Thursday April 28, 193S MEDFORD (OREGON) MAIL TRIBUNE SEVER Guided fissile Production Should Be Shifted Inland, Air Secretary Tells Newsmen Washington U.R) Air Sec retary Harold E. Talbott said today that new aircraft and guided missile production plants must be built inland away from crowded coastal target areas. He said the Air Force opposes . further expansion of the air craft industry on the West and East coasts. Calling for dispersion of tha growing guided missile produc tion business, Talbott told ta newt conference "we have no idea of trying to reduce the acti vity that is there (on the West Coast) but we do not want it xpanded." "The same thing applies to the last Coast," he said. ' Talbott called the news con ference to "make crystal clear the Air Force position" on in dustry dispersion after testimooy he gave the House Appropria tions Committee created a furor In Los Angeles. In his testimony I he called aircraft Industry con centration in California "danger ous" from both a security and an economic standpoint. The Los Angeles Chamber of Commerce immediatly raised a question whether Talbott advo cated reducing automobile pro duction In Detroit or steel pro duction In Pittsburgh. Talbott told reporters he "certainly would not put a big plant in De troit." He said, "the aim is to get away from concentrations."

Tex., plant where B36 Super bombers used to be built. Con vair is developing the Atlas in tercontinental ballistic missile. Talbott said that Boeing, a Seattle company, now is search ing in the Midwest for a plant site for missile production. Boe ing is developing the Bomarc anti-aircraft guided missile. Talbott said that if North America Aviation needed new facilities to build its Navajo in tercontinental missile they should not be built on the West Coast. "We have no idea of decreas ing the amount of activity, amount of contracts and amount of employment on the West Coast," Talbott said, "but we think further expansion should be moved probably to the Mid dlewest." He said that ' was militarily safer. He also said it is "not wise" for any community to de pend for "too big a percentage" of its livelihood on one industry such as military aircraft. In his congressional testi mony, Talbott had said that 25 per cent of Southern California depends on military aircraft pay rolls. He told reporters today "I the increase. The Ar Force will think that's right but I don't know that I was right to have said it." Talbott said that the guided missile program will be "very large" in coming years. Defense figures indicate it is the one area in which military buying is on City Right-of-Way Bill Gets Approval Senate Bill 454. which permits cities to join with counties for acquisition of rights of way for streets outside the city limits, has passed both houses of the legislature and is now awaiting the governor's signature.
