Armv’s Jupiter and
A.F. Thor Rocket
Testing Continues
WASHINGTON, UP> — Secre
tary of Defense Wilson says 'that
“for the t’>e b^in"” Votin" “will
go forward” on bovh the Army’s
Jupiter intermediate range 'bal
listic missile and the Air Force’s
Thor IRBM.
Wilson said this ‘"■^dnesday
nisbt in a statement iri*ended to
clarify his Tuesday news confer
ence remark that the Jupiter
project in effect “is cancelled.”
“Selection of the missile to be
employed will be made at a later
date,” Wilson said.
The Army and Air Force have
been racing to develop an oper
ational missile capable of carry
ing a nuclear warhead to targets
1,500 miles away. The Army has
conducted one successful test
firing of the Jupiter. The Air
Force’s first test of its Thor failed.
After the Armv had complained
'+o Wilson, the Defense Secretary
S3id formally that “perhaps” his
statements about the Juphor “had
been somewhat misinterpreted.”
Wilson said he had “intended to
convey” that only one IRBM will
be considered for operational use.
Late April Ne^» na Break
Predicted af+e’* 4T:\inny
Winter’ Th'^c
By D. F. TUCKER
That time of the year is here
again when man’s judgment on
weather conditions are a thing of
value. There is a small under
current of excitement here at
Nenana this year. The weather
has been fairly warm the last few
! weeks, and an unusual amount of
snow fall, something we have not
seen in many a year. The Nenana
Ice Classic tripod is being erected
today under the watchful eye of
many an oldtimer such as Charlie
Gries, TC. Olsbn, Ray Fredricks,
Fred Mueller, and Butch Brun
ei age. I 'measured the ice at the
location of the tripod. It was 23
inches, with approximately 30
inches of packed snow on top and
a good 8 feet of water below the
ice. Th:s is something new, for
many years previous there has
been up o 40 inches of ice and
only 3 to 4 feet of water under
neath. Charlie Gries believes it
looks like a late April breakup.
Have talked to many of the In
dian residents here and they say
it is a funny winter. Will have
more to report in a few days.

WASHINGTON, UP) — Soviet
Ambassador Zarubin or anybody
else, can get some official U. S.
weather data tabbed “for military
use only.”
All he has to do is telephone
the Defens^ Department and ask
for Extension 79355. Back comes
a recording of the latest weather
report from nearby Bolling Air
Force Base, giving a 24-hour fore
cast and such details as ceiling,
visibility, wind and tempera
ture.
“This information,” says a
voice at the conclusion of the
automatic 55-second recording,
“is for military use only and dis
semination to the public is not
authorized.”
Chairman Moss (D-Calif.) of the
House Government Information
Subcommittee made public a
letter to Defense Secretary
Wilson asking how a verbal secre
cy label “can be applied to infor- *
matiqn which virtually anyone
in the world can obtain automat
ically by mereN calling the Pen
tagon from the corner drugstore
or from the Kremlin itself.”
Mpss, who has been critical of
government information policies,
asked, “Do the recorded weather
reports involve military security?”
Moss said if this was the case,
he wanted to know under what
legal authority such reports may
be withheld from the public.
Mpss said the extensibn number
is printed on the fron* of the
Defense Department telephone
book and that the book is “avail
able to anyone who wants to look,
at it.”
