Missile Expert Talk~ to AAUW
"The hideousness of the results
of any unprovoked military
attack is of such magnitude
as to outrun the imagination
of the most vicious tyrant
in history," Claude C. Gage, a
Chrysler missile engineer, said
in Grosse Pointe last week.
Gage .addressed age n e I' a 1
membership m e e tin g of the
Grosse Pointe branch, American
Association of University
Women, at a meeting in the
War Memorial C e tit e l' sponsored
by th~ AAUW's InternatIonal
Relations Group.
A Grosse Poi n t e resident,
Gage is manager, structural design
section, Chrysler missile
division. He was introduced by
Mrs. Watson Ford, chairman of.
the International Rei at ion s
Group.
"From my rather pedeslrian
viewpoint we are beating our
"only potential enemy in military
weapons, from a time
standpoint," said Gage. "
"We stand today as two stalwart
opposing armies with a
boxing match going on between
them. ,
"Make no mistake. This boxing
match is in dead earnest.
Our opponent is improving his
ballistics as fast as he can, and
we better keep up. But he: isn't
going to use them if he can
keep talking "his way to victory.""
Gage said the United States
is behind Russia in the race
for space. He said we need "big
boosters to get off the ground,
and we have them coming." He
mentionf:d the Saturn, with a
Ph million pound thrust, which
has been "slowed down for budget
reasons to a possible shoot
in 1963."
He lpredicted a six-millionpound-thrust
rocket before the

"In the immediate f u t u r e.
this year or possibly next, we
will see a man replace Baker
and Able - a very necessary
substitutiOil if we are eyer to
take full advantage of our potential."
.
Describing the his t 0 l'Y of
rocketry, Gage said the Chinese
f.irst developed rocket power
during experimentation '" i t h
gunpowderaroimd ~200 A.D. A
successful rocket weapon was
developed in England in IB01,
with a range of several thousand
yards. These roclr~ts were
used against the United States
In the War of 1B12. Though
they accounted for the phrase,
"the rockets' red glare" in our
national anthem, the rockets
failed to win the war for
England.
