Radar Called Weak Link In Safeguard (Continued from Page 1) only, with the question of future deployment to be reviewed annually in the light of world conditions. But, Mansfield said, the Pentagon appears to be going ahead immediately with "a vast program to convert the entire nation into a missile Maginot." -Sen. Mundt, said in a newsletter to his constituents that Nixon made a correct decision to meet "the vital necessity of maintaining a strong deterrent as the most effective method to preserve peace. -Sen. Stephen Young D-Ohio, argued in a Senate speech the decision was the result of military-industrial pressure "for costlier, more intricate defense systems (that will) be obsolete before The luncheon briefing marked another round in the continuing debate over Nixon's plan to deploy a modified antimissile system.

The project, newly named "Safeguard," would deploy around IGBM sites defensive missiles designed to intercept and destroy, with nuclear weapons, incoming enemy missiles. Rathjens questioned the Pentagon viewpoint, spelled out in detail Friday by Secretary of Defense Melvin R. Laird before a Senate subcommittee, be that Russian development of an advanced missile is an effort to develop a first -strike capability. Rathjens estimated the Safeguard program could result in expenditures of $10 million to $100 million each 1 to protect Minutemen missiles costing $4 million. He said he is not opposed to the idea of defending the U.S.

deterrent but said the Safeguard with what he termed its vulnerable radar, is not the right one. AP Photo Port Commissioner Named Chicago Mayor Richard J. Daley (left) contemplates a question during introduction of Capt. V. J.

A. L. Philpott of Henry County protested that Rawlings and his group are trying to write statutory law into the constitution. A Republican resolution to prohibit cities and counties from supplementing the state salaries for judges introduced by Del. John Dalton of Radford was killed 64-31.

Dalton argued that supplements judges now received from local governing bodies could put judges under too much pressure and they ought to receive adequate salaries from the state. The House by an overwhelming voice vote, rejected another -sponsored amendment introduced by Dalton setting up a Missouri-type "merit system" for the selection of judges. A similar amendment was defeated in the Senate last week.
