If there is any time, after 1 have given you the highli g hts of the news, I will talk·for a momenta about my journey home. But first, a a..a!ute to Ned Calmer who was on for me when I first took off tor New Guinea, and ■ an7 thanks not only to him, · but to ialter CDonkite who I hear handled things in grand style during ■ ost of •Y absence. ow the news? Here's an interesting item: - SUB SOVIET ROCKET Soviet Russia, tonight, announced the successful testin - of what is called the " ultimate weapon". The official statlnent is as follows: "A super long-distance intercontinental multi-stage ti, ballistic rocket was launched a few days ago. The tests of the rocket were successful. The rocket," the announcement goes on, "flew at a very high altitude - covering a huge distance in a brief time. The rocket landed in the target area. The results obtained," the statement continues, 11 show that it Js possible to direct rockets into any part of the world." The reactions 1n Washington are tentative. Officials declar1 . ng - the announcement does not give enough information And to make it clear exactly what the Russians teated. ~ it may not be any more advanced than the ballistic missile experiments in this country. We have not yet launched, successfully, a true intercontinental ballistic missile. But we have fired an experimental type, which traveled more than three thousand miles from the testing ground 1n Florida. SOVIET JET PLANES Russian jet planes will appear in this country, next month.
