Big Baby Missile
Exploded Today
LAS VEGAS, Nev. ET.E — Amer-
ica's newest anti-aircraft defense,
an air-to-air missile with a mighty
atomic warhead, was exploded six-
miler. above Nevada Wednesday
with a blast powerful enough to
wreck a flight of enemy bombers
even in a near miss.
The "big baby" missile, with a
punch equivalent of perhaps 5,000
to 10JOO tons of TNT packed into
its mfc>, was launched* from an Air
Force B-47 jet bomber. It ex-
ploded in a gigantic multi-colored
burst above 30,00o feet amid smoke
trails laid by six F-8B Sabre jets.
The Atomic Energy Commission
and the Defense Department offi-
cially disclosed over a week ag«
that they would test this latest
weapon in America's nuclear ar-
senal. The joint announcement said
it was capable of destroying a fleet
of bombers without a direct hit,
missing even by a half mile.
