Missile Program Reported Lagging

WASHINGTON (UPD—Advisers to President-elect John F. Kennedy have suggested that the United States might have to switch missiles for its man-in-space program possibly’ causing a delay of at least a year in putting an astro: naut in orbit. The possibility was raised Wednesday in a report submitted to Kennedy by a special “task force.” The report said the man-in-space program is ailing, the United States trails Russia in missixe devefepment and there is an urgent need for a single military space command. The United States now plans to send a man into orbit by the end of 1961 in a capsule atop an Atlas intercontinental ballistic missile. The task force told Kennedy a Titan missile may have to be used instead. Headed by Physicist The task force was headed by Dr. Jerome B. Wiesner. 45-year-old physicist at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and Kennedy’s newly-named special assistant for science and technology.

THE DECATUR DAILY DEMOCRAT, DECATUR, INDIANA

He was aided by former Air Force Asst. Secy; Travor Gardner a long-time critic of U.S. space and missile policies. At best, according to the task force, it is "very unlikely” that America will be able to beat Russia in putting a man into orbit. The report said too much publicity has been given to this competitive aspect of the space effort. Says Program is “Marginal*' The Mercury man-in-space program is "marginal" and if the Atlas proves inadequate for the job “it may be necessary to push alternatives vigorously,” the report said. < ’ “The first possibility appears to be the Titan, although it has not yet demonstrated the reliability which is required. We £hort!d study the possibility of—a—Titanboosted Mercury program.” A member of the task force, who asked not to be named, went even further in his personal opinion of Mercury program. “We mean it’s a sick program,” he said. “It was marginal from the beginning, and we should take a hard look at it before we decide to continue it.” Dallas Texans Sign Jackson And House DALLAS, Tex. (UPD—The Dal- . las T.-xans of the American Football League have announced the signing of Frank Jackson, halfback from Southern Methodist, and Danny House, an end from Davidson; to 1961 contracts.

St. Johns Is !
