Gives Glimpse Of Frightening Arms Array

WASHINGTON (AP) — Out of an official Pentagon briefing came an accounting Sunday of space weapons to rocket nuclear holocaust on an enemy and coun- ter his attacks.

Some are in existence; others are in development.

.From statements and answers by defence department experts, reporters learned that: ;,,Aaingle Polaris, missile sub- marine will be able to vaporize inland targets with more than , 100,000,000 tons of nuclear force f carried in more than 10 hydro- gen - headed intermediate range ballistic missiles. The first atomic submarine equipped to fire the Polaris is being built. Plans are being drawn for firing 1,500 - mile range IRBMs from far - ranging, high — flying planes, possibly driven by atom

tion is ready.

EYES ON FLORIDA

Radar eyes in Massachusetts now watch missile launchings in Florida. This is an easy-trick for the new 3,000-mile range equip- ment designed for detecting bal- listic missiles headed from Rus- sia toward North America.

Actual “hardware” to go into- anti-missile missiles is being fab-. ricated. Contracts have been let for building the warning line in the Far North to sound the alarm of approaching missiles.

Decoy missiles -- “Bull goose” and “Green Quail” — have been created. These are. intended to confuse an enemy‘s defenders by satur ' g his detection system, conc ing the true warheaded missiles hidden in the diversion- ary, phony flock of iron birds.

CHICAGO (AP) —- A possible new breakthrough in efforts to 8\I_lJDress certain human cancers with chemicals was reported to a national meeting of the American Cancer Society Sunday by Dr. Roy Hertz.

The chief of endocrinology branch of the National Cancer In- shtute. Bethesda, Md.,- said 16 women with advanced cancers have been receiving an anti- cancer chemical for two years.

He reported cells of one type cancer were duped into commit- Pig suicide by absorbing a chem- ical closely resembling a vitamin they needed for growth.

The cancer studied is a hor- mone - producing tumor called choriocarcinoma. It occurs in Women during the child-bearing M90955. originating from what '10l‘mally would be the after-bir-th “T Dlacenta.

Such cancers, generally rare, 5P1‘€ad rapidly and invade the lungs and brain. They usually kill

pregnancy. developing em- bryo also requires folic acid in great abund-am: to survive. In- vestigators believed the cancer also would require folic acid.

MOVED INTO CELLS

Chemists developed chemicals so similar to folic acid that they took a special place in the body’s cells and crowded out the vita- min.

One group used a compound called methotrexate, known as a vitamin antagonist. This chemical was taken up by the hum-an can- cer cells requiring an abundance of folic acid and they soon died. The normal cells requiring less folic acid were unharmed. '

Dr. Hertz said of the 16 women treated six have remained com- pletely free of "if ~nce of disease and five showed good response and a-re free of symptoms.

Three showe “decisive orig- inal response” and are continuing the therapy.

ets “a payload could be sent to the moon this year.” The pay- load would include transmitters for sending data back to earth in flight and a spotter charge to mark impact. ’(But the defence department has so far issued no orders for the air force to under- take such a project.)

HAVE “BIGGEST” MOTORS

The air force expects to ‘test- fire “the largest solid propellent motors ever built in the next few days.” (Since the navy already has ground-tested the rockets for its solid fuel Polaris missile, the air force claims seem to be that its rocket engine will be more powerful.) This was cheening news for a people growing fearful that Rus- sia was far ahead in weapons and space technology.

But the cheer was seasoned by a sobering thought: How many of these same things are Russia’s? A navy missile expert said the Polaris submarine, firing its mis- siles from beneath the sea, would possess “almost complete invul- nerability to countermeasures of all kinds.”

But don’t the Russians, like the Americans, have improved ‘anti- submarine equipment V and tech- niques?

“We must assume they do,” said the expert.

Reports from Alberton in- dicate there were intermittent power failures on Saturday even- ing followed by —a complete break in the power dines around 1 a.m. Sunday when two of the main power transmitter line glolis broke off near Rose- an .
