Reds Follow U S Lead In Missile Program Shift
Washington reports that Russia is moving from giant rockets to smaller, more advanced missiles, narrowing the gap with the United States. McNamara argues the missile gap is a myth as Moscow emphasizes production of refined systems. Early Soviet rockets carried heavy warheads and required massive thrust, but are hard to safeguard and transport. The U S counters with Minuteman silos and renewed focus on smaller, improved missiles.

UN Assembly Seeks Adjournment Over Financial Issues
The 17th United Nations General Assembly pushed to adjourn amid ongoing financial concerns. President Zafrulla Khan urged timely settlements on Hungary and Palestine. Canada won two measures: a World Court advisory ruling that all members fund peacekeeping and a plan to form a 21 member committee to apportion costs. The panel aims to shift costs toward underdeveloped nations and limit permanent members' share while noting France, Nationalist China, and the Soviet Union have not funded past Congo or Middle East operations. Britain and the United States have contributed, with the U.S. bearing the heaviest load. Canada also funds its share and maintains contingents in both theaters.
