“Covers Prince Edward Island Like The Dew"

Oi Rocket Blasted

LONDON (AP) scrapped production o “Blue Water" nuclear artillery missile Friday and stirred up a political tempest.

George Brown. deputy leader of the opposition Labor par and its defence spokesman, cused the government of mak- ing "the most calamltous and costly defence muddle ever."

He said Britain is still without any coherent policy of weapons program “despite 11 years of effort under nine successive (defence) ministers d u ri n which we have spent more than £16,000.000.000."

The cancelled missile isa 75-mile-range tactical support rocket originally due for army service in 1965. Its cancellation is expected to bring unemploy- ment to not less than 2.000 men at the British Aircraft corpora- tion’s plant.

FOR FIELD TROOPS

The surface-to-surface Blue Water missile was designed for troops in the field. Abandon- ment was decided upon, the ministry said. because of the increasing number and yield of other tactical weapons avail- iable for the North Atlantic ‘Treaty Organization. ‘ The ministry said the “gov- ernment will. of course. insure that the British Army of the Rhine continues to have the ne- cessary nuclear support to play its full part in NA '
