Navy Plans Satellite Experiments For January Launching Attempt; Stevenson Assumes New Duties

WASHINGTON, Nov. 18--A two-month speedup in the date for launching the first full-fledged U.S. earth satellite was listed as a possibility by the Navy today. A spokesman said that, if the navy is successful with its 6.4-inch, 31/4-pound test satellite next month, the 20-inch sphere carrying complex instruments might be fired into orbit in January rather than March, as originally planned. Vanguard now possesses a higher priority than it did in the past--a development that has just occurred, the Navy man declared.

Sen. Jackson (D-Wash.) said a tax increase may be necessary to provide money for a greatly increased military program including missiles and nuclear devices. Jackson, who heads the weapons subcommittee of the Senate-House Atomic Energy Committee, said the United States should begin at once a crash program for construction of 100 or more atomic-powered submarines.
