MISSILES ' ! (Continued from Page 1) them all.” The nation’s hopes to reach that objective are based on the guided missile. The Army’s responsibility, as outlined by Daley, is for surface to air weapons with ranges up to about 100 miles. Such a weapon set down in College Station would engage aircraft over Houston, Austin, Waco or Palestine. There must be an active defense against ballistic missies. Daley ex plained to the SCONA and Great Issues audience that the Army now has program directed toward development of an anti missile missile. This is a missile which will meet the enemy’s ballis- tice missile far above the earth and destroy it. Two weaknesses exist in missiles; their tremendous speed can be off set by simply “putting a defending missile in the path of a ballistic missile and it will hit the enemy missile regardless of the speed.” A second weakness is the fact that a missile travels along a path which can be predicted. Daley con tends the problem is “simply to determine the path and launch a missile into the path —an anti missile missile.” Radar and elec tronic advances in computor tech niques make it possible to deter mine the path of the ballastic mis sile, compute tthe path of a de fending missile, launch a defending missile and explode it at the proper time. In summarizing his thoughts on missile defense Daley said, “In my opinion it is possible to build an anti-missile missile to kill the ICBM aqd the Army is working hard at the job.” Firepower is now needed that is more mobile, more flexible and with greater range than the Army used to have. The guided missile will give us these things, Daley re marked. Army capabilities in the missile field are not measured only by de velopment and production capabili ty, but “must be measured in terms of tens of thousands of trained mis silemen.” The Army has missile training establishments and schools and scores of operational units, Daley said. The Army’s capabilities in help ing the nation move into the age of space “lie in its greatest asset -—men.” Hagerty Gtiilmes Ike’s MTO Visit PARIS, flT) — Press secretary James Hager ty yesterday outlined a full schaiule for Presideht Eisenhower’s .Paris summit talks.

Recognized By CSPA Rating Staff members of the 1958 Ag- gieland yearbook have been noti fied that the 1957 Aggieland has won the “Medalist” rating of the (^plumbia Scholastic Press Assn.

Stevenson called on President Eis enhower yesterday to give an answer which is “affirmative in spirit” to Soviet Premier Bulgan in’s new letter. Stevenson offered this advice at National Airport as he left for Chicago, ending his 25-day tour as special consultant to Secretary of State Dulles on Atlantic Pact problems. The 1952-6 Democratic presiden tial nomineai told newsmen he had made “some suggestions” on how Bulganin’s letter might be an swered but he did not disclose what they were. Bulganin's message called for new East-West talks to outlaw war and a mutual ending of atomic-hy drogen bomb tests Jan. 1. It also warned against European countries allowing American missiles to be stationed on their territory. A State Department spokesman said the letter, received Tuesday is under “most careful study” and will be taken up with U. S. allies. He added that the department still COUNCIL (Continued from Page 1) before the code went into effect. Bowen, speaking for the group, said: “We feel that they will want it, but the mechanics of putting the code into effect have not yet been decided.” McKown commented: “In our body the only way to in stitute such a code would be by a vote of all classes.” No definite action^ was taken by the Council on the honor code. How ever, McKown charged each repre sentative to meet with individual dorm councils and sound out opinions. He also invited orienta tion committee members to meet with dorm councils to explain the code and answer questions. looks on the letter as a Soviet prop aganda move on the eve of the NATO summit conference in Paris. Stevenson criticized Bulganin’s unwillingness to couple end of nu clear testing with a halt to manu facture of atomic weapons. He said: “I would like to think that Mr. Bulganin’s letter is a good omen. But if the Russians want to ban the use of nuclear weapons,! wonder why they won’t agree to ban production? “Our experience with fine Soviet promises has been very disillusion ing. But all the same, v/e must leave no stone unturned to reach settlements, and I hope our res ponse to Mr. Bulganin’s letter will be affirmative in spirit.” Stevenson said the American proposals Eisenhower will lay be fore the heads of NATO govern ments at Paris, will, if accepted “serve to increase the solidarity and unity of purpose of the Atlan tic community.” BA Prof to Speak At Rock Island, Ill.
