Army Reports
Big Strides on
Nike Program
BY JOHN A. GILES

The Army's 3-year-old pro-
gram to build Nike anti-aircraft
positions both in this country
and overseas was reported yes
Iterday to be so we'll advanced
that all but a very few of the
I250-odd sites have been acquired.
Most of them are fully opera
Itional."
The 50-acre sites now guard
Il9 American cities. including
Washington and more such bat
teries soon will be assigned to
Alaska and Greenland. Land for
the sites in the United States
cost $13 million.
The program is so far advanced
that the new atom-tipped Nike
Hercules" missiles, which Defense
Secretary Wilson recently an
Inounced would replace the INT
warhead Nike Ajax" weapons,
can be rolled into place as fast
as they are produced.
Changes to Be Needed
The Army Corps of Engineers
said certain notifications" of
the original centers would be
necessary to provide for safe
handling of nuclear explosives
and to accommodate the larger
Hercules, which is repeatedly
seven feet longer than the pres
Ient Nike. The engineers said.
however, that some of the modi-
ifications already have been made
and that others can be completed
as fast as the super missiles be-
come available. The danger of
fire with the new atom missiles
lis reported less than with the
conventional weapons.
The construction program
consists of scattered launcher
and control sites around the
peripheries of the larger metro
politan areas. Facilities are pro-
vided for storage, serving and
launching missiles, for radar
control equipment and complete
housing and administrative
buildings for troops who man
the sites on an ever-ready basis.
Total original cost of the Nike
program. exclusive of logistic
support facilities and family
housing. was approximately
$3.50 million. The cost Of mis-
siles themselves are not inciud-
ed in this figure.
Nuclear Rockets for Jets
Mr.. Wilson also announced
that jet air defense fighters
were being armed with nuclear
rockets. They already have been
stored at bases where the facili-
ties and acreage are sufficient.
At some other air defense bases
it will be necessary to acquire
additional land to isolate the
rockets but an Air Force official
said the dollar value of such
purchases would not be large
and that construction costs
would be negligible.
The engineers refuse to elab-
crate on special precautions"
that the Army contends will
keep Nike sites "as safe as a
gasoline station" even after the
nuclear explosives are installed.
For a long time, the engineers
say both the new and old Mixes
are expected to be used. How
ever. the Hercules--whieh can
carry either conventional or
atomic warheads-will replace
the present slim, 21-foot missiles
named for the Greek goddess Of
victory which have become so
familiar to the public.
