Today's Forecast: Cold and Cloudy VOL 58, No. 41 Sputnik II Yields Orbit Info to U.S. WASHINGTON, Nov. 6 (iP) —Sputnik II was sighted all across the country today, giv ing scientists the information needed for an accurate fix of its orbit around the earth. The Soviet satellite appeared to be tumbling end over end in its furious flight at nearly 18,000 miles an hour. This Caused re newed speculation about the fate of Laika, the little Russian dog, harnessed inside. A late report from Moscow, based on radio signals received from the satellite, said Laika was still alive and in "satisfactory" condition. At that time Sputnik II had been up for about four days. Soviet scientists indicated several days ago that eccentric move ments of the satellite might in time cost the dog's life. Dr. Fred 1 4 : Whipple, director of t: e Smithsonian Astrophysical Observatory at Cambridge, Mass., said the tumbling is indicated by the many reports on the changing brightness of the satellite. Ob servers said sometimes it was as bright as the planet Jupiter and at other times, looked like a rela tively faint star. These changes, Whipple ex plained, would be caused by see ing the satellite broadside and then en'tiwise as it tumbles through space.. Preparations were under way today for a Senate investigaiton of this country's lagging pace in the field of satellites- and mis siles. and Chairman William L. Dawson (D.-Ill.) of the House Government Operations Commit tee said he was considering a similar investigation by his group. Sen. Hubert H. Humphrey (D.- Minn.) accused the Russians of using their satellite successes to "blackmail" the- free world in dis armament negotiations. Sen. Wayne L. Morse*,(D.-Ore.) e -'red the debate in this coun try, saying the best way to halt the threat of Russian aggression is for the United States to dem onstrate to the world "that we are ready to negotiate peace." Today was the first time U.S. observers were able to get a good look at the satellite. They will get another glimpse tomorrow during three predawn passes. Shulman Talk Set for SDX Dinner.
