Amazing Advance in Weapons Told
Washington reports the Joint Chiefs of Staff testified an amazing advance in weapon science has been made within the last year. Sen. O Mahoney said the U S is using scientific weapons including the atomic bomb to deliver a serious blow to any enemy. Rep Price claimed Russia has more and bigger atom bombs than believed while urging restoration of civil defense funds cut by the House appropriations committee. O Mahoney said the armed forces budget assumes the Soviet Union seeks economic collapse rather than general war. In a separate note, Montreal court cases saw speeding fines rise with first offenses at 15 and second offenses at 25 dollars as deterrence.
