Thus the President put under one roof the responsibility for the space-engine program, which lags two to five years behind the Soviet Union's. Von Braun & Co. will have responsibility for developing the interim Saturn program and possibly NASA's longer-range F-1 Rocketdyne single-chamber engine of 1,500,000 Ibs. thrust, and beyond that, the giant Nova with 6,000,000 Ibs. of thrust. The U.S., said Ike at his Augusta press conference, would spend on the civilian space effort next year "something more" than the current $500 million a year...
Readymade Model. The U.S. does not have to put the space program under military command to get going. But the fact stands that civilians now in command of vital elements of the space program, notably NASA Administrator T. Keith Glennan and Pentagon Research Director York, do not have experience in the tough kind of getting-things-done that the occasion demands. One way to resolve the space tangle once and for all would be to set up a unified, civilian-military space organization similar to the World War II Manhattan District in which scientists such as Dr. Robert Oppenheimer developed...
Ardent Amateurs. If Stevenson is content to wait, legions of his admirers are willing to put their votes-and their campaign money-into cold storage, and wait too. "His followers woo him," says a top Utah politician. "He doesn't woo his followers. You can't say that about any of the others." This complicates the task of the active candidates both in primaries and in backroom maneuvering, and increases the possibility of a stalemated convention. Stevenson could easily end the strain by endorsing another candidate, but he has not, and in that state of affairs his followers...
Once as solidly entrenched as a Deep South Democratic machine, Michigan's Republican Party has not won an important state election in seven years. Principal reason: G.O.P. liberals and Old Guard-ists, after mauling each other, are too beat to put up much of a fight against the smoothly functioning Democratic Party of six-times Governor G. Mennen ("Soapy") Williams and the United Auto Workers' Walter Reuther. Last week word leaked out that the old Republican feud had erupted into a name-calling, table-thumping session starring Postmaster General Arthur E. Summerfield for the Old Guard and Henry...
Target: Moscow. Put more simply, De Gaulle's determination to delay the summit centers largely around the conflict that today dominates all of French thinking: the five-year-old Algerian war. He wants the summit to wait until the U.N. General Assembly gets around to its annual debate on Algeria, a debate that last year came within a hairbreadth of ending in U.N. censure of France. But he is not, as some critics supposed, primarily trying to blackmail the U.S. and Britain into supporting France in the U.N. His real target is Moscow...
