The Russians' original an nouncement claimed the missile could strike anywhere in the world but gave no range. Two long, detailed articles on the general subject of long-range rockets appeared in the Soviet press. Neither, however, claimed to give a special description of the new mis.Ue. However, the technical articles in Soviet Aviation and Komsomol Pravda were apparently written with a first-hand knowledge of missues. Mistilt Described Komsomol Pravda described an intercontinental ballistic missile as one with a range of more than 8,000 kilometers (4,960 miles). It said the missile is guided only on the first part of its journey and from then on it travels like an ar tillery shell. Intercontinental missiles, the paper added, attain speeds of 10,- ooo miles an hour, are multistaged and are highly accurate. It said there was no defense against it. The paper described in detail tne u. i. missiles bnark and Al ius and said neither was so fast long-ranged nor as powerful as the weapon it had outlined. Soviet Aviation had said Wednesday the new missile was extremely accurate.

S. Gives Poland New And Favorable Trade Agreement WASHINGTON I - The United States has given Communist Po land a new and favorable trade status, nearly equal to that of any of this nation't allies. The Commerce Department Wednesday announced relaxed rules which will permit Poland to get such strategically valuable U. S. goods as industrial machin ery, steel mill products, machine vehicles. The loosening of export restric tions was promised last June when the two countries signed an agreement loaning Poland nearly 49 million dollars, to be used to purchase U. S. agricultural prod ucts and mining machinery. Aid Promised Another 46 million dollars worth of aid was promised, contingent on congressional approval of a surplus disposal bill. That meas ure has been enacted. The agreement stemmed from events in Poland last fall, when the Poles asserted a degree of independence from Moscr.w con trol. Communist Yugoslavia also has a trade status similar '.o that of noncommunist Western nations, but the U. S. government does not regard Yugoslavia as a Soviet satellite. Under the new rules, Poland now can import surplus U. S. ag ricultural commodities on a ban ter basis, becoming the first So viet Bloc nation to gain the privi lege. Poland also becomes the first such nation eligible to receive goods on the U. S. government's "positive list" a selected group of commodities in short supply or of strategic importance. Seat Bail-out Accomplished At Ground Level I PATUXENT, lid. I A plucky British airman has successfully made the first test in the United States of a new aircraft ejection seat which permits bail-out at low altitudes even near ground level from speedy jets. Royal Air Force Flying Officer Sidney Hughes blasted himself out of a two-place F9F Navy Panther jet here Wednesday just as the plane left the runway at a speed of more than 130 miles an hour. He was catapulted 80 feet into the air. and a parachute then bil- i lowed out to drop him to a fect- iirst landing. James Martin, inventor of the seat, told reporters It was only the second ground level lest ever made by man. The other was made in England. Secretary of the Navy Gates, who witnessed the demonstration at the Naval test center here, de scribed the device as "the great est thing in aviation safety since the parachute."
