WASHINGTON (/P)—The charge that President Eisen
hower called despicable—that his administration has misled
the American people about their defensive strength—was
renewed in the Senate yesterday.
It was made again by Sen. Stuart Symington (D.-Mo.),

In a previous public hearing

SAN FRANCISCO (It') -- Cali

In the science of modern communications, the
sky is no longer the limit.
No one is more aware of that than a major com
munications system. That's why we are constantly
exploring and developing new areas of research
far beyond our celestial canopy.
Take "MASER," for instance. This is a wondrous
new device that can noiselessly amplify extremely
weak signals from outer space.
In working to improve and simplify MASER, we
are bringing closer the day of intercontinental
communications via man-made satellites.

MASER devices have many possibilities, including
the tracking of missiles, and increasing the range
of radar and radio telescopes.
This is a typical example of how we use research
—not only to meet today's communications needs,
but to answer tomorrow's. •
