Margin in ICBMs Estimated at 4 to 1
London AP reports a defense survey estimates by 1964 the United States will hold 475 ICBMs against about 100 in the Soviet arsenal. Soviet forces total 3.3 million compared with 2.7 million in the United States, with Western alliance manpower at 7.8 million versus 7.5 million for the Communist bloc. The Institute for Strategic Studies notes limited shifts in Soviet policy and ongoing ICBM buildup, stressing high yield warheads on fewer missiles. The report sees the test ban treaty potentially hindering some progress but not blocking very low yield weapons development.
