JERICHO (CBS, 7:30-8:30 p.m.). When a radar expert has to be smuggled behind Nazi lines to study a new antiaircraft gun, an espionage team code-named Jericho is tapped for the job. With John Leyton, Marino Mase and Don Francks in the leads. Premiere...
...difficult to dodge; a total of 40 SAMs was fired last week. In addition, the Communists have developed a new technique that cuts the warning time that U.S. pilots formerly had when a missile was on its way. But the main menace is still the lethal curtains of conventional antiaircraft fire thrown up from thousands of sites, and which account for 90% of American plane losses...
Last week the peace was broken. On four separate days, American warplanes swooped in to bomb the demilitarized zone-and the antiaircraft barrage that greeted them did not come from Communist carbines and pistols. The whole western section of the DMZ was alive with North Vietnamese troops, elements of Ho Chi Minn's ill-fated 324th Division, which had been driven out of South Viet Nam last month by the U.S. Marines' Operation Hastings. Intelligence reports indicated that the 324th was no stranger to the area; rather than risk running the gauntlet of air reconnaissance and allied strongpoints...
...boldest single weather-control project, Project Stormfury, the Navy is now trying to prove that hurricanes can be steered or wiped out by seeding their centers with silver-iodide crystals. Russian antiaircraft cannons regularly bark over the mountains of Georgia and the hail-blasted steppes of Siberia, pumping tons of silver iodide into the sky at intervals of ten to 15 minutes until storms subside. In France, Meteorologist Henri Dessens has created le Météotron, a superstove that covers 3,200 square meters and has 100 burners that can generate 700,000 kilowatts of power to send...
...Minh's air defenders struck back last week. Eleven U.S. warplanes were shot down over North Viet Nam by antiaircraft batteries, MIG-17 jets, and a record barrage of 74 SAM missiles. A sleek new MIG-21 also showed up in North Vietnamese skies with air-to-air missiles that barely missed three American raiders. It was the heaviest week's action of an expanding air war, and it brought to 303 the total number of U.S. airplanes that have now been lost over Viet...
