Antimissile Bullseye Tremendous
Technological Feat for United States
Washington - HOT - Just
week ago today Soviet Pre
mier N i k 1 1 a Khrushchev
boasted that Russia had a
missile which could hit a fly
In space. Now the United
States has come forth with a
flyswattcr of its own.
As if In deliberate answer
to the Russian claims, an
Army launch crew Thursday
sent a 48-foot Nike-Zeus anti
missile missile screaming alnlt
from Kwajelein atoll in the
Southwest Pacific.
Their target: the nose cone
of a huge Atlas intercontin
ental ballistic missile streak
ing out of the skies at 16,000
miles an hour.
Within minutes - possibly
three - the nose cone had
been Intercepted. In a war, it
would have been destroyed -"melted"
by the detonation of
the Nike-Zeus' nuclear charge.
The Nike-Zeus intercept
was a tremendous technologi
cal feat. It meant that both
the United States and Russia
now can make the same claims
about space flics. But it prob
ably also meant that both na
tions are a long way from
a sure-fire defense against
missiles.
Earlier Tail Failed
In" fact, the Pentagon art
mitted that there had been
an earlier shot in the Kwaje
lein series that was not suc
cessful.
The Nike-Zeus is so contro
versial that Defense Secretary
Robert S. McNamara has in
dicated only a real break
through In the current testing
aeries would convince him the
system should be fully de
veloped. Even so, the secretary was
described as delighted with
Thursday's shot. But he must
not have been too surprised.
He said last January that "I
think we can almost guaran
tee the success of our Kwaje
lein tests . . . because it is a
simple test."
In any case, the test was
not expected to have any ef
fect on the size of the Strate
gic Air Command, this coun
try's chief retaliatory force,
or on the controversy over the
RS70 supersonic strike plane.
These are offensive weap
ons, designed to carry the war
hack to an enemy, and there
by deter attack.
Unlike wartime, Thursday's
feat was carefully controlled.
The Atlas was launched from
Vandcnbcrg Air Force Base
in California, 4,500 miles
from Kwajelein, on a ballistic
trajectory known in advance
to the crew manning , the
Zeus out In the Pacific.
Information on the Atlas
flight was fed Into the anil
missile missile's computers,
and a short time later theljcstic bullseye, comparable,
intercept took place. some have said, to a bullet
Electronically it was a ma-1 hitting a bullet.

MORE THAN $1 BILLION RAISED FOR JEWISH RELIEF
Tel Avir - illPII - The United Jewish apptal In the
United Slates has raited more than S1.3 billion since the
fund-raising organisation was established in 1133, it was
announced Thursday.
UJA executive vice chairman Rabbi Herbert Friedman
said the money has been used primarily in resettling about
l.SOO.000 Jews in Israel and other countries. Relief work
has aided twice that number. Rabbi Friedman said.
CRIME RATE INCREASES IN LONDON
London-H'li-London'i crime rate in 1961 rote 4.5 per
cent over 1960. Scotland Yard Chief Sir Joseph Simpson re
ported Thursday.
"The mounting figures constitute a threat to society which
cannot be ignored." Simpson said in his annual report. The
report showed 196.854 indictable offenses here last year.
RUSSIA INCREASES INDUSTRY OUTPUT
Moscow-Wli-Soviet industry in the first half of 1962
boosted its output by 10 per cent and its labor productivity
by 6 per cent over the first six months of 1981, Tass said
today.
The Soviet news agency said both industrial and farm
outputs for the first half of this year were 3 per cent over
the planned quota.
WEST GERMANY DISMISSSES ATTORNEY GENERAL
Bonn-illl'luPresident Heinrich Luabke Thursday approved
the dismissal of West German Attorney General Wolfgang
Fraenkel, who served as Neil prosecutor at the Supreme
Court in Peipiig from 1940-43.
Fraenkel, 57, was fired last week because he concealed
his wartime activity as an assistant prosecutor.
Engineers Will Seek
To Unravel Mystery of
Ghost of Joe Baldwin
Maco, N.C.-lUPIl-On a murky night in 1863, the legend
goes, railroad fireman Joe Baldwin fell beneath the wheels
of a train while switching the tracks and was decapitated.
Since then, some folks in this small community near
Wilmington relate on every cloudy or rainy night, ' Ole Joe
returns to the place of his death to look for his head. Scores
of persons have sworn during the years that they have seen
the light from Joe's lantern, bobbing in the dark.
One of the witnesses, it Is said, was former President
Grnver Cleveland, who saw the mysterious light when his
train passed through the area.
Army engineers and investigators from the Smithsonian
Institution have sought to solve the mystery, without success.
Saturday, three North Carolina engineers, using modern
electronic equipment, will have their try.
The engineers, Bill Ward of a radio station in Charlotte;
C. E. Bennett III of Bell Laboratories, Burlington; and Larry
Gardner of a radio station in Raleigh, will use photo multi
pliers and audio amplifiers for converting light into sound
and a spectrascope for measuring light wave lengths.
The Smithsonian team worked on the theory the light
was caused by swamp gasscs or thermal rays but after an
extensive investigation, they said neither was the case and
gave up. The summary of the team's report: "Inconclusive."
Persons who have seen the light say It moves up and
down, indicating that wind may be a factor. Another expla
nation that failed to solve the riddle was that the glow was
the reflection of automobile headlights. The Army Corps of
Engineers put this theory to test by blocking off the area
for five miles. But the light remained.
But in this age of electronic
wonders, much can be done
with computers and gadgets.
McNamara's worry Is that
in a combat situation, the
Nike-Zeus would not be able
to differentiate between a
real missile and a decoy. Mis
sile decoys can be deployed
to fool radar just as World
War II bomber pilots dropped
chaff to accomplish the same
purpose.
But the Army, which nur
tured the Zeus during lean
and uncertain times, main
tains that the missile can de
tect the real thing because
the size and weight of an au
thentic nuclear warhead is
different from a decoy.
To Carry Decoys
One purpose of the current
Kwajelein tests is to check
out this theory. The tests may
run a year, and involve near
ly 50 shots. Toward the end
of the series, it has been said,
Atlas rockets will carry de
coys in an effort to throw off
the Nike-Zeus.
But even if all these tests
are successful, McNamara
may need further convincing
before deciding to spend
another $10 million to situate
Nike-Zeus sites around
American cities and indus
trial complexes.
He has told Congress, for
example, that "in actual com
bat we could expect a greater
number of missiles, and mis
sile of varying types, which
the system might or might
not be effective against. In
any case, its effectiveness
under combat conditions will
not have been proven by the
Kwajelein tests."

