Wl Manufacturers of the Northrop Snark guided missile said today the weapon now has a range of more than 6.300 miles. It heretofore has been credited with 5,000 miles.

Able to cruise for 10 hours at almost the speed of sound, the Snark was described as the only current weapon capable of low altitude attack upon virtually any target in Soviet Russia.

Thus Snarks can be flown ahead of a B52 bomber attack as decoys to cut down enemy interception of U. S.

A fourth helicopter with the flight commander aboard was reported to have returned to Red Bluff although he was not available to newsmen Dennis said the crashed craft were several hundred yards apart, apparently ruling out the possibility they had collided in night.
