U. S. Still Trying To 'Catch Up,' Says Dulles
WASHINGTON. (P) -- Secretary of State Dulles said today the United States "is still trying to 'catch up' and make up for the head start of the Soviets" in the space race.
Dulles told the Senate Foreign Relations Committee that Russia's recent moonshot, calculated to have put a vehicle in orbit around the sun, was "a spectacular product of Soviet material accomplishment." But he added:
"Our 'space' accomplishments during the past year justify the belief that we are making good relative progress."
