Rocket Is Fired Successfully By Ind. Guardsmen

CAMP GRAYLJNG—The men of the 38th Infantry Division, Indiana National Guard, Wednesday successfully fired the Honest John rocket for the second straight year. The firing marked the high point in the Guardsmen’s second and final week of summer field training at Gimp Grayling, Michigan. The Honest John, a surface-to-surface rocket which is capable of delivering nuclear, chemical and high explosive warheads, blazed a nine mile path over the northern Michigan woods, reaching its target area in just over four seconds. Batteiy A of the 3rd Battalion, 139th Artillery, was in charge of the firing. The unit is commanded by John Bramstetter of Crawford.sville. Battery A is located in Darlington. Indiana. Last year the 139th Artillery recorded the first successful firing of the Honest John by guard or reserve unit in the Fifth Army area. Brig. Gen. Howard S. Wilcox, commanding general of the 38ih Division, said of the firing today: “I am particularly pleased with the excellent firing of the Honest John rocket. In these two weeks the 38th Infantry Division has conducted itself in an outstanding manner, and has once again proved it is one of the finest infantry divisions in the United States.” The firing of the Honest John rocket was part of an overall armor artillery-infantry demonstration. The rocket is a soild propellant, free flight missile. It weighs 2 , * t tons, and is 25 feet long. The maximum range of the Honest John, called the Artillery’s ’’Sundiy punch.” is over 30 miles. Due to the high speed and relatively low level of attack of the Honest John, the rocket can easily penetrate a heavy air defense artillery system and because it is a free flif^it rocket, electronic counter measures can be used against it. Many of the 7,500 Hoosier Guardsmen at Camp Grayling witnessed the firing.

Jack Favors Another Pact With Soviets WASHINGTON UPI — President Kennedy, confident the Senate will approve the test ban treaty, believes a non-aggression pact with the Soviet bloc also might be worthwhile if it provided "greater security for Berlin.” Kennedy told a news conference Thursday he thought it "advisable” for the NATO powers to discuss Soviet Premier Nikita S. Khrushchev’s proposal for an East-West non-aggression aggreement to see whether it would serve the interests of the

West.

He also said he was ready to give France nuclear weapons and know-how if President Chrrles de Gaulle reversed his field and agreed to sign the limited test ban treaty and cooperate in "integration” of NATO forces-possi-bilities generally considered dim. Kennedy said Red China, dedicated to international war to spread communism, might well trigger World War III in the 1970s when Peking could become a nuclear power, unless some way is found to defuse the situation. The President said he was confident. "when the testimony is all in.” that the Senate would decide the treaty with Moscow outlawing air, space and underwater tests "provides protection for the security interests of the

Tiny Sisters Are Traffic Victims The lives of two tiny sisters were snuffed out Thursday in an accident near Warsaw, raising the Indiana 1963 traffic toll to at least 694 compared with 655 this time last year. Four-year-old Lesa Shepherd and her 2-year-old sister, Tammy, were killed while riding in a car driven by their mother, Rosa, 21, of near Warsaw. Mrs. Shepherd was injured and reported in a state of shock in the Murphy Medical Center at Warsaw. The accident happened iy 2 miles north of Warsaw on Indiana 15.

Under Kennedy’s plan the four and one-half-year dispute would go to the ICC and any change in pay and other working conditions ordered by the ICC would be effective for two years. The ICC decisions would be subject to court review. The carriers favor the bill. But the five railroad brotherhoods, representing about 195,000 train crewmen, oppose it as “compulsory arbitration.”
