蒋廷黻日记>19600111

Delegation discussed (1) The news that Red China will set in orbit a satellite in 1962. (2) Russian rocket firing in Southern Pacific. (3) Eisenhower’s State of the Union message section on the Atlas missile. Re. (1) the news, purportedly an intelligence report, is suspect. How much of the satellite will be Chinese in manufacture and how much Russian? The dispatch mentioned Dr. Tsien 【錢學森]【1】 of Cal Tech, as the expert, but Tsien was an airplane designer in Cal Tech in the war period and early post-war years. At the time he was in MIT and Cal Tech, missile was not advanced. The mention of Tsien makes the news more suspicious than ever.
As to Russian rocket in South Pacific, it seemed to us that nobody could prevent it, certainly not the U.N. The American reaction would consider it a challenge, to be met by new effort in the U.S.A.
Met Jay at Sun Luck. We talked about the rift theory (rift between Peiping and Moscow).
