...Lunik III rounded the moon and this week started its slow turn back toward the earth, just as the Russians said it would...
...Russian space vehicle skimmed past the moon at a distance of 4,300 miles, then moved on into space, gradually slowing down. As it passed. Lunik III was deflected by the moon's gravity, which made it veer in the moon's direction, like a child swinging on a gatepost. But the tug was not enough to make it curve sharply and start right back. Instead, it swung out 67,000 miles beyond the moon's orbit (and 292,000 miles from the earth); then it started slowly back. By this time the moon, traveling...

If the HAA approves the plan, Birge and Frank will arrange the details this spring...
...packed with gadgetry that is just as good, perhaps better. The Russians' guidance systems perform well, their radios work fine. So do their instruments, which have made important scientific discoveries deep in space, such as proof by Lunik II that the moon has no magnetic field. If Lunik III should round the moon and bring back pictures, or even nonpictorial data, about the mysterious far side, the U.S. would have to admit that the Russians are far ahead, not only in power or in sophistication of instruments, but in all the departments of space exploration...
