BALTIMORE, oct. rs R.-
The Air Force has developed
an automatic bombing system
that eliminates the possibility
Of pilots being caught In
nuclear blasts from their own
bombs.
Pilots flying at low attitudes
must lob--rather than drop
nuclear bombs to the target
The delayed falling time allows
them 10 speed away from the
blast.
To eliminate the possibility
Iof human error during the
llobbing action, the new COM
puter will guide the plane
through the maneuver auto
matically.
The Air Forces Air Research
and Development Command
said today It's engineers had
developed a LABS-low altitude
bombing system - c o m p u er
which has been proven accurate
and dependable. Pilots say the
LABS Is superior TO the manual
method.
Here is what the LABS does :
A few seconds before reach

Another method Of release,
also handled by the LABS COM
puter. Is the lover the shoul-
DER delivery.
Instead Of releasing the bomb
near the start Of the maneuver,
the bomb is held until the plane

Pineau Here
For Suez Talks

Mr.. Pineau came here from
United Nations headquarters in
New York to confer with Secre-

He and other French leaders
are reported to fear that unless
some agreements can be worked
out with Egypt before the canal

their bargaining power.

added, Brazil wants the United
States to speed up consideration

Brazil considers essential for it.
security.
Mr.. Macedo Soares denied en-
phatcally suggestions by some
United States officials that Brazil
is attempting to bargain on the
establishment of the base.
A well informed source last
month reported the United
States and Brazil were virtually
agreed on the construction of
the tracking station on the
island of Fernando de Noronha,
1875 miles off the Brazilian coast.
The island is in the 40-mile-
wide. 5.000-mile-long guided
missile range between Florida
and Ascension Island. Earlier
disagreement was reported over
Brazil's insistence that the sta
ton be manned by Brazilian
personnel.
Some United States author
tiles have expressed doubt that
any pending Brazilian economic
projects could be termed a mill
tary necessity. The Foreign
Minister cited a coastal highway
to link Brazil's three chief MAIN
land cities-Rio. Sac Paulo and
Recibe. Mr.. Macedo Soares said
this road would permit land
of military supplies,
freeing planes and ships for
other duties if Brazil is involved
in another war.
