A spokesman for the Soviet Academy of Sciences and the Committee for Cultural Relations with Foreign Countries made this response to questions about yes terday's unofficial reports that a Soviet rocket shot 186 miles up shortly after Jan. 1 and that the man aboard parachuted success fully. A Soviet Foreign Office spokes man. questioned along similar lines by Western co-respondents, said he was unable to say any thing about the accounts pub lished abroad. Asked if the So viet government would have an announcement on the subject, the spokesman said so far as he knew there was no communique in sight. A Moscow radio broadcast heard in London quoted the offi cial Soviet news agency Tass as saying it knew nothing of a manned rocket flight. It quoted the agency's deputy director as saying it was "completely incom prehensible" to him +.lw Western news agencies had obtained such a report. In Washington, the White House said it is not known there if the story is true or not. A Moscow radio broadcast mon itored in the West Sunday said, "There is na actual flight by a man in a cosmic ship today." The home service boardcast was a fictional account of the launching of a' manned satellite into orbit and a radio conversation between the passenger and ground station.
