The Nays l,500-mile Po-

full-scale test airing sometime
In mid-l95e.

duce solid-propellant IRBM
within a year after 1t gets the
necessary funds.
Thor Under Development
The Air Force now has the
hquid-propellant Thor IRBM
under development. Larger,
more expensive and much more
complicated than the Polaris.
1t has been ordered into pro-
duction, along with the Army's
liquid-propellant Jupiter, by
