Two air force fighter planes,
the Republic YF-96A and the
Lockheed -, not yet oniciany

Army anti-aircraft rockets and
guided missiles said to be able
to destroy bombers flying above
60.000 feet.
A potent anti-tank weapon.
ReTMltd in Interview
Gen. J. Lawton Collins, army
chief of staff, guardedly revealed
development of the new anti
aircraft and anti-tank weapons
last night in a radio interview
with Lylo C. Wilson. United
Press Washington manager. The
interview was carried nationally
on the American Broadcasting
company network.
Collins said relatively Inex
pensive anti-aircraft rockets are
In the advanced stages of de
velopment." He was confident
they will be able to destroy
planes flying at altitudes of more
than 11 miles.
The army has a guided mis
sile, he said, that "Rives prom
ise" of knocking out planes at
an even greater range.
The anti-tank weapon, he said,
may "change the whole concept
of tank warfare." Nothing that
"potential aggressor armies"
have large numbers of tanks, he
said the army is "well on the
way toward producing" the
weapon to stop them.
To Tnt Large Rocket
The navy announced meantime
that its guided missile ship, the
"Norton Sound," sails from Port
Huenemc, Cal., today for a 29
day Pacific cruise during which
a "Viking" rocket will be
launched sometime next month.
The Viking is the largest U. S.
built research rocket. Almost 80
feet long and 2V4 feet in diam
eter, it attained an altitude of
M'i miles in experiments at the
White Sands, N. M., proving
grounds a year ago.
Next month's test will be the
first in which the Viking has
been launched from a ship.
It was disclosed that the new
YF-96A air force fighter, still
experimental, Is a swept-bnek
wing version of the F-B4 Thun
derjet. The F-97 is a fast-climbing
two-seat, all-weather fighter.
Based on the F-80 Shooting Star,
the nation's first operational jet
tighter, it boasts a high-speed,
thin wing and a Prntt and Whit
ney J-48 enRine. the most pow
erful In production in this coun
try. TO ATTEND SESSION
Camp White. Apr. 26 A large
delegation of Camp White mem
bers expect to attend the past
commanders' night in the Mod
ford armory today. Two weeks
aRo the Mcdford post conducted
an open moeling here and ex
tended an invitation to the men.
Secret Details On
Defense Weapons Told
108 Planes Ordered
Collins said in his interview
with Wilson that modern aero
nautical developments have giv
en the army a tough problem in
devising defenses against planes
that "may be used to attack the
United Stales."
He was "confident" that new
anti-aircraft rockets "will be
able to destroy" planes at alti
tudes that are at least two miles
higher than any bomber flies
today.
He gave no further details, but
it was considered fair specula-
lion that the rockets may have
proximity fuses small radio
sets that set off their explosive
charge when they reach attack
ing planes.
Collins gave no details at all
on the "radical" anti-tank weap
on. But some quarters speculated
that the army may have com
bined the recoilless gun with
the shaped charge. A shaped
charge, used in bazookas of
World War II fame, is a concen
trated explosive that will blast
a hole through almost anything,
when set off at the right time.
