Russians Say US Navy Fired on Soviet Trawler Near Norfolk
The Moscow note claims two US cruisers and a destroyer fired four dummy shells at a Soviet refrigerator trawler about 70 miles east of Norfolk Virginia in international waters. Washington opened a Navy led inquiry while Tass reports the shells were dummies and warn of grave consequences. President Kennedy warned Congress tax cuts are essential to avoid downturns and disaster, arguing debt limits and budgets must not be tightened further. The exchange highlights US Soviet tensions as Kennedy defends a broader economic plan including tax cuts and debt policy.
