House Group
Queries Order
p
On Missiles
BY the Associated Press

A congressional committee Is
reported to have raised questions
about an order by Secretary of
Defense Wilson which limits the
Army's activity in missiles to
those with ranges Of no more
than 200 miles.
The subject was brought up
at a recent closed-door session
of a House Appropriations sub
committee. Some legislators are
said to have asked Defense De-
partment officials what was be-
ing done to provide a ballistic
missile to cover the range be-
tween 200 and about 1000 miles.
The Congressman noted that
the memorandum issued by Mr..
Wilson last November, outlining
the roles and missions of the
various armed forces in the field
of aircraft and missiles, con-
tanned this specification:
The United States Army will
not plan at this time for the
operational employment of the
intermediate range ballistic mis-
sile or for any other missiles
with ranges beyond 200 miles,
This does not, however, prohibit
the Army from making limited
feasibility studies in this area. :"
1900 Mile Range Involved
The intermediate range bal
listic missile (IRBM) is intended
to travel about 1900 miles. The
200-mile reference related to the
Redstone Rocket of the Army.
which has that range.
The point apparently raised in
committee questioning is that,
under the Wilson memorandum,
there is no provision for a bal
liStic weapon with. a range be-
tween that OF the RedStone and
the IRBM except for the lin
tied feasibility studies" permit
ted the Army.
The questioners were described
as not insisting that the Army
could go into that field. but
rather that one OF the armed
forces should take a close look
at the problem of providing
medium-range ballistic missile
fire support for ground forces.
5,OO0-Mile Missile in Work
The Wilson order said the use
of an intermediate-range missile.
when one is developed. will oe by
the Air Force. which also has
been assigned responsibility for
the 5,000-mile intercoutinental
ballistic missile tTCBM. The
Army has been working on its
Jupiter" IRBM. the Air Force
on its Thor" IRBM.
At a news conference last week,
MIR. Wilson said the Army's Jupi-
ter project had been Cancelled. "
but later the Defense Depart
ment issued a statement saying
what he meant was that only
one IRBM project would be con-
sidered for final use. although
for the time being testing of
both the jupiter and Thor mis-
siles will go forward"
