I f If ' M ' ONE WAY TO CIRCUMVENT possible KO of U.S. missile bases by the Russians would be to placa the rockets on railroad cart, thereby keeping launching sites mobile, say fop defense experts. Shown here is the Polaris, one of the nation's top weapons. " U.S. Risks 'Missile Gap' To Prevent Sneak Attack ' WASHINGTON (NEA) This Hie plain, unvarnished truth about the "missile gap." Defense Department strategists have decided the first interconti nental missiles the U.S. is building could be knocked out by a Rus sian sneak attack, leaving the U.S. naked. , ' This Is the real reason the U.S. has decided to risk a "missile gap" in an attempt to leapfrog ahead of the Russians with an of fensive missile system so deadly the Reds won t dare start - a ar. This assumes the defense won't be able to keep up with the offense scientifically. It assumes that if war comes, the Reds will be able . to destroy major U.S. cities. But it assumes the retaliation would be so terrible that Khrushchev won t let a war start. ' Defense Department planners expect that any war would start with a Pearl Harbor a hard Rus aian attack without a declaration of war. They calculate that in the first wave the Reds would knock out a good share of the U.S. fixed missile sites. "In democracy there'i no way of keeping them secret," says one Pentagon, general wryly. i So what to do? The three- pronged answer as pentagonians tee it: First Find some way to pre vent the first Red attack from destroying the bulk of the U.S. missile force. Best answer, say Pentagon men, ' Is to keep the U.S. missiles on the move. Then no one will know where they are. So military strate gists plan to put the ICMBs on trains, on ships, perhaps even on trucks. Then move the missiles regularly. That's why defense men want to hurry up the Minuteman mis sile. It can be mounted and fired from trains or ships doesn't need a fixed site. Add this to the Polaris missile, mounted on submarines which would be kept moving from spot , to spot. ' Then push development of the 1.000-mile Bold Orion missile which could be fired from big bombers which, in turn, could be shifted from base to base. Major problems: There are still I lot of bugs in the Minuteman and Bold Orion. Submarines at sea can't yet tell where they are accurately enough to fire a Po laris on target. Shilling the big . bombers from base to base is no easy task. Second Find some accurate early tipoff system so that U.S. missiles could be off and into the air minutes after the Red missiles were launched he well on their way before the Red missiles ar rived. i Pentagon scientists now think It will be practical from a satellite to "sec" a missile by rnlra-red at the moment of blasting off. This might give American mis-l sile men 20 minutes to get U.S missiles off the ground and on the way providing no. one makes a mistake. There's a strong group in the Pentagon which figure this first retaliatory wave should be bomb ers carrying 1,000-mile Bold Orion missiles. Their argument: if the spy satellite report is a mistake, then the planes can be called back. But an intercontinental bal listic missile once launched is gone. Record Set By Visitors LAKEVIEW-Public use of the national forests of the Pacific .Northwest Region for recreation reached an all-time high in 1958. uccording to a recent announce ment by Regional Forester J. Her jert Stone. Crowding and over use of the recreation facilities of these for-.-sts continued to be a major con- '-crn ol the region. Field offices reported that during i!to approximately 7.815.O0O per sons visited these national forests This involved 10,122.000 days of nan-use. Recreation visits have ncrcased 71 per cent since 1954 ind in 1958 alone, the rate jumped in per cent. In this same year nationwide vis its to the national forests in creased by 12 per cent, according lo a recent release from the Unit ed States Department of Agricul ture. Regional Forester Stone said that approximately 42 per cent of the visits were made to camp and pic nic sites. These two types of areas accommodated 3.297,000 people in 1958, compared to the 2,770,000 vis its in 1957. Objectives Outlined State President Dick Boubel Corvallis, Sportsmen Pilots of Oregon, present for the banquet meeting of the local chapter May 2. spoke on objectives of the sru in Oregon. He was accom panied by Mrs. Boubel. ine speaker credited the Klam ath Chapter with being the most active in the state; outlined plans for expansion of the flying group to include all areas in Oregon and an registered pilots, in busi ness, and private categories, and in some instances commercial fliers. The proposal to rename the sku using the new title, Oregon r-nois Association, will be ore. sented to all chapters in the slate. it majur uruuicms: me inira-rea.it was passed witn a unan immis viewing spy satellite is some time vole By the Corvallis ChaDter. off. Meanwhile, there's hope that!

