Army urges immediate Jupiter IRBM production
Army Secretary Wilber M. Brucker told CBS Face The Nation that the Army should start producing the Jupiter intermediate range ballistic missile now. He said the nose cone and re entry technology are solved and the Army can build missiles, while noting the Defense Department may still decide between Jupiter and the Air Force Thor or both. He argued the U S leads Russia in IRBM development and that Russia probably leads in 800 mile missiles. The remarks came as a Senate preparedness panel opened hearings on the missile race with Dr Edward Teller sounding renewed alarm. The committee also heard that a satellite launch could occur before March and Lockheed has a contract to study a reconnaissance satellite for launch in the early 1960s. The House Government Operations Committee began an economy investigation.
