Kennedy's blue, white and sil-

After the usual ceremonial

Skybolt Loses
Favor with
Top Officials—
WASHINGTON u—The trou-
ble-plagued Skybolt, an air-lau-
nched missile that gave the man-
ned bomber hope for longer life,
may be headed for the discard.
A final decision has not been
made. But informed sources say
that as of now Defense Depart-
ment budget drafters are not
planning to allot money for the
1,000-mile-range missile next
year.
These sources said the project
is in serious trouble-and not on-
ly because the Skybolt has suf-
fered five test flops in a row.
It was reported the Skybolt
has lost favor with top Penta-,
gon officials.
They were said to have come
