By JOSEPH ALSOP WASHINGTON (Special) According to an official report that has been presented to the National Security Council, the Soviet Union is now overtaking the United States in the air-atomic weapons race. As of now, by this report's estimate, the frequently mentioned "American lead" may be expected to become a Soviet lead in the period 1960-1965. The basis of this estimate is the expectation that in 1960-1965, the Soviets will enjoy a decided superiority in inter-continental ballistic missiles. These are the multiple-staged rockets that will be able to carry A- or H-bomb warheads, at speeds of many thousands of The sheriff said that Peterson Hilda Topples Trees, Buildings in Tampico TAMPICO, Mexico uw Hurricane Hilda, with winds at her center of 125 miles an hour, pounced on this already flooded oil port today.

Claim and counterclaim from each side continued to cloud the exact situation of the revolt, which began Friday. Broadcast Repeated The broadcast seeking negotiations, first heard here at noon, was repeated regularly every few seconds after that. With the announced purpose of averting bloodshed, it asked that fighting cease at the present lines. There was no immediate reaction from the rebel fleet in the River Plate. Land operations in Argentina's four-day revolution seesawed in a welter of contradictory reports.

Both sides claimed Cordoba, third largest city in Argentina, and other disputed points in central Argentina, focal area of revolt. At one point both government and radio broadcasts reported jubilant, flag-waving victory celebrations in the streets of Cordoba. Earlier today a government communique reported an attack on Puerto Belgrano. A communique said ''complete normality" prevailed over the country except for "centers of resistance in Puerto Belgrano and the rapid re-equipment of the So passed almost directly over the base. inating the possibility that the man viet Air Defense Command with the new Russian day and night The big storm headed for Vir had tried to get out before he died.

Tampico started feeling the effects of the hurricane yesterday. Gusts grew in intensity all night, lashing the downpour through the streets.

Cloudbursts and backed-up water from tides and pounding waves have swamped huge sections of the city. Gladys torrential rain set off a record flood. The waves and high tides backed up the Panuco River Coodwaters, which spewed out and covered some 20 new sections of the city. Only one highway was open for relief measures. Rail lines are out and planes and ships were held at bay by the storm.

Soviet progress in guided missile development. As has been pointed out before, the Soviet guided missile effort has been organized on a Manhattan District pattern, with a comparable priority, ever since the Cordoba," but this claim was disputed by rebel radio committee. In addition, large numbers of other eminent experts were employed as consultants, so that a total of about fifty of the most highly qualified men in this country joined, in one way or another, in the Killian Committee's work.

Mats of Information The committee was given complete access to all the huge mass of information available to the American government. It labored for many months, twice requesting and twice receiving extensions of the deadline that the National Security Council had originally set for its report. In the end, rather more than two months ago, the committee laid before the President a unanimous report, with no significant dissents on any point. It was transmitted by Pres. Eisenhower to the National Security Council.

The N.S.C. then passed on the report to a narrowly restricted circle of policymakers in the State Department, the Armed Services and the Central Intelligence Agency. The policymaker's comments and recommendations must now be-returned to the N.S.C, where the issues raised by the Killian Report will presumably be debated and decided when the President returns to Washington. Such is the background and history of this disturbing document. Three main factors are known to have led the KUlian committee to the somewhat bleak conclusions set forth above.

The first factor, which is almost old hat by now, was the continuous build-up of the Soviet A- and H-bomb stockpile. Although by no means so great as the American stockpile, the Soviet stockpile of weapons of destruction is still becoming great enough to be decisive. With both giant powers enjoying relative nuclear plenty, the most important measure of the balance between them, of course, becomes the capability of delivering the absolute weapons, rather than the number of those weapons in stock. The second factor, which was long suspected and finally positively confirmed by the so-called Moscow overflights last spring, was the massive Soviet production of high quality and long-and medium-range jet bombers and night and day jet fighters. The Russian strategic air force is being rapidly re-equipped with "Bisons" and "Badgers," which to American targets.

