Atlas Missiles Soar In Fourth Test Flight At Cape Canaveral
The U S Air Force launched the Atlas intercontinental ballistic missile at 10 48 a m EST amid a bright flame and smoke. The test reached a shorter range than the full 5000 miles and was deemed successful by the Pentagon. President Eisenhower and Senator Johnson weighed in with cautious encouragement as observers watched from beaches near Canaveral. The Atlas, built with Convair, aims to carry a hydrogen bomb and is seen as the American response to Soviet capabilities.

Bush urges unified command to end service rivalry
Senator Bush, a member of the Senate Armed Services Committee, called for a unified command as the only way to end rivalry and wasteful competition among the armed services. He argued the Joint Chiefs system prevents effective war planning and leaves the chairman powerless to resolve conflicts.
