Day In Seattle Washington (U.R; President Eisenhower will extend his west ern campaign trip this month an extra day in Seattle, Wash. However, no new stops were planned.

Hagerty said Mr. Eisen hower is considering some ex pansion of his one-day trip to Pittsburgh next Tuesday v Hager ty hinted that the President's activities would include more than his television address. However. Hagerty would not give other details except to say tha,t Mr. Eisenhower would not visit another city or deliver an other formal speech. He said it will remain a one-day trip, as originally planned. On his western swing, Mr. Eis enhower originally planned to fly to St. Paul and Minneapolis. Minn., for daytime appearances Oct. 17. He would then fly to Seattle for a television appear ance that night with Washing ton s GOP Gov. Arthur Langlie, who is in a tight contest with Sen. Warren G. Magnuson CD Wash.) for the Senate seat. Under the new schedule. Mr. Eisenhower will go to Minnesota Oct. 16 and spend the extra full day in Seattle. However, the schedule for the extra day has been left open so far.

Army Developing Weapons To Reduce Plane Dependence Abendeen Proving Ground, Md. (U.R) The Army is de veloping new atomic weapons that are expected to reduce its dependence on air force fighter planes for battlefield support. Among them is a relatively light weight 175 mm cannon which apparently can fire atomic shel',". The new cannon is a marked contrast to the cum bersome 280 mm atomic cannon of which the Army was so proud only a few years ago. Weapons Demonstrated The 175 mm cannon was in cluded in a group of weapons demorytrated here Thursday for about o.OOO members and guests of the American Ordnance Asso ciation. The weapons can fire atomic explosives from a few miles to almost 200 miles ahead of troor,- at the battlefront. The weapons are a vital factor in current Pentagon discussions about reducing the planned size of the Air Force. Such manpower cuts probably would fall heav iest on the Tactical Air Com mand, the Air Force and that works closest with the Army. Some exper,, believe that the 175 mm cannon would play a powerful role in knocking out battlefield targets now assigned to much more expensive fighter bombers. Missile Due Soon At Thursday's demonstration, the Army also announced that it,; 60-foot Redstone missile "will soon take its place" in the na tion's arsenal. Maj. Gen. John B. Medaris. chief of the Huntsville, Ala., Army ballistic missile agency, claimed that the Redstone is "completely immune to any presently known types of counter-measures" or defenses. The Redstone can fire either conventional or atomic war heads and has a reported range of up to 200 miles.
