' WASHINGTON (AP) A new
estimate by American authorities
of Soviet missile-bomber progress
gives the Reds a lower rating
than half a year ago.
An assessment last spring in
dicated substantial leads by the
Soviets in several fields.
Responsible sources said the
relative, over-all position of the
United States in ballistic missiles
now appears to have improved.
. In manned bombers this coun
try retains what the analysts con
sider a clear superiority.
, Soviet Premier Nikita Khrush
chev's recent claim of an inter
continental ballistic missile cap
able of 8.700-mile range does not
seem to have influenced this re
evaluation. Nor are the analysts
ready to accept completely re
ports that the Soviet Union is fly
ing a nuclear-powered bomber.
.. The United Stales may hot have
a high performance nuclear
bomber-flying for another five to
eight years.
In the case of the' 1CBM. U.S.
authorities make these points:
Khrushchev speaking to U. S.
Sen. Hubert Humphrey (D-Minn)
in Moscow, did not appear to have
claimed that the Soviet Union had
fired a' missile 8.700 miles but
merely said it had a missile cap
able of such range.
Navy Slashes
Missile Slate
WASHINGTON (A'P)-Cosls and
weapons advances have triggered
a sweeping Navy cutback in shore
establishments- and spelled the
end to a major -missile program.
To keep pace with cutdowns in
its operating. forces, the Navy said
Thursday night, SO ground bases
in 17 states will be closed, reduced
or merged. .
The announcement spoke of ris
ing prices .and higher labor costs.
About 0,000 civilian jobs will be
abolished over the ;flext several
; years.
Canceled after an outlay of 78
million dollars was the Regulus
II guided missile program. The
air-breathing missile can -soar
more than 1,000 miles at twice the
speed of sound. It flew in about
40 successful tests.
The Navy figured that by jetti
soning Regulus II ' now it could
save more than 100 million dollars
for other projects. It said ballistic
missiles shot more like bullets
have better potential than the
air-breathers guided like- puotless
planes.
The Navy is now developing the
Polaris 1.500-mile range ballistic
missile. Like the Regulus, the
Polaris could be fired with a nu
clear warhead from submarines.
F. O. Detweiler, president of
Chance Vought Aircraft Inc.
which held the Regulus develop
ment contract,, said the cancella
tion will leave a void that cannot
be filled by any other "weapon in
existence or planned.". He blamed
the Navy action solely on budget
limits. '

The second generation Ameri
can ICBM. the Titan, is expected
uy its designers to be able to
reach out as far as the reported
soviet weapon. The first U. S
ICBM. the Atlas, has soared 6.325
miles.
The true test of a ballistic mis
sile is more of accuracy than
range, American military men
claim.
Maj. Gen. Bernard A. Schriever
chief of the Air Force's Ballistic
Missile Division, gave a summary
of relative American and Soviet
positions in ballistic missiles last
month before the Khrushchev-
Humphrey meeling.
Schriever said:
At the moment, the Soviet
Union appears to have an ad
vantage in ballistic missiles :of
under 1,000-mile ranee. The situa
tion was less clear on 1,500-mile
intermediate range ballistic mis
siles. But Schriever said the
American Thor and Jupiter
lRB.Ms have been quite success
ful in recent tests. , ,
As for the ICBM. he said, "we
have no reason to believe that the
Russians are appreciably ahead
of us" in development. He added
"it is possible that both countries
will achieve initial operational
capability of ICBMs at about the
same time." ,
In long-range strategic bombers
Pentagon, officials insist that the
United States holds superiority
even though the number of
bombers might total more on the
oviet side.
What counts, thtv sav. is the
ability of'bombers to get. to target
and the whole complex weapons
system of target selection; strike
technique and refueling that goes
with the bombers. ',.
There, has been a recent flurry
of reports about a new Soviet
bomber.
It could have been this aircraft
which gave rise to published re
ports that the Soviet Union was
flying an atomic-powered plane.
President Eisenhower in a news
conference said we have no evi
dence of this.
..'.Reports from '. outside ...Washing
Inn do not rule out the possibility
that some form of nuclear power
may be In the new test Soviet
bomber. One suggestion is that
the Russians may be carrying a
nuclear reactor into the air, as
the United States did a few years
ago to test radiation and other
features of an atomic ? reactor
aboard an airplane.
However, these outside reports
describe the mysterious Soviet
plane as of unusual shape and
obviously a new design. If -the
Russians merely wanted to test
radiation they would not be ex.
fleeted to design an entirely new
air frame for that purpose.
These reports indicated the
Soviet plane might use regular jet
engines, although possibly ol very
high power.-

Boy Angry;
Tells Fib
DENVER AP) Bennie Hur-
tado, 10, told the policeman he
had been kidnaped ' but he
hadn't really. It was jUst that he
was angry with Santa Claus.
.When. Bennie spied .a- pair- of
blue jeans which his parents had
bought, he thought that was his
Christmas present instead of a toy
machine gun which he'd asked
Santa to bring.
Bennie headed a different direc
tion when school let out. He
walked for nearly four hours be
fore stopping a service station
attendant and asking him to call
the police.
"I was kidnaped by three men
in a car." Bennie told Dep. Sher
iff Bob Elliott.
Then Bennie admitted it was a
fib. Elliott took the tired young
ster home, where a toy machine
gun. is waiting for Christmas. '
.The combined slate police
forces in the United States today
total almost 22.000 men.
