Atlas Missile Test Succeeds amid four-launch attempts
The Atlas missile achieved its second success in four attempts though not at full range. It travelled its prescribed course and plunged into the Atlantic southeast of the Cape Canaveral launch site. Watchers saw a cloud of white smoke and a bright flame trail as the craft rose, fading after three minutes. earlier tests failed, a December 17 flight reached 600 miles, and full-range trials are not expected until late year.
