The head of the Soviet rocket
forces has admitted that his
countrywide the United States
lacks an effective anti-missile
defense.
Marshal Nikolai I. Krilov,
commander in chief of Strategic
Rocket orceS, said in an article
in Sundays issue of Izvstia,
that existing systems Of anti
aircraft and anti-missile de-
lenses cannot ward off nuclear-
armed missile attacks"
Observers here called this a
significant admission in view
of the fact that the Russian
people have been led to believe
that Soviet scientists had been
perfecting an anti-missile mis-
sile. Just IL days ago at the
November z anniversary cele-
bration, the Russians exhibited
a rocket which was said to be
such a weapon.
Soviet Premier Khrushchev
himself has boosted that Rus
sian scientists had perfected a
rocket that could hit a fly"
u. s. Draws Distinction
American experts have long
commended, however, that it is
one thing to hit a single rocket
and another to set up an effec-
tive missile system against a
barrage of rockets. The United
States Nike-Zeus rockets have
destroyed incoming rockets in
tests but officials say this Gov
eminent has not perfected a
system that could repel an
actual missile attack.
Marshal Krilov's statement
confirms the opinion held by
many top United States mill
tary and scientific experts that
an effective antimiSsile system
is not possible. During last

The free world need not feel
its military strength is inferior
to the Communist bloc when
facing any kind Of war, small
or large. nuclear or nonnuclear,
Secretary Of Defense Nc
Namara says.
In a speech before the Eco
nomic Club of New York last
night, Mr.. Mcnamara said the
administration apparently has
failed to convey" the size or
the purpose of the armed
forces to the public.
Because of this. he said,
there are critics who maintain
that I'VE have literally hun
dreds Of times more strength
than we need; others have &C
cused us of risking the whole
future of the Nation by en-
gaging in unilateral disarma-
ment."
To set the record straight,
he outlined the problems in
various-sized wars and the
American and allied response
to them.
1t all added up to superiority
in big wars and parity in small
ones.
Here's the Mcnamara run
down:
About NUCLEAR WAR
Even after a successful sur
prise Russian attack, the
United States could destroy
the attackers society" The
United States has more than
500 disable 1CBMs, 160 Polaris
missiles and 600 bombers on
alert and sure to reach Russia.
Mr.. Mcnamara did not spe-
city the number of Russian big
war weapons, but he indicated
that Russia could get about
$50 bombers to North America.
Other sources say the Rus
slams have about $50 ICBMs
and $50 submarine missiles that
could hit coastal cities.
Shelter Programs Role
These Russian weapons could
kill anywhere from 40 million
to 80 million Americans, Pent-
agon sources say. They reduce

question Of Soviet achievements

fecting an antimiSSile system
and that it was necessary for
the United States to test
nuclear weapons in the atmos-
phere to keep abreast of Russia.

In other words, both sides
are deferred from starting a
surprise general war.

long-range nuclear weapons
