Russia Believed To Be Definitely in Race of Guided Missile Development Tdiior' not: In April. Nikita Khrmhrhev. Soviet Communist party errctary, laid: "I am quit lure that t will halt a Kutdd mifil with a hydrocen bomb warhead that can rail anywhere in the world ... to you think e are behind you!" By DANIEL F. GILMORE United Pres. Correspondent London UR How much of R u 1 1 i a n "missile-waving" is propaganda and how much is grim fact? The answer may lie in the "crash program" being carried out in the same field by the United States. The world knows that the United States is developing an array of "ultimate weapons" to the utmost of its brain power and monetary resources. In the Soviet Union, where it in difficult to get an estimate on the number of streetcars, let alone strategic weapons, there are sure signs that ihe Russians are in the race. . The illusion immediately after the war that the Russians were too backward to make a good motorcycle, let alone an atom bomb, has long passed. How far have the Russians got on missiles: First, it may help to speculate where the United States is now. IRBM Missiles in Production U.S. Sen. Richard B. Russell recently quoted Air Force offi cials in Washington as saying that an American IRBM (inter mediate range ballistic missile) would be "operational" within a. matter of months. Officials subsequently disagreed. The con census seems to be that the IRBM is at least two years dis tant. IRBM missiles known to be under production include the Jupiter, Polaris and Thor with reported ranges of up to 1,500 miles. More vague is the "operation al" date of the ICBM (intercon tinental ballistic missile). Some observers claim that the ICBM with a range o 5,50" miles will not be ready until 1964 even years hence. ' Western intelligence knows something of what Russia is do ing along these lines. And some of that information has inevitably filtered through to civilian aviation experts and journals. The authoritative British avia tion weekly "Flight" listed "without straying into the world of fantasy" the following "lean ings" on Russian missiles: Air to air: "At Kubinka air field in 1956 several types of aircraft, presumably machines like the MIG17, were seen to be equipped with launching shoes (racks) suitable for airto air missiles. One such shoe was fit ted beneath each wing." Bus Missiles Photographed Surface to air: "In the sum mer of 1955 production of this type of missile was estimated by the Pentagon at 2,000 per month,' in 1956 Gen. Earle Part ridge, command U.S.A.F. Con tinental Air Defense Command, and Sen. Stuart Symington, chairman of the Senate subcom mittees on U.S. air power, stated that the U.S..F. 'has photo graphs' of surface to air batter ies 'in the Moscow area.' Gen. Partridge said that the missiles were like iiKe or laios. The Nike and Talos are, re spectively, U.S. Army and Navy surface to air missiles defense against atomic bombers On the surface to surface miss iles, which include the ICBM and IRBM family, Flight quoted these statements of U.S. and Rus sian officials: The "belief" in November, 1955, that the Russians have a weapon "twice V2 range, opera tionally reliable" and that re search is aimed at 1,500 miles. V2 was the war-time German rocket which blasted London from bases in Belgium, Holland and France. April, 1955 U.S. Air Force Gen. Benjamin W. Chidlaw: "Within 10 years. . . the Russians will have ... an IBM of mach 10 or 20 (tensor twenty times the speed of sound). . . Any tar get in the U.S. in 30 minutes or so. Closer is an IRBM. . . of mach 2 to 3." December, 1955 Soviet Pre mier. Nikolai Bulganin: "The Soviets have developed an inter continental missile. . . " . Missile Test Fired U. S. Sen. Stuart Symington: Tribune Second Section MEDFORD, OREGON, THURSDAY, APRIL 18, 1957 12 Pages Quotes From the News By UNITED PRESS Washington Helen Canfield, witness before the Senate Rackets Committee, on the alleged throwing of a stink bomb through the window of a strikebound pizza bakery: "I thought it was very amusing.

Marrett In de clining, on behalf of Anthony Eden, offers of fund-raising drives to pay Eden's medical expenses:' "He thinks it is wonderful what these people want to do on his behalf but he gratefully declines it." Washington Edgar Eisenhower, on his criticism of his brother's record national budget: "I've had a stack of wires and phone calls all of which have commended me on what I said." , , Brixham, England Capt. Allan Villiers of the Mayflower II as the ship sailed off on the first leg of its commemorative voyage to Plymouth, Mass.: "We are off to America."

Fast Tax Writeoff Hopes Dampened Philadelphia U.R) Treasury Secretary George H. Humphrey today dampened industry hopes for a major revival of the fast tax amortization program. In an article in Iron Age, na tional metal working weekly, Humphrey classified fast tax write-offs as an "artificial stimu lus of a dangerous type." "'He -said that because . rapid amortization is not applied uni versally, it could create a com petitive imbalance in the sound, vigorous growth of our free economy.

CREAM SAUCE BUTTER SAUCE CHEESE SAUCE Double-rich Morning Milk is the secret no other form of milk will do ! Sauces made with Morning Milk have a smoother, creamier texture than those made with ordinary milk. That's because Morning Milk is double-rich, specially heat-treated and homogenized to blend better with all other ingredients.

Another senator: "Russia is working at the highest priority on weapons even more fantastic than the ICBM." Early 1956 Sen. Henry Jack son, chairman of the Military Applications Subcommittee on Atomic Energy: "The Soviets may win the race for the IRBM. . . . They may fire a 1,500 miles ballistic missile before the end of this (1956) year." Shortly afterward, the U.S. Defense Department announced that Russian ballistic missiles had been fired with increasing frequency since the fall of 1955" and that a missile with a range of 900 miles had been tested in November of 1955. April, 1956 Khrushchev: "So you think we are behind you!" Gen. Thomas D. White, U.S.A.F. vice-chief of staff: "Rus sia could have large numbers of nuclear-tipped ICBMs by 1960." Trevor Gardner, former assist ant Air Force secretary for re search and development: - Rus sians "have in being an IRBM capable of 700 to 800 miles." Lt. Gen. James Gavin. Army chief of research and develop ment: The Russians have "fired Schwerin areas capable of stor ing atomic weapons and miss iles: According to reports reaching Vienna, "agreement" was reach ed between the Soviet govern- what must have been a rocket for several hundred; of miles in some numbers." Attack Threatened During the night of the Suez crisis last winter, Moscow threatened missile attacks on Britain and France unless they halted their invasion of Egypt. Within the past few weeks, the West has noted an entirely new urgency in Russia's atti tude to the missile. "Missile jitters" might be the term. Moscow has threatened to blow half a dozen Western coun tries off the face of the map if they allow their soil to be used as nuclear missile bases in a war against the Soviet Union. The threats imply that the Russians have the immediate capability of doing so. Reports reaching the strategic "listening posts" of Vienna and Berlin claim that the Russians are preparing to hip atomic weapons to their troops in East Germany and are planning the construction of guided missile and atomic artillery bases along the Austro-Hungarian border. The Berlin reports said that the Russians are building con crete and steel underground shelters in the Magdeburg and ment and Hungarian Premier Janos Kadar on the construction of guided missile and atomic artillery bases along the Austro Hungarian border "in the near future."
