out enemy planes on their
fields and spot missile-carry-

Code Operation Planned
The planes small crew would
then tell" the weapons which
targets to destroy. The rest
would be automatic.
All of this would be done
without special orders from the
home base, but the home base
would be kept notified through
quick, coded beeps on the radio
Headquarters could direct the
plane to a new territory or in
struct it to make special checks
of doubtful targets.
After its weapons were used
the RS-70 would climb back to
its most efficient altitude and
streak for home. On the way
it would rendezvous over the
Arctic with jet tankers which
left the States a few hours
previously. After refueling from
the flying filling station, the
RS-70 would go to an Ameri-
can recovery base for another
load Of bombs-if the war were
still going on.
All this is fine, skeptical
Pentagon civilians say, pro-
vided the bomber wouldn't cost
more than it is worth and if
someone could invent quickly
all of the radar, infra-red "a

Air Force Backs Costs
The Air Force reply is this:
The reconnaissance-strike Job
must be done. Although the
RS-70 cannot guarantee a per-
feet Job, 1t would survive and
fight better than any other
weapon now in sight. Therefore
the argument goes. the cost
would be worth the added Sc
curity.

RS-70 Dispute Pits Air Force
Against Pentogon Civilian Experts
BY RICHARD FRYKLUND
Star Staff Writer

Inc HS-IU-tne controversial
new Air Force bomber-is the
product Of the missile age. not
a throwback to an outmoded
method Of warfare.
In fact. If ICBMS were not
coming into the big-war arsenal
at a fast clip, Pentagon Of
ficials say the RS-70 concept
would not exist. The plane is
designed to complement the
missile force, not duplicate it
AS was largely true of its
drawing board predecessor, the
BIO.
The public dispute over the
RS-70 tends to center on the
value of the 2,000-mile-an-
hour, high-altitude plane in
comparison with missiles. The
persons working at the core of
the problem-military experts
on Capitol Hill, in the Air
Force and in the Office of the
Secretary of Defense - gen.
orally agree, however, that this
Is a wrong comparison.
The big and expensive plane
should be compared, they say,
with other cheaper bombers
which could be rejigged to do
the same job effectively, not
with missiles that would be as
signed other chores during a
war.
Whether the RS-7O eventu-
ally will prove to be worth buy
ing not even the Air Force
claims to know. But the Air
Force wants to speed and ex-
pand its development program
so that an earlier decision can
be made.
Extra S491 Million Asked
The House Armed Services
Committee, meanwhile, recon-
mended to the House last week
that an extra $491 million be
voted for the planes develop
ment and that the Secretary
Of the Air Force be directed"
to spend the money.
Secretary Of Defense McNa-
mara, President Kennedy and
all of the Chiefs Of Staff ex-
cept Air Force Gen. Curtis E.
LeMay, say the added funds
cannot be used effectively.
The current controversy
started last year when the Ken
nedy administration studied
the original BIO proposal and
was not impressed. The plane,
on paper at least, was a me-
chanical marvel. But the job
outlined for it by the Air Force
was not worth the billions of
dollars a completed fleet would
cost.
The Air Force proposed that
the BIO be given the primary
assignment Of bombing enemy
missile sites, bomber bases, air
defense installations, industrial
centerS and government con-
troll centers that had been 10
Gated before the war. It's Sec
ondary job would be to check
for targets missed by the
ICBMs and radio this infor-
nation back home.
Vulnerability Cited
The new civilian Pentagon
officials told the Air Force that
this concept seemed to make
little sense. BY the time the

