Calm general did not alert Kennedy during false attack signal
Washington AP report says last fall’s false alert during Berlin crisis never reached the level to flash a danger signal to President Kennedy. Gen. Thomas S Power ordered hundreds of bombers on standby but did not inform Kennedy, McNamara, or the Joint Chiefs. Power would have notified top leaders if the alert had escalated. The warning issue was linked to SACs communications issues with BMEWS and Colorado Springs. Some Pentagon officials felt Washington should have been informed despite Power’s restraint.
