Nikes are being installed around major : American cities. Using the missile ring around the Capital as an example, an official said that a bomber will not be able to hurl an atomic bomb at Washington without coming within Nike range, that did not mean no bomber could get through and drop its weapon, however. ? ri -i. .

Another speaker was Jim Rey nolds, who is r doing research work ori the problem of stony pit, a disease which infects pear trees. Reynolds, working under a grant from the Fruitgrowers league, declared that the key to the entire problem is locating what 'he called an indicator plant, or a. quick growing plant which , would show symtoms of the disease in a short J time. Many projects, in addition to the search for an indicator plant, are being conducted, Reynolds said. : , ' ;:"- ".

' Hedbeg indicated that the ec onomic future, both nationally and locally, appears to be good. He noted, that "a profound re adjustment has been . accomp lished since 1953 with a mini mum of business fatalities," and pointed to increased construction and a high birth rate as signs that business will continue to be good. x . : ::::y - Raymond ' Reter, local fruit packer and president of. the Northwest Horticultural council, discussed export of fruit to Eur opean markets. He listed prob lems facing American ' orchard ists; including shortage of ' dol lars in European nations, and organized opposition to Ameri can fruit by European growers.

The Bomarc actually is a pilot less' fighter plane designed to reach out for great distances and track down bombers. ' ; . The defense department au thorities, including" top scient ists, did not entirely . share the pessimistic view .'some public figures have taken of defending the . country against future ; in-J tercontlnental ballistics missiles. "If you ask me when we will be able to counter it, that gets to be a hard question," an ex pert said. "But it isn't theoretic ally impossible - to counter it." -The United States, it was in dicated, is working on at least two varieties of intercontinen tal missiles. One is the ballis tics type that streaks out of the atmosphere like r an artillery shell at more than 12,500 feet per second. The second is the jet-propelled type that flies slower but can be more accur ately controlled all the way to the target.' The latter will be able to steer itself by the stars. The aim is to h a v e these 5,000-mile plus guided weapons strike within a circle about 20 miles in diameter. : " No Test at Present' C ' This country .will not test one of these missiles until "they are accurate enough to deliver the payload With a fair probability into the target area," a scientist said. , ' Diplomatic and technical ar rangements now are in progress to set up a 5,000-mile 'missile test range reaching from Banana River, Fla., across the South Atlantic . to British-held Ascen sion Island.- This country ex pects to fire missiles the length of the course, it was said, but they will be armed with test in struments instead of warheads.
