Falcon Guided Missiles (Continued from Page 1) operational airplane in super sonic flight was a Pratt and Whitney J-47. Later, tho Im proved J-57 sped throe F-101 Voodoos to a 1(157 continental speed ran record. It flew anoth er F-101 to a world speed record in that year when the craft reached a blistering ' 1,207.8 miles per hour. In 1959, the larger J-75 engine powered an K-Ioti to a speed record of 1,525.9 miles per hour on a straightaway course. All the "J" engines are man ufactured by Pratt and Whit ney's East Hartford, Conn., '"plant. All 14 of the nation's sharp shooting fighter squadrons com peting in William Tell 1963 were equipped with Hughes Air craft electronic control systems and Falcon air-to-air guided mis siles. Tho squadrons were equipped with Improved armament con trol systems under an Air Force modification program now un derway. Scheduled for all Air Pefcnsc Command interceptors, . the modifications include the ad dition of an infrared search and track system that provides hel ler detection of targets at low altitudes. ; More than 40.000 tactical Fal con guided missiles have been delivered to the U.S. Air Force f inre the first production mod els cleared the assemhly line in 1954. Work actually began on the project in 1947, when t h e Air Force became an Independ ent service. The missile has a solid propcllant rocket motor and a high explosive warhead with the wallop of a heavy ar tillery shell. The Falcon Is Intended for launching from an aircraft at NEW MOEN DIALCET FOR KITCHENS One handle does work of two Friesen-Welman Co. 1713 Main St. TU 2-633) I I It'll another aircraft. It Is self-steering and makes Its own control surface adjustments to maintain an accurate trajectory. Falcons are of two basic types: Radar guided and infra red seeking. A radar guided Falcon "homes" on its target by means of electronic waves between tho launching interceptor's radar system and the target plane. A lieat seeking Falcon is at tracted to its target by radiat ed heat energy and Is particu larly effective at distinguishing targets at low altitudes. King sley used tho second typo at William Tell. Every version of the Falcon Is equipped with a warhead pow erful enough to knock down any known aircraft. Coupled with armament control systems, these missiles enable a pilot to seek out and destroy a target in any kind of weather, day or night . . . and the pilot need never even sec his enemy. Even with good planes, ac curate missiles and rockets, and good aircrews and support main tenance )eoplc, everybody would have been kind of "stuck" without anything to siioot at. The William Tell "ap ples" were Firebce drones, made by Hyatt Aircraft. They were air and ground launclied into a Gulf of Mexico filing range, where interceptors were then scrambled to attack them. The drones did their work well even to the extent of appear ing electronically as an attack ing enemy bomber. Being quite small, they were rarely hit and knocked down. Klngsley did hit them a number of times, and one aircrew finally punched one out of the sky and earned a "drone killer" plaque. Wlien all was over and the smoke had disappeared. Kings ley was second in F-101B com petition. Due largely to Kings ley's indomitable spirit, the 408th Fighter Group today has runnerup trophies from McDon nell Aircraft and a Richard I. Bong trophy. In addition, Capts. George Greaves and Newt Ack er have their "drone killer" plaques. So Kingsley, a little bit like the New York Mcts, is yelling "look out lor the 408th next time!" But significantly unlike the Mcts. Kingslcy finished this year very far from tlic cellar. In fact, the base can pride it self because the triind is the second best F-I01B fighter squadron in the business, jfi -u ixi4 - ft 11 . 1 observors Mai. rrank K.

