Air Force Withdraws Manual Tied to Churches Link
The Air Force pulled an instruction manual after the National Council of Churches denounced it as linking churches with communism. Secretary Dudley Sharp ordered an investigation, with the council citing passages alleging Communist influence in American churches and education. Time magazine later highlighted Kadena Air Base airmen’s club activities on Okinawa, funded by slot machines and offering lavish perks, while Defense officials said they would not comment until reviewing the report.

Ike Challenges Defense Critics Plans TV Talk
U S and Britain plan a 1960s high power radar station at Fylingdales Moor England to spot Soviet missiles thousands of miles away. The 120 million dollar installation, 1400 feet long and 165 feet high, will operate with 600 civilian technicians and be part of a three station system with Thule Greenland and Clear Alaska set for completion by 1961. The British will run the site as US officials estimate a 98 million dollar US cost and 22 million dollar UK share. The station sits four square miles under a two mile long heat guarded fence amid a northern hemisphere missile detection network.
