But the Soviets claim they are already mass producing ICBM's; Senator Stuart Symington has introduced figures which reveal a large Soviet lead; Werner von Braun reports that we are three years behind the Russians in developing our missiles, and intelligence estimates themselves show that the United States is soon going to fall well behind the U.S.S.R. in its missile arsenal. By 1963, it is estimated, against the Soviets...
