...operational status are the U.S.'s "strategic penetration aids," i.e., air-to-ground missiles designed to be lifted almost all the way to target by subsonic 6-47 and 6-52 intercontinental jet bombers, then let fly at supersonic speed at ranges of 100 miles or more to dump hydrogen warheads onto targets. Just about operational is the Air Force's 100-mile, 1,000-m.p.h. Bell Rascal, already in pilot production. North American's Project WS-131B is an experimental supersonic hydrogen-warhead item with a 350-mile range. And Convair's new supersonic...
...alert force 30% more range. The Air Force has contracted for 30 test supersonic delta-wing B58 bombers for phasing in beside the medium B-473. Already SAC has its first operational intercontinental guided missile: Snark, a lumbering air-breather that cannot break the sound barrier but can dump a thermonuclear payload (as it proved in a flight test last week) on a target less than five miles in diameter at a range of 5,000 miles. A really hot Air Force prospect is Rascal, an air-to-ground missile for firing from B-47s that can hit a target...

...with them ambitious requests for Soviet rubles to build roads, railroads and a Euphrates irrigation dam to rival those that Iraq is building downstream with its oil royalties. Now would be seen how much Soviet Russia intended to do for the Syrian people, beyond making their country an arms dump...
...farm, George rose from a Georgia lawyer to associate justice on the State Supreme Court. Elected to the Senate, George began serving (1926) on the tax-writing Finance Committee, soon was recognized as the Chamber's tax expert. He fought off Franklin Roosevelt's 1938 attempt to dump him as no "liberal," countered: "I'm a liberal within limitations of the Constitution. I'm sure the people of Georgia want a voice in the Senate, not an echo." But over the desegregation issue his voice was too moderate, and Georgian shifted support to former Governor Herman...