U.S.. Submarines Bid
For ! ortons Stirs Scots

GLASGOW, Scotland, Mar
5 (AP).-A project to author
ize a tartan for use of Ameri-
can submariners based in Scot
fish waters is shaking the
Highlands. Reaction today
ranged from amusement to
explosive indignation.
A tartan is cloth into which
are woven plaids of many COL
ors and out of which Scotsmen
make kits. 1t is a high dis
tinction to have and be entitled
to wear a tartan. 1t is historic,
noble. protected by law. and
beware of wearing-in Inver-
ness, say-a tartan to which
you are not entitled.
Now American sailors man
ming a Polaris missile squadron
based at Holy Loeb want tar
tan of their own design and
have taken steps to register it
properly IN the archives of
heraldry.
Recognition Barred
Reaction in the Highlands
was immediate:

underwater service?"
Designed by Expert

Designed by Expert
The idea for the Polaris tar
tan came from Capt. Walter F.
Schlech, commander of the
submarine squadron, since the
submarine operation at Holy
Loeb is now a year old. With
his encouragement, a design
was made by an expert, Alex
ander Mcintyre of Strone.
whose family has been weaving
'tartans for 300 years.
The plaids he designed for
the American submariners are
blue for the uniform, green for
deep water and some added
lines which he said have deep
significance. He did not elab-
crate.
Designer Mcintyre was I'M
dismayed by the shocked OPP
position shown by Sir Thomas.
IF he doesn't register it We'll
probably go ahead with the
project anyway" he said. But
in that case we would call the
design a Check not a tartan.
There's no law against checks. "

Steers Rops SickIes
In Campaign Kickoff

Newton I. Steers, jr., Repub-

kicked off his campaign yester-
day at q gathering of workers
from the % counties and Balti-
more City.
Meeting at the Steers home
in Bethesda, the candidate said
he would stress three main is
sues In the campaign against
Democrat Carlton r. Sickles.
Raps Sickles
These involve Mr.. Sickles'
connection with labor, his sup
port by Baltimore Democratic
boss James H. Pollock and his
support Of a Congressional re-
diStricting bill which has been
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1962-06-17

petitioned to a referendum this
fall.
Mr.. Steers said Maryland
labor, leaders call Mr.. Sickles
"our boy" He said that Mr..
Sickles describes himself as
a Kennedy Democrat but when
organized labor deviates from
the Kennedy position Mr..
Sickles follows the labor posi-
ton.
I'm not anti-labor, I'm pro-
labor; but I will vote for the
interests Of all citizens" Mr..
Steers declared.
The Republican said Mr..
Sickles would not have won the
Democratic nomination if he
had not received the support
Of Mr.. Pollock, the controversial
Baltimore Democratic leader
whose publicized tape recording
created a Juror in the Demo-
cratic primary.
Mr.. Steers said Mr.. Sickles
should have repudiated Mr..
Pollack's support.
Voting Record Hit
He accused Mr.. Sickles of
voting for "self-interest" on a
congressional redistricting bill
which passed the Maryland
legislature last year. The bill
would set up q new Congress
sional district composed of
Prince Georges and Howard
Counties, and Mr.. Sickles, a
delegate from Prince Georges,
voted for it in the Maryland
legislature.
The Republican candidate
said the redistricting bill was
so unfair" that it was petit
toned to q referendum this
November by the Maryland
League Of Women Voters. Be-
cause Of this, the candidates
for Maryland's new Congress
sional seat, Mr.. Sickles and Mr.,
Steers, must run at large.
More than 80 key workers
from over the State attended
the day-long meeting at the
Steers home at 6601 River road.

In 1913, Mr.. Scull moved
with his family to Montgomery

business, and began specializing
in leasing and developing COM

joined q wide range of organi-
cations and learned q lesson

lar county Republican organi-
Zation.
There were many Of us who
wanted to work for the party"
he said. But all we were al
lowed to do was to lick some

Founded Chamber
This was the period In which
he helped found the county's
Chamber of Commerce, led the
first successful United Fund
campaign, and got awards for
civic activity.
In 1858, he led the United
Republicans, a group of
younger party members, which
defeated the regular G. o. p.
organization at the polls.
At that time, there were
only $50 workers for the Re-
publican Party in the county.
I'VE organized and worked and
now we have about 1000 in

he said.
Mr.. Scull resigned as chair
man Of Montgomery's State

started looking toward the
State scene. He found the same
situation-control Of the party

Now he is suggesting the
