They do not agree 100 per cent

paigned for office last year
with essentially the same con-
sentative ideas on issues and
in approaching governmental
problems. They added that
they take no stand on party
candidates. or on such subjects
as the John Birch Society.
Representative Bruce of In
diana summed up Operation

against free enterprise and re-
strictive Of State and local

ton and the congressional
Democratic leadership push

of the people don't particularly
want" they contend.
A poll of the IA brought out
general agreement that PreSi-
dent Kennedy was thoroughly
likable and personally perSua-
sive." But most said they
thought he failed officially to
measure up to many major
problems, failed to take a clear
and firm stand on some issues,

ecutive branches of Govern

He and others contended
that, according to a strict
definition of the word, the
present Democratic controlled
Congress is "reactionary" rath-
er than progressive. They in
sisted that,s as conservatives,
they want to go forward in
preserving the country and its

that it was not as conservative
as they thought it should be,
but one member remarked that

spoke in the Operation Sur

Minutemdn Proqress

The security of the United States
and the whole free world has been
significantly advanced by the first sue
ceSSful firing of Minuteman intercon-
tinental missile from a 90-foot-deep
underground pit, or silo. Although
similar test failed last August, this one
has gone off so beautifully at Cape Can
averal, Florida, that development and
production of the weapon are now back
on schedule to meet its combat-ready
deadline of next summer.
Like the iquid-fueled Atlas and
Titan (Which was successfully launched
from silo last May), the Minuteman
travels at speed of about $4,000 miles
an hour and has range of well over
5000 miles. It's nuclear warhead is not
so big as those of it's two sister ICBMS,
but it is tremendous nonethelesS, and
1t has these compenSating advantages,
among others: C) It is simpler in
makeup and considerably more COM
pact; (2) it is much less expensive to
manufacture; and (3) its Solid-fuel
propellant, like that of the Polaris sub
marine missile, is far easier to handle,
and the weapon itself-which is stor-
able indefinitely without attention-can
be fired inStantaneously, in salvos, from
distant pushbutton control centers.
. When it becomes operational next
summer, as now expected, this marve-
louS instrument will be the object of a
swift build-up. To begin with, it will be
produced in sufficient numbers, and as
rapidly as possible, to establish three
50-misSile squadronS in the general
vicinity of Malmstrom Air Force Base
in Montana. These Squadrons will all
be in so-called hardened" launching
poSitions-in underground silo emplace-
ments topped by ten-ton Steel-and-
concrete lid designed to withstand any,
thing but direct nuclear hit. Thus,
in the event of sudden sneak attack
on our country, the aggresSor would
have to reckon with virtually immedi-
ate and devastating atomic-hydrogen
retaliation from us.
This deterrent already exists, of
course, in the manned bombers of our
Strategic Air Command, and in missiles
like the Atlas, Titan, Polaris and others
of a smaller, shorter-range character
Great as it is, however, the security pro-
vided by these formidable weapons will
be vastly increased when the operational
