Moscow is in festive array for the opening of the Soviet Union's industrial
exhibition. The high spot of the fair, proudly displayed, is a full-scale replica
of Sputnik 3. One interested onlooker is Bertolt Beitz, representative of
West Germany's giant crop industries. The 12-foot high Sputnik 3 weighs a ton
and a half, three times heavier than the dog carrying Sputnik 2, 100 times
heavier than the largest of America's three satellites. It's an impressive
indication of Russia's major strides in science and industry, played up for all
it's worth by the Kremlin as a red victory in the battle for world prestige.
