The United States, which has 16,500 military men in Viet Reds Orbit, 'Maneuver' Spaceship MOSCOW (AP) The Soviet Union announced today it has launched a space ship into orbit which can maneuver in all directions, changing its orbit both sidewise and in height.

The announcement said the apparatus is called Polyot One. Polyot means flight. The ship apparently ir unmanned, but contains a mass of control mechanisms which permit it to maneuver in such a manner that, if desired, it could be moved alongside another craft in space. Such a project has been planned not only by the Soviet Union but by the United States. The announcement, given over Moscow Radio, said the ship can maneuver in all directions.

At one plage it flew with a maximum height of 592 kilometers (368 miles) and a min-mum altitude of 343 kilometers (211 miles). On several occasions during its flight it was called on to transmit data to listening stations in the xsoviet Union. Its performance was described as normal. Moscow Radio described it as an important step for further study and exploration of the cosmos. The purpose of maneuvering two ships together is to get a big enough mass into orbit to serve as a launching pad for a subsequent ship to some distant iosmic body, such as the moon.

Several of the Soviet and American space "ships" launched into orbit have had a limited amount of maneuverability, but not enough either to swing laterally into totally different orbits around the earth. terious explosion which shattered a drug store in Marietta, Thursday night.
