Tos< Bombing Hits At Radar By, REN METHERAL LAS VEGAS, Nev. (CP)--Toss bombing, a new low-level bombing technique, may render obsolete conventional radar defences guard- ing Canada's air bases in Europe. e technique, developed by the United States Air Force and still in the experimental stage, makes use of the well-known weakness of radar warning systems to detect low-flying airctafs. First details of the hush-hush project were dis- closed at a recent meeting of U.S. senators and civil defence officials in Washington, The new method allows a high- speec vlan terally to throw an atom veapon or other missile at an encmy karget from a distance of more than four miles with little or no advance warning. The tech- nique calls for the attacking air- craft to approach the targel at a height of less than 500 feet and speec xeess of 500 miles an hour. TOSSEV.
