for the MMRBM study and de-
velopment. For the current
fiscal year, about $50 million
was provided to initiate the
study. Mr.. Mcnamara has
asked that the fiscal 1854 budg-
ct include funding Of Sl43.l
million, Ito continue full-scale
development of the MNGRBM."
In submitting his request,
Mr.. Mcnamara said no decis-
ion has been made yet to pro-
duce and deploy MMRBMs, but
that nevertheless. / believe It
would be q good investment to
proceed with its development
at this time since we may need
a weapon Of this sort to fill
the range gap between the
Pershing and the ICBMs."
The Army Pershing weapon
has a range Of 800 miles;
ICBMs have been fired to dis
tances Of more than 5000
miles.
As described by Gen. Fergu-
son, the MMRBM would have
some features similar to the
Polaris, including a two-stage,
solid-propellant rocket engine.
However, Gen. Ferguson also
notes that q stellar inertial
guidance" Is being developed
for the MMRBM. This means
that in addition to guidance
information cranked into the
missile before launch IL also
will have device for taking a
sight on a star during flight
and correcting any deviation
in course.
The Polaris uses only the
basic inertial guidance device.

1.-THE Federation Of American
Scientists urged yesterday that
the United States make clear
that it will not unleash a mas
sive nuclear attack except In
retaliation to such an attack.
"Such a 'no-first-strike' poll
icy has not been clearly ac-
cepted by the United States, "
the scientists said.
They interpreted such a pol
icy as meaning that under no
circumstances would the United
States be the first to employ
nuclear weapons in any situa-
ton.
The scientists said such a
policy naturally assumes ade-
quate non-nuclear forces to
cope with a major non-nuclear
attack" But they said "a no
first-strike' policy could be an
nounced and implemented i'm
mediately. without waiting for
any massive buildup Of non
forces"
The federation defines itself
as "a Nationwide organization
of $500 scientists Of all dis
ciplines concerned with the i'm
pact of science on national and
international affairs"
The scientists said they dis
agree with those who argue
that Western strategic forces
might be able to execute an at
tack against Soviet strategic
forces that. would be likely to
disarm Soviets sufficiently to
protect the Western Allies
against devastating retaliation.

On Testimony
BY the Associated Press

Senate investigators said to-
day they have reserved the
right to override Pentagon CEN
sors In releasing testimony
from hearings on the disputed
contract for the Tx fighter
bomber.
The Investigations Subcom-
mittee, headed by Senator Nc
Lellan, Democrat Of Arkansas,
plans to start closed hearings
Tuesday.

ism or poor judgment figured
In the award of the estimated
$6.5 billion contract to Gen.
eral Dynamics Corp. There have
been reports the Job went to
the Fort Worth (Tex0 firm
despite recommendations of
military evaluation boards
which preferred a different
and purportedly lower-cost de-
sign.
The Tx project is intended
to arm the Air Force and Navy
with 1900 all-purpose fighter
bombers capable both Of blind
ing speed and Of towering"
over targets, and useful at al
titudes from very high to very
low.
Set Precedent
The contract for design, de-
velopment and production has
been described as probably the
largest Of its kind ever let by
the Pentagon.
Senator Mcclellan said the
press and public must be barred
from many of the hearings be-
cause military secrets will be
involved.
But he said censored tran
scripts Of testimony will be re-
leased, and the subcommittee
will insist on release of as much
information as possible.
Senator Mundt, Republican
Of South Dakota, senior COP.
member of the subcommittee,
said in a separate interview:
Were not going to allow
any censoring out of testimony
merely because it might en-
barrass somebody. :"
Both Senator'S said itappears
civilian Pentagon chiefs over
rode decisions OF military eval-
uation groups In awarding the
contract.
Favored Alternate
They said they understand
the military men favored
a rival design submitted by the
Boeing Co., of Seattle Wash.
Senator Mundt said the mill
tary boards commended they
saw many advantages, in ad-
dition to lower price, in the
Boeing design.
Senator Mundt said the Sem
ators are curious also as to-
why the Pentagon signed the
contract last December only a.
few hours after Senator Nc
Clellan had relayed TO the Of
flee of Defense Secretary Nc

subcommittee to withhold &C.

The official Republican Par
ty apparatus In Washington
appears TO be increasingly
geared toward the selection Of
Senator Barry Goldwater Of
Arizona as the party's 1864
presidential nominee.
A Congressional Quarterly
survey Of the activities Of the
Republican National Commit
tee and the allied Senate and
House campaign groups shows
the conservatively oriente d
Goldwater forces in numerous
key posts and If effective con-
troll of major party policy deci-
sions.
The situation is somewhat
reminiscent of spring 1860
when then-Democratic Nation
al Chairman Paul M. Butler
concluded that John F. Kenne-
dy was going to win the party's
presidential nomination an d
proceeded to make numerous
decisions favorable to the Ken
nedy cause.
AS some hackers Of Gov. Nell
son A. Rockefeller Of New York
or other potential G. o. p. can
didates have now begun to do
in the Republican camp. sup
porters of other Democratic
candidates in 1860 objected but
were generally powerless to
change the situation.
The current Republican Ma
tional Chairman, Representa-
tive william E. Miller Of New
York. is officially uncommitted
in the race for the 1864 nomi-
nation. But his initial appoint
ments of COMMITTEES chairman
for the 1864 national conven-
tion-including James c. Wood.
the national committeeman
from Senator Goldwater's home
State, to lead the Committee
on tickets-appear favorable to
the Goldwater cause.
Vacuum Of leadership
OF more immediate impor-
lance, sources close to the ma
tional committee note that Mr..
Miller is rarely present at the
committee offices to guide and
direct policy. As q result, they
say, q vacuum Of leadership"
has developed which has placed
decisions in the hands of con-
sentative committee personnel
who are neutral in favor of

ANB Holds High School Five. 5O-42

The Nome High School Nanooks tasted defeat for the first time this year last night when they bowed to the ANB five SOAP. Nome h. surance had soundly trounced the Merchants, 73-46. A great scoring balance highlighted the insurance men victory. Willie Willoya had 20, Milt "The Silt" Johnson had IT, as did Gary Beatty, while Corky Kost chimed in with 13. Tom Drake ripped the nets for Is big markers for the Merchants, but got little support from his mates.
 The Fighting Nanooks had the misfortune of not scoring a point in a disastrous second quarter which was more than they could overcome. Fashioning 15-14 first quarter lead, the High School lads couldn't push anything through in the next frame, to trail at the halftime 22-15. The Nooks' scoring drought continued after the inter mission, and the ANB quintet rolled to a 13 point margin before the High School began the long road back.
 Both teams now stand at 2-1 in the tough City League. The Nanooks now must face the un- beaten Nome Insurance Agency five on Friday at ' pm. The sec ond Friday contest will pit the Merchants against the defending champions, the Polar Hornets. Neither has claimed victory as yet this year.
 Chipping away point by point, the battling Nanooks crept as close as three points on two different occasions, but couldn't quite get the job done this night. Coach Ray Tinjum exressed much praise for the boys who fought so hard, but in the same breath, was dis appointed in the efforts of some of his charges.
