the present Teams performance of
aerial maneuvers in thrilling COM

formation. They also evolved the
BLUE ANGELS famous Diamond"
formation which is now their trade

A short time later the Team
changed their aircraft to the fast

until their early transition into
jets. LCDR Voris was relieved as
leader of the Team in 1947 by
LCDR r. A. Clark. Clark was in

one of two tentative con-

Either the Soviet Union has

of the gain must have been

the United States usually is as

Starting with comments by
Mr.. Khrushchev to Mr.. McCloy,
to Italian Premier Fanfani and
in a public speech, these ex-
pertS offer this analysis:
Soviet leaders are not given

the American experts say, to

Some American nuclear ex-
pertS see in Soviet Premier

of a l00-megaton nuclear war
head the possibility that Rus
STA has made an important
breakthrough on reducing the
size of nuclear weapons.
Mr.. Khrushchev told Presi-

irrational. He also claimed to

inz secrets applicable through
out the spectrum of nuclear
weapons technology.
The United States also has
been seeking greater efficiency
in nuclear yield but has been
seeking it to develop smaller
weapons. Some analysts believe
the United States should now
try to win the megaton race;
others believe the United States
has no need for 100-megaton
weapons and prefer to rely on
greater accuracy for present
sizes of nuclear bombs.
If the Soviet Union does base
its military strategy largely on
l00-megaton rockets, the ex-
pertS say, then the United
States may have to make some
changes in it's own military
arrangements. An effort would
have to be made, for example,
to devise better protection for
our offensive weapons so they
would not be destroyed before
leaving the ground. Also, the
search for defense weapons like
the antimiSSile missile would
have greater urgency.

implications Told

"a OONICG u1lVS W uCN6lOp
rockets with a 100-megaton
punch could, in the view of the
experts quoted here, have these
strategic implications:
/. Given present accuracy
Of Soviet missiles, with their
five to eight megatons of nu-
clear punch, the Soviet Union
needs a comparatively large
number of rockets to achieve
success in a first strike.
Consider this hypothetical
example based on the preSenta-
ton Of Presidential science adj
wiser Jerome Weisner at last
years Pugwash conference in
Moscow:
If the Soviet aim were to
knock out 100 of 200 American
retaliatory bases she. might
need five rockets per target,
or 1000 missiles, given a GER
tain level of protection and a
certain accuracy Of Soviet mis-
siles. II, on the other hand, the
Soviet Union were to increase
the punch Of its rockets by 10
to 20 times, it would require
fewer than five missiles per
target, perhaps only two. This
could result in a so per cent
saving in manufacturing IA
cilitieS for rockets and fuel.
There would be an added, huge
saving in concrete because
fewer hardened" underground
bases would be required. Per-
sonnet training programs could
be cut, because so per cent
fewer rockets would have to be
fired.
2. Fewer launching sites
would be easier to hide in the
closed Soviet society.
3. Extremely expensive hard
ening Of land-baSed missile sites
in the United States would be
needed to offset sharp increases
in Soviet attack power, or might
even make permanent ground
based launching sites for mis-
Siles obsolete.
4. Railroad-based nuclear
missiles would be more vulnear-
able. The American rail net
might be subjected to a satura-
ton bombing attack in which
the bigger bomb would be effec-
tive. Submarine-based nuclear
missiles also presumably would
be more vulnerable to 100
megaton blasts, but tests would
be needed to get an accurate
picture Of the radius of kill.
5. Soviet strategic planners
could make their attack plans
with much more confidence in
obtaining conclusive results.
Temptation to attack would
thus be greater. AS for the
country attacked, the impact
would be greater and more sud-
den, although how much this
would add to the confusion of
a lower-powered attack is I'M
certain.
Other Advantages
6. Fewer weapons would be
used, and the amount Of radio
active fallout actually might be
reduced, especially if the non
fisSion trigger were to be used.
But designers would have the
option of increasing fallout,
notably in target areas.
Z. Instead of squandering all
the savings resulting from more
efficient warheads on power,
Russia might decide to add
more guidance equipment to
improve the accuracy of the
rocket.
8. Or Russia might take the
United States course toward
naturalization, making small
