The United States put its
200th intercont:nental ballistic
missile on the firing line today
when the Air Force declared
combat ready its last squadron
of Atlas ICRMs.
Qualified authorities estimate
the Russians have perhaps rs
to 100 ICBMs.
Activation of the 12-missile
Atlas squadron at Plattsburgh
Air Force Base in Northern New
York marks the end of the first
phase of the United States
missile buildup.
From now on, the new United
States missile Squadrons will
consist of the more powerful
Titan lis and the advanced
Minuteman solid-fuel weapons.
Within two years, the United
States will have in place more
than 1000 nuclear tipped in
tercontinental missiles capable
of striking targets more than
$500 miles away.

Nixon Deposition
Ruled Acceptable
In Hughes Suit

SAN FRANCISCO, Dec. 10
(AP) Frank j. Waters, Los
Angeles lawyer, is entitled to
take dispositions from former
Vice President Nixon and other
persons in the Waters $1,094,-
$50 suit against Howard Hughes,
industrialist.
The California Supreme Court
so held yesterday in overruling
a Los Angeles Superior Court
ruling.
Mr.. Waters says the money
is due him for legal services to
the Hughes Tool Co. from 1857
through 1860. Mr.. Hughes owns
the company.
In addition to Mr.. Nixon, Mr..
Waters wants a deposition from
Norris Poulson, former Los An
geles Mayor, and four other
men who are not identified in
the petition.
Testimony has never made
clear why Mr.. Waters wants q
deposition from Mr.. Nixon. The
latter's name has been mem
toned, however, in connection
with a $205, 900 loan by Hughes
Tool Co. to his brother, Donald
Nixon, in 1856.

San Diego to San Francisco

The 140-pound satellite was

Over the three-month period
since June l only 4 inches of

and light in Others" MI
Schmidt declared.
