Brown approves mobile missile By FRED HOFFMAN AP Military Writer WASHINGTON (AP) - De fense Secretary Harold Brown has tentatively approved full scale development next year of a revolutionary new mobile in tercontinental missile that ulti mately could cost S3O billion, Pentagon sources say. Brown’s decision is subject to review by the White House Of fice of Management and Budget and by President Carter him self before it can go to Con gress early next year as part of the fiscal 1979 budget. Brown is reported to have okayed about $250 million for full development of the MX missile, now in a preliminary research and development stage, officials said Wednesday night. The MX would be the first U.S. intercontinental ballistic missile mounted on mobile launchers to make it much more difficult for the Russians to hit in a surprise attack in the 1980 s. Various methods have been studied, but the most likely one involves placing the MX on launchers that would be moved in trench-like shelters. The Russians have a missile, the SSI6, which is believed to have been tested in a mobile Sale 3 Days Only Thurs. Fri.

(AP) Turner defends spying as absolutely essential By DICK PETTYS Associated Press Writer ATLANTA (AP) - Even with sophisticated electronic equip ment, cloak-and-dagger spying is still “absolutely essential” for America’s intelligence gathering operations, CIA Director Stansfield Turner said today. But he said careful judge ments must be made “as to the lengths we will go in such clan destine activities,” weighing the country’s need for informa tion against what he called the country’s “fundamental desire” to deal honestly with other nations. form. The Ford administration had proposed to Congress last January that the MX be moved into full scale development in view of the continuing deadlock in U.S.-Soviet negotiations to ward a new nuclear arms limi tation agreement. Additionally, the Soviets have continued their deployment of a new generation of inter continental missiles, some of them big enough and powerful enough to threaten to knock out U.S. Minuteman missiles in their fixed underground launch ers. Carter and Brown decided to defer full scale development from fiscal 1978 to fiscal 1979 while certain technical ques tions were resolved, particular ly the feasibility of a mobile MX. Officials said Brown now has approved moving into the next stage of full development. They stressed that this does not mean the Carter adminis tration ultimately will approve production and deployment of the mobile missile. That will depend on the shape of a new Strategic Arms Limi tation Treaty which the United States is negotiating with the Soviet Union. Turner commented in a speech to an Atlanta group, and talked briefly later with news men. He said news media leaks of secret CIA information have oc casionally placed the agency at a disadvantage to the Soviet Union’s spying apparatus. But he said that overall, U.S. intelligence operations are su perior to those of the Soviet Un ion because they can operate what he described as more so phisticated systems and be cause CIA analysts, he said, have greater freedom to hon estly evaluate secret informa tion. He set the tone of his speech by saying, "We are very deter mined that the mistakes, or the perceptions of the mistakes, of the past do not reoccur...We are persuaded that the intelligence apparatus of our country cannot serve that country well unless it understands and is in tune with CRONIC CHEVROLET, - 77 Close Out Sale.

He said the agency has “no contractual relations with ac credited American newsmen” but that it does not discourage newsmen, as American citi zens, to pass along information to the agency, and is willing to reciprocate with unclassified data that might be helpful to them. Turner also said he hopes to improve what he described as a narrowing relationship with academicians, some of whom feel, he said, that cooperating with the CIA tarnishes their im age or hampers their profes sional career.
