to the most essential operational
requirements" It said no addi-

There will be impact areas along

It is not contemplated that any
missiles being tested will fly over
cities or large towns, but they may
pass In mid-flight above small
communities.
II they do. says DR.. Compton,
the residents probably will not
realize it and will not be in any
unusual danger.
In the minds Of the initiated,
the danger element has been
greatly exaggerated" according to
DR.. Compton.
He points out the missiles nor
mally will fly ut extremely high
altitudes-so far above the earth
that special instruments will be
required to detect them along
much Of their course. They will
not have explosive warheads, and
they will have means to dispose
Of them in the air, over a safe
area. If they deviate too far of
course"-these could be self-con-
tanned disintegrating charges.

Perhaps something will GO
wrong on occasion, and q missile
will crash of its course. but this
is no more probable than In the
case Of an airplane. DR.. Compton
says. In fact. some guided mis-
siles undergoing tests probably
will be radio-controlled, un-
manned planes.
It appears likely the launching
point will be located in q dry,
barren area of the West. Guided
missiles with ranges of up to
$50 miles can be tested now at
three proving grounds. but the
Air Force reports ones of 500-mile
capabilities will be ready this year.
The very long range missiles al
most certainly will fall outside
the continental United States
perhaps in Mexico or Canada by
international agreement, or In
Alaska-or in the sea.

Guided Missile Tests
Offer Little Danger 10

Second of ttDo articles

Persons living or working under

ing test runs will be In no more
danger than those located be-
meath commercial air lanes. .
Also, they'll probably find the
whizzing weapons less Of q nui-
[sance than aircraft.
These are the assurances of DR..
Kari T. Compton, chairman of the
Joint Research and Development
Board. DR.. Compton is one Of the
officials urging Congress to grant
funds promptly for. 3.000-mile
proving ground over which guided
missiles can be tesed.
1.-THE test range will be located
IN q region so sparsely inhabited
| in the areas where there might be
any danger that the hazard will
be wholly negligible" according
to DR.. Compton.
Just where this 3,000-mile route
will be laid out has not been re-
vealed.

A $75.000,000 appropriation to
start the project. which will ex-
tend over 10 years and eventually

said only that the launching site
will be in the continental United
