Army Ordered To
Knock Down Atlas
ICBM In Practice
v
WASHINGTON, UP) — The De
fense Department has ordered the
Army to test its weapons against
swift intercontinental ballistic
missiles instead of the slower in
termediate-range rockets.
Atlases to be used as targets
will be fired from Vandenberg
Air Force Base, Calif.
As the target missile travels
past the area of Kwajalein Island
in the Marshall Island group —
about 4,800 miles from Vanden
berg—a Zeus will be shot aloft
in an attempt to destroy it.
The Army claims Zeus radars
will detect incoming missies while
they are still several hundred
miles away. Computers in the
Zeus system, acting on radar in
formation, automatically will
launch and guide the Zeus to the
interception point.
Barr'w Natives Celebrate
Catehing of 15 Whales
Frank Whaley, tour director
for Wien Airlines, who was here
yesterday reports that Barrow
has been having a series of whale
celebrations as it is the first time
in three years that any whale
have been caught. So far 15 big
[ bow heads have been brought in.
As many as 1.500 people have
been celebrating at a time with
villagers arriving over the sea ice
by dogteam and by plane.
The Nalukatuk is a continuous
affair, he states, with blanket
tossing starting at 9 in the mor
ning and continuing until almost
midnight.
As each whale has between 700
and 800 strips of baleen, the tour
ists are having a big time taking
home these strips as trophies.
As for the popular black muk
uk, it is being handed out by the
hunters in huge amounts.
The winter larder of natural
cold storage is also well filled,
already with the choice parts of
the whale.
Whaley also stated that the
tourist trade which has been lag
ging in this area the past monh
will pick up considerably in July.
John Manley. Alaska district
agent for the New York Life In
surance Agency, is here for a few
