Navy Chief
Doubts Claim
TOKYO IB Adm. Arlcigh A.
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.
The U.S. Navy chief is on a
tour of Japan, Korea, Okinawa
and Formosa.
