Airborne Radar
Keeps Constant
East Coast Watch
WASHINGTON UP) — The A.r
Force disclosed today an airborne
radar screen is keeping a missile
defense watch along the Eastern
approaches to North America.
Lt. Gen. Herbert B. Thatcher,
commander of the Air Defense
Command, announced four-engine
patrol planes, operating out of
Otis Air Force Base, Mass., main
tain surveillance by means of a
new electronic defense known as
Airborne Long-Range Input
<ALRI>.
iiicucnex aiso uisciusea uui in
auguration of the airborne system
was a significant factor in the
Air Force decision earlier this year
to discontinue operation of the
Texas tower radar stations off the
New England coast.
He said the new system demon
strated that the ocean-based Texas
towers could be shut down with
out loss of adequate air defense
radar.
Thatcher said planes patrol hun
dreds of miles out at sea to pro
vide an improved air defense shield
over the coast and far beyond the
range of shore-based radar and
line-of-sight radio communica
tions, he said.
Thatcher said the new system
attained operational status this
week after extensive operational
tests.
From the altitude vantage
points, the flying radar stations
sweep the horizon seaward in all
directions. The system is designed
to guard against surprise attack
from any flight level, right down
to the water.
Target information is automat
cally processed and transmitted to
East Coast centers by way of shore
based communication relay points
and goes directly into computers to
become an active part of the air
defense function.
The one-kilowatt ultra high
frequency transmitters employed
are “among the most powerful
ever to be airborne,” Thatcher
said.
The new system was developed
for the Air Force by Electronic
Communications, Inc., St. Peters
burg, Fla.

Critic Reverses Stand
On Nuclear Ban
WASHINGTON UP — Sen. Hen
ry M. Jackson came out today
in favor of the lim'ted nuclear
test ban treaty, sayin- its risks are
serious but acceptable.
I he Washington Democrat, wno
served as President Kennedy’s
Democratic National Chairman
during the I960 Presidential cam
paign, had been generally re
garded as one of the treaty’s prin
cipal critics.
In his announcement today,
Jackson said he was compelled to
conclude from the evidence that
the agreement involves “serious—
perhaps even formidable—military
and technical disadvantages.” But
he added that with assured safe
guards for the nation’s security,
“I believe that the Senate may
prudently give its advice and con
sent to ratification.'
Jackson’s removal of himself
from the doubtful list enhanced
the chances for ratification of the
pact by a substantial margin over
the necessary two-thirds majority.
TELLER WARNS OF DANGERS
SAN FRANCISCO UP — Dr. Ed
ward Teller says United States
ports could be inundated by tidal
waves caused by offshore nuclear
explosions.
The University of California
physicist told the Pacific Coast As
sertion of Port Authorities “It
is impossible to make port facili
ties resistant to attack.”
He recommended underground
storage of materal to insure rapid
reconstruction from any nuclear
attack.

GOP Chairman Slams
Kennedy Lust for Power'
CHICAGO ufl — Mrs. Clare H.
Williams, assistant Republican Na
tional chairman, said today a
Democratic controlled ‘'creeping
Congress” reflects “lack of con
viction, courage and consistency
in the White House.”
Mrs. Williams, of St. Peters
bunrg, Fla., told a closing session
of the National Federation of Re
publican Women that “the Presi
dent continues to accelerate his
requests for both power and money
in his drive to expand executive
power and to weaken the legis
lative branch of our government.”
She said Kennedy made 88 re
quests for money and 29 for Pres
idential power during the last
session of Congress, but ‘‘in this
current session, in the first six
month only, he has made 207 re- :
quests for money and 70 requests
for Presidential powers.”
“All thoughtful citizens now re
alize,” Mrs. Williams said, “that
the power-grabbing Kennedy Ad
ministration is thus presenting us
with one of the gravest issues of
our time — the protection of the
fundamental form of our govern
ment given us by our founding
fathers.”
“No one branch must assume
the powers of the others, although
many men have tried,” Mrs. Wil
liams said.
