took 20 gears to design this
naonster-46 feet lorg-1u to
drop 1000 pounds of erplo-

The rocket bomb is far different.
Travelling many times faster than sound
1t descends in curved drop. There is
no warning. The thing hits and ex-

rumbling sound. 1t is hard to localize
the explosion sound or the sound of the

of the bomb rushing through the at

itself has hit and detonated. 1t carries
a war head of 1900 pounds of explosive,
about the same as the robot bomb.

Right now the members-ar, the visi-

speaking engagement that will take her
away from her congressional duties.

Mrs Douglas made her maiden speech

remarks from Mr.. Wallace and Mrs.

Mrs. Douglas has made four speeches
in all, sober discussions of vital topics
ranging from lease-lend to Lanham Act
