Senators Ask Views Of Gardner
Washington Senator Jackson D. Wash said a subcommittee he heads will want to hear the views of Trevor Gardner on how to spur the Defense Department missile program. Gardner resigned as assistant Air Force secretary for research and development, urging a highly accelerated program on intermediate and intercontinental missiles. He said a crash program is badly needed and cited a shortfall in funding. He declined to answer if Russia leads in missiles, but urged rapid progress on both missiles. Jackson, chairman of a weapons subcommittee, noted Eisenhower’s remarks on American and Soviet standings and warned of fears about Soviet offensive missiles.
