&. 18 Types Of Guided Missiles Are Now Listed By Defense Department By ELTON C. FAY WASHINGTON (# — An official Defense Department catalogue of weapons shows the United states has ‘at least 18 types of guided | officers had been allowed to say little or nothing. Among the guided missiles men- tioned were’ these: Antiaircraft: the Nike (Army); missiles in use, in production or | the Terrier and Talos, two models under test. This fact eropped up, probably unintentionally, when a depart- ment production report was includ- ed Tuesday among a file of rou- tine daily orders and communica- tions given to newsmen. The report bore no secrecy label. The report also identified sev- eral new types of jet planes, about which department public relations (Navy). Bombardment (surface - to - sur- face): Corporal (Army); Matador and Shark (Air Force); Regulus (Navy). Plane - to - ground attack: the Dove, Petrel, Gorgon V (Navy); the Rascal B63 (Air Force). Plane - against plane: Falcon F98 (Air Force); three models of the Sparrow, the Oriole, the Side- winder (Navy). The Army’s Nike, the -report showed, has gone through seven stages of redesigning since-the first model of the antiaircraft weapon was tested about two years ago. The new A7 model seemed to be what Gen. Matthew Ridgway, | Army chief of staff, referred to Monday when he told a Senate Appropriations subcommittee that the Army would extend its anti- aircraft capability with a ‘“mark- edly improved missile to be used with essentially the same ground equipment as the present Nike system.” In this connection, the report MY, WE'RE GLAD TO-SEE A MAN ! OUR MOTOR'S BEEN also indicated the Army will use the Terrier, an antiaircraft mis- | sile developed by the Navy. At another point, it suggested the Navy’s missile would be launched, tracked and controlled by the sys- tem designed for the Nike. Among new aircraft, the report listed the F104 Lockheed inter-| ceptor, the F105 Republic fighter- bomber and a version of the giant trooper carrier-cargo C124, pow-| ered by turbo-prop (propellers driven by jet turbines similar to the conventional jet “thrust” pow- er plant). < ‘ —by McEvoy and Striebel THERE'S FISHY ABOUT IT!
