AT Plan Sees
More Aliases
For Squadrons
BY the Associated Press

The total of Atlas ICBM
weapons at launching bases re-
portedly would be increased by
IS missiles under a proposal
now being considered by the
Air Force.
The program currently calls
for an organization of l3
squadrons with 10 missiles to
a squadror-nine on launchers,
one in reserve.
Under the proposal, which
Secretary of Defense Gates said
yesterday was under study,
each squadron apparently
would have IS missiles. This
would lift the overall total of
Aliases at launching sites from
the presently programmed 100
to 1876.
Increase in Men Seen
Presumably, an increase in
the number of missiles per
squadron would mean an in
crease in the total of men in
a squadron. Under the 10
missile program, about TOO men
are planned for a squadron.
The Air Force now has part
Of a squadron ready with about
six missiles at Vandenberg Air
Force Base.
There was no mention at
yesterdays news conference of
any corresponding increase in
the size of squadrons of the
Titan ICBM. The Titan is still
undergoing testing.
Titan squadrons are expected
to be organized along lines
similar to the present plans for
Atlas outfits, with 10 missiles
including one spare.
POlaris Speedup Planned
Mr.. Gates also disclosed the
Navy is working on plans to
speed up its Polaris missile
submarine program.
The actual speedup will
hinge on results of the first
firing of a Polaris from a sub
merged submarine, set for this
summer. Other tests are sched-
uled in the meantime, he said,
including the armed firing this
month of a Polaris from under
water-but not from a subma-
rine.
Just about the time Mr..
Gates was telling a news con-
ference about Polaris prospects
yesterday. Vice Admiral Lyman
G. Rickover was telling a con-
gressional subcommittee that
the United States is "frittering
away" its lead over Russia in
atomic submarines.

bill, but who were in the mi
nority yesterday.
Il believe that now we can
settle down to the normal proc
ess Of legislating," said Senator
johnson, "the Senate has DEM
onstrated quite conclusively that
it wants to consider the issue
OF civil rights on the merits"
The Senate today will debate
a n OF her amendment which
would meet one of the main
Southern objections to the ad-
ministration bill. Offered BY
Senator Lausche, Democrat of

ClOture Rejected
Having defeated the liberal
attempt to limit debate by in
voking the seldom used cloture
rule, the Southerners aban-
doned for the time being their
continuous flow of oratory.
They appear willing to let the
Senate vote on some amend
ments while they wait to see
what kind Of a bill the House
will pass.
With this temporary truce in
the filibuSter, the Senate has
no immediate plans for re-
suming the around-the-clock
sessions which kept Senators
sleeping in the Capitol for
more than a week. Leaders

this evening until Monday.
Senator Russell of Georgia.
leader of the Southern oppo-
sition, indicated today the
leaders may have to invoke
cloture to get final passage of
a bill. This was taken to mean
the Southerners would not
voluntarily stop talking to let
the House bill go through.
Liberals Fall Short
The 20 to SO vote yesterday
against cloture was % short of
the two-thirds required to curb
Senate debate. The real sig
nificance of the vote, however,
was that the liberals even fell
8 short Of a simple majority,
which indicated that they lack
the votes to put more teeth in
the administration bill.
This roll call strengthened
the belief that both houses will
agree on a moderate measure,
with some form Of Federal
court referee plan as its main
feature, to see that all quail
fed individuals are permitted
to vote.

Delayed "a Hours
The launching was scheduled
for yesterday but was post
poned "a hours because of
fueling difficulties. The count
proceeded perfectly today and
the rocket lifted of on schedule.
The United States hoped for
success to bolster its position
in the space race with Russia.
The Soviets took a long lead
last fall with their two spec
tacular moon shots. Since then,
the United States failed in an
attempt to orbit a satellite
about the moon.
Although today's shot has
been widely called a Venus
probe" it would not come with
in several million miles Of that
planet in the foreseeable future.
However, it was designed to
explore conditions in the orbital
path of Venus.
The launching could be a
forerunner of an effort actually
to put a satellite around Venus
when 1t is in a favorable
position next January.
Two Others AIOft
Pioneer V poins two other
satellites which are DRIFTING the
sun-Russia's 1l2-ton Mechta
and Americas 13-pound Pho
neer ", both launched early
last year.
The newest probe will pene-
trate closer to the sun than
either Mechta or Pioneer w,
neither of which came nearer
than 81 million miles.
Pioneer w holds the current
interplanetary communications
record. Tracking stations re-
manned in contact with this
probe to a distance of 407,00O
miles before its batteries went
dead 81 hours after launching.
Pioneer ~ did not have solar
cells.
Pioneer V, in addition to its
radiation studies, will observe
meteorites and dust particles
in solar space. And it will COL
lect data on the suns ultra
violet and X-ray regions, which
when correlated with the plas-
ma and meteorite information,
should give a clearer picture
of terrestrial relationships.
Another mission is to make

Cost Put at $12 Million
In answer to questions NASA
officials estimated the overall
cost of the project at Si2 mil
lion to S14 million.
Ten minutes after the
launching of the 90-foot Thor
Able rocket from this missile
test center it was announced
that all three stages of its 1861
000-pound thrust engine fired
successfully.
Then in another 10 minutes
scientists reported that ground
stations were tracking the
probe normally.
BY far the most powerful
radio ever sent into space was
aboard the sphere to relay the
data back to earth.
DR.. Adolph K. Thiel, project
director for Space Technology
Laboratories, reported the pay
load was separated exactly on
time by a ground command
from the Jodrell Bank tracing
station.
Signals Operating
DR.. John Lindsay, head of
the space agency's solar physics
program. reported that a five
watt transmitter, smaller of the
two sets aboard-began sending
signals exactly on schedule
28l.5 seconds after launching.
The other transmitter aboard
is an ultra high frequency 150-
watt set designed to relay in
formation from as far as so
million miles in space, on
signal.
The larger transmitter will
not begin operating until the
probe is about five million miles
from earth. DR.. Lindsay said
this may be 80 days from now.
DR.. Abe Silverstein, director
of space fight programs for
NASA, said all the radio telem-
etry. channels were working
successfully. He called it a
very successful firing"
DR.. Homer E. Newell, deputy
director of space flight pro-
grams, said Pioneer v would
gather information much the
same as that provided by satel-
lites such as Explorer VII, which
follows an orbit in the part of
space travelled by the earth.
DR.. Newell explained that the
earth in effect carves a hole in
the suns corona or solar
nebula.
Pierces Radiation Belt
Between this giant cavity in
the corona, cut by the earth'S
orbiting, and the undiSturbed
solar nebulae is the dangerous
radiation area discovered by
DR.. James Van Allen and now
known as the Van Allen radi-
alton belt.
DR.. Newell added that in the
ISL days it takes the probe to
reach its perihelion or closest
point to the sun, other Satel-
lites will be launched. They will
take measurements to be COM
pared with those of the solar
probe.
He said that If Pioneer v
should detect a magnetic effect
or a cloud of particles, the sci
entists would want to learn
whether and when these reach
the vicinity of the radiation
belts or of the earth.
