Sky boll Missile
For Britain Is
In the Works
LONDO\T — A reappraisal of
Britain's defense policy — hitherto
linked to the Skybolt missile—was
reported in the works Saturday.
As Defense Minister Peter
Thorncyeroft canceled a visit to
Germany and planned to fly home
from the Paris NATO conference,
a British aircraft chief warned
that any replacement for Skybolt
should be British.
Sir Roy Dobson, leader of Bri
tain's aircraft contractors, said in
a letter to the Times that the
government should not rely on the
United States to provide Polaris
submarine missiles as a replace
ment for Skybolt.
interdependence has led us,” he
said. Before falling into the same
trap again let us see what we can
do on our own.”
Sir Roy is managing director of
t h e Hawker - Siddeley Aircraft
group and president of the Society
of British Aircraft Constructors.
The Skybolt, a bomber-borne
missile designed to be fired 1,000
miles away from the target, has
cost the United States nearly $500
million and has had a string of
five firing test failures.
Britain abandoned her own
plans to develop a similar missile
and agreed to buy the Skybolt
to keep here V-class bombers from
becoming obsolescent. Bombers
provide Britain’s only atomic
punch at present.
The United States, however, is
considering dropping the Skyboit
because of the cost and the time
lag in development
If you take your wife to Las
Vegas, Nev., don’t bring her there
in moccasins. A survey showed
that women could play the slot
machines for only 2 Vi hours at a
stretch when wearing high heels
but four hours in flat shoes.
