BIGGER AND BETTER V.2'S
Received Friday, 7 p.m. LONDOJN, July 18. Britain lias planned an all-out efl'ort to develop an importanfc group of weapons of which the German V-2 : was the most conspicuous example, ; said Sir Alwyn Crow, Director of i Guided Projectiles. He said a de- • velopment centre was already establislied at Westcott where a stafi is being huilt up. The construction of new facilities in Britain would ; prohahly take one to two years. The recruitment and training of J scientists would be the main probieni. i If Britain wished to evolve bigger { and hetter V2's, new industrial I capacity must be developed. The j Ministry had already contacted pri j vate lirms and was discussing the j manui'acturing problems with them. J Guided missiles, though tliusfar : used only militarily, had other j important possibilities. There was thporetieally no limit to tlieir range ! but there might be an economic limit.
