.Brucker Hopes
For 1,5OO-Mi|e
Missile Soon

FORT KNOX, KY. April %
R.-Secretary Brucker indicat-
ed yesterday that the Army an
ticipates early success in build
ing a 1.500-mile ballistic missile.
Mr.. Brucker also gave the
name Jupiter" to the medium
range bombardment weapon
which is being developed from
the existing Redstone missile.
The Redstone has a range Of
about 800 miles.
In a speech before the Armor
Association--a -official Or
ganization of individuals inter-
ested in armored warfare-the
Army secretary said that such
substantial progress" has been
achieved in the development Of
the Jupiter that 1.-THE time nee
essary to develop the range we
seek, coupled with the accuracy
we have already obtained, will
be cut to minimum"
The secretary said that units
are already being organized to
operate the shorter-range Red
stone missile, which he described
as "the accurate experimental
vehicle leading to the Jupiter"
Mr.. Brucker also reasSerted
the Army's claim to control and
use of the Jupiter when its de-
sired range is reached, saying
that the Army believes its arsenal
should contain IAN adequate
supply of atomic weapons which
can be used with discrimination
against close-in as well as distant
pinpoint targets. with complete
accuracy under the most adverse
conditions of weather and visi-
bility."
The Army originated develop
ment of the Redstone missile, but
last Fall the Navy joined in the
project in the expectation of
using it as a long-range missile
that can be launched from sur
face ships lying off enemy shores.
The Air Force is working on
its own 1,500-mile missile.

Angry Elephant
Injuries Eleven

WAXAHACIE, Tex, April %
ItP.-Eleven persons were in
iured when a female elephant,
apparently enraged because her
baby had been taken from her
recently, smashed into a spec
tator-filled stand during a cir
Gus performance here last night.
One 62-year-old woman was
seriously injured. The other 10
persons were released after
treatment.
The nine elephants of the
Miller Brothers Circus had COM
pleted the opening parade in
the arena and had left the tent
a few minutes before. The spot
lights were on the aerial aero
bats when, above the roll of the
band drums. the trumpeting of
the enraged elephant was heard
from the outside.
The animal careened against
the tent and then smashed
through the canvas. Her trunk
and head knocked down about
four rows of seats.
1t was believed that none OF
the spectators was actually hit
by the elephant. but that they
were injured when they Jumped
or ran to avoid being struck.
If she had come 6 feet far
Their. a lot of people would have
been hurt real bad" said Ray
Hendrickson. shop foreman for
the Waxahachie Daily Light. who
was sitting only a short distance
away.
Approximately 1900 persons
were in the packed tent. but
there were no children sitting in
the section where the elephant
ripped through the tent. Circus
attendants. working from the
outside of the tent, pulled the
animal back and brought he1
under control.
They said they believed she
had gone on the rampage be-
cause her baby had been taken
away from her recently. After
the elephant was recaptured. the
show continued.
Mrs. Josephine johnson. 60. of
Waxahachie. was seriously in
lured. She suffered a compound
fracture of the left leg, cuts and
bruises.

lila Ends Tie
TO Transfers

NEW YORK, April % lP).-
The International Longshore-
mems Association has cast off
the lines that tied it to part of
the huge AFL-CIO Teamsters
Union.
The move launched by the lila
yesterday appeared to take Dave
Beck. teamster president, and
his l.3-million-member union of
a hot spot. The truckers faced
possible expulsion from the ALL
CLIO for their working agreement
with the unaffiliated longshore-
men.
Last month the teamsters
bowed to pressure from AFL-CIO
President George Meany and
abandoned plans to lend $780,
900 to the nearly bankrupt lila
At the same time Mr.. Meany
insisted he would enforce the
AFL-CIO constitutional ban
against pacts between member
groups and unions that have
been expelled from the national
organization.
The lila was kicked out Of the
AFL in 1853 for alleged domina-
ton by gangsters and racketeers
Meeting Will Go On
Recently Mr.. Meany asked the
AFL-CIO executive board to meet
in Washington May to discuss
the teamsters' alliance with the
longshoremen. Last night he
said the meeting would go ahead,
despite the breakup of the LA
teamsters alliance.
Associates said Mr.. Meany
wants to make certain the break
is genuine and not phony."
Meanwhile, Mr.. Beck said the
lila move means an end to all
the recent alliances between the
lila and the transfers unions"
But he added that he didn't sup
pose the break will disturb their
mutual friendship"
Friendship" also was stressed
by Capt. William v. Bradley, lila
president. Capt. Bradley said
the lila Cancelled its agreement
with the teamsters Ito make
friends, not to make enemies"
The pier union boss said, how
ever, that "meddlers and trouble
makers" had created "a hostile
atmosphere" in which the agree
ment might be used as an ex-
cuse to inflict injury" on the
lila and teamsters.
Negotiated by HOffa
The alliance was negotiated
by James R. Hoffa of Detroit
Iteamster vice president and head
Of the unions Central Confer
ence. The pact was with the
teamsters' Central. Eastern and
Southern Conferences.
In Detroit Mr.. Hoffa expressed
regrets over the break. But he
said each party OF the pact
has the right to cancel and we
have no alternative but to agree
to the cancellation"
The working agreement called
for mutual strike aid and a COM
bined organizing drive. particu-
larly in Great Lakes ports where
the lila is weaker than 1t is on
the East Coast.
The basis of the alliance was
the fact that the truckers anc
longshoremen work together lr
port areas. Trucks manned BY
teamsters union drivers carry
cargo to and from ships LA
men handle loading and unload.

After the lila was tossed out
