THULE. Greenland. If war
comes, it will be total war, and
prevention Of such a holocaust
has become a total effort.
Here, at Americas northern
most defense outpost. the con-
cept Of farms and the man.
has become blurred. Time was
when military men went off to
do military jobs and the civil
ians stayed home. Not so at the
huge Ballistic Missile Early
Warning System (BMEWS)
station a few miles north Of
here.
The vital job Of early de-
lection of q Soviet rocket at
tack lies largely in the hands
Of civilians. Nominal control
rests with Air Force officers
but these number only about
10 among the 50O-odd men who
operate BMEWS Site /. The
actual work is done by civilian
employees Of an American prime
contractor, the Radio Corp. Of
America.
! Constant Vigil
Last year the Air Force paid
RCA SGT million to run this
vast complex Of radars which
poke their invisible electroniC
fingers deep into the Soviet
heartland. Around the clock
every day of the year, in the
bitterest cold Of q polar winter
night or the pleasant warmth
Of q mild Arctic day, the search
goes on.
Two BMEWS sites are oper-
ational at present, Site / here
and Site 2 at Clear, Alaska. A
third site, with somewhat diff
ferent equipment. is at Flying
dale Moor in England. OF these
Site is the biggest, the key
stone In the arch Of American
defense.
Strictly speaking, the
BMEWS line is not q defense
system. Rather, it is a part
Of Americas deterrent force
designed to prevent a Soviet
attack by insuring a massive
national ability to retaliate.
If the missiles start to fly
early detection by BMEWS will
not save New York or Wash
Iington-but viii surely doom
Moscow or Leningrad.
How II Works
The Thule base and BMEWS
are here at the top of the
world under an agreement be-
tween Denmark and the
United States, parties ir
NATO. Greenland, formerly 9
Danish colony, is now an in
tegral part Of the Kingdom
of Denmark.
BMEWS works this way: tt

Elected back to BMEWS. Typi-
cally, the return signal would
be only q trillionth Of q watt
strong = but this would be
enough to trigger BMEWS'
tracking radars and set its
computers to work figuring
trajectory and impact point.
BMEWS radars have de-
tected satellite debris as small
as a grapefruit at a range of
$500 nautical miles (roughly
the distance from Washington
to Salt Lake City or Ell Paso) i.
The electronic memory here
stores recollections of every
missile, spacecraft or piece Of
space junk" that has come
within its range since opera
tons began.
Complex Network
Most things launched at
Cape Canaveral cannot be de-
tected here; virtually every
thing shot in a north-south
orbit from Vandenberg Air
Force Base, Calf, and every
Russian launching, can be
picked up,
BMEWS is tied to Stateside
defense headquarters by a
complex network of communi-
cations that is-as nearly as
anyone can make it-fool-
proof, failproof and unjamma-
BILE. Communications in sup
port of BMEWS are account
able, in one way or another,
for the presence Of most of
the 5000 people at American
bases in Greenland.
Although RCA employees are
civilians. all are cleared for
secret" and most are retired
military men. They come to
the Arctic, without dependents,
for 18-month duty tours (the
military tour is one year,.
While a man cannot get
rich working at Site /, he can
lay aside a comfortable grub
stake because of q number of
pay advantages. RCA pays its
technicians here the going
Stateside rate for a 40-hour
week in any particular spe-
cialty.
Many Benefits
On top Of this, all workers
are guaranteed two days work
a week at time and a half.
Then RCA offers an "incen-
tive bonus" the size of which
is a company secret. The COM
pany pays the mans passage
to and from Thule. and his
board and room while in the
north.

the roads lnterferred with road
maintenance. He told Of an in
stance in which a state highway
scraper damaged a fender OF a
car and that two operators of
the scraper had to pay $40 for
damage to the car.
Meade Anderson who super
yises 2z.000 acres for land
company operating in the county
said. the laws are not stiff
enough and posted land doesn
mean thing to the outside
hunters. -
j. B. Boatwright, a former
state delegate, said he felt these
things can be enforced. He sug-
gested laws not allowing the use
of dogs in deer hunting and also
protested hunting in the snow.
Sheriff H. B. Adams said he
thought "a solution to the prob
lem is to let the game wardens
have the same authority that the
state police and 1 have, especi-
ally in reference to people park
ing and hunting on the high
ways"
John Mclaughlin told the
board, 1--WE must find solution
for the situation as it exists here
rather than keep persons away
from the county. 1t can be wiped
out if hunters abide by the law
and not exceed the limit" he
said
No action was taken by the
board. Thomas B. Hall, chair
man. thanked all present for
their interest and for the infor-
nation they had given the board
and promised that they would
give due consideration to every

the three feed grains. The rates
are: corn, Ii cents per busllel:
grain sorghum. Is cents per
bushel t29 cents per hunder-
weight and barley. IA cents per
Eushel. These price support pay
ments will be made to comply
ing farms regardless of the use
made Of the grain.
Hix said that the 1863 feed
grain program offers farmers
another opportunity to reduce
the surplus feed grain supplies
as they did i'll 1864 and 1862
Through COOPERATION with the
1861 and 1862 taed grain pro
grams. FARMERS voluntarily
held enough acreage out Of pro-
duction TO reduce the October /.
1868 carryoTer of feed grains to
81 million tons third less
than two years earlier. That
tWo-yeaf decrease in calryover
will result in an ultimate saw
ing to taxpayers Of over one
billion dollars.
