Vice President Johnson
Pledges Drive Against
Communist Aggression
NEW YORK Iff) — Vice Presi
dent Lyndon B. Johnson pledged
the Kennedy Administration yes
terday to a di’ive against ignor
ance, poverty and disease as de
termined as “our uncompromis
ing stand against Communist ag
gression itself.”
Those ills of man are the allies
without which Communism can
not succeed with its armed ag
gression and political subversion,
he said in a speech prepared for
the Lasker Awards Medical Jour
nalism luncheon.
“The transparent purpose of
the Communist strategists is to so
engage our energies and our re
sources that we neglect the very
works which won us world res
pect,” he said.
“Again, I speak with the ap
proval of the President of the
United States when I say Ameri
ca will not neglect — but will
pursue with greater vigor and
responsibility — the drive against
ignorance, poverty and disease
throughout the world.”
Johnson said that by armed ag
gression in Southeast Asia and
political subversion in Latin
America “the Communist con
spiracy is moving to prevent man
kind from finally attaining goals
now so clearly within reach.”
There is no English word that
rhymes with “oblige.”

AF Launches First
Titan Missile from
1 Inclergrouml
VANDENBERG AIR FORCE
BASE. Calif. — The Air Force
j has launched its first Titan mis
sile from underground — a step
j it terms a milestone in making
the United States too powerful
to attack.
The Titan, this country’s biggest
| missile, soared over the Pacific
Wednesday. Then, far at sea and
i high in the cloudless sky, it was
J purposely destroyed.
The test was to see if Titans
could be fired safely from silos
on hardened sites — the Air Force
terminology for so-called bomb
proof launching pads on bomb
proof bases.
The Air Force said the test
proved that Titans could stand
the tremendous pressures — in
cluding punishing sound waves—
which arise from missile firings
underground.
Great billows of flame rose
from the underground silo as the
countdown ended.
Then, with a thunderous roar,
the 98-foot, two-stage Titan rose
from the 146-foot-deep hole.
It climbed out of sight and was
blown up when it was about 40
miles at sea by a radio impulse
from the base.
