The Army experiment, reported to have been made last week at the armed forces' missile test cen ter on the Florida coast, is be- lieved to have been an initial test of the behavior of a missile-like object without a warhead or other features of an actual weapon. The Pentagon declined to dis cuss the report. There were reasons to believe that the device was lobbed out some hundreds of miles along the seaward range from Patrick Air Force Base. The test device climbed on a high trajectory which carried it out of the dense atmosphere of the earth, then brought it back in the "re-entry" phase. The re-entry of an object traveling at thousands of miles an hour into the atmo sphere has been one of the major problems of ballistic missile de signers. Friction of air creates in tense heat. In this preliminary experiment, the Army presumably was more concerned with studying the ef ficiency of the fuels,- propellant system and the effect of re-entry than in obtaining accuracy. The Defense Department's spe cifications call for a 1,500-mile range for the IRBM. The Air Force is understood to plan for an initial test firing of its Thor intermediate range bal listic missile sometime after Octo ber. It probably will also be an ex perimental device.

It is "Sir Lancelot" which concerns the knights of King Arthur's Roundtable many centuries ago. Doubtless designed primarily for younger viewers, bir Lancelot actually appeals to anyone of any age who enjoys watching heroic action, filmed in England, this program unrolls a magnificent pageant of knights and castles, of jousting and broad swords. The producers appear to have spared no effort in recapturing the au thentic details of the days of chivalry. . The worst new comedy situa tion series of the season follows "Sir Lancelot" on NBC-TV. It Is 'Stanley." a disaster which has crashed around the portly person 01 Buddy Hackett.
