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.

une NAtu ally, reportedly has de
veloped a new type of observation
plane that could "survey" huge
areas of the Soviet in a few min
utes. 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.

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. His

father, an oculist, died when he
was 10. , ,
Of his mother he once said "She
was a Pennsylvania quaker, and
from her I learned that there ii
no substitute for hard work no
short cuts." . '
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."
