LeMay Sets Mark
In KC135 Tanker
WASHINGTON ■— (A 5 ) — A huge
tanker-transport commanded by
Gen. Curtis LeMay arrived over
National Airport at 3:33 p. m. yes
terday after flying nonstop from
Buenos Aires on a record-making
trip.
The average speed for the 5,204-
mile flight was computed unoffi
cially at 469.5 milejs an hour.
The four-jet KC135 craft bucked
headwinds during much of the
flight between the two capitals.
Just yesterday LeMay had flown
the craft more than 6,300 miles—
on a less direct course—to Buenos
Aires from Westover Airforce
Base, Mass. That nonstop jet disr
tance record flight was made in 13
hours, 2 minutes.
The Air Force , said this flight,
made in just over 17 hours, was
intended to help show how it can
deliver a tactical striking force
anywhere in the world.

AntiICBM
Arms Forseen
By Gen. Taylor
WASHINGTON, (AP) —
Gen. Maxwell D. Taylor re
ported yesterday the Army is
making “encouraging pro
gress” in the development of
a weapon capable of knocking down
Soviet intercontinental ballistic
missiles.
He spoke to a businessmen’s con
ference which had just been told
by Secretary of Commerce Weeks
that in federal budget making “the
emphasis now is on less butter and
more guns.”
Taylor, the Army’s chief of staff,
said “it is entirely possible to de
velop an anti-missile defense for
the United States at an acceptable
cost and in a reasonable time
fi’ame.”
In a speech prepared for the
National Defense Executive Re
serve conference, Taylor listed the
anti-missile missile as one of the
main requirements for an Ameri
can stand against what he predict
ed would be “atomic missile black
mail and rough diplomacy” by a
Communist Russia proud of its
strides in the missile field.
Taylor said no one should be sur
prised that the Soviet Union shows
“recurring truculence.” After all,
he said, the Russians didn’t hesitate
to embark upon aggression even
when they were inferior to the
United States and its allies in the
air-atomic field.
“We may well he requited to re
spond to this recurrent toughness
in an atmosphere of increased in
ternational tensions resulting from
the mutual possession of weapons
of great destruction,” he said.
“In this event, it would be our
turn to show coolness and steadi
ness in the face of atomic missile
blackmail and the rough diplomacy
which we may expect to encounter
in our subsequent relations with
the U.S.S.R.”
Taylor said that since World
War II there have been 15 limited
wars and that the Russians or
their allies have taken part in
eight of them.

AMS Discusses
Satellite Problems
Meteorological information ob
tained from artificial satellites and
the problems of getting it were re
lated here yesterday at the 161st
national meeting of the American
Meteorological Society.
Speakers were William K.
Widger Jr. and C. N. Touart,
geophysics research directorates,
Air Force Cambridge Research
Center, Bedford, Mass.
The most impoi’tant information
obtainable from such satellites,
the scientists felt, would be obser
vations of the amount of solar
energy absorbed and re-radiated by
the earth and Its atmosphere, and
cloud observations in oceanic re
gions where meteorological re
ports are few and far between.
“Severe problems must be solved
before the data can be recovered,”
they said. “The position and
orientation of the satellite must he
known before some types of ob
servations can be used.”
They pointed out that several of
the satellites expected to be
Blind Civil War Yet
Has 115th Birthday
HOUSTON, Tex. — <A>) _ White-
haired Walter Williams, one of the
two remaining Civil War veterans,
celebrated his 115th birthday yes
terday.
Williams, who has always loved
music, had a Western band playing
at his horne for his birthday. No
big celebration was planned but
friends dropped by during the day
for cake and punch.
The Confederate veteran is three
years older than John Sailing of
Slant, Va., the only other living
Civil War veteran who is also a
Confederate.
Williams’ second wife died of a
heart attack Nov. 2 at the age of
84, and he has not been told. A
daughter, Mrs. Willie Mae Bowles,
in whose home Williams lives, said
she has postponed telling her father
because of the effect the news
might have.
launched by the United States dur
ing the International Geophysical
Year will probably be equipped for
making meteorological observa
tions.
The violent Dallas tornado of
this year was described by five
other top scientists during the
AMS meeting.
Pai’ticipants saw the best of 450
black and white photos, 250 color
slides and about 1,500 feet of
movie film taken of the tornado.
Pictures were taken from almost
all angles, showing the tornado
throughout its active period.
Walter H. Hoecker Jr. of the U.
S. Weather Bureau, Washington,
D. C., described measurements of
the size and movements of the
major twister and also of an im
mature tornado which was ob
served during the same day.
Other speakers who talked on
the big storm were Stuart G.
Bigler of the Oceanography and
Meteorology Department; D. T.
Williams and R. G. Beebe both of
the U. S. Weather Bureau, Kansas
City, Mo., and E. P. Segner Jr.
the Civil Engineering Department.
Meetings of the AMS will con
tinue through Friday, with ma
terial presented on a wide variety
of meteorological subjects.
At a banquet tonight, special
awards will be presented to in
dividuals and organizations who
recently have completed outstand
ing work in the field of mete-
oi’ology.
