Satellite Maintains Steady Course As U.S. Plans Winter Launching; Ike Spurns Soviet Policy Parley

WASHINGTON, Oct. 9--Sputnik sped around the world on a steady course today, speaking to earthbound scientists with a strong new radio voice.

President Eisenhower today discussed the Russian achievement for the first time. He made these points at a news conference:

1. The successful launching of the satellite has not increased his concern about national security by one iota.

2. The United States could have put a satellite in orbit before now but to the detriment of other scientific goals and military progress in the long-range missile field.

3. After tests in December, the United States plans to fire "a fully instrumented satellite vehicle" in March of 1958.

4. This country was never in a race with Russia to get the first satellite into orbit.

Ike Declaration on Russian Bid

WASHINGTON, Oct. 9--President Eisenhower ruled out today any joint Soviet-American "attempt to dictate to the world."

His declaration at a news conference offered assurance to America's allies that this country has no intention of abandoning close cooperation with them in exchange for an exclusive effort by the two superpowers to settle major world issues.

It also amounted to rejecting an evident bid by Soviet Communist party boss Nikita Khrushchev for a two-way deal between Washington and Moscow.
