POLICY
Continued From Page A.

Continued From Page Al
vances comes a skyrocketing in
vulnerability for American in
tercontinental rocket power
which forces on Russia the
formidable task of outdistanc-
ing this country Al in missile
production before it could at
tempt to destroy United States
nuclear rockets in a first at
tack.
Russia must convert its 1-3
disadvantage into an advantage
Of Al or more in order to make
a surprise attack on the United
Statse feasible. Without this
preponderance United States
retaliatory power would make
such q first strike suicidal.
Minuteman missiles in their
protected sites require an at
tacking power to use four rock
cts, given reasonable accuracy,
to knock out each firing silo.
Considering the relative ease
with which the United States
can allocate resources, as COM
pared with the Soviet economy,
| 1t probably would take decades
for the Kremlin to reverse the
odds.
Soviet Premier Khrushchev's
depolyment Of medium-range
nuclear rockets in Cuba, frus-
trated in it's early stages,
blocked off a desperate attempt
to narrow the missile gap.
344 Missiles Ready
The United States repeatedly
has 344 nuclear missiles on
operational status that are
capable Of reaching the Soviet
Union.
Two hundred Of these are
ground-based, 20 of them the
quick firing Minuteman.
In addition there are 144
nuclear rockets deployed be-
meath the seas in Polaris sub
marines, also with specific tar
gets in Russia.
Russia is estimated to have
about 100 nuclear rockets
capable of striking the United
States, most of them ground
based IN the Eurasian land
mass
At the same time the Soviet
Union has a glut Of medium
range nuclear missiles, many Of
them pointed at Western Eu-
rope, others ready for deploy-
ment within striking range of
the United States if bases can
be found.
The nuclear-missile race took
q sudden turn in the, United
States favor, according to au-
thoritative assessments hSre,
when Russia discovered the
powerful rockets that it uses
to launch satellites were too
bulky for quantity production
and use as intercontinental
ballistic missiles.
SkybOlt Debate
Premier Khrushchev's boast
that the Soviet Union was
turning out rockets like sau-
sages" applied only to the pro-
duction of medium range mis-
siles, it Is now believed.

committee would pay for the
calls.
The Government has not
played an active part in the
negotiations, he said, and spec
ulation about its role would
damage prospects for release of
the prisoners.
Mr.. Beckman said some of
the requested instruments have
been considered of strategic i'm
portance and shouldn't be sent
to a Communist country. On
this, Mr.. Guthman commented
that any goods that might be
sent to Cuba would be cleared
first by the Commerce Depart
ment.
! Meanwhile, drug industry
sources said in New York initial
contacts on the exchange were
made with individual COM
panies in October by Mr.
Donovan.
The question of whether the
industry should take part ir
the effort was discussed wher
the Pharmaceutical Manufac'

A Good Cause
One source said the Manu-
, facturers Association decided
the cause was a good one anc
that the industry should supply
the drugs.
/ Drugmakers may have been
particularly sensitive to the re-
quests because of the wide
spread attention the industry
received during recent congress

and testing practices, and also
because Of the furor about the
drug thalidomide.

Papers" Prepared

Papers" Prepared
The British have protested
vigorously, since they had
counted on buying 100 Skybolts
to maintain their nuclear de-
terrent power. Mr.. Kennedy is
understood to have suggested
several alternatives to Mr.. Mac
milan. including making avail
able Polaris missiles for ad-
aptation to British submarines
or merchant ships. Some dis
cussion Of the possibility of
Britain carrying forward devel-
opment of the Skybolt on her

Minister assigned Defense Sec
retary Mcnamara and British

meant that "an agreement in
principle has been reached on
the Skybolt problem"

Mr.. Evans and Mr.. Salingel
twice postponed a Joint pres
conference yesterday. presuma-
bly, in the hope of being able
to announce an end to the Sky
bolt controversy when they did
meet with reporters. They fl
nally appeared practically emp
ty-handed in the conference
pressroom at 8 pm.
They did announce that the
Skybolt problem was laid aside
during the afternoon for an
hour during which President
Kennedy, planning new action
to meet what he considers seri-
GUS danger of Soviet moves to
take ever the Congo, won Mr.
Macmillan's agreement that
there was grave danger of q

Congo.
Mr.. Evans also told news

his own policies and starting
out just like Hitler did If

America we will have no per-
sonal rights"
Mr.. Hoffa is accused Of con-
spring to violate the Taft
Hartley Act and with illegally
obtaining a million dollars
through a dummy company
from a Michigan firm whose

Hoffa Plea Of
Kennedy Bias
Ry the Associate ted Press

James R. Hoffa, Teamsters
Union president, today was
denied a Supreme Court hear
ing on his complaint that Presi-
dent Kennedy and other high
Government officials had pre-
JUDGED a grand jury against
him.
The grand jury, sitting In
Orlando, Fla, returned an in
dictment charging mail fraud
against Mr.. Hoffa and Robert
E. Mccarthy, jr., a Detroit
bank employee.
Justices White and Goldberg
took no part IN consideration of
the Hoffa appeal.
Counsel for Mr.. Hoffa and
Mr.. Mccarthy asked dismissal
of the indictment on the ground
they were deprived of a fair
grand jury through the con-
scious and deliberate instiga-
ton Of propaganda hostile" to
Mr.. Hoffa by officials of the
Federal Government.
Kennedy Statement Cited
A statement made by Mr..
Kennedy during presidential

of the dismissal request. Mr..

Mr.. Kennedy has made public

he has enough evidence to con-
vict him."
United States District Judge
Joseph P. Lieb in Tampa re-
fused to dismiss the indictment.
He quashed subpoenas that had
been issued for Government
officials, and ordered trial Of
Mr.. Hoffa and Mr.. Mccarthy.
Judge Lieb found Mr.. Hoffa
had failed to prove the conten-

had prejudiced the grand jury.
Dismissed an Appeal

That tribunal granted a Gov
