Soviet parade shows largest missile at Moscow jubilee display
In Red Square Moscow the Soviet Union exhibited its largest missile to mark the 50th anniversary of the party. In Washington a congressional subcommittee heard that the USSR aims to challenge US nuclear superiority while China remains a low military risk. Experts differed on US nuclear policy and ABM defense, with Rand Corp. Dr. Thomas W. Wolfe warning against delaying deployments. The Moscow parade also unveiled a new family of rockets including an intercontinental, a medium range, a submarine-appropriate naval missile, an air defense missile and an anti-tank system. The display underscored calls for a robust anti-missile shield to deter Soviet aggression and protect cities.

He blamed rising production costs and noted consumers will pay more for food due to marketing and processing charges as producers faced overproduction this year.
