(Continued from Page One)
her husband advised her to shoot
first and ask questions later if she
should see the housebreaker.
Mrs. Woodward said she was
wakened around 3 a.m. by the
barking of her dog. Grabbing the
shotgun, she crept to her bedroom
door. Across the hall at the door
of her husband’s room she saw a
moving shadow.
Without calling any warning,
she fired and her husband toppled
to the floor, the right side of his
head blasted by the shot.
“Almost immediately I realized
it was my husband,” the widow
told police. “I ran to him and fell
on the floor beside him.”

Guided Missiles
For U.S. Ships Is
Navy of Future
CHICAGO, UP) — A high Navy
official said more U. S. cruisers
will be armed with guided mis
siles. He also said “the battle
ship may have a new future” as
a robot weapon vessel.
Undersecretary Thomas S. Gates
noted in a speech to the Naval Re
serve Assn, that two cruisers are
about ready to rejoin the fleet
after being remodeled as guided
missile ships.
“These,” he said, “will be the
first visible confirmation of the
advent of the missile launched
from combat ships, perhaps- the
most potent future weapon of the
Navy.”
Gates said the heavy guided
missile Cruiser Boston will be
commissioned in Philadelphia on
Nov. 1 and the Canberra “is only
a few months behind her” in the
conversion process.
In addition to the Boston and
the Canberra, the Navy has an
nounced plans to convert the light
cruiser Galveston and to build
three new frigates as missile ships.
One guided missile submarine,
the Tunny, is in service. A second,
the Barbero, was commissioned
October 21.
