Ballistic Missile Due For Lambasting

By ALVIN B. WEBB JR. United Press International HOUSTON (UP!) — 'Die intercontinental ballistic missile (ICBM>, like taxes and medical care for. the aged, can depend on a leap-year lambasting at the hands of presidential aspirants. The United States, through its Defense Department, is spending nearly $lB billion to develop, build, arm and deploy about 1,100 Atlas, Titan-1, Titan-2 and — Minuteman ICBM’s throughout the Western hemisphere. And with that kind of cash to account for, defense and military officials are jolly well sensitive to criticism. Power, accuracy, quick reaction and human reliability determine how close an ICBM system comes to 100 per cent dependability. y U. S. missiles have the power. An early-model Atlas still, holds the world record of 9,054 miles. The Titan-2 theoretically could travel halfway around the globe. And even the little Minuteman “instant ICBM” is getting enough muscle to reach any target in the Soviet Union. Top Secret - . Accuracy is a matter of heaviest secrecy. But Atlas missiles are known to have hit within 1% miles of targets at ranges or more than 6,000 miles, and U. S. ICBM accuracies today are scored “in terms of yards rather than miles,", informed sources said. The Air Force expects to have its minuteman “shooting eye” so sharp that, within a year or so, it .could hit a 10square - foot target with the equivalent of 1 million tons of TNT over a range spanning onethird of the earth’s circumference. Even the Skybolt air-launched missile proved it could land a 400-pound Warhead within a ADAMS | THEATER - Last Time Tonight - One Performance Starting 7:30 Walt Disney Color Hit! “20,000 LEAGUES UNDERTHE SEA” gfrit Doagias.

mile of a target at a range of nearly 1,000 miles — and that program was killed because it w’as not good enough. In terms of reaction — ability to get into the air before an enemy missile- wipes out the launching -site — dependability of the Atlas and Titan-1 rockets is questionable. Each must be loaded with liquid oxygen, a time - consuming process that ‘would make’"“Their- chances' of getting off the ground on the 'maximum 30-minute notice expectable quite marginal. Others Reliable But alongside the 120 Atlases and 54 Titan-1, there are 54" Tit-1. an-2 rockets and about 350 Minuteman missiles on, station today. Theoretically, the Minuteman could be launched on 32 seconds’ notice and the Titan-2 with a few minutes of preparation. Informed sources said the quick - reaction systems have have proved to be “quite reliable.” ■ ■ But the “system” that, above all, controls the great ICBM* complex is the human element —and it seems likely that a full measure of its dependability could be taken only under conditions of an all-out war. Street Department Clearing Streets As the winds died down shortly before noon, the city street department started clearing the snow from Second street through the. Jjjisipejf s..district Until then, winds whipped up piles of snow faster than the plows could remove them. • «. The downtown merchants on the west side of the street had windswept sidewalks for the most part, but huge drifts blocked the curbs on the east side of the street. However, by 8 a.m. the merchants had a walking path from Mbdison to Monroe “ streets/ and it was soon through to Jefferson.

In Chicago, Greyhound Bus Co. officials said this morning all their runs. to Indiana have been cancelled. Despite extremely hazardous driving conditions, only one weekend traffic death was reported—before the storm hit. The storm triggered power failures in Boone and Hamilton Counties. The sheriffs’ departments in both counties were without electricity for brief periods when lines snapped under the weight of snow and ice. Charles C, Litzenberger, 61, West Lafayette, died of a heart attack induced by shoveling snow, authorities said. Indianapolis Mayor John J. Barton declared a snow emergency in his city, where traffic was badly slowed by heavy snow. Not much additional snow was predicted after today. The five-day forecast called for onetenth inch of precipitation "or less” in the northern third of the state, and little .or no precipitation elsewhere. But temperatures will range 5 to 7 degrees below normal Tuesday through Saturday, to a range of 5 to 6 below zero Tuesday morning. Temperatures today will be mostly in the teens. Evansville reported a high of 35 Sunday and overnight readings were in the teens throughout the state.

Castro Makes Surprise Visit To Red Russia MOSCOW (UPD—Cuban Premier Fidel Castro got a bearhug greeting from Premier Nikita S. Khrushchev”today on his arrival for a surprise visit and talks expected to center on U.S. troubles in Panama. It was below zero when Castro’s Soviet jet landed after a nine-hour flight from sunny Havanna, but Western observers said Castro’s welcome was as warn! as the one he received in May, when he spent more than a month here. . The Visit. was announced -suddenly Sunday night, and the Cuban people did not learn of it until after Castro was airborne. The Soviets said Khrushchev invited the bearded Cuban ‘‘again to visit the Soviet Union in winter time to exchange opinions on questions of mutual interest to rest, to acquaint himself with the wjnter landscape and hunt in the snow-clad foresf.bf’ the Soviet Union.” Western observers said these topics were likely .to dominate the talks: —Thh rioting in Panama: The vital Panama Canal is only 750 miles south of Castro’s Island/ Pro-Castro agitators were reported active in the antiAmerican mobs in Panama City. " Both leaders noV hope to exploit the State?’ trouble in Panama and can be expected to ussue charges of U.S. colonialism in a bid for- support in Latin America. -—Cuba’s loyalty to Moscow: Castro was promised large amounts of new Soviet aid during his last visit here. At the time, he appeared to take Moscow’s side in the ideological dis-, pute' with 'Communist Chink/ But Castro obviously disappointed 'the Soviets when he joined China and the other militants of the Communist camp in refusing to sign the nuclear test ban treaty last fall.

Leaders Os 13 Arab States Meet In Cairo CAIRO (UPD—Leaders of 13 Arab states gathered today in a rare show of unity to plan ways of preventing Israel from diverting the waters of the River Jordan. United Arab Republic President Gamal Abdel Nasser called the three-day meeting of the Arab League amid talk of a “marcK on Palestine,” but observers said there was little chance the Arab nations would decide to attack Israel.

Right now, one third of them are unable to pass minimum physical achievement tests. That’s because most physical activity programs in our schools concentrate oh the 10% or so of our youngsters interested in varsity sports. The other 90%—those most in need of physical conditioning—rarely get the body-build-ing activities they need. Our schools can help by offering a planned, vigorous physical education program.

It will be used to irrigate the Negev, Israel’s undeveloped desert, by means of a 100-mile pipeline. The sea is on Israel’s border with Syria, a short distance from Jordanian territory. The Arab states fear the project could mean increases for Israel’s population and resources and a consequent rise in

Jordan’s King Hussein told his countrymen in a broadcast Sunday that he hopes the other Arab nations will agree here “upon one flag for a unified army which will march toward Palestin.e” Hussein, who arrived here Sunday, said Jordan is ready “to spearhead any Arab decision toward restoring Palestine, which must be discussed as a whole and not only about the Jordan waters.”

MONDAY, JANUARY 13, 19M

The Arab state of Jordan and the Jewish state of Israel now share' the former territory of Palestine. Although Israel’s shooting war with the Arab states ended in 1948, ft is still technically at war with Jordan. But observers here said that instead of war, the summit was likely to produce plans for Arab development of th4 Jordan, an intensified boycott campaig against Israel, and increased publicity for Arab rights in Palestine.
