A gleaming cigar shaped missile, believed to be the Air Force Thor, was launched from the missile test center at 9 25 a m. It rose 15 to 20 miles then curved eastward climbing on a long arc. The sky was clear and it remained visible for about two minutes after ground contact. This firing, if correctly identified, marks the fourth and only successful Thor launch to date with prior flights less certain. Assistant Defense Secretary Quarles attended the base and may influence decisions on Thor Jupiter or both in production.
