MOSCOW — The successful
launching of two dogs, Belka
(Squirrel) and Strelka
Arrow), into space and their
recovery by Soviet scientists,
within three .years of sending
up the historte: Sputnik I, is
proof positive that. manned
flight into space is not too far
ahead.

The Soviet victory with
their latest space ship is, to
quote Pravda, “a remarkable
expression of the. superiority
of the Soviet socialist system.”

The whole world is watch-
ing the epic deeds in science of
a people who. are soaring into
the heavens while. the.imperi-
alists send their planes on spy

Top spokesman of the So-
viet, Academy. of Science,
Yevgeni Fyodorov, said “the
hour is nearing» when man

| That is why they note with
‘regret, said Fyodorov, the fre-
quent reports in the Western
press expressing exactly op-
{posite views. He referred to
U.S. General Shriver’s
ments about the ‘Discoverer’
satellite.

“Having suffered a fiasco in
aerial espionage they hope to
be successful in space spying.
It is superfluous to say they
are doomed to failure there,
too.”
