McNamara issued an order yesterday giving the Air Force control of military space development. McNamara told the various branches of the Defense Department that he and Deputy Secretary Roswell Gilpatric have decided to assign space develop-ment programs and projects to the Department of the Air Force, except under unusual circumstances. However, under the exceptions, the Navys Transit navigation satellite program and the Armys Advent communications satellite development program still will remain under control of those services, Defense spokesmen said. Part of the Advent program is carried on at Fort Monmouth. Except for these two programs and others which may be considered special circumstances, the Air Force will have responsibility for all military space development.

This accounts for 91 per cent of the $850 million worth of military space research projects in the present budget. Actually, the new McNamara directive was an extension of one issued in 1959 by former Secretary Neil McElroy. In his memorandum, MrNamara said that he and Gilpatric had become convinced that the space program could be much improved by better organization and clearer assignment of responsibility. In answer to a question, Arthur Sylvester, assistant secretary for public affairs, said the new directive "does not basically change the McElroy policy: it clarifies and sharpens it.
