(NATO) will begin the produc
tion in Europe of F-104G Star
lighter aircraft under an agree
ment approved by five ministers
of defense representing Belgium
Italy the Federal Republic of Ger

cooperative effort made so far
in the development and produc
tion field for the common defense
of the NATO countries.
A subsidiary body of NATO

will contribute to the deve
lopment work for the F-104G.
The program is expected to last
about four years during which it
will employ over a hundred firms
and thousands of workers in the
participating countries.
Over 1000 Starfighters are ex
pected to be in service with
NATO forces at the completion
of the program. The majority of
these will be produced in Europe
The F-104G is a multi-purpose
aircraft designed for all-weather

Army Rifle Team Preps
For Annual National Match
FT. BENNING Ga. (AFPS)
There'll be two targets at the Na
tional Rifle Matches this year ac
cording to Col. Robin G. Mont
gomery the U. S. Army Rifle
Team and the bull's-eye.
The commander of the Army
A an a an it
made this statement upon return
ing from Ft. Niagara N.
where the Army team is training
for the 1961 championships at
Camp Perry Ohio in August.
"Our Army rifleman now hold
the lion's share of national honors
and every shooter on Camp Perry
ranges will be gunning for them"
Col. Montgomery said adding that
the Army team is preparing to
take on all comers.
Under the direction of Maj.
Raynold Dobak members of the
team rise at four o'clock break
fast at five take a half hour of
rigorous physical training at six
and fire their first shots a half-
hour later each morning.
Individual and team firing con
tinues until dark with but a scant
three-quarter hour lunch period.
An organized program of off-duty
activities prevents dulling of shoot
ing eyes by the constant grinding
course of training.
Highlight of the training has
been the shooting of a perfect
250-32V score over the National
Trophy Individual Match course
by Capt. Verle Wright who fol
lowed with a score of 100 but of
100 points for 20 shots at a range
of 1000 yards.
Capt. Wright equalled the all-
time record for the National
Match course and his score at
1000 yards saw 16 of his 20 shots
land in the 20-inch "V" ring to
give him a perfect day of firing
without loss of a single point.
The team will continue in train
ing until the end of July when it
will break at the New York post
and go to Camp Perry for the
championships during the first
two weeks of August.
