Europeans Reveal Plans To Enter Space Race
CAPE CANAVERAL — (UPI) — Europe has served notice by way of a pair of surprise emissaries to "Spaceport U.S.A." that it will start firing rockets next year in a bid to become the world's third space-launching power.
It could mean that Europeanbuilt and launched satellites weighing as much as one ton will be orbiting the earth alongside U.S. and Soviet moonlets by 1966.
ROBERT HUME and British Air Commodore F. W. Thompson of the De Havilland Co. revealed yesterday that the British-built Blue Streak rocket, the booster for the European team's forthcoming space efforts, will be launched for the first time in 1964.
Hume and Thompson gained an unexpected audience—about 600 of America's top scientists and engineers, attending the three-day space flight testing conference of the American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics (AIAA).
THE DELEGATES were centering their attention on America's own big manned spaceflight programs when Thompson and Hume were invited to fill in for a paper that was not presented.
Hume said a firing center will be completed at Woomera, Australia, this year.
The Blue Streak, a cancelled military rocket rescued from oblivion to serve as the booster for the European space project, will be fired on its first up-and-down shots over the 1,250-mile Woomera Range starting in 1964. Hume said.
The Blue Streak later will be fitted with a French-built second stage, a third stage constructed by West Germany and Italian-made satellites. The result is expected to get off the pad in three years.
U. S. rockets have sent satellites built by Canada and designed by Great Britain into orbit. But only America and Russia have built satellite-launching rockets.

Songs in the style and language of the Russian people will be presented here tonight by the Yale Russian Chorus.
The group of 30 Yale University students and faculty members will sing a capella Russian folk, liturgical, Cossack and military songs at 8 p.m. in Hoch Auditorium.
Tickets are $1 at the door.
Russian Chorus To Perform Tonight
The members of the chorus will speak at 4:30 this afternoon in the Kansas Union.
Denis Mickiewicz, an American citizen of Latvian origin, founded the chorus in 1954.
They have taken part in summer
cultural exchanges in Europe and the Soviet Union each year since 1959. They traveled in Russia, however, as tourists instead of in a formal exchange.
The group stopped in public places singing Russian and American folk songs and conversing with their audiences in Russian.
Two thirds of the chorus is proficient in the Russian language and others are fluent in Spanish, French, Dutch, German, and Swedish.

"Could it be that I've got Spring Fever?"
There's a pretty good chance that you do Jake. And you know, besides "turning a young man's fancy..." spring also brings on a change of wardrobe. That's right, it's time to shake out the bermudas, short sleeved shirts and summer suits. Bring them down to New York Cleaners and we'll have them looking "spring fresh" for that special someone.
