SAN FRANCISCO VP) There will be no secret launching of artificial satellites by the United Slates, and this country expects Russia to hold to a similar open policy in the international scientific undertaking, an American spokesman said Friday night. "We will not launch a satellite until the plans have been announced in advance and until the other nations cooperating in the International Geo physical Year (IGY) have been officially notified," Dr. Joseph Kaplan told newsmen. He heads the U. S.

committee for the IGY. Rumors Persist There have been nebulous rumors that satellites already may have been shot into the air; that Russia may "jump the gun and launch one or more ahead of the IGY schedule, and that private interests have been toying with the idea of trying to get one into he skies inde pendently. None of these has yielded any substantial fact However, navy scientists, who will have official charge of the U. S. launchings, have said test firings of the three-stage rock ets designed To carry the satel lite would be made within six months.

The IGY program, in which 58 nations are participating, gets under way July 1 and will last through 1958. The only time given so far for the American launchings is that they will take place some time after July 1. The Russians have carried out their IGY commitments to the letter and have even inten sified their, cooperative efforts, Dr. Kaplan said.
