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. . . " .

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. NO OTHER FORM OF MILK
can give you such outstanding results.

"The Russians have test-fired a
long-range ballistic missile hun
dreds of miles further than any
thing this country has attempt
ed." 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."
