McElroy Sees U S Ahead of Reds in Armed Power
Secretary of Defense Neil McElroy told the American Legion that the United States leads the Soviet Union in overall military strength today and will maintain that edge. He argued against dire predictions and noted the U S has three intercontinental ballistic missiles under development the Atlas Titan and Minuteman plus five intermediate range missiles. He warned against excessive spending on untried weapons but said longer term programs require investment as the nation weighs security with economic constraints.
