Symington Outlines Danger of Surprise Attack
Secretary of the Air Force Symington warned that Communist powers possess the world’s largest ground army air force and submarine fleet and could launch a surprise atomic attack on any U S area with no sure defense. He spoke at Baylor University noting three stark facts behind the Iron Curtain including an atomic explosion and Russia’s proximity to U S cities, with Waco within an eight hour bomber flight from Moscow. Also, U S tax data shows January cigarette receipts at 177301, down from December, as officials emphasize alert conditions.
