Ike Inspects Canaveral
To Check US Progress
CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. (/P)—President Eisenhower in
spected the Cape Canaveral missile test center yesterday to
get a first-hand look at what the United States is doing in
the rocket and space race.
The President made the tour at the height of a controversy
now boiling in Congress over the
relative strength of the United
I States and the Soviet Union. After
lit was over he said 'it was a
(very worthwhile trip."
Wearing a white plastic safety
ihelmet, Eisenhower probed for 3
hours among many of the installa
tions on this isolated spot of land
'jutting into the Atlantic. He saw
military missiles of awesome pow
er and giant lockets poised to leap
into space.
Shortly after his big jet air
liner touched down on the cape
landing strip, the President re
ceived an hour-long classified
briefing on missile activity and
progress here. The briefings in
cluded a movie of several rock
et launches, some of them fiery
failures.

merit sat down yesterday in an

at the State Department, a U.S.

succeed in putting together a new,
disarmament package in time for,
East-West talks set for March 15'

Stepinac, Red Foe, Dies
BELGRADE, Yugoslavia (IP)
—Alojzije Cardinal Stepinac,
one of three prelates who have
symbolized Roman Catholic
opposition to communism in
East Europe, died Wednesday
in Krasic, the native village
that was his prison. He was 61.
Authoritative sources said
pneumonia and a heart condition
felled the wiry, strong-featured
spiritual leader of Yugoslavia's
seven million Roman Catholics.
He had been limited in recent
years to the duties of a parish
priest.
His death reduces the College
of Cardinals to 78.
Cardinal Stepinac, suffering
for years from a blood disease,
came down this week with a
cold that parishioners attributed
to his hours of daily prayer in
the unheated, 400-year-old par
ish church. Fatal complications
followed swiftly.
Cardinal Stepinac had been con
fined by President Tito's regime
to Krasic, a wine-growing hamlet
southwest of Zagreb near the
Kupa River, as a paroled prison
er dubbed "a former archbishop"
since December 1951.
He was sent there after serving

Eisenhower returned to Wash
ington at 3 p m He landed at
nearby Andrews Air Force Base,
Md., and quickly boarded a limou
sine for the trip to the White
House.
He told reporters before head
ing back to Washington that "it
was an interesting day and I have
been wanting to come for a long
time. Obviously it is a most high
ly instrumented place" and "cer
tainly the personnel show every
evidence of a high degree of com
petence.
"So, from my viewpoint, it
was a very worthwhile trip and
I hope it has been for you fel
lows."
Eisenhower did not see a mis
sile launching during the tour.
But while he hustled between the
Atlas and the Polaris launching
complexes, a Matador guided mis
sile slipped virtually unnoticed
from the tip of the cape. Air
Force troops training for over
seas duty with the Matador fre

racket.
5 years of a 16-year prison sen

court Oct. 11, 1946, on conviction
of collaborating with the German
Nazi occupiers in World War 11,
a charge he vigorously denied.
"My conscience is clear," he
fold the court over and over
again as spectators laughed and
jeered.
Church bells tolled in Zagreb,
the Croatian capital to mark the
passing of Cardinal Stepinac, the
archbishop of Zagreb.
In Vatican City, Pope John
XXIII recited a morning prayer
for cardinal Stepinac, who was
never able to get to Vatican City
to receive the red hat that was
the symbol of his rank. Eugene
Cardinal Tisserant, French dean
of the College of Cardinals, said:
"Cardinal Stepinac must be listed
among the heroes of the church
for he has suffered so much for
Christ and the Roman Catholic
Church."
