MYLEX United Prest International Washington (CPD The Atomic Energy Commission said today U. S. nuf lear weap ons are being "expandgd rap idly" in both numbers and kinds. But it indicated at the same time in a report to Congress that this country still lacks special nuclear warheads for long-range missiles and for anti-missile missiles to coun ter Soviet weapons. It hopes to remedy this lack to some extent in the nuclear tests being conducted in the r l-rV- fe J..

Although construction of the vast modern air facility has been halted for about three weeks by the current labor dispute between the As sociated General Contractors and the operating engineers, Alan Mills, assistant general manager of the port said the port feels the building will be aufficiently completed to be dedicated.

Neuberger added however, that these amounts do not in clude funds for the forest ac cess roads under direction of U. S. forest servic which will be apportioned at a later date.

But missile warheads canont go into production ahead of the missiles, and this country has not yet perfected either long - range rocket weapons or short-range de fenses against enemy missiles Mostly Bombs Presumably the bulk of weapons in the U. S. stock pile are bombs of various sizes, and weapons of differ ent calibers for the many tac tical guns and rockets devel oped before Russia's massive Sputniks focused fearful at tention upon the threat of in tercontinental ballistic mis siles. Russia says she possesses missiles capable of delivering hydrogen warheads in less than 30 minute on targets more than 6,000 miles away. This country is still trying to develop .them. In its 24th semi-annual re port, the AEC said that in the past six months its production of the explosive materials for nuclear weapons "exceeded the goals." As a result of past tests, it said, "weapons models have been improved and new types of weapons smaller, more efficient, more rugged, and more immediately ready have been developed." On Minutes' Notice Some of the new weapons are going into the arsenal now. Others, scheduled for production, are being proof tested in the Pacific. Still others, including big and lit tle hydrogen weapons "with greatly reduced radioactive fallout" for both offensive and defensive use, are being nut through "exploratory tests." A major aim of its current efforts, the AEC said, is devel opment of "smaller, immedi ately ready that is, ready within minutes and more rugged weapons for use in more advanced weapons sys tems." This apparently was a ref erence to warheads for mis siles, still in the future, which must be able to blast off with only a few minutes' advance notice. But missiles and their war heads can't be designed inde pendently. For that reason, the AEC is working closely with the Defense Department "so that the missile warhead will be an integrated part of a weapon system and ready when the missile system is ready.
