bad weather.
They said Russia, if the cuts are real, is trimming its military manpower because of increasing destructive power in modern weapons without losing any of its striking potential.
Rumors circulating in Western diplomatic quarters in the Soviet capital said the man aboard the rocket missile parachuted back to earth. There was no hint whether he survived.
The 90-foot Atlas is expected to carry new components that will put it to a stiffer test than when it was fired successfully for the first time Dec. 17 after two failures.
The U. S. Joint Chiefs of Staff received a report of Russia's manned missile yesterday several hours before it was disclosed publicly, informed sources said.
Soviet Premier Nikolai Bulganin last month called for a chiefs-of-state conference, a non-aggression pact between the NATO and the Communist Warsaw Pact, a nuclear-free zone in central Europe and an immediate halt to nuclear testing.
The report was forwarded by the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) at the Pentagon, but it was not known what value the CIA placed on the report, the informants said.
Persistence of the unconfirmed reports led to belief that the experimental firing might have miscued and that the man in the missile did not survive. That might explain Soviet reluctance to announce such a feat.
Also in the capital city, Lt. Gen. James M. Gavin said there is still a "50-50 chance" he won't quit his job of leading the Army's fight to match Russia's missile might. Yesterday it was reported that he told Senate investigators he decided to retire after being informed he was

In London, Prime Minister Harold Macmillan left today on a six week Commonwealth tour despite a staggering cabinet blowup over the treasury's demand for cuts in welfare state socialism.
Chancellor of the Exchequer Peter Thorneycroft resigned with two treasury ministers because Mr. Macmillan would not sanction a 140 million dollar cut in the new fiscal year's budget. The cut would have been at the expense of Britain's cradle-to-grave welfare system.

A Campus-to-Career Case History
John Reiter (right) discusses the route of signals from the wave guide through the IF stages of a microwave receiver.
"This was the kind of challenge I was looking for"
Here's what John A. Reiter, Jr., B.S. in Electronics, Arizona State College, '54, says about the biggest project so far in his Bell System career.
"This was the kind of challenge I was looking for—a chance to assist in planning a microwave radio relay system between Phoenix and Flagstaff, Arizona. Five intermediate relay stations would be needed, and I began by planning the tower locations on 'line of sight' paths after a study of topographical maps. Then I made field studies using altimeter measurements, and conducted path-loss tests to determine how high each tower should be. This was the trickiest part of the job. It called for detecting the presence of reflecting surfaces along the
"Not the least part of the job was estimating the cost of each of the five relay stations. All told, the system will cost more than $500,000. When construction is finished in December of this year, I'll be responsible for technical considerations in connecting the radio relay and telephone carrier equipment.
"This assignment is an example of the challenges a technical man can find in the telephone company. You take the job from start to finish-from basic field studies to the final adjustments-with full responsibility.To technical men who want to get ahead, that's the ultimate in responsibility."
