China Nearing Test of Huge ICBM
William Beecher reports China is developing a three stage liquid fuel ICBM larger than the Soviet SS 9 and building underground silos near Peking. The missile could reach 5000 to 7000 miles, threatening most major Soviet and American targets. Analysts say full range testing could lead to 10 to 30 missiles in three years. Planners see deterrence against a first strike but fear wider nuclear arms development and possible treaty changes.
