To Run Area

BY L. EDGAR PRINA

Five National Guard air de-
tense batteries will be assigned
TO take over NIKE-AJAx in
the Washington Baltimore area
this summer.
The Army disclosed this yes
terday in announcing "a Guard

and men each would be given

in seven States between June
80 and September /.
Regular Army personal now
man these sites.
The Washington Baltimore
area assignments are as fol-
lows:
The 125th Missile Battalion of
Alexandria, Va, will provide
two batteries for sites at Lorton
and Fairfax: the $3.50 Battalion
of Baltimore will post batteries
at Glen Burnie and Hartford,
Md, and the 684th Battalion of
Towson, Md, win have one
unit at a site between Ellicott
City and Randallstown.
National Guard missile sites
are operated much the same
way as a volunteer fire depart
ment. A nucleus of full-time
civilian technicians, usually 48,
man the equipment around the
clock, keeping it in constant
readiness.
These technicians are capable
of initiating effective fire
against the enemy. The Guards
men would report Immediately
to the Mix sites in the event Of
an enemy attack.
All "a of the batteries to 60

personnel now training at the
Army Air Defense Center, Fort
Bliss, Tex. The remaining mem
bers are training at Nike sites
under the supervision of reg
ular personnel.
-Four Guard batteries already
have been assigned to Nike
bases in the Los Angeles area.
The overall program calls for
the deployment of 80 Guard
battalions and 100 sites by June
80, 1862.

Milton r. Vessel, head Of the

organized crime. intends to
quit his post by the end Of this
year.
Mr.. Vessels unit is being
integrated into the Offices of
four United States attorneys
covering New York, Chicago,
Miami and Los Angeles.
The crime-fighter, a former
assistant U. S. attorney in New
York, was appointed to his
present position from private
practice about a year ago. He
said he took the job with the
idea of getting a program under
way and with that done to re-
turn to private practice.
Friction Recalled
At a recent conference of
United States attorneys here,
Mr.. Vessel outlined the plan,
the result of nine months of
intensive study Of reports and
records. Among other things, it
called for establishing special
racketeering units in the Offices
of United States attorneys
throughout the country.
Attorney General Rogers an
nounced yesterday that mem
bers of Mr.. Vessels unit would
be assigned to the four Offices
of United States attorneys to
act as the special rackets units
for those Offices.

One such telegram, from

to the heart Of the matter.

This is not yet true. But the

Mr.. Anderson resigned last

the only reason he was aware

Mr.. Vessel said yesterday
that he originally thought the
special unit would serve its
purpose better if it remained
a separate entity. But, he said,
he felt that some United
