Unlike other SAC crews that are continuously making training flights and simulated bombing attacks, the airborne alert crew flies a casual course-"high-speed loitering"-that keeps it within striking distance of its targets. On the 24-hour orbit that will range across 11,000 miles or so, the pilot maintains a 400-knot "endurance speed," avoiding sharp turns and other nonessential maneuvers to conserve fuel. SAC's planners calculate that he is within reach of his target for 21 hours-known as "effectiveness time." In the remaining three hours, he is low on fuel and making a scheduled...
Guerrilla fighters at the key European operations center at Bad Tölz, Germany, sport a variety of languages ranging from Russian through most of the tongues and dialects of the satellite countries. During the training course, the officers and enlisted men parachute into simulated target countries. If, for example, the country is Hungary, they must know how to find a street in Budapest, be able to talk knowingly about the principal Hungarian poets, and know the proper words for romance. The Pacific center at Okinawa consists of a core of 350 men, well versed in jungle warfare, who operate...
President Kennedy, when he presented his education plan, said he would ask Congress to amend and expand the NDEA. The target of many universities has been section 1001 (f), which requires the taking of a loyalty oath and the filing of an affidavit disclaiming membership in or support of "any organization that believes in or teaches the overthrow of the United States Government by force or violence or by any illegal or unconstitutional methods...
...justified in reacting with suspicion to the Defense Department's announcement that it is putting out a new film called "Communist Target Youth." The movie is described as an effort to give an overall picture of communist penetration into youth organizations, yet it will treat such varied and complex events as the Venezuelan riots against former Vice-President Richard Nixon, this summer's student riots in Japan, and the demonstrations against the HUAC in San Francisco. None of these outbreaks are proven instances of communist activity. Venezuela and Japan, for example, are by no means simply cases of Red agitation...
...Also, if the Defense Department permits, the general public will see copies of it. No one quarrels with the Department's right to make training films, but it seems all too likely that this one will be just another sloganized distinction blurring piece of trash. If "Communist Target Youth" is anything like "Operation Abolition," the Defense Department is guilty both of misusing Federal money for a vicious, private kind of propaganda, and of showing a bad movie to captive audiences...
