Ba sue Missile in Soviet Hands Will Cancel US lifii By CHARLES CORDDRY United Press Correspondent Washington (U.R) Amer ica's worldwide military strength will be largely cancel led out if Russia is first to per fect ballistic missiles with 1,500 mile range, the magazine "Army" said today. The magazine, published by the Association of the United States Army, jumped on the Air Force for contending that such mid-range missiles in Russian hands would not basically alter present military conditions. At the same time, one of the most urgent calls yet for a speed up in. ballistic missile develop ment came from a famed Ger man who claimed no other, wea pons will be able to deter or win global war in the future. 'Sitting Ducks' " Dr. Walter . R. Jornberger, who directed German, V-wea-pons development in World War II, said air defenses in five or six years will make "sitting ducks" of bombers and even guided missiles that go no high er than 100,000 feet and no fast er than 2,600 miles an hour. - The "only way out" for the offense is the ballistic missile that streaks through space at speeds up to 15,000 MPH, Dorn berger told an Aviation Writers association meeting Tuesday. He put the emphasis on an in tercontinental ballistic missile (ICBM) which, he said, America must Lave "first and fast," while "Army" magazine emphasized the intermediate range (IRBM) or 1,500-mile missile. The puhli cation said Russia may have an IRBM ''before we even get off the ground" with .an -ICBM. "Army" is an unofficial mag azine published by an . associa tion comprising active and for mer U.S. Army personnel and other Army supporters. The association's president is Lt. Gen. Walter L. Weible, Army deputy chief of staff. NATO In Dire PerU The magazine said if Russia is first with a 1,500-mile missile girt, flrti NATO will be in "dire peril" and U. S. overseas bases will "exist only by sufferance of the Soviets." Allies would be "under the very guns of Soviet power." The Air Force contends Rus sian medium bombers can de liver, atomic bombs now against all such targets with more ac- cle Says curacy than their missiles will have for "some time to come." It claims America's retaliatory power restrains such an attack and any intercontinental mis sile the Russians may have in the next 10 years will have only "marginal advantage" over So viet bombers. j MOTOR FOR A MOON A rocket engine such as this will . propel the first stage of an artificial satellite nearly 40 . miles above the earth next year when the United States will attempt to hurl pseudo moons into space. The model being examined here by General Electric Engineer Fred ; Brown was unveiled in Cincinnati when G.E. revealed plans i for a ?20-million test facility near Cincinnati Coffee Prices Due To Go Higher Soon New York (U.R) The cof fee which three out of four Am ericans drink every day is go ing up in price again.

Ridgway said yes terday that the U. S. Eighth Army could have driven the Chinese from Korea but " "I strongly , doubt that such a vic tory would have been worth the cost." The cost would have been high in lives, Ridgway said in the last ' instalments of his memoirs in the Saturday Evening Post. , He said he had not been a party to councils which decided to ac cept Russian-sponsored overtur es for a Korean truce. "But in retrospect I do not feel constrained to quarrel with that decision," he wrote. Ridgway concluded his me moirs with a plea that the United States "not relinquish, in even slight degree, our power to de fend ... if war again should en gulf the world" the enduring values which free men cherish.

Boy cotts were organized, consump tion fell off and congress inves tigated. Prices Raised A number of roasters recent ly raised prices of vacuum-packed coffees as much as five cents a pound to offset higher raw coffee costs. This) boost, when fully reflected at retail, will boost prices of most popular brands to $1 or, more. The leading food chains have jacked up prices of their private-label brands , by two to four cents, bringing their prices to as much as 87 cents a pound. Experts in the coffee industry, which does a $3,000,000 a year busiress in the United States, are reluctant to discuss the price picture. Some admit the price may go even higher before the spiral runs its course. ' Psychologigal Effect The industry hates to see a dollar-sign tacked onto its prod uct on the grocery shelves. "The $1 a pound "mark has a psychological effect on house wives," one roaster said. "When she has to pay $1 or more .for a pound of coffee she thinks she's getting gypped: But we can't ab sorb increases in raw coffee pric es. Our profit margins are too small." The latest price increase re flects a quirk in the coffee sup ply in South America. There is still an awful lot of coffee in Brazil, but much of it is" of a lower .quality not normally used for U. S. consumption.
