1&8 miles northwest of Los Ange

end of a training program.
The SAC was recently assigned
the job of training missile crews
and sending them to bases abroad.
Power said the missiles will be
fired over the “complete range,”
which nominally 'is 5,000 miles,
and added the firing range will
extend well bfeyond the Hawaiian
Islands.

anyone. The tests will be conduct
ed, he said, with the same caution
exercised during tests at Cape
Canaveral, Florida.
