Burke, U.S. chief of naval opera tions, told a news conference to day he doubts if Russia now has an operating intercontinental bal listic missile. But he predicted both the Soviet Union and the United States will be able to use the 1CBM "in a year or so." Burke added that although "the weapons of war these days arc truly horrible weapons," the UFncl'e .nllpnlivp KPPIiritV hlflC "is probably more powerful than any weapon ever developed as a means of preventing war. Burke declared earth satellites "as a weapon, aren't important, except that it takes a lot of pow er to get a satellite into its orbit." "I don't mean to play down the achievement of the Russians. It will be of scientific value," he caid. "I don't sec what the advan tages would be in going to the moon," Burke observed, although he latr acknowledged such a feat by the Russians could have a psychological effect on other na tions of the Western alliance.
