President Eisenhower will be at National Airport to greet the Queen and her husband officially on the evening of October 16.
The programme will undoubtedly include a State banquet given by the President at the White House. The Queen will also probably give a dinner in honour of the President and Mrs Eisenhower at the British Embassy,

From CHAPMAN PINCHER
Washington, June 12.
The succession of serious fallures during test firings of United States long-range, missiles cul- minating in the explosion of the glant Atlas yester- day is causing concern among British rocket experts stationed here,
Under the recent Bermuda agreement negotiated by Mr Meanillan, the Royal Air Force is depending on supplies of the 1,500 mile US rocket Thor as a stop-cap weapon until a tenger- runge British rocket is ready.
It now seems certain no Thors will be delivered to Britain be- fore 1001 at the earliest.
FIRINGS
Three recent frings of the Thor, which is being developed by the US Air Force, ended disastrously. One blew up while being fuelled, another exploded at launching, and a third had to be destroyed in erratic flight. Some mishaps are inevitable