Marshall May
Have Rescinded
Estes Crackdown
Washington -ll'PH-An ousted
federal farm official suggested
today that the late Henry H.
Marshall may have rescinded
his crackdown on Billie Sol
Estes' cotton allotment trans
fers because of pressure from
superiors.
William P. Mattox, who de
scribed Marshall as a "good
friend," also suggested as an
alternative that Marshall may
have believed amended regu
lations ultimately would bring
justice to farmers who made
illegal transfer to Estes.
Muttox testified for the sec
ond day at the Senate investi
gation of Estes' operations.
Marshall, program specialist
for the Texas Agriculture Sta
bilization and Conservation
Committee, died from gunshot
wounds in June, 1961. His
death originally was ruled a
suicide but the Texas Rangers
announced Thursday that they
are Investigating on the as
sumption it was murder.
Mattox, former vice chair
man of the Reeves County,
Texas, ASC Committee, was
removed from that post for
accepting expenses from Estes'
for a trip to Washington.
A self-styled "country boy"
from Estes' home town of
Pecos, Tex., Mattox Thursday
accused Agriculture Secretary
Orville L. Freeman of seeking
to transfer blame for the Estes
case to scapegoats at the local
level.
American Home
Graham's Topic
Fresno, Calif. -IUPD- Evange
list Billy Graham Thursday
night warned that the disinte
gration of the American home
endangers the future of Amer
ican civilization.
The North Carolina minis
ter told a crowd of 26,000 that
"The problems of the home
will never be solved until we
get back to the laws of God
regulating marriage."
He said that when the home,
the basic unit of any society,
begins to crumble, then that
society is on the way to disin
tegration. Graham said the evidence
of the eroding U.S. family unit
is overwhelming. He cited the
nation's rising rate of divorce,
separations and annulments.
"Nor does the divorce rec
ord reveal the vast number of
unfaithful husbands and wives
whose extra-marital relations
place them in the class of adul
terers about whom Jesus said
there was no place in the
kingdom of Heaven."

Festival Founder
Speaks at Rotary
Presentational acting, the
type seen on the stage at Ash
land during the Shakespear
ean Festival, is on a heroic
scale that transcends life.
This observation was made
before the Medford Rotary
club Tuesday by Dr. J. H.
Crouch, professor of English
at Colorado university.
The well-known lecturer
and founder of Colorado's
Shakespeare Festival of Boul
der, is now in southern Ore
gon directing "Coriolanus,"
one of the series of Elizabeth
an plays plays to be presented
at Ashland.
Speaking at the Rogue Vat
ley Country club, Dr. Crouch
pointed out that presentation
al acting afforded "privilege
communication" between the
audience and the actor, aid
ed by the familiar soliloquy.
When an audience participates
in a presentational - type play
there is a continual remind
er of being in a theater. The
representational approach to
acting, however, gives an au
dience the illusion of peep
ing through a keyhole at life.
Elizabethan acting fills an
evening for the viewer while
late television movie empties
the evening, Dr. Crouch observed.
