Experts dispute China threat but warn of future arms
A panel of Far Eastern specialists testified before the House Foreign Affairs Subcommittee disputing McNamara's China fears. They argued China is not a current military threat unless provoked, though predictions include hydrogen bombs and ICBMs by 1970–75. The experts urged restraint and warned U S involvement could provoke upheaval in Asia. The Viet Nam war dominates Oregon political talk as Morse and Hatfield clash with Duncan for governor.
