Try and Stop Me
-By BENNETT CERF-
TTrES LAWRENCE, ace Cleveland columnist, received th!S
V query from a constant reader: "Who do you consider
the best qualified man for the next president of the United
stales : x.awrence, no
fool he, cautiously re
plied, "My opinion, dear
reader, would be purely
' academic, for my wife
long ago made me prom- -ise
never to enter poli- V
tics." . ' '
Kenyon Scudder, expert
on crime prevention, thinks
that TV underworld dramas
are not just the thing the
kiddies should see as their
bedtime approaches. He
t.von wrntn a ltttla noem -'
to release his pent-up in
dignation: "Stag a song of TV ,
For the little ones:
Four and twenty jailbirds
Packing tommy-guns.
When the scene is finished
The blood is ankle deep.
: Now isn't that a pretty dish
To send the kids to sleep?"

Small Anti-Tank
Be
Tested in 1961
.. London-(Science Service)
Assessment trials of the Vig
ilant, a new type of anti-tank
.missile light enough to be
carried by one man, are plan
ned for early next year. Vig
ilant (short for the full desig
nation, visual guided infantry
light anti-tank weapon) has
'been developed over the past
3'A years as a nongovernment
iproject by Vickers - Arm
strongs (Aircraft) Ltd. It is a
wire-guided missile and has
no control box or other aux
iliary gear.
; The missile is launched
from' its carrying box and
guided by a hand-held sight
ing device, It is claimed to
be ready for instant use since
no field assembly or testing
is necessary. The total sys
itcm weighs about 45 pounds
and, in preliminary tests, it
has been succesfully dropped
with and operated by para
troops. 3 Million
: So far it has cost about $3
million to develop the mis
sile. Vickor-Armstrong be
came part of the British Air
craft Corporation in the rec
ent mergers affecting the
British aircraft industry, and
Eric Beverley of BAC said
his company hoped to achieve
mass, production of Vigilant
at low cost, it could oe in
service by mid-1081.
Beverley said that the U.S.
Government has shown "great
interest" in the weapon.
;? Not only is Vigilant a handy
Infantry weapon, but its small
size and weight make it read
ily adaptable for fitting to
light reconnaissance and other
fighting vehicles.
! Its special feature is its ac
curate and easily operated
control system. This solves
tthe costly training problem
normally necessary with small
anti-tank guided weapons,
The average soldier can learn
to use it quickly, five hours
' of simulator training being
normal. The easy-lo-learn con
trol syetem Is based on a
velocity control technique.
