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.”

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.
This is the highest honor which
the 1957 Aggieland has received.
A “B-plus” rating, or “excellent
to superior”, was awarded the year
book by the National Yeai'book As
sociation at Columbia, Mo.
It was given a “second class”
rating by the Associated Collegiate
Press Association at the Univer
sity of Minnesota. This rating is
the lowest which the book has re
ceived. There are two. higher di
visions—“All-American” and “first
class”—in that rating stnicture.
“Medalist” is a highly coveted
award because the CSPA is asso
ciated with Columbia University in
New York City, and 1,219 year

divisions.

Aggieland were:
Don Burt, editor; Jimmy Stew

JC Aggies Plan Visit
WASHINGTON, (JP) — Adlai E.
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

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.”
