- INTERPRETIVE REPORT
British Face Atomic Facts

Britain-if such a thing Is con-
ceivable - the small British
force could only make q dent
In Russia, but Russia could
wipe out Britain.
One remotely possible use for
the weapons would be in a
lame of "nuclear chicken,
This is a purely theoretical sit
uation in which two countries
drop atomic warheads on each
other lone at a time" in an
effort to get the other side to
back down in some dispute.
Despite the almost useless
ness Of its bombers, Britain
wanted the prestige Of a nu-
clear force, so 1t accepted a
militarily insignificant role and
kept quiet about 1t.
With the 1960s came the
missile age. Russia installed air
defense missiles which could
knock out British land Amer
ican) bombers.
Russia and America produced
missiles that can penetrate any
known defense. To continue to
pretend that it was taking part
in nuclear war, Britain had to
save missiles, too.
SkybOlt Relatively Cheap
The British sought a rela-
lively cheap one-the Skybolt
which was to be carried close
to the Iron Curtain by the
bombers it already had, and
then launched at distant Com
muniSt targets. The United
States was to pay the develop
ment costs and was to under
write a mass production effort
that would have brought the
Skybolt price down far enough
for Britain to afford 100 Of
them.
But the United States de-
cided to drop the Skybolt, and
Britain's nuclear pretenses
were left exposed. Hastily
covering his country's naked
ness, Mr.. Macmillan agreed on
Friday to buy PolariS missiles
for which he must provide the
extremely expensive submarines
and nuclear warheads. The
United States pays $l10 mil
lion for each sub without its
16 missiles.
BY British reckoning. ap-
parently, 100 missiles is q
minimum force. To keep 10C
PolariS missiles at sea, ready
to fire. Britain would need
about 10 submarines. Thi.
means an investment Of well
over 81 billion plus costly
maintenance and operation
for a force that will still re-
main only a gesture.
France Faces Problem
France faces the same prob.
lem. 1t is planning a bomber
force that will, like Britain's
be militarily insignificant
France can have the same
PolariS deal as Britain, but il
could get no more out CT it
The cost would be equally our
of proportion to the usefulness
of the weapons.
President Kennedy hope
both countrieS-and the othe
NATO membership see tn,
waste inherent in national nu
clear forces and accept the pro
lection Of American missiles
and bombers or cooperate IL
a NATO force.

tegic Air Command, British
bombers could join American
bombers in attacking Soviet
targets.
British officials recognized
that they could not fight alone
in such q war. With a couple Of
thousand American bombers
swarming over the targets,
British planes operating in
dependently could find their
targets already destroyed.
2. The British bombers could
have been - and presumably
were-given secret independent
targets to be hit in some war
the United States did not par
ticipate in.
In the first instance, general
war, Britain appeared to be
making a useful contribution,
but in fact 1t was just playing
a game.
Same Targets as U. S.
Since Britain takes her tar
get assignments from Omaha, A"
in the words Of a Defense
Ministry spokesman, 1t was not
really independent. Worse yet.
the American Air Force planned
to destroy all Of the RATS tar
gets itself.
Since British planes are
not under American command.
they are technically considered
by the Pentagon to be unrel-
able. American bombers always
have been assigned to wipe out
the same targets that Britain
has been given.
The British role in a war not
involving America was just as
absurd - because the British
government did not expect to
meet a situation where Britain
would really want to use its
atom bombs alone.
Any major European war i'm
mediately would involve the
United States. In some limited
war, Britain. would not want to
invite retaliation by firing A
bombs first.

Delaware Food Market
Report
BY ANNE HOLBERTON
Agricultural Extension Service
University of Delaware

Food stores continue to feature
meats and chicken for outdoor
grilling this weekend with fryers,
steaks, ground beef, bologna and
frankfurters all on special sale in
many places. Many stores are also
featuring charcoal and portable
grills at prices to appeal to the
outdoor cook
In general, however, meat prices
are fairly steady. Beef production
is running little less than a year
ago and this situation is expected
to continue for the next several
weeks. Pork has been in fairly
liberal supply and pork cuts are
often featured in the markets. Veal
and lamb usually in a seasonal
price decline, have remained un-
changed. The broiler market is up
seasonally although receipts will
not match those of year ago.
Frozen turkeys from cold storage
stocks continue low priced.
Don't overlook fish for outdoor
cookery. Fishing operations a e
now in high gear Local markets
have good supplies of bluefish,
porgies, founder, haddock, an d
ocean perch. In the shellfish line
check Holsters scallops and crab
meat.
Egg prices are low, in fact, not
since 1859 have eggs been so low

President Kennedy has been a pa

Recognizing the right of Cuba.
like all free and independent nations,
to run it's own affairs and choose its

the big stick on our erstwhile friend
and neighbOr, as some would have
done.
But the moment Cuba's new friend
and protector in the form of Soviet
Russia started erecting missile bases
from which an assault upon this hemis-

drew the line, just as he had warned
he would do.

This is a new day, a new age. A
Won of our world are not mere words
but a grim reality. We stand today on
the abyss Of destruction of all we have
and hold dear, here and now.
But all of the things we possess,

paid it..
"And one path we shall never
choose is the path of surrender or sub

might but the vindication of right -
not peace at the expense Of freedom,
