Air Force Ideas Differ
On Atlas Readiness

The first squadron Of At
lases will be fully organized
at the end Of this year. Nor
mally a squadron should have
10 missiles.
Defense Secretary McElroy
has said the Soviet Union is
probably on about the same
time schedule for its first oper-
ational ICBMs.
Atlas Ahead Of Schedule
There is a question within
the Air Force whether the
Vandenberg missiles are for
training or really for use. The
base has both a training and a
tactical function. But though
1t may not be in ideal combat
condition. it could be ready If
needed.
The Air Research and Devel-
opment Command turned the
Aliases over to the Stretegic
Air Command a week ago.
some two months later than
the Pentagon had expected a
year ago but on time according
to a revised schedule an
nounced in June. 1t was a little
faster than the ARDC Chief
1t. Gen. Bernard A. Schriever
had thought was possible six
weeks ago.
Defense against the ICBM is
some time away. Present radar
cannot detect one as 1t hurtles
hundreds of miles above the
atmosphere. But new long
range radar is being built now
in the Arctic.
The Army has the anti
ICBM missile under develop
ment-the Nike-Zeus. The Air
Force has doubts as to the eff
fectiveness of the Zeus, but it
has no alternative weapon of
its own to offer.

MIAMI BEACH. Sept. S.
The Air Force is debating with
itself today whether Americas

missile-the Adas-is now "op-
irrational"
II 1t is. then this country can
send a giant missile to the So
Wet Union in time Of attack
It would mark the dawn Of the
ICBM age-the time when both
Russia and this country can
hurl the biggest nuclear weap-
ons across the globe.
Gen. Thomas S. Power. chief
of Strategic Air Command. said
during the Air Force Associa-
ton convention here this week
that his Aliases would be OPP
irrational Gin the very near fu-
ture." But one three-star gen.
eral said privately that the first
Aliases are operational now.
It seemed to be an argument
over the exact state Of readi-
ness of the big missiles.
Targets Are Designated
Here's how it stands: A small
number of the first Aliases are
in the hands of combat crews
at Vandenberg Air Base, Calf
The crews are trained; they
have designated targets anc
nuclear warheads. II war came
today they could start a LONG
countdown and fire their mis-
siles at the Soviet Union.

ational until they can bt
launched as fast as his planes

time the signal is given. II
will take crews several weeks tt
