Navy Tests
New Missile
Underwater
WASHINGTON (?P)—The Navy
said yesterday it has test fired a
dummy Polaris ballistic missile
from underwater for the first
time. -
The missile, the same size,
shape and weight as the 1500-
mile-range Polaris, was fired
March 23 from a new "pop-up"
launcher off San Clemente Island,
near Los Angeles.
Rear Adm._ W. F. Raborn, head
of the Navy's Polaris program,
showed motion pictures of the
event.
They disclosed the dummy mis
sile, apparently about 30 feet long,
popping up through the smooth
surface of the Pacific and rising
several hundred feet in a geyser
of spray.
Then the orange-colored missile
angled over and plunged ose first
back into the water.
Raborn, director of th- special
projects office of the avy Bu
reau of Ordnance, told a Navy
League symposium on .eapower
that the Polaris would .e ready
for use in 1960, or about the date
originally set for the be:,inning of
tests.
Raborn said the basic problems
have all passed from the scien
tific to the engineering stage.
This means, he said, that no new
breakthrough or sensational ad
vances in development are re
quired to carry the nikw weapon
system into reality.
Robert E. Gross, chairman of
the Lockheed Aircraft Corp., Bur
bank:- Calif., told the group the
Lockheed Polaris is the only one
of the nation's ballistic missiles
that is now ahead of schedule.
Raborn said the Polaris would
bring within the range of direct
attack from the sea virtually all
the important military targets in
that part of the world controlled
by the Communists.

As Cuban Uprising Blazes
HAVANA (JP)—The Cuban re

hit-and-run guerrilla raid and a
30-ton dynamite blast' set off by
Fidel Castro's saboteurs.
Explosion of a huge dynamite

shattered windows in S antiago,
nearly 12 miles away.
The dump in foothills below the
town of El Cobre contained 60,000
pounds of dynamite. The force of
the jolting explosion apparently
was funneled eastward down the
hills toward Santiago, Cuba's sec
ond largest city.

Cobre before dawn and occupied
the town briefly.
Reports reaching Ha - Vana said
they first burned the city hall and

further destruction when resi
dents pleaded that flames would
sweep the town of 2000.
El Cobre is one of the most re
vered places in Cuba as a Roman
Catholic shrine.
