The one-pound monkey, named Gordo. survived his swift ascent to about 300 miles above the earth but disappeared in the ocean when the nose cone of an army Jupiter missile could not be re- covered.

The nose cone in which Gordo rode splashed into the Atlantic about 1.500 miles from the launch- ing point at Cape Canaveral, Fla. The army announced six hours later it had given up the search for the monkey’s little space ship.

His heart beat stepped up lightly as the pull of gravity mul- tiplied in the first phase of flight, but remained generally normal thereafter.

For about eight minutes, while the rocket was out beyond the at- mosphere and curving along an are which counteracted gravity, Gordo went through an exper- ience that will come to man in space — weightlessness.

The agreement was reached after a long conference in the French Foreign Office, where the foreign ministers of France, Brit- ain and the United States were joined in mid-session by We“ Germany’s Foreign Minister von Brentano.

The big three announced their position in a brief communique afterward.

They found, “unacceptable r unilateral repudiation by the So- viet government f its obligations to the governments of France, the United Kingdom and the United States in relation to their presence in Berlin and the free- dom of access to that city,” it said.
