for

sources said today.
The three ships are now
about 1900 nautical miles west
and a bit north of Hawaii.

knot speed will take them to
the range area, 1850 nautical
miles southwest of Honolulu, by
January II.
The ships presumably carry
instruments to be used to track
and perhaps guide Soviet missile

small ships also was cruising
in this range last fall during
Premier Khrushchev's visit to
the United Nations in New
York.
It was assumed at that time
that the ships were ready to
assist in some spectacular new
space propaganda stunt by the
Soviets. Space tracking trawlers
also were positioned in the
North Atlantic last fall, but no
Atlantic ships have been spotted
so far.
The Navy is keeping track of
the Soviet ships, but has not
started an active surveillance
program. The ships apparently
came from a Siberian port,
