WATCHING THE WORLD
SkyboIt Raised Doubts From Start
BY CROSBY S. NOYE
Foreiqn Correspondent Of The StoF

Britain would be free to con-
tinue at its own expense.
The financial arrange
ments, no doubt, explain Brit
ish interest. The United
States was to bear the entire
cost of the research and de-
velopment of Skybolt. The
British contribution was to
be limited to the problem Of
adapting the missile to Brit
ish bombers and nuclear war;
heads.
AS 1t turned out, the orig
inal cost estimates were re-
doubled many times in two
years. time. To date, the
United States has spent $429.6
million. The British contri-
button has been $685. million.
1t is estimated that COM
pleting the program for pro-
duction Of 1000 missiles
would cost about $2.6 billion
more.
Runs Into Difficulty
On the technical level, fur
thermore, the project soon
ran into serious difficulties.
In December, 1860, Mr.. Gates
went to London and dis
cussed the problem with Brit
ish Defense, Minister Harold
Watkinson.
At this time, according to
American sources, Mr.. Wat
kinson admitted that Britain
had always recognized I'M
certainties of such a program
for research and develop
ment. Soon afterward Mr..
WatkinSon went before the
House of Commons and an
nounced that the Government
had an alternate plan in
case the Skybolt project
failed.
Three months later, in
March, 1861, the new Secre-
tary Of Defense, Robert S.
Mcnamara, again talked to
Mr.. Watkinson and made it
clear again that Skybolt was
a development program with
no guarantee of production.
A new memo of understanding
was drawn up summarizing
everything that had been
said in earlier negotiations.
. The warning that there
was still no commitment to
produce was repeated in May.
In September the British
were informed of the soar
ing costs of the program
and the mounting technical
difficulties.
3 Problems Remain
Three essential technical
problems remained-and still
remain-unsolved.
These are the guidance sys-
TEN for the missile, the data
processing system for tar
getting from an aircraft and
the reliability of the missile
itself. The problems involved
are illustrated by the fact
that an error of one foot per
second in the speed of the
plane results in an error Of
1000 feet at the target, while
an error of three minutes in
the calculated arc results in
an error of a mile. Compared
to Skybolt, the targeting and
guidance of d-based mis-
sileS are child's play.
A month ago the British
were alerted to the fact that
five tests of a Skybolt proto-
type had resulted in failure.
American experts at this
point estimated that the ear
lest possible date for delivery
Of the Skyoolt would be 1867,
cutting its effective period
Of usefulness almost in half.
They also decided that Sky
bolt was no longer essential
to the security Of the United
States.
And though British an
guish over this decision is
understandable, they can
hardly claim, in light of the
record, to be surprised.

The construction forecast for 1862 is that it will surpass the $50 billion market, 4.89o above the 1860 record. January construction figures were go above Decem- ber's and 7qo ahead of January of last year. The construction boom which has been a mainstay of busi- ness in the past decade is still un- der way.

Sgt. John Boucher Begins 10th Year

Sgt. John Boucher of the city po- lice department began his tenth year with the force this week, set ting a record for employment in that department, according to Po- lice Chief R. E. Vickery, who high ly lauded Boucher's years of serv- ice.
 Kodiak is fortunate in having a man of the high calibre of John Boucher" said Vickery, adding, His personal integrity as an indi- vidual, his loyalty and devotion to duty as an officer, have contrib uted greatly to the effectiveness and efficiency of the department"
 Boucher first came to Kodiak in 1949 while he was still on duty with the Marine Corps. In 1850 he married the daughter of local pio- neer family and he and his wife Sylvia now have six children: John Richard, Christine, Patricia, Kath- erine, and Elizabeth.
 At the time he joined the city police force on February T, 1853, there were only three men in the department. At the age of g, Boucher was the youngest.
 Today at 32, Boucher is youth full looking but seasoned veteran of police work who is especially noted for his effectiveness in dealing with youthful offenders.
 His keen interest in keeping watchful eye on sometimes errant local youths has resulted in keep ing many young offender out of serious trouble with the law.

 Said one to the other, "Now lis ten, you two,

 And you've never known a mother monk
 To leave her babies with others to bunk,
 Or pass them on from one to another
 Til they scarcely know who is their mother.

