That high kill rate was claimed tor a new model of the Falcon missile which is equip ped with a heat-seeking device that leads it to attacking air craft. The Air Force said the air borne missile has knocked down a dozen Matador pilotless bomb ers in tests. The Matadors were traveling near the speed of sound when destroyed by Fal cons which were not equipped with warheads. The Matador is an Air Force bombardment missile designed to carry atomic warheads sev eral hundred miles. The new Falcon senses at dis tances of more than five miles the infra-red radiation emitted by invading aircraft. It differs from earlier models which are guided by their own radar. Any Kind of Weather The Air Force said both types can be carried in interceptors to 'increase our air defense capa bility." The radar guided ver sion can track down an enemy target in any kind of weather while the infra-red model is specially good against targets at low altitudes where radar can be avoided, Air Force spokes men said. The Falcon mi s s i 1 e s are carried by F102 supersonic in terceptors and F89 Scorpion fighters. They will be used in the new F101B interceptor which flies well over 1,000 miles an hour. The Falcon was developed by Hughes Aircraft Co. and is in production at the Hughes-op erated Air Force plant in Tuc son, Ariz. PROFESSOR DIES Brunswick. Maine W Dr. M.

Wl Po lice today said they haven't been able to uncover a "solid clue" that might lead them to a killer who shot down two policemen after they stopped him on a rou tine traffic violation. Confession Proves False Police Capt. Lee Maxwell said that the search for the killer has swung back to Southern Cali fornia after a confession turned out to be a hoax and it was disclosed that a different .22 caliber weapon killed three per sons in New Mexico. William T. Allen, 25, a former inmate of a Chicago mental in stitution, "confessed" to the crime Wednesday in Oakland, Calif. However, his description didn't match that of the man who murdered Officers Milton G." Curtis, 25, and Richard A. Phillips, 29, early Monday. De tectives added that Allen gave the wrong time for the slayings and other details in his story proved false. Officers said there was only a "bare possibility" Allen could be the right man. Link Hoped Officers had hoped to link the slayings with the murder of three persons in New Mexico. The two policemen and the New Mexico victims were killed with a .22 caliber gun. ' Police obtained scientific proot that a different .22 caliber weap on killed two women and a truck driver in New Mexico despite the similarity of both shootings.
