Beulah Threatens Texas Coast As Warnings Go Out
Hurricane Beulah roared toward the Texas coast with warnings from Port Aransas to Galveston. Beulah, then 190 miles southeast of Brownsville, was moving at 10 mph and expected to increase speed. Evacuations expanded as tides could reach 10 feet, threatening Port Isabel and Padre Island, with crops at risk in the Lower Rio Grande Valley and riverside towns bracing for flooding. Coast Guard and airline disruptions added to the tense response as Beulah neared the coast.

Battery In Each Region Antimissile System Announced
The Pentagon plans a $5 billion Nike X antimissile system to place at least one battery in each U S region protected by Sprint missiles. McNamara described a light defense aimed mainly at countering a potential Chinese nuclear threat in the 1970s with batteries along borders and coasts, plus some near general offensive missiles. Canada may host a radar site near the Great Lakes as part of the broader alert network, while the plan stops short of a full scale defense against a Soviet attack.
