...Harry Truman or Dwight Eisenhower-and it offered nothing that seemed likely to lure the Russians from previous stands against disarmament inspections. Despite Kennedy's promise to resume discussions of any one step toward disarmament whenever agreement seemed in sight, the U.S. plan is basically a step-by-step approach requiring international inspection to ensure that each stage has been carried...
President Kennedy called for a step-by-step progression to complete disarmament, underscored the American position on Berlin, and repeated his country's opposition to the "troika" principle before the United Nations yesterday...
...bought. For 24 million workers already covered by the minimum wage law, the measure provides a raise from $1 to $1.15 by Labor Day and to $1.25 by September 1963. For 3,600,000 newly covered retail, service and construction workers, it provides a $1 floor this fall, with step-by-step raises to $1.15 by September 1964-just two months before the next presidential election-and to $1.25 in September...
Space can be mastered only by a careful, step-by-step campaign. Last week the Russians took a forward step by launching another of their five-ton "spaceship" satellites and landing it successfully. This one, said Moscow, carried a dog named Zvezdochka (Little Star) and other small creatures. The flight gives the Soviet man-in-space program a three-out-of-five record of success in orbiting manworthy satellites and bringing them back to earth safely. If a Soviet astronaut had been on board last week, he would presumably have survived...
...making a different step-by-step study of space. Last week the National Aeronautics and Space Administration launched from Cape Canaveral a 78-lb. satellite programed to go into an elongated orbit ranging from 120,000 miles at its apogee (highest point) to 94 miles at its perigee. On board were three magnetometers, including an extremely sensitive one to measure magnetic fields, and a special instrument to study protons shot out of the sun. This sort of information is vital for space flight to other parts of the solar system. The crews of low-orbit manned satellites will...
