Army Experts Ordered
To Confer in Dispute
Over Rocket Research
BY the Associosed Press

A long -simmerlng dispute between
the Army Air Forces and Army
Ordnance over control of rockets
and guided missiles was brought
into the open yesterday.
Maj. Gen. Henry S. Aurand, CHIEF
OF the general staff and research
development division, disclosed that
experts from the two services have
been ordered to confer next Tues
day and to try to iron out differ
ences.
Under a 1914 War Department
policy statement, the Ordnance De-
partment has charge of developing
missiles launched from the ground
which depend primarily upon mo-
mentum for their fight, such as
the Nazi W.. The Air Forces are
given responsibility for missiles de-
pending primarily on aerodynamit
forces for their lift
Gen. Aurand predicted at a news
conference that there would be ne
basic change in this policy. He
said that in some cases it is prof
liable to duplicate" research efforts
Although Gen. Aurand said thu
far there had been no actual fric
ton on the operating levels" Maj
Gen. Curtis E. Lemay, air force
research director who also attende,

ent policy needed revision.
This policy was set by Gen. 10
seph T. McNarney, then deput
chief of staff. Gen. Lemay said
I'm principle 1t is all right, but
defy any one to give a clear -cu
definition of the separate fields O
