Soviet Union
Could Not Escape
A Nuclear War
McKINLBY: Tex. UP) — Neither
Premier Khrushchev nor his sup
porters could escape American re
taliation if the Soviet Union start
ed a nuclear war, Vice President
Lyndon Johnson said Saturday.
In a speech prepared for de
livery to a Veteran’s Day audi
ence, Johnson said he spoke of
military preparations unwillingly,
"but I fear that if I keep silent
the forces of evil in this world
will interpret this silence as a
sign of weakness.”
Johnson continued: "The Unit
ed States has today hundreds of
manned intercontinental bombers
capable of reaching the remotest
parts of the Soviet Union —
neither Khrushchev nor his sup
porters can find a place to hide.
We have 600 heavy bombers and
many more medium bombers
equally capable of intercontinent
al operations.
"In addition, we have roaming
the seas six Polaris-equipped sub
marines carrying many atomic
missiles — submarines which can
not be detected by any known de
vice.
"The total number of our nu
clear delivery vehicles, tactical as
well as strategic, is in the tens
of thousands; and of course we
have more than one warhead for
each vehicle.”

Soviet Scientists
Seek Information
Off East Coast ,
BOSTON Ufi — A Boston fish
eries official says he believes
there are scientists aboard the So
viet fleet off the New England
coast collecting information of
value to Soviet submarine skip
pers.
Thomas Fulham, head of the
firm that owns the Boston Fish
Pier, said Friday night, “this
whole business of coming down
here to fish doesn’t ring clear to
me.”
He added that “Russia has 25
good oceanographers to our one.
They are undoubtedly collecting
information on water tempera
ture and thermal layers.”
Thermal layers — or levels of
water of different temperature—
are important in anti-submarine
warfare in that they bend or re
tract vibrations in the equip
ment which seeks out subs.
Fulham says same 100 Soviet
fishing vessels are believed to be
operating off the New England
coast. Some were seen last week
as close as 50 miles from the
Cape Cod summer home of Presi
dent Kennedy.
Capt. Thomas O’Brien, a vet
eran Gloucester fishing skipper,
suggested that if it were fish at
tracting the Soviets, fishermen
of other nations also would be
working in the local fishing area.
