Red China Puts
N-Launchers On
Two Submarines
WASHINGTON (UPD—Com
munist China has equipped its
two largest submarines with
launchers for nuclear missiles,
it was learned today.
Sources disclosed the U.S.
Navy has solid evidence that
three vertical launching tubes
capable of hurling missiles 380
miles have been placed aboard
each of the subs, now nearing
completion at Dairen in South
ern Manchuria.
This was approximately the
range of a nuclear-tipped
missile the Chinese claimed to
have tested successfully Oct. 27,
1966.
So far there is no evidence
that missiles have actually been
brought aboard, the Chinese
subs, the sources said, and it is
assumed that Red China will
lose no time making known
when it reaches the point it
could bring the United States
under nuclear attack.
The two submarines equipped
with missile launchers, although
conventionally powered and no
match for atom-driven subma
rines in speed and range, could
make it possible for the Chinese
to make a nuclear strike on the
United States years before their
intercontinental missiles are
perfected.
Chinese newspapers and offi
cial sources have conceded that
their nation’s industrial and
atomic centers are open to easy
destruction by U.N. Nuclear
weapons.
An ability to strike back, their
argument goes, would at least
improve their bargaining posi
tion with the United States.
One of the Chinese missile
subs is already in commission
and the other is almost finished,
according to Navy evidence.
LONG RUN
PUEBLO, Colo. (UPD—Jerry
W. Hoff isn’t waiting around
until the last minute. He has
announced his candidacy for
Pueblo County sherfif—three
years before the office even
becomes available.
Asked why the early start,
Hoff replied: “Well, a lot of
folks don’t know me. I want to
keep my name before the public
and let people know who I am.”
CHINESE COMMENT
HONG KONG (UPD—Com
munist China said today the
impending resignation of Robert
S. McNamara as U.S. defense
secretary is a pre-election ploy
by President Johnson to dam
pen dissent within the Democra
tic party. A Peking Radio
broadcast monitored here said
the U.S. Vietnam policy will not
change despite McNamara’s
departure.