In emergencies, task forces of these planes could comb Russia in waves, looking for blast offs. -,- How to tell the emergencies? uctensc men claim the massive preparations the Soviet would have to make would tip off the U.S five days before anyll-out war it would.be during those five days that the ispy, planes, presumably wouia operate. Third Concentrate on key So viet targets with literally thou sands of missiles. Minutemcn when perfected will be relatively cheap. Thus thousands are practi cal. Strange as it seems, the Reds would have certain disadvantages in a sneak attack. They would have to hit not only major U.S. cities but thousands of missile sites in the first wave. The U.S. could concentrate all its force on Soviet industry and Soviet cities. There d be no need to hit So viet missile sites in the first wave," says one U.S. general. Presumably they'd be empty: the Soviet missiles would have been fired and gone." This would make it possible for the U.S., even after being at tacked, to concentrate maybe as many as five times as many 'mis siles on the major Soviet targets as the Soviets would .he able to concentrate on U.S. ctics as suming by then the U.S. has as many missiles as the Soviets. For the bulk of the Soviet missiles will have to be aimed at U.S. mis sile sites to attempt to fend oif retaliation. Pentagon defense men think this simple arithmetic will be enough to give the most fool-hardy Rus sian pause. JUST IN TIME STONE CITY. Colo. (UPI1-C. A.

Chief Of Steel Company Believes In Hard Work NEW YORK (AP) The new president of . the U.S. Steel Corp. s a big, graying engineer who believes there's only one way to get ahead hard work, His associates agree that 58- year-old Walter F. Munford is a hard worker, but they say he also has a friendly manner, a sense of reserve that comes from his New England upbringing, a skill in del egating authority and a kback for inspiring confidence in subordi nates. Munford put his formula of hard work in practice early. He worked nights and vacations in a wire mill to pay his way through college first at the Worcester Polytechni cal Institute, then at Massachu setts Institute of Technology. After college he took a fling at a sailor's life, shipping out as an ordinary seaman. He was strand ed in Barcelona and came back as third cook, peeling potatoes all the way. He went back to the steel business and has been with it ever since. Thirty-six years ago he joined U.S. Steel's wire division. He be gan as a helper in the open hearth department at the South Works in his native Worcester, Mass. Tuesday he was elected presi dent of the firm, the nation's big gest steel producer. He succeeds Clifford F. Hood, who retired aft er reaching 65. Munford will have his headquarters in Pittsburgh. U.S. Steel's board chairman, Roger Blough, 55, remains the corporation's chief executive offi cer. Munford is chief administra tive officer. Big Steel's new president is 6 feet 2 and 210 pounds. In. high school he won letters in football, track and hockey. But he didn't have much time for athletics at. college. He was too busy. During vacations he worked as long as 13 hours a day, six days a week at the Worcester plant to pay college expenses and help support his widowed mother.

' The formula worked well. Four years after starting as a helper Munford was made superintendent of the open hearth department at the U.S. Steel wire division's New burgh plant in Cleveland. After that he was assistant su perintendent of the National Tube division's steel works at Lorain, Ohio; assistant superintendent and later, superintendent of the 'wire division's Cuyahoga works in Cleveland, and, in 1939, assistant manager of operations for the Pittsburgh district. He was named operations man ager of the Worcester district in 1942, became assistant vice presi dent for operations in 1345, vice president of the wire division in 1950 and president of that division in '1953. Three years later he was named assistant executive vice president of U.S. Steel, and became execu tive vice president for engineer ing and research last year. Tues day he was elected a director and chairman of the executive com mittee, two bodies on which his predecessor also serves."