 And let the cocoanuts go to waste,
 Forbidding all other monks a taste,

The idea of educational research

painstaking and prolonged work, and,
most important in terms Of getting
the assistance Of the very best people
engaged in the subject matter to be

to interpret recent work, but to con-

Science is the Most Powerful Force

1T WAS not so long ago that many

research as consisting chiefly in meas

nesses Of great discoveries in many
elds-diScoverieS that have radi.
cally altered our views ofthe universe
and Of man himself and nothing

more surprises.
Many people, including some
splendidly educated in other profeS-
siOns, do not know enough science to
understand even in outline these new
advances. They live with little appre-
citation Of the most powerful single
force shaping our world. We're such
ignorance the result Of some congen-
ital deficiency in otherwise normal,
educable people, then there would be
little that we could do about il. 1t may
just be, however, that the very course

service would be rec established.
We decided to take the train.
The train would leave Chicago
at ten pm. and arrive in my
hometown at 4 am. The pros
pect of a long ride was not ap-
pealing, but it was necessary.
Hailing a taxi outside of the
airport, we started on another
leg of our journey which would
have ended at $3.50 pm. If we
could have made plane connec-
tions.
The cabdriver wheeled the cab
over the freeway and chatted as
all cabbies do. Twenty miles later
we were at Union Station in the
heart of the Windy City. Snow
was beginning to cover the streets
and an icy wind blew at our coat
tails as we lighted from the
cab.
There was a horde of people
at the station. Muffled in heavy
coats, they sat or stood waiting
for train. We had to wait over
two hours before we could board
the train.
The trip on the train was long
and wearisome. The train was
a local-local, that stopped at
every milk stop. We we're pulled
over to the side for several
minutes because Of our lateness
I'VE had been a half hour late
leaving the station.
At 4:30 ann. the train pulled
into Indianapolis over rails which
were being defrosted by fires
set by railroad workers. Our
trip was over after thirteen and
a half hours.
Waiting at the gate we're my
Mother Hattie and my Uncle
Felix. The porter put our bags
into the automobile and we drove
home in the breaking rays Of
dawn over the snowtopped
streets. We we're indeed glad to
be home again.

PERILS OF TRAVEL
AT CHRISTMAS TIME
THE DAY WAS very bright and
sunny as we drove to Sky Harbor
Airport. 1t was a perfect day for
a flight and Ed and felt that
this was the beginning of won
derful vacation.
1t will be a lovelier drive to
the airport from our home on
East Broadway when 24th Street
Is widened and paved. The view
to our beautiful field is also
marred by some unsightly piles
of debris along the route.
Turning into the airport drive
way makes one get the moving
spirit. 1t Is a little like seeing
the picture of someone eating a
delicious piece of apple pie a
la mode, then wanting piece.
We ran into a large crowd of
cars and pedestrians at the East
Wing of the airport. Cars we're
pulling in and pulling out at rapid
pace officers beckoned walkers
and drivers to and from the side
Of the streets.
Friends and families greeted
each other, some were kissing
and some we're crying. Reunions
are often sad and joyful, too.
Speed Is important at an air
port and preparing for flight is
sometimes less than desired for
haste. We we're checked in quickly
but the flight was delayed for
nearly half hour. A long walk
to the boarding gate takes lots of
leg power. 1t is equally hard on
the arms particularly when your
purse is loaded. Full arms make
those corridors Seem like miles
Of endurance.
Eagerly we placed our tickets
on the counter and waited for the
attendant to announce our loading
time. He told us boarding time
had been delayed for half hour.
Back we trudged over the long
path we had just completed. After
another twenty. minutes, we re-
traced our steps and appeared
again at the loading spot. This
time we we're able to get on the
plane.
There were many passengers
going home for Christmas in
many directions. One lady was on
her way to Fl. Wayne, Indiana.
We struck up a friendly CONVEX
sation and told her we we're on
our way to Indianapolis, Indiana.
Two men who worked for a
plant In Phoenix talked constantly
about the horrors of air travel.
Evidently they were not stout
hearted men or truthful enough
to say they we're afraid Of flying.
Their jokes concerned the pilots,
stewardesses or the plane.
The trip was pleasant and the
skies we're bright and blue all
the way from Phoenix until night
descended as we neared the Mid
west.
From $4,000 feet. towering
peaks are diminished to sand
table mounds and the clouds be-
come vaporous pools of foam.
Flying aboard jet airplane gives
one feeling of being inside of
giant airborne whale. something
like Jonah in the skies.
AS we approached Chicago,
night had fallen and the cleaning
lights of the suburbs twinkled.
