Can the United States mis-
siles be paralyzed by gigantic
nuclear explosions hundreds of
miles away from their under
ground silos?
Nobody In the United
States knows.
The Soviet Union may
know from observing the eff
fects Of its big 1961-62 nuclear
shots, ranging from 30 to so
megatons. The United States
noted some of the effects by
monitoring the Soviet tests,
but probably lacks the infor-
nation the Russians have.
The magazine Missiles and
Rockets has reported that Gen.
Thomas s. Power. commander
of the Strategic Air Com
mand, warned the Senate Pre-
paredness Subcommittee Of the

This would permit subse-

criticized last night by repre-

They called 1t "unrealistic"

The objects Of their attack
were the 40-year general plan
proposed by the staff Of the

Those at the dinner meeting

the City Council last night.
Although the structure would
exceed the present seven-story

pressed general support for

agreed, however. TO meet with
the planning commission to dis
cuss the desirability Of permit

the question Of when the Sears

Mr.. Price is in the Nations

He says he likes 1t that way.
He thinks actors should have
strong interests apart from

He says public speaking Il

career that he finds it hard

ton even from sixth-grade stu
dents, let alone the Library Of

"An actor needs an audience,
even between roles" he says.
