guided missiles and rockets are
synonymous.
Because there Is going to be
more and more talk about guided
missiles, this impression should be
corrected now. DR.. Karl T. Comp
ton, chairman Of the Joint Re-
search and Development Board,
says.
This, according to DR.. Comp
ton, is the accepted definition Of
a guided missile:
An unnamed vehicle moving
above the earth's surface. whose
trajectory or flight path is capa-
Bile Of being altered by q mechan-
ism within the vehicle"
This. Of course. could be q
rocket. But DR.. Compton points
out, it also could be an airplane
of conventional aspect carrying
special equipment to permit con-
troll by radio, but no crew.
5000 Mile Test Area Sought.
The armed services want Con-
gress to provide funds for a
3,000-mile long proving ground
over which long-range guided
missiles can be tested.
Some models under develop
ment are rockets. similar in ap-
pearance to the German vi and
W. rockets used against England
during World War II. The "Vs"
were not true guided missiles, but
merely motorized projectiles with
out the remote-control features
now being perfected.
The first effective long range
guided missiles. however. may be
unnamed bombing planes. DR..
Compton suggested to q House
Armed Services subcommittee.
For useful bombing objectives
thousands of miles away with 10
tons Of explosives, for example
the researchers must think first
Of controlling by radio an airplane
similar. perhaps, to bombers now
in use, he said.
Projectiles Harder to Control.
The projectile-type missiles,
moving at supersonic speeds, will
be less comfortable and suitable
only for smaller explosive loads
at shorter ranges for many years,
DR.. Compton indicated.
Eventually. 1t is believed. large
supersonic-speed missiles can be
built with an atomic engine as the
power plant.
The nomenclature of guided
missiles includes these general
classifications: Surface-to-surface

Brig Gen. William L. Richard
son of the Air Force. who has

Long-Range Proving Ground Com
mittee of the Joint Research and
Development Board. points out
personnel training is one Of the
coming problems in the guided
missiles field.
Guided missiles will be extremely
expensive, and will require large
body OF highly trained combat
personnel In the Air Force, Army
and Navy for effective use, he
says.
Gen. Richardson believes the
United States cannot afford to let
itself lag behind any other nation
in the perfection of guided missiles
and the radically new tactics they
will require.
I'VE confidently expect that air.
to-air missiles and surface-to-air
missiles will greatly enhance our
ability to ward off devastating air
attacks by an enemy" he declares,
"and that air. surface missiles
and surface-to- surface missiles
will be necessary in order to
launch effective and timely coun-
terattackS.
I'VE are certain, also. that these
vehicles will provide us with the
means to scientifically investigate
the upper air and eventually to
explore outer space. and that they
will have application as high
speed commercial air carriers" he
adds.
