Red Missiles
Neared Hawaii
BY the Associated Press

Defense Department officials
were skeptical yesterday of a
report indicating the Russians
have hurled intercontinental
range missiles in the direction
of Hawaii.
But they expressed no doubt
that Soviet missiles have the
range to reach Hawaii or that
the Russians probably have
fired missiles into the Pacific
Ocean nearer the Asiatic main
land.
Representative Brooks, Dem
ocratic Of Louisiana, chairman
of the House Space Committee,
said Friday the Russians have
launched powerful missiles
from base near Moscow east
ward across Siberia into the
Pacific northwest Of Hawaii.
He did not indicate how near
Hawaii.

Mr.. Brooks said recent hear
ings of his committee revealed
that the Russians have fired
intercontinental missiles from
near Moscow 5000 or 5000
miles into the Pacific.
He declined to elaborate but
said the firings had been known
to United States officials for
the past few months. Mr..
Brooks also declined to say
how the firings had been de-
tected, saying that was CLASH
fed information.

BY WILLIAM HINES
Star Science Writer

A leading space scientist
warned last night that only a
public aroused Ito the danger
of an UNEMPLOYED frontier can
give America the impetus it
needs to attain supremacy in
space.

physicist and vice president of
Avco Corp, one of the leaders

in reply to the first question
ut is no more pertinent than
to talk about how expensive it
is to pillow a field to grow food
in. Historically, it is abundantly
clear that research pays for
itself.
"A small answer is already
available: One can see now
how two commercial applica-
tions-weather forecasting and
communications - will repay
everything we have invested in
space.
Whatever the cost, don't
think it will upset the economy
at all. We will be taking out
our profit as we build up the
program"
Space Seen "a Rampant"
To the second question-will
the people bear the burden?
DR.. Kantrowitz said:
IF we have the correct basic
policy. the people will be be-
hind the program. You re-
member the line in the National
Anthem about the ramparts
we watch? Space should be
one Of the ramparts.
IF this is the kind of coun-
try that will let an UNEMPLOYED
frontier sit out there and be
taken over by someone else,
then inevitably we will be Sec
ond in space. But I don't be-
heve it is that kind of country
If the Nation should resign
itself to being other than No. l
in space, what then? DR.. Kan
trowitz was asked.
1--WE can take the chance, of
course" he replied. 1T would
be exactly the same kind of
chance we would have taken
had we neglected to develop
nuclear physics in the 1940s.
Hitler Lacked the Vision
"The Hitler government of
Germany rad access to exactly
the same basic knowledge as
our Government had on the
nuclear question. If Hitler had
had the vision to explore nu-
clear physics, as Roosevelt
did :"
If the United States took it's
chances on being No. 2 in
space, it is possible that the
No. nation would investigate
the cosmos without any fruit
full result" DR.. Kantrowitz
said. If that proved to be the
Gaze, then nothing would hap
pen" as a result of our decision.
And the worst that could re-
suit from resigning ourselves
to the runner-up spot?
THAT I can't predict" DR..
Kantrowitz said.

in the missile and space bust
ness, said the American people
must be convinced that If you
allow an accessible frontier to
be explored by someone else,
you are exposing yourself to
deadly danger"
Space, he asserted, is just
such a frontier-acceSsible ano
still largely UNEMPLOYED.
Raps Political Policy
In an interview, DR.. Kan
trowitz said the Governments
policy on space has been to do
lust as little as possible to meet
current political needs"
Our national attitude to-
ward space is completely one Of
doing what is necessary to ap-
pease the American peoples
dissatisfaction With being Sec
ond-that and nothing more. :"
he said,
Although he refused to state
the American position in the
space race with the Russians in
terms of years behind" DR..
Kantrowitz admitted the So
Wet Union enjoys superiority
over the United States in
rocket-booster power. He en-
phasized, however. that the
Russian advantage is in the
realm of space rather than in
the purely strategic, military
field of intercontinental ballis-
tic missiles.

likened the role to a combina-
ton of Judge and advocate
in which the agency not only
pursues its own research prof.
ects but passes judgment on
the work of others.
Stressing that his use of the
word magnificent" was sar-
castle, DR.. Kantrowitz said
this fiscal year in research
"NASA has allotted the mag
nificent' sum of 81 million for
research by laboratories out
side the agency" He estimated
NASA'S total "in-houSe" re-
search bill at between $10C
and 5000 million.
DR.. Kantrowitz noted, how
ever, that large sums are spent
by the space agency to acquire
hardware" from sources out
side its own facilities.
NASA's dual role of judge
and advocate, he said, is "the
scientific analog of conflict Of
interest"
Monopoly Power a Peril
The scientist was asked
whether a single agency ii

the Atomic Energy Commission
is in charge of all nuclear &C.
tivities, might not help the
country pick up speed in the
space race by concentrating it,
efforts under a single head.
THE Acc concept has a GER
tain attractiveness," DR.. Kan
troWitz said, "but one must also
remember that the way we are
finally going to get ahead Of
the Russians is by understand
ing better how to utilize all ia.
cilities, not by eliminating
competition,
"A monopolistic position il
dangerous in that, at the po-
litical level, it might take out
valuable competition of ideas
Two Prime Considerations
DR.. Kantrowitz acknowledged
that in any public discussion
of expanded space activities
two questions always loom
large. They are:
l. How much is it going tt
cost?
2. Will the American people
consent to the added tax bur-
den imposed by such expendi-
lures?
Its high time we stop talk
ing about how expensive re-
search is" DR.. Kantrowitz said

clans, Is a key to f1rSt-rank

step toward such a laboratory,
he added.

clearly achievable thing" DR..
Kantrowitz said. 1T would be
established just below the Wan

titude under GOO miles.
Up to The People
THE first country that
achieves such a laboratory will
really begin to acquire the vi
sion and capability of utilizing

program a success will volun-

form overly important.

Authorities Ask
Delay in Hearing
For MotherweII

California authorities have
asked for a delay in bringing
Larry Lord Motherwell to a
preliminary hearing because Of
trouble in finding a court re.
porter, Motherwells Washing.
ton attorneys said yesterday.
Motherwell, 43-year-old
Washington carpenter charged
with the murder Of a wealthy
Washington widow, pleaded ncE
guilty last week at an arraign-
ment In Sierraville. Calf.
The next step is q prelimi-
nary hearing at which witness
ses will be called and the judge
will decide whether Mother
we'll should be held for trial.
This Is the hearing where Q
court reporter Is desired, 1t was
explained.
Washington attorneys for
Motherwell said they had been
advised the case will be re-
scheduled for either the second
or third Monday of October.
The hearing earlier had been
set for September 80.
Defense Attorney Samuel C..
Klein said he doubted that the
case would actually reach trial
for several months.
A murder warrant was issued
for Motherwell shortly after
bones identified as those Of
Mrs. Pearl Putney. 72-year-old
Washington widow, were found
near O remote mountain road
In Sierra County, Calf, las[
month. Motherwell was picked
up by FBI agents in Atlanta,
and his extradition to Califor.
mia followed.
