Americans vow forward after Vanguard setback in space race
Vice President Nixon urged Americans to abandon defeatist talk and press ahead with a three missile program. He defended Vanguard as a scientific project while the Navy and Army pursue other space efforts including Thor missile tests at Cape Canaveral and Jupiter C plans. Officials released film of the abortive Vanguard firing and emphasized continuing work toward space goals despite the setback. The NATO summit in Paris looms as a test of resolve amid foreign reaction to the failure.
