...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.

To ease the pinch, the Justice Department favors a more moderate plan, under which Du Pont's stock in G.M. would go into a temporary, nonvoting trust, which in turn...

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...
