Communist
China Claims
Missile Gains
U.S. Officials Say
No Nuclear Threat
Implied by Tests
WASHINGTON 0P) - Rec
China's claim to a successful test-
firing of a missile-launche
atomic device failed yesterday t
change the official U.S. stand tha
a number of years will elapse be-
fore a direct Chinese nuclear at-
tack can be launched against thi
country.
* The Chinese communist regime
without giving details, reported
yesterday a guided missile ha
carried a r nuclear device to its
target within Red China, and suc-
cessfully detonated the warhead
U.S. officials, without confir-
ming the report ' from the Ne,
4t China News Agency, referred tC
statements by Secretary of De-
fense Robert S. McNamara in
Paris last December saying Chi-
nese ability to attack is years
away.
Intensive Effort
At that time, the Pehtagon chief
said the Chinese were making an
intensive effort to develop a me-
diun-range ballistic missile which
possibly could become operationa)
as early as 1967.
McNamara also estimated pub-
licly the Chinese might be able t
deploy intercontinental ballistic
" missiles as early as 1975.
U.S. officials said there will be
no immediate step-up in American
efforts to establish an antiballistic
missile defense against the type
of attack China might be able to
mount in the mid 1970s.
$2 Billion
The United States has spent
about $2 billion in developing an
antiballistic missile defense sys-
tem known as Nike X.
U.S. officials said Thursday that
the Chinese report, which seems
to indicate they now have the
means to deliver an atomic war-
head for some unspecified dis-
tance, still does not necessitate
spending money on preproduction
of the controversial Nike X sys-
tem.
Buththese officials indicated
that the Chinese test, if it oc-
curred, will lead to complete as-
sessment of the antimissile de-
fense budget for fiscal 1968.
Decade Delay
While Communist China has
been working on ICBM's, officials
said it is doubtful their warhead-
equipped missiles could be deploy-
ed in less than a decade.'
McNamara is said to believe this
provides the United States with
adequate time for determining ex-
actly what the Nike X system
should consist of.
Nike X Saved
Development work on the Nike
G, however, will continue.
Some members of Congress have
differed with McNamara on just
how fast the United States should
move toward defending against
the Chinese atomic threat, and
what components should go into
the Nike X system.
Sen. Richard B. Russell, D-Ga.,
chairman of the Senate Armed
Services Committee, said recently,
"We have too much to lose to rely
complacently on an assumption
that the Chinese Communists will'
not have a ballistic missile capa-
bility before he can deploy a bal-
4 listic missile defense."

Ford Chairman Henry Ford II
said the company's net income for
the first nine months of this year
was $492.9 million, the second
highest in Ford history.
The record of $540.2 million was
set in the opening nine months
of last year.

the lowest third quarter since
1960 when it was $51.4 million. A

WARSAW, Poland (A')-The So-

pledged approximately a billion
dollars in goods and cash to Com-

Polish sources said yesterday.
They reported the war chest
was collected at the recent Soviet
bloc summit conference in Mos-
cow and written pledges have been
given to a representative of, Ho
Chi Min's Hanoi government. Of-
ficial confirmation could not be
obtained -here.
State Medics
Organ Tran
DETROIT (A)-A Michigan re-
search team reported yesterday
it has had some success in de-
veloping a serum that may help
enhance the body's acceptance
of transplanted organs.
Dr. Paul Wolf of Wayne State
University said the method in-
volved p r o d u c i n g antibodies
against the kind of white cells
that are part of the body's mech-
anism for rejecting foreign tissue.
So far, the medical team has
worked only with dogs, Wolf re-
ported in a paper presented to a
meeting of the American Associa-
tion of Blood Banks in Los An-
geles.
More Work Needed
He told a reporter in Detroit
that much more animal work
would have to be done before any
groundwork is laid for tests on
humans.
The approach is only one of
several in laboratories around the

Moscow's pledge was stated as!
$800 million and the total of the
other East European Communist
contributions as about $200 mil-
lion.
Asked if this is for an entire

nine months of 1965.
General Motors
Chryler's report came two days
after General Motors, the nation's
largest auto maker, announced its
third-quarter earnings had drop-
ped to $99.5 million, or 34 cents a
share, from $263.8 million, or 91
cents a share, in 1965.
Chryles said its sales, however,
have set a record for the nine
months so far this year, totaling
$4.10 billion, compared with a
previous high of $3.68 billion for
the first nine months of 1965.
Chrysler spokesmen attributed
the higher sales lower earnings
disparity to generally higher cost
for labor, materials, tooling and
engineering and the cost of added
safety features on 1967 cars.
