they would have only enough missiles
and bombers to wound the United
States and insure their own deStruc-
tion.
At the same time, duplicated-even
quintupled-electronic circuits made
it impossible, in theory, for communi-
cations to be cut simultaneously with
BMEWS and ADO headquarters.
But Gen. Power could not wait for
an explanation. He picked up the red
telephone that connects him with
every SAC base in the world and or
dered all bomberS on alert to taxi
to the runways and be ready to take
off.
Jet engines started to whine, and
crews ran pell-mell for their planes.
Hydrogen bombs were already on
board; each crew had it's list of tar
gets.
Back underground at Omaha, SAC
officers were going through their own
preparations for war and also looking
for possible defect in their commu-
nications equipment.

Gen. Power Notified

If it was the start of an attack, the
Strategic Air Command had only min
utes to act. Enemy ICBMs could land
on the United States within is min
utes of the time they crossed the
Arctic.
The officers swiftly informed the
boss of SAC, Gen. Thomas s. Power,
and also started a check with Air
Defense Command headquarters in
Colorado Springs, Colo.
But the lines to Colorado Springs
were found to be dead
There could be two explanations for
the dead lines and the signals on the
display board. Either an attack was
under way, or there was q foulup with
the equipment.
Both explanations seemed unlikely.

there were no intelligence reports of

threaten to wreck the Evian

be to lay the groundwork for
a vote on Algerian independ-

To succeed, they must first
overcome the savage resistance
of the Europeans Of Algeria and
the problems imposed by the
extraordinary isolation in
which they are forced to work.
Both problems are enormous.
No one can be in Algeria many
days without feeling the des-
peration Of the Europeans here.
And no one can take a trip to
Rocher Noir without feeling
that in some ways it's further

Omaha, Neb. Underground, near the

as always, before the huge display
boards that would be used to plot the

Suddenly, lights on a signal board
indicated that something had gone
wrong with BMEWS, the two giant
radar stations designed to detect en-
emy missiles high across the Arctic

SAC officers understood instantly

At the height Of the Berlin crisis
late last fall, signals at Strategic Air
Command headquarters indicated the
United States might be under attack
and hydrogen bomb LOADED planes
even rushed to the runways of SAC
bases all over the world.
The bombers did not take off. It
was false alarm.
The four narrowing minutes that
the alert lasted revealed a flaw in
SAC and Air Defense Command COM
munications. But it also showed that
the safety devices that control our

for the first time that SAC actually
has half its bombers on effective l21a-

Steel Terms Settled
Hailed by Both Sides
Pact Praised
By Kennedy;

BY NORMAN WALKER
Associated Press Staff Writer

PITT URGH, Mar. 81
Steel negotiators announced
today terms of a new two-year
labor agreement that was i'm
mediately hailed by President
Kennedy as fulfilling his appeal
for an early and responsible
settlement.
The pact waived any imme-
diate wage increase but pro-
vided a broad array of contract
changes including new vaca-
ton and retirement provisions
aimed at sharing work time IN
an industry hard-hit by unem-
ployment.
David j. Mcdonald, presi-
dent of the United Steelwork-
ers Union. said provisions for
longer vacations and extra
vacation time off for longer
service workers. together with
more liberal pension arrange
mentS,' should open work in
steel mills to thousands of
extra employees. He said he
did not know how many.
Labor Cost Increase
The agreement apparently
called for labor cost increases
in the neighborhood of 10 cents
an hour, as was reported in
advance. The estimate was sup
ported by an industry statement
that 1t would increase labor
costs about 2l2 per cent. The
union said no accurate cost
estimate was possible.
However. President Kennedy
in telephone message to Mr.
Mcdonald at the unions wage
policy committee meeting said
the settlement was obviously
non-inflationary and should
provide a solid base for con-
tinued price stability"
The union policy committee,
which had already ratified the
new agreement along with the
unions executive board, greeted
Mr.. Kennedy's remarks with
applause. The President praised
