GUIDED MISSILE RESEARCH
BRITAIN AND U.S. TO COOPERATE (N.Z. Press Association—Copyright) i WASHINGTON, July 20. Britain and the United States were “getting closer to accepting each other’s ideas” about guided missiles and new weapons, the United States Defence Secretary (Mr Charles Wilson) told a pres conference today. He said both countries already had made arrangements to co-operate in research and development, and that talks now in progress should make them more workable. Mr Wilson added that this co-opera-tion would be increased by more frequent consultations and visits, and by the release of information on new developments. He also looked forward to the standardisation of some new missiles. Mr Wilson said he was very pleased that Field-Marshal Lord Alexander, the British Defence Minister, was now in Washington for general discussions. “I am sure we are going to profit by this exchange of ideas about the mutual problems of our two countries in the defence area,” Mr Wilson added.
