.4MissiIe Sites
Picked by AT
~ the Associated Press

Four East Coast Air Force
bases have been selected for
construction OF the first
launching sites for the Bomarc,
the Nations newest missile
designed to knock down enemy
bombers.
The Air Force reportedly
feels about Is such sites would
provide antiaircraft coverage
for the East and West Coasts
and the Nations northern
boundary. The Bomarc can
cover a wide area and travels
faster than sound.
However. although 1t Is de-
signed to intercept enemy
bombers as far away rs 800
miles and as high UP as nearly
IL miles. the Bomarc would
not be effective against bal
listic missiles. These long
range rockets ny at speeds OF
up to $4,000 miles an hour
and travel as high as 600 OF
100 miles.
Plans to build the first
Bomarc launching sites were
announced last night by the
Air Force. II said 1t had signed
contracts totaling $46 millior
for work at Dow Air Force
Base, Me-; MCGUIRE Air Forct
Base, N. j.: Otis Air Force
Base. Mass. and Suffolk County
Air Force Base on Long Island
IN.
I An Air Force spokesman said
some additional land will bt
acquired for the Suffolk County
project, but that In the other
three cases the Air Force woulc
use land 1t already owns. Tht
sites will include launching
spans. storage facilities. con.
troll equipment and protection
facilities.
The Bomarcs and theil
launching sites are to be in
tegrated into the air defens,
system OF the United States.
the Air Force said.
Thus. they will join All
Force and Navy intercepted
planes and the Army's Mix
antiaircraft missiles in guard
ing the United States from pos
sible enemy assault. This al
defense system also includei
radar warning sets arrayet
around the Continent and alonl

years the universe may be ex-
panding and then contracting
and expanding again forever.
But is that any less a mystery
than creation? Was such a
creation in some sense personal?
Do we partake in some way Of
that personality?
Then. leaving out the matter
Of spirit, we are faced with the
mystery of mind and matter.
BY what means does worry pro-
duce stomach ulcers? That it
does is a matter Of homely
experience. But how does mat
ter become connected with
mind? How does matter, in
deed, become alive? And what
is life? When we face these
mysteries. does continuance Of
life seem impossible?
Then we have the two realms
Of law in the universe. There is
"a law which governs the physi-
cal world in all things that
relate to matter and energy. 1t
Is the experience of saints and
sages of all religions and all
ages that there is likewise a
moral law which governs the
relations Of men with each
other and of men with a
mysterious moral universe.
Jesus expressed that moral
law in love of God and love of
our neighbor and thus gave the
Law its most complete express
sion-"Thou shalt" said he.
The saints and sages of all the
ages have spoken similarly and
given expression TO this as be-
ing. in human experience, the
law by which men live and work
together constructively instead
Of destructively.
Feel Warmth and Power
Is physical law self existent?
How did it happen? Is 1t COM
pletely impersonal? Is the moral
law self-existent? 1t is not
impersonal because it relates
to persons. but is there a self
existent necessity about it or
was it ordained?
If We are willing to glide over
the surface of things without
seeking what lies within the
depth Of existence. we can ig-
more all this mystery. We can
take the world as We find i"
without curiosity and so have
a completely calloused attitude
toward the great problems Of
the existence Of matter, Of
mind. Of life and the spirit. No
one who lives his life on this
level has begun to live with
any degree Of fullness.
One who has begun to live
life with any degree of fullness
feels the warmth. feels the
power. feels the deep certainty
Of there being Something There.
II there is Something There.
it gives a meaning to life which
is not a transient one. It gives
a deep feeling that life must
be lived as though it did not
end.

has come to be known as the
Eisenhower doctrine. It took
Congress weeks to clarity this
doctrine and to turn it into
acceptable form.