The report that the National Security Council now has before it also includes recommendations for reversing this unfavorable trend in the Soviet-American balance of power. But these recommendations will be difficult, if not impossible, to implement without upsetting the Administration's present budgetary and fiscal plans. Such, it can now be revealed, are the essential results of the most important and intensive high-level study of the relative curves of Soviet and American armed strength that has yet been attempted. The study was made by the Killian Committee, so called from its chairman, the president of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Dr. James R.

Killian Jr. Noted Committee The committee, which included both leaders of science and leaders of industry, was set up by the National Security Council by direction of Pres. Eisenhower, in the troubled aftermath of the second American H-bomb explosion at Eniwetok in the spring of- 1954. Technically, the Killian Committee was a subcommittee of the President's Scientific Advisory Committee, on which Dr. Killian serves under the chairmanship of Dr.

Lee' A. DuBridge, president of The California Institute of Technology. But in practice, the Killian Committee was virtually another name for the Scientific Advisory Committee, with the chairmanship temporarily transferred from Dr. DuBridge to Dr. Killian, and with a number of additional members co-opted for this special study.

Eesides Dr. Killian and Dr. DuBridge, among those who served were Dr. Norris E. Eradbury, director of the Los Alamos Scientific Laboratory; Dr.

Charles Lauritsen, professor of physics at California Institute of Technology; Dr. I. I. Rabi, professor of physics at Columbia University and chief scientific adviser to the Atomic Energy Commission; Dr. Jerrold Zachar-ias, director of the M.I.T.

C. Telephone lints were down, but scanty radio reports indicated damage there was not too serious. Center Located At 8 a.m., the Weather Bureau located the center of the storm near Cherry Point She was traveling north-northwest at 12-15 miles an hour and was expected to continue on a course between northwest and north for the next 12 hours.

After that the storm was expected to veer to a more north-northeast course. The heavy rains already have spread into southeastern Virginia and will continue to reach out as much as 250 miles ahead of the hurricane center. Tides up to 8 and 10 feet above normal were forecast near the storm center to the north and east and as much as 3 to feet above normal in some sections well in advance of the hurricane. "All precautions should be continued for protection of life and property against dangerous winds, high tides, heavy rains and local flooding caused by thus hurricane," the Weather Bureau warned. Rains up to six inches were forecast as the storm moved relentlessly toward the northeast where last month's Connie and Diane caused tragic Hoods.

The fear of floods equaled that of wind and tides through the East and Northeast, where rampaging rivers took more than 200 lives and caused untold damage after August's Hurricane Diane dumped torrents of rain on Pennsylvania, New York and New England. move the body, before attempting to haul the car from the river. Car Removal Difficult Sheriff Cook said that the embankment was so steep that it was impossible to haul the car up from the Highway 16 side of the river. He said that a wrecker was dispatched to the other side of the river to tow the automobile out-Peterson was born Aug. 18, 1903, on a farm near Lanesboro.

end of the last World War. In America, the Eisenhower administration has stepped up outlays on missile development, and very important successes have already been achieved with the shorter range missiles. Yet even today the American guided missile effort is essentially organized on a business-as-usual basis. It is not excluded that the United States will have an intercontinental missile by 1960. The Air Force's ATLAS project, for a true intercontinental ballistic missile, or the NAVAJO project, for a long-range ram-jet missile, may well have produced a prototype by that date.

But after reviewing all the evidence concerning present development curves, the members of the Killian Committee concluded that we should expect the Soviets to enjoy an important predominance in intercontinental guided missiles from 1960 to 1965. The committee's judgment, in short, is a judgment of relative strength, and not a judgment of absolute strength. But it is nonetheless significant for all that, as is shown by the committee's reported analysis of what may be called the phases of the Soviet-American power balance. In short, if the projections of the Killian Report are correct, the report demands a series of distinctly painful choices. Furthermore, the time scale covered by the Killian Report's projections is very short, in terms of the slow process of weapons development and weapons production.
