Military Sources
Say Soviets Lobbed
Rocket in Pacific
WASHINGTON OP) _ American
military authorities believe the So
viets have lobbed a test rocket into
the central Pacific but missed their
target by several hundred miles.
Military men who would not be
quoted by name said Wednesday
night the rocket apparently was
launched in the vicinity of the
Caspian Sea, near the Soviet Un
ion’s southern boundary with Iran.
The Soviets have lots of room
to spare if they want to claim
precision for one of their firings.
Their intended impact area covers
an expanse of the Pacific some
280 miles long and 160 miles wide,
about 1,000 mile from Hawaii.
The Defense Department said it
was checking on unverified reports
that an object which may have
been a Soviet missile or nose cone
dropped into the Pacific about
noon Wednesday, Washington time.
The reports said the object land
ed in the area reserved by the
Soviet Union for a test period be
ginning last Saturday and extend
ing to Peb. 16.
If the object was a Soviet mis
sile fired from the Caspian Sea
area, a launching location men
tioned in advance speculation, it
would have, had to rocket for per
haps 8,000 miles to reach the tar
get area. That would be farther
than the 6,300-mile range Ameri
can Atlas intercontinental missiles
tested in the Atlantic. But Presi
dent Eisehower has reported the
Atlases have been hitting within
a two-mile target area after trav
eling more than 5,000 miles.
Those in the best position to say
whether the reported object was a
Soviet missile—the Soviets them-
seleves—were keeping mum. They
are not in the habit of talking about
test firings.
Forestry Students
Learn by Doing
A&M Forestry students learn
by doing.
Robert R. Rhodes, associate
professor in the Department of
Range and Forestry, has an
nounced he has completed ar
rangements for use of a pine
timber stand about 20 miles from
the campus. The tract will be
used for student field laboratory
exersices such as measurement
practices.
He said the land belongs to
a timberland company which has
been in operation since 1841.
The stand will continue under
good forest management indef
initely.
On the campus proper, there
is a small plantation being used
to teach reforestation methods
by actual planting, Rhodes said.
