Atomic Rockets To Blast Enemy Bombers Out Of Sky Issued Interceptor Planes f The water hooter that can't roit . . because flats can't ! I lot til show J you the -L ) difference! Pernuglas Kier-Crooch Plumbing & Appliance Co. "Far Batter Living" 52S S. (. Stephens Phon. OR 2-3364 By ELTON C. FAY WASHINGTON iff Atomic rockets for blasting enemy bomb ers out of the sky are now being issued to interceptor planes of the air defense command within the Limed States. Suddenly breaking a well-kept srcrci, secretary ot uerense Charles E. Wilson Wednesday re vealed this in a statement which I also said that the same nuclear punch will be incorporated into surface-to-air defense. This will include the Army s Nike-Hercules antiaircraft missile and the Talos, a missile developed i by the Navy which the Air Force as proposed to adopt. i The fact that nuclear missiles I already are out of the experiment al stage and going into the hands of airmen represents the greatest ' advance in aerial defense since World War II and the following advent of the atomic and jet air- : craft age. ' The airborne rockets are being stored "in areas immediately ad ' jacent to the operational units," the Pentagon said, adding that for reasons of military security it I would not say precisely where. I Obviously, however, this eventual- ly will mean at most of the major S. Nelson To Manage McKee Trailers Sales 1 Stanley R. Nelson of Eugene has been appointed manager of the Jim McKee Trailer Sales. 1162 NE Stephens. McKee announced. Mr. and Mrs. Nelson are living in a trailer on the sales lot. Mel son has been service manager of the firm since 1954 and has serv ed in that capacity in Eugene since 1954. i bases where air defense command planes are located. Wilson's statement did not iden tify the rocket being used as a carrier for the nuclear explosive. I It is understood to be of new de sign and to have actual guided missile features instead of being a mere aimed rocket. Reports that the rocket is one of the better known missiles, like the Air Force's Falcon, were dis counted. There has been specula tion published for months that an .entirely new piane-to-piane mis jsile, built for an atomic warhead, was far advanced in development. ! One published report suggested this might be the "Dingdong," a Douglas Aircraft Co. project. I It seems entirely possible that nuclear power as high as 15 or 20 kilotons could be packed in the i warhead of a missile. A kiloton is the equivalent of 1,000 tons of en lersy released by a conventional TNT explosion). Such force obvi. ously could destroy aircraft at what Wilson called "a considera ble distance from the point of burst" perhaps upward of a half mile.
