DEATH BY REMOTE CONTROL
6000 MPH Guided Missile
So Deadly as to Ban Itself
From an Atlantic seaboard site in Florida, less than an hour's
drive from Daytona Beach, the U. S. in the foreseeable future
will fire it's greatest weapon the guided missile that screams
through the Ionosphere at 6,000 m.p.h. to bring death and destruc
tion to any point on the globe!
Cape Canaveral proving
grounds, darling of a nickel
nursing congress, is being read
ied for tests that, in the opinion
of Dr. Karl Compton, will per
fect a weapon so lethal, so total,
that fear of retaliation alone
will forever ban its use.
The complete story of the
years of planning and research
that have gone into this Cape
Canaveral project is told in the
December issue of Liberty Mag
azine in an article entitled, "U.S.
Site to launch 5,000 Mile Guid
ed Missiles," by Allen Chellas
and Pat Tucker.
"The Cape Canaveral project
is nobody's pet," asserts the
Liberty article.
"Plans were begun under the
late Secretary Forrestal; his suc
cessor, Louis Johnson, has al
ready made it clear that they
will be carried out. Says Sec
retary Johnson emphatically, 'It
is required by all services, and
will be operated bv all serv
ices!' "
However, the Liberty article
does reveal that since somebody
had to be in charge, executive
responsibility was tossed to the
Air Force.
"Of the nation's half billion
dollar appropriation for develop
ment of new weapons, a whoop
ing twenty per cent is earmark
ed for guided missiles. And
congress has already indicated
that if the current $75 million
budget for Cape Canaveral
proves inadequate, it is willing
to up the ante to $200 million.
Declared vitally necessary to
national survival and defense by
military and scientific experts,
the proving grounds will answer
the critical question which
missile will -be the deadliest in
any given set of circumstances.
Top man on the Florida roc
ket launching tower is Brigadier
General William Lloyd Richard
son, trim and dapper, who quiet
ly reminds that "there is still
no defense against the V-2 once
it is in flight. (Germany's ace
in the hole during World War
II).
Additional revelations in the
Liberty report indicate that the
most difficult problem facing the
scientist-missileer is the use of
atomic energy in guided missiles.
There is no difficulty, of course,
in loading the war head of a
"bird" (scientific vernacular)
with an atom bomb. The prob
lem lies in the use of atomic
energy to send guided missiles
hurtling through the stratos
phere. Dr. Compton says that nuclear
fission plants will be available
in the U. S. by 1950 and the
picture of smashing a vital elec
tronic development on the out
skirts of Moscow from a launch
ing pad somewhere in the U. S.
is not pure fantasy.
"Easily within the realm of
reasonable speculation, too is
the sub-marine-controlled roc
ket or ram-jet. And there's the
weird, and entirely feasible, con
ception of biological warfare
with guided missiles carrying
the most frightful of epidemic
diseases in their warheads.'
The one ray of hope offered
in the plethora of atomic, jet
and rocket hopelessness comes
from General Richardson, who
says that we may soon be able
to detect and divert enemy mis
siles.
"Screaming and thundering
at 6,000 miles per hour 250 miles
high, out of sight and out of
hearing, atom-powered missiles
will search out with robot preci
sion a target smaller than the
Pentagon, smaller than the
Kremlin, from any point on
earth."
