Though the Thor and Jupiter IRBM's are being tested, the government has ordrered them into mass production. The Unit ed States is reported preparing to ask NATO nations this month to station the 1,500 mile rockets in Europe to be used in case of war with Russia. Dr. Theodore von Karman, senior missiles adviser to the North Atlantic Treaty organiza tion, urged that IRBM's to be launched from mobile platforms be supplied NATO nations with in a few months. Von Karman said the need for such missies was critical because Russia now possesses the power to knock out Western bases in Europe by a surprise nuclear at tack. He said the whole concept of massive retaliation must be dras tically revised because it has been outdated by Soviet missile advances. He said he believed his suggestions would be approv ed at the NATO "summit" con ference in Parris Dec. 16-18.

Bull-necked George Meany, federation president, is ready to quit if the convention's 1,200 delegates refuse to go along in giving the gate to the Teamsters and three other unions marked for expulsion.

Mc Donald, president of the United Steelworkers, today urged a 15-billion-dollar school building pro gram to "halt unemployment and overtake the Russians in the race for dominance of outer space." The chief of the 1,250,000 member union called for in creased salaries for teachers as an adjunct of the plan. McDonald urged congression al support of such a program in letters to Sen. Lister Hill (D Ala.), chairman of the senate labor and public welfare com mittee, and Rep. Graham A. Bar den (D-N.C), chairman of the house education and labor com mittee. The labor leader said the pro gram calls for 15,000 new schools costing on an average 1 million dollars each. McDonald said the nation needs "such a bold program" to "bolster its slipping economy and to- provide propulsion in the rocket race as well as in other phases of science where the United States has shown to be lagging behind Russia." "As matters stand right at this moment," McDonald said, "by 1960, America will be 500,000 classrooms short and 500,000 too few teachers."
