E suggestion implicit in! these reports is that a few lives in a small price to pay for the credit of shooting the first man into space and retrieving him alive. How true is this? The difficulty of trying to evaluate this risk is that the Soviet rocket programme is enshrouded in silence, and while a few. results are known the over- all picture is obscure. But on what is known of Russia's achievements
and fanatical determination to suggest the superiority of her system, it la entirely probable that under the pressure of recent Ameri can advances she would accept the risk of a few failures to be able to calm such a spectacular space victory.

London, Feb. 6.
Prime Minister Harold Macmillan's son Maurice made a blistering attack on his father's eco- nomic policy in a House of Commons speech today.
The younger Macmillan, a 40. vemold Conservative MP for Halifax, said his father failed to give Great Britain leadership in economies and industry.
"I am afraid the Goverment has neglveied the responsibllilies of leadership within this coun- try, and Industry has looked in vain for leadership from Government," he said.
