Khrushchev boasts of global rocket reach in Berlin interview
Soviet Premier Khrushchev claims a global rocket can hit a fly in outer space and cannot be destroyed by any anti rocket means. He ties Berlin to East West tensions, says no immediate Berlin crisis, and sets no fixed peace treaty deadline while urging Western troops out of West Berlin. He rejects new four power talks, cites Western provocations, and backs a Soviet nuclear test ban linked to disarmament with Western acceptance of monitoring via national systems.
