Australian Desert May Become Rocket Testing Ground

By WILLIAM STEWART Canadian Press Staff Writer

CANBERRA, Australia, Aug. 14- (CP) -— A vast central Australian desert area may become a rocket testing ground following its inspec- tion by a British military mission believed to have reported favorably on the site.

Tho British mission, headed by Lia-Gen. J. F. Evett, came to Aus- tralia in April and spent several’ weeks surveying an area northwest of Adelaide, capital of the state of South Australia. ’

Since the return of the mission, to Londorn, Australian newspapers‘ quoting information both fromi London and Australian govern-l ment sources in Canberra have dc-I clared that the rocket range pro-- ject will go forward.

The area chosen is said to cover about 200,000 square miles, extend- ing some 1000 miles from the areae

of the Ooldea range, near the, transcontinental railway line in South Australia, up across the

barren middle of the country.

The newspaper reports have said that up to 330000.000 could be spent for a start to set up a rocket assembly plant. maintain the huge range and provide compensation for aborigincs, the few inhabitants of the remote wasteland. who would
