Making public first official de tails on the Falcon guided aircraft rocket GAR, the Air Force des cribed it as "the smallest guided missile in production and the only air-to-air missile with a ‘brain’ of ias own.” The slender, six-foot, blunt-nas ed rocket will be carried beneath the wing of such high-speed inter ceptor planes as the new FlO2 and possibly the present FB9. Both are long-range, all-weather jet fight ers. BLASTS TARGET The Falcon, under development by Hughes Aircraft Co. since 1947, soon will become a part of the regular armament of some Inter ceptor units, the Air Craft said. Movies shown reporters revealed how' the guided rocket, pointed on its way by the launching airplane, pursues its target despite efforts by the bomber to evade it. World War II 817 target drones disinteg rated as the Falcon plowed Into them. The Air Force said similar results have been achieved against jet-prQpelled targets. Announcement of the new mis sile find Retails on tits electronic wepe-iuued to coincide with a speech in Dayton, Ohio, by Assistant Air Secretary Trevor Gardner. He told an Air Force Institute of Technology graduating class that the Falcon will be one of the most important air defense devel opments since radar. ELECTRONIC BRAIN “What the American people will perhaps take greatest comfort in knowing is that the Falcon Is de signed for use in Air Force Inter ceptors at bases ih far-off Arctic regions and other locations many, many miles from our centers of population,” Gardner said. The missile apparently embodies a complicated electronic homing system which takes information from its target and can sense changes in direction in order to correct its own course. Most current guided missiles are directed from their launching plat forms or are unable to alter course after they are sent on their way. Six Die, 5 Hurt in Hotel Blae LARAMIE, Wyo.

Prostitute Held In Kidnap Plot OKLAHOMA CITY OP) Police held a 32-year-old blond prostitute today on charges of plotting the kid naping of an assistant county prosecutor “to arrange a meeting” with him. Officer said the blonde had been trying for months to entice Carroll Freeman, the prosecutor, on a date and had him kidnaped when all other means failed. June Wanda Bartpakn, 32-year old mother of five children, ar ranged the kidnap plot with her Negro maid and two Negro men, police said. Freeman was abducted Sunday and taken for a ride by the Negro men. They asked him questions about cases he was working on, threatened his life and then re leased him unharmed two hours later. “It’s fantastic, I know,” Free man said, “but this woman has been pestering me for a number of months. “She would telephone me at my office and want me to have lunch. I told her clearly each time I would have nothing to do with her.” Freeman said he first saw Mrs. Bartram when she came to him for legal advice.
