Lieut. Thomas MacClure is 46 and springs from a long line of Scottish falconers, and as a re- sult has been assigned to direct the experiment. "I know. 1 can bring. them down," MacClure said with a soft highland brogue as he explained the anti-parachutist plans. Details are secret but circular knives will be strapped to the chests of Mag Clure's "first pursuit squadron with the intent that they will rip descending parachutists and cause The threo 'working' them to collapse in mid-air. Falcons, among the fastest birds in the world, can dive at 300 miles an hour. They attack by rolling over on. their backs and slashing out a drumbeat as- sault with their' fect...

ACTING Biking POWDER DOUBLE-ACT ING The main objective of these experiments, the Lieutenant point ed out, is to attack pigeons re- leased by opposition forces that have penetrated a front line and seck to notify their headquarters. "We can tell by-secing a pig- con in mid-air whether it's one of ours," MacClure said. If the sighted pigeon'is an uun- identified stranger, the Licuten- _ant related, front-line falconers will release a flock eof pursuers trained to capture the messenger and return with it. The species chosen for the ex- periments is the Peregrine falcon, native throughout the country. Most of the untamed fighters are to be caught in thé heart of New York. Within a few days Mac- Clure will swing out by rope from atop some of New York's tallest buildings to set his traps, made of net and baited with live vig: eons, on likely ledges.