Snow blowers, considered lit tle more than gimmicks a few seasons ago, will be more Hip ular tlvan ever this winter in northern areas. Uist year's hail) winter and regular news items about heart attacks induced by shoveling will take the snow blower out of tlic novelty and status sym bol class. Most snow rcmov ing ma chines are of tle blower type However, a bulldozer blade can be attached to a small tractor or powered plow ami this will push tlic snow aside But if you set out to buy snow removal equipment, it will be of tlie blower tie. Instead of merely pushing the snow aside these machines scoop up t h e snow, bifak it up and toss it out a discharge lul. IValcis ami manufacturers indulge in a good deal of dou ble talk when describing capa city. S.i) ing a snow machine - will handle .100 shovelfuls a minute means nothing when you consider that capacity can vary with depth of snow, wheth er it is wet or dry and flutty, and if it's an uphill push. Look for features you can see and measure. rienly of Push hen you shop around you will find both self-propelled or push type. Self-propelled provides power to tlie wheels as well as the blade, so that all you do is guil it. With a push model the power is to the blade only, you push the machine into tlie snow ami keep it moving. R i g g e s t price dilfcrence I comes when you go from t h e push type to tlie self-propelled. Blade widths vary anywhere from 18 inches to ;H incites. It you are buying a push type, stick to the smaller sues. Gaso line engines lor tltcse machines also vary. Figure on 'about three hoi scpimtT or lietter. MOSCOW (UPll - On Oct. 22 of last year, English philoso pher Lord Bertrand Russell grimly predicted: "We all may be dead in a few days." Weapons-carrying Soviet ships were sailing on a collision Khrushchev Retreat Saved War WASHINGTON (UPll - One year ago this weekend Soviet Premier Nikita Khrushchev peered into the depths of the in ferno as Secretary of State Dean Rusk called it and drew back in alarm. He had stood at the brink of a nuclear war which President Kennedy was ready to fight be cause Khrushchev had clandes tinely armed Fidel Castro's Cu ba with long-range nuclear mis siles ready to be launched at the heart of America from secretly built bases. What Khrushchev saw won from him a swift agreement to withdraw his missiles and dis mantle his bases. In return he got from the President a pledge that Cuba would net be in vaded a pledge that had been given many times before. The agreement was readied in an exchange of messages be tween the Kremlin and the While House during the night of Oct. 27 and the early morning hours of Oct. 28. Week Of Agony Thus ended tile most agoni zing week since World War II. Mankind had trembled in the half world between war and peace while awaiting Khrush chev's response to the ring of steel the President had drawn around Cuba. Kennedy also had made it clear that the U. S. naval and air quarantine was only one of more and tougher steps he was prepared to take. One year later officials here and in other Allied capitals are convinced the Soviet backdown marked a turning point in the East-West struggle which may prove to have permanent ef fects. It is still too early to pin point Khrushchev's gamble to achieve "nuclear parity" by es tablishing missile bases just 90 miles off the U. S. coast as the high tide of Soviet penetra tion of the Western Hemisphere. It is clear, however, that it drastically altered the course of the cold war in tho year im mediately following the confron tation in which the Russian leader, not the President, back ed away.

It was "eve ball in eyeball" in the words of U. S. Secretary of State Dean Rusk. Now, an eventful 12 months later, Moscow Radio hails Presi dent Kennedy's decision to sell wheat to the Soviet Union with the comment, "The ice of the cold war is breaking up." It has been quite a passage of time. Desperate Efforts A year ago this month, the Kremlin and White House lights burned night-long as the Presi dent and Premier Nikita Khru shchev talked at and to each other by private code and pub lic radio broadcasts in a des perate effort to avoid the point of no return. Today, the two statesmen most responsible for the fate of the world have a "hot line" teletype within elbow's reach for instantaneous communica tion in any grave emergency. The President has asked for and brought about a reassess ment of American policy to wards the Soviet Union, and Khrushchev has been placed in the paradoxical position of a Communist leader defending American integrity and good faith to his erstwhile Chinese comrades. There are few contemporary historians on cither side of the Iron Curtain who do not regard the showdown over Cuba as one of the decisive factors in the turn of the cold war. "The first sprouts of interna tional confidence" was how Khrushchev characterized the conclusion of the partial nu clear test ban last summer as he proceeded to remind the Chinese that after a nuclear war "the survivors will envy the dead." Propaganda Victory The Kremlin made propagan da capital in the Communist world by claiming that what the West regarded as an ill - con ceived missile venture saved Cuba from invasion. Khrushchev was able to snatch a propaganda victory from the jaws of near disaster to be hailed by all Communist spokesmen other than the Chinese as the savior of world peace. Contrary to some opinion abroad, his stock among the So vict people has risen and his position in the Kremlin hier archy with it. The Sino-Sovict conflict had been long in the making, but the Cuban crisis hastened what appeared to be the inevitable split of the Communist bloc. The bitter recent exchange of Moscow-Peking statements has made clear that the Chinese have opposed every one of Khrushchev's efforts at East West rapproachemcnt. tion center that will save the busy homemaker many useless steps. Breakfast corner is in an "out of the way" location. Lo cation of the extra lavatory is another "step and wear" saver for a quick clean-up job after outdoor chores or easy access from kitchen and basement.
