In Section 1 the relations of problem with geodesic foliations of a round sphere are considered, but the proof of conjecture on this way is not complete. In Section 2 the proof based on recent results and methods for topology and volume of Blaschke manifolds is given.AMS-TeX v 2.1, 13 pagesDifferential Geometry53C12 (Primary) 53C20 (Secondary)Great sphere foliations and manifolds with curvature bounded abovetext
