The Defense Department an
nounced today that an Air
Force Thor MISUNDERSTANDING
ballistic missile was success
fully launched at Cape Cana
yeral. Fla. shortly after noon.
The information was made
public Immediately after the
] .5O0-mile missile was fired.
No further details were avail
able here-sueh as whether the
Thor landed in the pre-selected
target area.
II was the sixth test firing
of the Thor. Two have been
described as entirely success
full and three as virtual failures.
McEIroy TO Decide
The Thor is in competition
with the Army's Jupiter. De-
Tense Secretary McElroy said
yesterday that he hoped to de-
eide within six months which
Iof the two missiles TO order
into production. Whichever Is
selected will be used opera
tionally by the Air Force.
Earlier, the Air Force said II
has made a successful Airing Of
an experimental rocket de-
signed to reach out into space
1000 miles or more.
And there were Inofiicial
reports that q second appar-
entity successful firing had
been made In scientific expert
ments conducted at Eniwetok
AtoIl in the Central Pacific.
However, Air Force head
quarters here gave no imme-
date details on the first re-
ported firing. Nor did It con-
Arm reports Of q double sue
cess in the effort 10 hurl an
object further out into space
than any man-made device had
gone before.
The reports OF the Air Force
Project Farside rocket shots
came as the United States
claimed other gains in science
and weapons to recover some
Of the prestige lost to Soviet
technology in recent weeks.
Developments Chalked Up
The United States chalked
up these DEVELOPMENTS yester-
day:
/. Fired q rocket from q ball
loon floating 100000 feet above
the Enlwetok Atoll. The Air
Force said Il was Q success.
While technical records Of this
shot were lacking. the claim
that the firing was q success
seemed to mean the rocket had
shot up not less than 1000
miles.
The original announcement
on the project said the obiec-
tive was to launch rockets TO
an altitude between 1000 and
1000 miles. A successfuliaunch-
ing would mean it rose to at
least 1000 miles. One officer
familiar with the tests said
it's possible the rocket may
have scared beyond the 1000
mile goal. Unofficial reports
reaching here from the West
Coast said q second apparently
successful shot was made from
another balloon. However.
these reports said. automatic
metering equipment In the sec
ond rocket didn't function

information was received TO
