Wednesday, Feb. 17, Iflfif) PAGE 3 A U.S. Space, Missile, Defense Effort Given Careful Appraisal By Vriter By CHARLES CORDDRY WASHINGTON (UPI) The United States lags behind Russia in the missile and space race by choice in fact, by default. This country has the ingredients for dizzying progress if it wants to use them. It has know-how in abundance. And it has created a broad space age scientific and production base through a multi-billion dollar in vestment in rocketry over the past six years. How fast America's present dramatic advances in science and technology are put to practical use in the space-missile field will depend on money limits and politi cal judgments on what is needed. There appears to be no limit on what could be spent. These are conclusions gained in a 6,000-mile tour covering some major research and production centers in the missile-space vehi cle field. The tour moved through a world seldom seen by any but its own military, science and in dustry inhabitants a world of wind tunnels, rocket test stands, electronic computers, production lines and space medicine laboratories. Sample comments from officials interviewed: D. A. Young, former head of the space technology program for the Pentagon's Advanced Re search Projects Agency and now long-range planning director for Aerojet-General Corp. Future problems in the missile field are not technical but political and economic. Never in the past 10 years have we strained our tech nology. S. K. Hoffman, general manag er of North American Aviation's rocket engine division The gov ernment can command whatever it wants in rocket power for mis siles and space vehicles W. L. Young, operations manag er of Convair-Astronautics Divi sion of General Dynamics Corp. Atlas intercontinental ballistic missiles could be produced at twice the present rate with rela tively small additional effort. Maj. Gen. O. J. Ritland, com mander of the Air Force Ballistic Missile Division Military space vehicles should not be developed with the same priorities that en abled the United States to develop its first intercontinental ballistic missile in just five years. Another official said an air- launched ballistic missile to be carried by jet bombers could be produced on extremely short schedules though still in the study stage. Nowhere was there any question about this country's ' ability to do more in the space-missile field. The question raging in Washing ton and being debated across the country is whether what is being done now is adequate in view of Russian progress. Election year political contro versy and new Russian rocket tri umphs have combined to raise a huge question mark over the ade quacy of all U.S. defense plans. Democrats vociferously picture the nation as facing a period of mortal peril in the years immedi ately ahead. They and other crit ics foresee a "gap" between U.S. and Soviet missile streneth that could threaten American survival, budget for fiscal 1961. This repre- nepuoucans just as aggressive ly picture the United Slates "sec ond to none" in military power. Whether there is a "missile gap" or not, the Eisenhower adminis tration says, there will be no gap in this country's varied and ver satile overall power to deter Rus sian attack. The debate got under way in mid-January when President Ei senhower sent Congress his new 41-billion-dollar defense spending '"HARGI IT" 1 the advnntages use Your Present l of a regular charge, rl "S.V!. n.n an 1 account PLUS the optlonA I SKI. -r- I SRC Todayl I I Sears appr''e I 1 Your business and I 1 wonts to moke your I I shopping more con- I 1 yenient than ever be- I I fore!

The new budget was followed by administration disclosure of new intelligence estimates revising downward the numbers of ballistic missiles Russia is expected to have in the next three years. De fense Secretary Thomas S. Gates Jr. testified the estimates were based on "more refined and bet ter evaluated" data on Russian missile progress than was availa ble last year. Democrats, led by Sen. Stuart Symington (D-.Mo.), an unavowed candidate for the presidential nomination, accused the adminis tration of "juggling" the intelli gence books. The great defense debate in Congress already has developed these conclusions: Republicans and Democrats agree that, right now, the United States is ahead of Russia in stra tegic striking power and can de ter Russia from global war. Both sides agree Russia will have more intercontinental ballis tic missiles than this country over the next three years. Republicans contend it will be a "moderate" superiority. The Democrats con tend it will be far worse than pic-1 tured by tho administration. Installation Chief Named CORVALLIS (AP) Col. Leon Gray will take command of the SAGE installation at nearby Camp Adair Feb. 25, the Air Force announced Tuesday. The SAGE unit, a link in the nation's pushbutton air defense system, is one of four planned for the Northwest.
